Locar, Bortus' ex-boyfriend who appeared in one episode and made out with Talla and then got arrested, is Moclan queer rep

BITCH I ONLY CARE THE THERE COULD BE A LOCAR REUNION RN

Let me tell ya’ll about the time I was once in the Homestuck fandom and a big fan. I still very much love the original despite its flaws, and no I don’t play any of the current games out (Hiveswap and FriendSim) nor will I be going into Homestuck 2. The story for me ended in Act 7.

I caved in and started reading it in late 2013 once I moved back home after graduating art school. I pretty much binge-read it as I had all the free time in the world during that time, and by December of the year that’s when I finally got to making some art for it. 

Long post ahead!

This is easily one of the biggest pieces I’ve done, and one I’m still so proud of. It’s pretty much the only other time I’ve tackled pixel-like work (the other being my lil sprite self above). One of my biggest inspirations earlier in the year was Wreck-It Ralph, mainly the Sugar Rush portion that I instantly fell in love with: Land of Candies and Racing (LOCAR) I can’t even begin to tell ya’ll how many layers this had...XD

This is pretty much what the planet itself would look like. To keep the summary as brief as possible, in Homestuck the characters play a game call SBURB which is far more realistic than they expected. Basically: in exchange for your own homeworld, you get to rule over the new universe you create. Each player gets their own planet once they complete the necessary requirements to enter their game. The above is my take, trying to copy it as close to the story visuals as possible. Looked up a lot of tutorials on it cuz I was just that dedicated back then LMAO

The landmass was from a random map generator, and I gave it a sugar texture to try and show it was a candy world. The rounded out clouds were done in photoshop with the spherize tool, and the tiny clouds on the edges were done by hand. I had an earlier version of this planet done completely by hand but I couldn’t find it in any of my old files.

As goofy as this is I still love it lol. Each planet has a consort, basically your in-game NPCs that live on your created planet. I picked honey birds to go along with the sugar theme.

This awesome vehicle is the mode of transportation on the planet, again tying back to Sugar Rush cuz it was my obsession at the time. I based this one after my favorite cake from my local supermarket Stop and Shop.

Oh hey it meeeee. I believe this was my first ever (kinda) pixel art.

Each player gets a Class and Aspect (shortened to Classpect) assigned to them. Mine is the Witch of Void. Several folks often said the Witch class is OP because they can break the rules of their Aspect without consequence. 

Here’s a better look at the outfit itself, drawn in my sad attempt of a cartoon style back then. This is the most recent of the three above on the last row, done around mid 2014. 

I know I also made a Trollsona, but I wasn’t able to find it either.
