my TPTM ocs so far... I've got another one but I'm adjusting her design since I wasn't happy with it originally

For this prompt, I considered Connor getting in trouble (with Hank) for getting involved in a red ice bust. So, here we have Pissed-Off-Dad!Hank grilling him in a literal interrogation as he tries to get his kid to confess he was needlessly reckless (and to promise to *never* do this again) :P

We have Gavin as a bonus character too, finally sympathizing with Connor somewhat 😅

Oh, and I have the red LED kinda visible - to highlight a contrast since the next part features a blue LED ^^

Hey there, Campers! I’m Head Counselor Jackie, and this is my spooky summer camp! Careful; some of the kids bite.

Specifically to paint 'opposite' to the previous scene, we have Connor being successful in a bust and Hank is in Proud-Papa!mode instead, hehe. Connor followed the rules this time and did his job well (and safely!).

It looks like an old-timey bank, but I loved the design too much to pass up on it. And it was funny including NPCs that are just there to look impressed :) I realize some things are anachronistic here other than the bank, but welp, my pixel resources are limited ;P

I hope the 'ruffle hair' effect paid off and that Connor's blue LED is pretty visible.

Ok, so I was cheap this year and started accumulating prompts without sharing them on time... 😰 Things got tangled up with RL work, but now I'm here for the last day, at least.

At least I'll be able to contribute in a marathon-like fashion.

For the 2nd and 3rd prompts, I fused them together to envision a family trip for Hank & Connor ^^ So they'd be at a summer house, star-gazing. Hank indulges Connor and listens to him talk on and on about constellations, but really, he's just glad to see his adoptive son ramble happily :3

Kinda going backwards here, but I spent the most time on it... Even though I couldn't finish completing all the prompts, I wanted to leave this for last 😊

It captures a different meaning in terms of 'devotion' because I mean it as a 'devoted tribute' to a fic that makes me endlessly happy/inspired. So, this goes out to @woo-lesbeano

Her story "Investigations and Emotions (And Handling Both)" is something I always go back to, so as a 'thank you,' I wanted to render a certain scene: Human!Connor finally catching a break and eating falafel while Android!Hank watches on protectively/affectionately.

Week 1, Prompt #1: Breakdown

I imagine Connor having his own version of PTSD and getting mentally transported back to the Garden as these negative memories and feelings resurface. Hank doesn’t always know how to help... but he tries and always stays nearby, within reach. Eventually, the reassurances are enough and Connor stays more grounded, especially once he sees Hank hasn’t left his side at all.

(I liked playing with the ‘glitchiness’ effects -- and showcasing how Connor breathes better and talks a bit once he notes Hank’s presence, even if his red LED is still cycling.

Also, I’m playing a little bit more with musical background [courtesy of Maplestory’s archives once more], so I intend for that to carry some of the sentiment through as well :D)
