my gift for the MBD new year gift exchange! also here on AO3 with (soon) more notes on the before-and-after for this - though here's a few brief points of context:

MB was assisting with a legal colony rescue that very suddenly and unexpectedly became a physical colony rescue during [an unspecified natural disaster]; it got separated from the rest of its crew in the ensuing chaos, and clonked on the head hard enough to not only knock out its internal comms/feed connectivity but also dislodge basically all its memories since it went rogue (maybe something to do with differing file architecture interacting with reboot systems, idk, im an ecologist)

(meanwhile, ART and the rest of the team are in contact with one another and are super panicking - no contact, no GPS, no idea if it’s alive or dead, and half the colony’s in the same position. not a good time for team Perihelion. oops!)

CU/Dr Perseverance Helin escaped the CR partly with ART’s help (it was literally like “hey just hide round the corner til secunit is gone then get back in here, i’ll give you whatever surgery you like :)”; the name CU’s currently using was indeed also inspired by “Perihelion”) but mainly because nobody in the CR turns their nose up at a medic you can pay with your silence. once out, it got a real accreditation, and joined the local chapter of doctors without borders with a specialisation in augments and prostheses - it’s the part of its function that it liked. 

it takes. a while. for MB to realise Dr Helin is also a construct. CU is not about to say Anything direct, just in case, + no feed connection so no noticing a bot feed address, and CU mainly uses an interface anyway. finding out is simultaneously a huge improvement and huge detriment - on one hand, phew, no humans know it’s rogue and no humans did surgery on it, but on the other, there’s a fucking rogue construct here

im so back, my best art year since 2020 and that feels damn good. and a lot of stuff i'm really proud of, at that. yippee!! onwards to 2025!

[proximart]

im prox! pronouns: whatever's your favourite👍mainly i get paid to be out standing in a field. my marketable skills include various art, wildlife photography, an inexplicable love of spreadsheets, and catching lizards.

current commission status: could be persuaded

you can find me:

on Tumblr! @proximally is the everything blog, @proximart is my art only, @proximadraconi for Flight Rising, @purroxima for Pixel Cats End, and @ectonaut for my very dusty collection of art tips/tutorials. i follow from @also-proximally, which is itself empty, because a decade ago i was tupid and now it's too late👍

on Bluesky as improxible - brand new, currently empty, likely to be my art only unless tumblr explodes.

on Redbubble as callp - im very lazy about this, so if what you want isn't there, just let me know and I'll put it up asap! (unless it's a commission)

on Ko-fi as improxible - i am nowhere near consistent enough for patreon lmao

on Twitch at improxible - i've done some draw streams in the past, perchance i will again

on Flight Rising as Proxima (#61019)

on Pixel Cats End as proxima (#16506)

+ quick guide to using my art for icons/banners (noncommercial only): commission: ask the commissioner fanart: yes, with credit other/unsure: just ask!
