[ID: a drawing of slate and mica from outer wilds. slate is running away from an explosion, grinning and carrying mica under one arm. mica is holding their arms out in front of them like they're flying, and has a big smile. the drawing is stylized to look like shapes cut out and layered on top of each other. end ID]

My secret santa piece for @lichbarry! It was tehe perfect excuse to get out of my comfort zone and draw solanum (and backgrounds!!! Look at those rocks!!!

It was really fun to try and capture all the emotions this moment made me feel in game ::] -> More Outer Wilds Art!

I finally reworked my sketch into a full illustration! Outer Wilds is such an incredible game, and I’ve been wanting to draw something from it for the longest time. I had a blast figuring out this piece. I wanted to keep the original’s texture while adding more vibrant color, and I love how it turned out!

The Eye Thing - PART 5 (2022)

Let's end this story on a positive note! This scene is pretty much how I imagine Gossan and Slate's relationship is. They dislike being around one another, but you can feel that they were actual friends at some point. I feel like, when the time is right, they can act right and actually be a team, but they have so much baggage that they can just barely stand each other. I also feel like Gossan would be the one starting the fights more often, and Slate being the one not letting go afterwards. I don't think they were ever very close. Mostly having Feldspar as a friend in common. But I feel like they wish that sometimes, they both wish to be back in a time where they tolerated each other. Life would be just easier this way.

Hornfels is not one for superstition. But sometimes...

I know I am currently posting old comics, but I'm also gonna post the new ones!

I felt the need to draw a quick comic, something light hearted and wholesome. I had this little idea for a while, and finally decided to draw it.

the Hornfels, Hal and Hatchy relationship is something I like to think about. I think everyone had their little emotional support when Feldspar disappeared. Slate had Mica, Gossan had Porphy, and Hornfels had Hal and Hatchy!

Progress Shots below cut:

I started this piece shortly after I got home from LBX where one of the pieces of feedback I got was to take more time planning my piece and to not get attached to one composition before you've had the chance to try a few iterations of the idea.

So I really, really took my time working out a few drafts before I settled on the one that eventually became this piece and dear god that took so long. I spent nearly 2 weeks on JUST drafts. I normally only spend 2 days max planning a piece and that usually just involves moving things around and resizing things to try and get a good composition. This time I completely nuked my sketches (not actually, just hid them so I had a blank canvas) and tried completely different compositions. I also (for once) did some color tests before starting my final piece (my color composition can still use some work fkdslkfs). But also, this concept was just very difficult to execute because I really, really wanted to include music in the piece because it was my favorite part of the game, but it's also really, really difficult to work it into the piece in a way that looks good.

All in all, a good exercise and I'm pretty happy with how the piece came out! With time I will eventually make a habit of spending more time on the planning stage of my illustrations rather than just plowing through the first idea I have hehe
