Hello, everybody. Writing in from my ivory tower high on the hill, offering you my sincerest wishes for your good health and continued toil toward building a better future.

Commentary + Sketches: 1 WOND3R WH4T TH3Y T4ST3 L1K3

A science fiction writer I really respect once told me that “the purpose of prose is to take an hour to examine a moment” and I think about that a lot. I think that at its most basic level, the beauty of prose is to let yourself linger on shit you really couldn’t in any other medium. In reality, someone drops an egg, and it takes maybe half a second to hit the ground and crack. But with prose you can freeze that egg on its way down. You could really dig into what’s so very messed up about this egg getting smashed. Maybe it was the final egg. Maybe it was a lucky egg. Maybe you’re known as the motherfucker in the family who drops all the damn eggs all the time.

Chapter 12 - Really Convoluted Metaphorical Horseshit

Chapter 11 Sketches + Commentary

From the get go, we have this ship. A lot of hs^2 is like… very serious. I think thats cool because I don’t know how to do that. I am pretty good at writing goofy things though so my original goal for this chapter was to make it a little less serious. My favorite parts of homestuck were always when it made me laugh, or when it was just extremely silly. Where are the JOKES? I drew the original draft of the ship in paint and made it a twitchy gif. The artist thought this was so funny that they insisted we keep it in. So he cleaned it up and we kept it.

Chapter 13: The Funeral

Fri Sep 18, 2020

Commentary + Sketches: Diamonds, Dames, and Dads Pt. 2

Here we go again at Midnight City. My darkhorse favorite setting in all of the MSPAdventures canon. In fact, as much as I love everything that’s going on in HS^2 (a very uncontroversial comic) this is probably my favorite storyline we’ve got going. For obvious reasons, probably. I’m not sure if I honestly have anything too new or groundbreaking to report. I love cheesy bullshit noir, and one day I will write an entire game completely filled with cringey pastiche of men in crumpled suits smoking and making eyes at each other.

November WIP and December Poll!

Hi everyone! November marks the first month of our new tier, and what better way to commemorate its birth than with some… DEMOCRACY. Just to remind everyone how this works: every month starting now, you can vote in polls to determine what the next month’s illustration will be. Each poll will consist of four potential prompts, including a theme and a set of characters. This month, all the prompts were chosen by us and are themed around the holiday season. HOWEVER, if there’s something you would like to see further down the line, then comments section is a great place to suggest ideas!

The poll will be open for one week starting today, so you’ve got plenty of time to agonize over your choice. Finally, as a little thank you for participating, here is the sketch for the November illustration! We’ll aim to have the finished thing ready for you as soon as possible.

Commentary: December Bonus

November was a very stupid month. I mean, stupider than the rest of the year, which is saying something. Didn’t Destiel happen in November? Fuck, it feels like Turbo Hell became a thing at least a year ago. Whatever. Between personal life stresses, a pandemic, the election, and scrambling to get last minute details squared away before we shipped Act 2, I arrived in December with my brain feeling like a large, floppy mushroom growing between my ears. A large, floppy mushroom that did not want to do anything besides kind of ooze around, and definitely not come up with any clever ideas for comics.
