another homestuck zine hosted by @eure-k-a jfkdlskjjfkdsl yippee

GO CHECK IT OUT: Strider's Vinyl Vault

blehhhh i love this even if there are mistakes and things id change guehgjdsg anyway original album cover, link in text, and image description under the cut

[ID: My Chemical Romance's album "3 Cheers For Sweet Revenge" is emulated, the two faces (originally being the Demolition Lovers) are replaced with Nepeta and Equius from homestuck. Instead of "my chemical romance.", the text now reads "D--> my chemical romance%" (with the percentage symbol being subscript) and instead of "THREE CHEERS FOR SWEET REVENGE" the text now reads ":33< THR33 CH33RS PAW SW33T REVENGE". Both are stylized in simplistic black and white shapes and disconnected lines. There is simple light grey shading on the faces and most notably different is that they both have orange horns. Nepeta is on the left with cat ear shaped horns, some darker orange shading to indicate concavity. Her head is tilted up. She has a black cat nose and black lips with a small white canine tooth sticking out. She is wearing her cat shaped hat and also a choker with a small bell. There is not much below the neck before the image is cut off. Equius' head is tilting down and his eyes are hidden behind cracked sunglasses. He has asymmetrical horns with his left side a conical arrow shape and on his right it is broken off. The tops of his horns are somewhat hidden by text. There are blood splatters across both of their faces and unlike the original being red blood on both faces, Nepeta has olive/dark green blood staining her face and Equius has indigo/cobalt blue blood staining his face. small dots of splattered blood in olive and indigo also stain the album. The background is simplistic black and adjacent cool toned greys with some blurry white lines. In the bottom right corner shows the "Parental Advisory Explicit Content" warning. End ID]

my second piece for the Rosemary Zine! this was meant to be a shitpost drawing and i kept getting mad at how good it ended up becoming

(piece one)

[kamisamaneko]

I made these for a faux zine for my printmaking class Homestuck was the easiest thing for me to do art for ¯\_( ツ)_/¯

[kahpao]

I made a lil Nepeta ♦️ Equius christmas comic for a Homestuck holiday zine :33 I love when Nepeta acts like a cat haha, she is the ultimate cat girl and I love her 💚

[candycorncremator]

Unfortunately lower visual quality than I wanted be because Tumblr only allows 10 images so I smushed them into three canvases instead of two post. Anyway beta trolls Headcanon and some thoughts below the cut.

Aradia

Aradia is the design I probably have the most experience drawing of the beta trolls purely because of how many zines I’ve drawn her in the last year. I like thinking of her hair similar to Pinkie Pies’ in g4 of mlp, where it’s very curly bouncy in her alive and godtiered forms but straightens out more when she’s ghosting up the place and in Aradia-bot form. I didn’t realize until a recent zine I had been drawing her horns ways too low for comic accuracy but I am a creature of habit so I keep drawing them like that.

Tavros

I’ve grown to love this kid because of my recent reread but I do not like drawing them. Between the Mohawk and the long, straight horns, I don’t care to draw their most important traits so he unfortunately only gets drawn in these group drawings. As for the one ear being pierced, it’s kinda a reference to cow tags but also I think it just fits them.

Sollux

Sollux a pretty easy character to design. I just have to imagine a greasy nerd kid growing up too fast for him to put on weight, add his troll bits and voila. The snake bites are definitely a hold over from the humanstuck I made for him last year but I think it just kinda add to his whole vibe. The undershirt comes from someone who also sits in a hot-ass room most of my days and will wears a second layer so leaving the room won’t feel like stepping out into a frozen wasteland.

Karkat

Karkat for me has always been short and stout guy. Other than that most of his facial features are taken from me, being someone who also over exaggerates their faces and nearly always is squinting a little.

Nepeta

Between all my designs of Nepeta the only thing that ever changes with any consistency is her hair. Like giving her cleft lip scar because I gave it to my fan-descendent of her and it’s cute.

Kanaya

Like two months ago I saw a post on here saying give that girl a nose (in reference to Kanaya) and it was the single most true HC I have ever seen. I also like completely throw out any references I have of her when I draw her hair because I think she should have 1930’s waves and curls. I typically only have to draw the super simple eyes so the only thing I had to change was giving her actual eyes.

Terezi

Got pretty comic accurate but probably would erase some of the chin to imply she’s fat a little better if I wasn’t doing this more rigid style.

Vriska

Also pretty comic accurate with the exception of the snake bites which is probably because I don’t draw her a lot and I don’t think about her much enough looks wise to have any specific head canons.

Equius

Goodness his hair gave me a struggle, kept on looking like a balding metal head until I added the pushed back stuff. Also returned back to drawing pseudo animal ears by giving him horse ears only angle to better fit a humanoid head.

Gamzee

I hate their make-up but every thing else about drawing them is a dream; goat ears, not straight hair, simple horns, silly little guy. What more could I ask for.

Eridan

And I’m almost done but unfortunately this doofus is next and requires the most detailed bust even in canon. Due to drawing them in this year’s 413 countdown I know how I like styling their hair and fins so I basically just chop the hair up since this is suppose to be during comic hcs and then follow their canon and Pesterquest designs with a few added features and boom. I was drawing everyone with the dark grey lips but I forgot for Eridan so I’ll just say they use concealer on their lips.

Feferi

Yippee! Back to ignoring canon and just giving her the biggest eyes on account of her glasses and cute piercings. I originally based her fins off of lion fish fins but they’re definitely more based off of betta ventral fin now.

[entropicbias]

Nice to meet you, entropicbias. I'm televisedanime (better known under my alias televisedanime.tumblr.com). Your johndave work is spot-on and you knock them right out of the ballpark. There's a certain level of versatility to your style and you are both a peerless flower and ingenious innovator in the field of yaoi. Thank you for your contributions. I'm going to keep it concise and get to the meat and potatoes of this ask: do you have any criteria for determining who the goat(s) in terms of homestuck fanartistry is/are? What, in your perspective, makes a veritable juggernaut in the homestuck sphere (or even in a broader sense)?

hello, televisedanime! thank you so much for the commendations. the way you talk about my depictions of them makes me feel like i have a phd in hammertime. i might as well at this point. it makes me super happy to see other people agreeing with my work because this is the one romantic/normal pairing in homestuck that means a lot to me personally, so i feel like i really do get them. i'd be really devastated to hear it if i didn't! ok, to answer your question... i don't really have the time to peruse old homestuck content. i'm trying to, but it's really hard when most of the art i like of one creator is from de-activated accounts and most of the other ones draw incest art on the side. what makes someone stand out for me, is probably mostly in their style. having a really good sense of depicting the characters is equally as important but sometimes people just have art that's like eye candy to me. so, for now, here's a list of homestuck artists that have really stuck with me and are sources of inspiration myself. -unforgivablecontent really great animator. lots of their stuff is on youtube but my personal favorites are the homestuck funnies comps and that tavros dave rap battle.

-radicaldude42/mars-gallavanger great artist, very unique style, and an incredible mspa comic artist.

-vintagefoods has such a phenomenal creative eye. one of the best homestuck artists. i love the use of colors and the eye for great attire.

-deaconblues awesome guy, even more awesome art. great writer and illustrator, i trust him with everything john egbert. that guy just gets him. read everafter on mspfa, the moveout zine, and a big man on campus. he's a brilliant comic artist too. has been on my list of great artists for a good while.

-toreodere talented in every retrospect. toreo nails the homestuck style and to top it off she's like, multitalented. check out her tumblr she does it all.

-feengoid my goat who also has such a unique and fun art style. i love the way she draws and how inventive she gets with her art. she's also really fucking funny.

-pinballhazard ASTOUNDINGLY good artist! an absolute gem in the homestuck community. amazing comic author and has a really unique and weirdly nostalgic style. he's like, a child prodigy i dunno how this kid is 16. -bloobydabloob i don't even want to talk about morris i just want to show you our stupid fucking egg beef.

-tempestousstocking a wonderful artist. been in the johndave community for a while and totally gets it. -leon i forgot his username we all know him also a great artist. i'm running out of things to say i just like his art. -jumblefriend this person is on twitter for all i know but they draw the best nepeta ever. their style is so hilariously good and cartoony. i'd love to see them make comics or something one day they're very talented. michael- i forgot his handle but he makes great music too. hello michael. crazy stuff! -tentapillar/mariboo doesn't make a lot of homestuck art currently. i think they've moved on from their old account too. not sure but their old homestuck art ruled. amazing amazing artist.

you should know that your art slays absolute pussy like it takes out my sternum and pisses on it each and every time. the way you draw nepeta and jade in particular is so ball bustlingly good it makes be chortle a good golly when i see it. if ur still taking art requests (and its completely fine if u aren't) could u do more meowrails, cause they got my ad in hd. anyways i hope your phone doesn't lose charge and that you experience no glitches in your art program

OH??? waaaa tysm 😭😭😭 i love drawing those two sm + i never know what to say with compliments but i'm glad u like my art!! once i finish my zine stuff i'll draw you a lil meowrails. as a treat :3c
