#comic format

bluh. i was talking earlier about how if homestuck was written today that dave would (mostly ironically) be a BAR (Birds Arent Real) truther and came up with this fun little convo:

so then SÆ came up with an absolutely sick dave rap below which i felt the need to bring into a comic format (sketch also shown below)

okay. then, after a bit, i finished! i had a lot of fun making this and also have some more extras:

Dave after he kills the crow and wires actually come out of it because it was a drone the entire time:

a thing V wrote where dave talks to john (i actually liked this better than my version tbh):

(I don't know if the ask I sent regarding Anan's eyes reached Siphok, but if tumblr didn't eat it, sorry for asking and then losing patience to wait. I feel like I probably got a few things wrong with your characters' designs anyway. If official reference sheets of them come out, I may just draw them again.)

In regards to Bobo's comment about what she's seeing definitely not being Malleus... yes Jaxon has tricked her and she's mistaken Malleus for a tree before. She's somewhat near-sighted but refuses to believe that she could benefit from glasses.

Anan and Charin may have gotten ears which my chibi style doesn't usually have, but Jaxon got eyebrows. I usually don't use eyebrows for my chibi style either unless it really helps with emoting but it just felt like I was giving Jaxon a huge forehead with all that empty space.

Also I can't decide how I want to do belts for my chibi style so Jaxon randomly sometimes has a belt. One panel doesn't really show the earrings on Anan's ear and that's because I forgot along with also not knowing what to do with that ear angle.

I thought it would also be fun to share my rough drafts. Had a really rough draft first to try to get the idea down.

Then I polished up to a better rough draft.

Then afterwards decided to split it into two parts considering the size of it all. I did also originally sketch Bobo's phone to be like a flip-phone. When it came to the official outlining, I looked up what phone Crowley actually gives the MC in Twst. It's a smartphone and not something super old.

Also I changed some of Anan's lines as I realized that Siphok also takes the role of the MC and I wasn't sure how to go about merging worlds. I decided to try to keep it a bit more vague by keeping Bobo saying she's from Ramshackle, but not having anyone say if she's the Prefect. So could just be a dormmate I guess? Or just something that no one acknowledges or thinks about when two different MC-inserts may cross paths.
