chapter 2 of half of what you think of me is out!

summary:

If a fusion is more than the sum of its parts, then what are its parts?

or

it's a bit of an open secret that I'm basing every chapter art on a famous painting. this one's van gogh's the potato eaters! whole reason I had a dinner scene happen in the chapter was to give myself an excuse lol

I slapped a light bulb on there that doesn't actually exist in steven's kitchen for composition points, and so I wanted to play a bit with the light in such a way that the more well lit a character is here the more involved they are in the current situation.

greg has the most light on him because he's very actively looking out for the whole human side of the whole shebang. at least one of his sons has to eat and that's what all this is for. fork in hand and all.

garnet is the second most well lit because even though she hasn't said or done much she is being very observant and doing a lot of analysis and internal back-and-forth and future visioning and some other things that I'll leave to reveal in her POV chapter.

amethyst is cast in less light because that's her way of coping. little bit of detachment, as a treat. make light of the situation, put legs up on the table. she still has her attention on the steebs, though.

pearl is pearling. already explored her internal crisis plenty.

and the dimmest lit one is the half-man of the hour himself, because no one will tell him what's up and why they're acting so weird, dammit!

Hi! I draw, sew, knit, embroider, make cosplays, and write, among other more occasional ventures into various art forms! The universe gave me chronic pain because otherwise I'd be unstoppable /silly
