🩷 PINK: SEX 🩷

This year I’m attempting to make Gentlebeard art based on the colours of the Gilbert Baker pride flag!

First one was easy because it’s my favourite colour, AND one of the best things to draw them doing, I hope you like it! 🥰

HAPPY PRIDE, DARLINGS

RED: LIFE

What if life just… begins again?

The second piece in my attempt to make OFMD art for every colour in the Gilbert Baker Pride Flag this month! This was a difficult one to decide on, but it’s the beginning of their new lives in so many ways, so I thought it would fit well, and, y’know, blood and smoke and fire and stuff 🥰

“andy weir provided a packet to the creature shop that was like a packet of eridian biology and stuff but there wasn’t much about eridian culture or eridian sociology and i made a bunch of choices going in because i just needed to have like a ‘who am i?’ right? 

[…] and i made a decision that rocky’s species, that eridians are really social animals that in fact are like a beehive or a pod of dolphins - it’s a unique and really integrated ecosystem of everybody doing their [specific] part. and the fact that rocky had to fly that ship for about 45 years - longer than grace has been alive, i wanna point that out - he’s been alone on that ship, having to run that by himself and- ryan and i would talk about that, one day we sat down and he was like “so what’s the movie from rocky’s perspective?” and i was like “oh it’s like ‘alien’, […] like he’s in a ‘contagion’ movie by himself and he has no idea what’s going on.”

he’s basically in castaway by himself which of course ryan is too but like, one reason why we never cut to the past of rocky is like, i think it was really horrifying! i don’t think rocky has slept in however many years and so a thing i was really struggling with is this idea of like “rocky must watch sleep” because how do you make that a need as opposed to like, a cute idea? and i just had to make the decision that […] he has a lot of unprocessed trauma around the things that he doesn’t understand and how much he is blaming himself because he’s the guy who fixes, he’s the guy who fixes and there was something really freeing about deciding that rocky was a deeply emotional, deeply anxious, deeply horrified person - being - that is trying to move through that in some way and how that affects the early scenes with him until there’s a point in the story where you can see we’ve physically softened rocky’s behaviour, because he’s finally feeling more safe and ok but all of that lore, all of that information [was essential].

When Lucius met Stede Bonnet, he didn’t like the man very much. Like most of the other crew members, he saw Stede as a condescending spoiled brat and utterly unqualified as a captain, with not long left for the world. But as time passes and Lucius learns more about Stede’s past, he grows fonder of his captain and intrigued by what he’s packing.
