hmmmm!!!

The last of my Homestuck kid drawings is another one where I struggled a little to find the right idea. Jade is quirky and lovable and there were almost too many ideas for what I could've drawn. Eventually I decided to do something different from what I did with the other kids. I drew her dream self exploring Prospit and staring at a bunch of different clouds with scenes from her past, present, and future.

My Roxy drawing was a fun one: instead of taking place at her house, I drew her experimenting at the Skaianet lab next door. For this art, I made a point of not including any alcohol because many fans to this day associate Roxy's character with only alcohol which is really annoying. Instead I focused on her love of cloning cats.

For John Egbert (the Homestuck character most similar to me by far), I decided to keep things simple and make a parallel to my Rose art: him on the computer chatting with Rose.

My Dirk drawing I'd say is the best of my Homestuck kid drawings. I drew him building his rapping robot Squarewave and put lots of cool little details in the art: his puppet Lil Cal, a TV screen with Hella Jeff as a pony, and even the tiny pony Minihoof.

For Dave it was a little trickier to decide what to draw. I ended up going with something loosely Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff themed: him riding a shitty skateboard and slicing a nacho in half using his SORD..... I considered drawing him slicing a hot dog with jelly on top of it instead (SBaHJ reference), but decided a nacho was more recognizable.

For Jake, it was also easy to decide what to draw. I drew him watching his favorite movie Weekend at Bernie's and absolutely laughing his ass off. I looked up on Google Images a scene from the movie where you can clearly tell Bernie is a corpse and I redrew it using colored pencils to allow for extra detail, whereas I drew Jake himself mainly with markers.

For Jane it was pretty easy to decide what to draw: her baking a cake! One for her friend Dirk, which I assume she'll send to the future using her Crockercorp technology. She's a character I'm still not sure how to feel about but that's Hussie's fault for not expanding on her enough, then deciding in post-canon material to make her a villain for some reason. Also, I put in a Problem Sleuth (or perhaps Problem Sleuth 2) poster in the background.

Over the past week, I did a series of drawings of the Homestuck beta and alpha kids and now I'm posting them to Tumblr. The first one I did was Rose because at work I just felt an urge to draw her on the computer with her cat Jaspers on her lap. Then I decided drawing the cat on the desk would be easier.

Route 201 (Day) (JP Version) - Pokémon Diamond & Pearl

Album title: idk why i didnt submit this to volume L (though I could've also called it Route 201 on Mars)

I wanted to do something with "Cats on Mars" by the Seatbelts because it had shown up in several Siiva rips and is such a fun song, so I simply came up with this. I think it's a nice little arrangement.

Player Down - Yoshi's Island

There isn't much to say about this super-short rip, so instead of commentating on it, I'll explain why I only have three tracks on the album "smol rips for smol people" when I've made plenty of other rips that are just as smol. The reason why is because I completely forgot to submit to the album at first, and I only got to be on it because three tracks were removed at the last minute and needed replacements so that the album would still have 69 contributors and 420 tracks. I picked the three smol rips of mine that I think are the funniest, and the rest will have to wait till another day to get on an album.

Aqua Star (Alpha Mix) - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Now here's my second rip of Aqua Star! It's not as good as the one with Redial, but I still think this is a fun one. Backroom member Harmony Friends chose this as the second rip uploaded on the 20th anniversary of "All Star" by Smash Mouth because they really liked this one in particular. I put in not just All Star, but two other songs with a similar personality that are connected through their presence in Neil Cicierega's Mouth albums: "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind, and "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. All three of these songs are goofy and weird, but total bangers at the same time—in other words, perfect for Siiva rips.

Amity Square (Beta Mix) - Pokémon Diamond & Pearl

Probably one of my cutest-sounding rips, this features Butter Building, The Lion Sleeps Tonight (which became a small running gag during the channel's 2019 termination), and Totino's. And the four notes of the Nutshack which I occasionally sneak into rips.
