i showed progress here and then didn't uhhhhh tag it because i get nervous about sharing wips <2 even when streaming i get very nervous if my art isn't in a state where i'm ready for other people to see it yet / don't have a sketch ready to jump right in with.
i can talk a little more about my thoughts behind the picture.
constellations in the sand is the biggest project i've ever *completed* before. i got really in depth with the characters and started to feel like i knew them really well by the end, which made it hard to say goodbye knowing there wouldn't be any post-story for them if i wanted to "keep playing" in my thoughts or with notes the way there is for my other projects. one of my friends suggested i draw one more picture with them at the end of the project to kind of cap it off and give myself closure. since the chapter with the prisoner is such a big deal in the story, and the simulation is kind of chert's Thing, i decided to go with cliff and chert getting ready to head downriver and out of sight in a similar environment to the prisoner's final message.

Howdy Jadie! Thank you so much for your cosy questions for my rancher and geologist duo, hehe!
I have actually already answered these for Mohs and Dusty individually, but I think it will be fun to answer them as if they were answering as a couple together - as if I don't yap about their relationship enough already, hehe!
As always, answers are under the cut!
English Breakfast: What are Mohs' and Dusty's morning routine?
No rest for the wicked, Dusty is still up before dawn most days to get started on their ranch work with the Fellers. Most days they try not to wake Mohs up, but somedays they like to give their partner a little smooch before they head out. Their whiskers tickle, hehe.
Mohs rises an hour or so afterwards and will go about their usual morning routine - wash, brush teeth, choose appropriate outfit etc. and then they'll gather thing needed for breakfast and get coffee on the stove for when Dusty comes back.
Depending on if Mohs has survey work to be doing, the two often end up missing each other. Dusty heads out before the sun, Mohs pops out early morning, Dusty arrives back mid morning etc. so they'll often leave little things for each other to help out. Hot coffee, breakfast, dishes done, boiler started for warm water for Dusty's shower/tub etc.
Once they have Pip it's a bit of a different story, but . . . story for another time >w<
Pu-erh: What do Mohs and Dusty do when they’re stuck indoors for a day or two?
Under the assumption that all the livestock are sorted and any ranchwork that needs doing is done, Mohs and Dusty likely spend most of their time fixing up the interior of the homestead.
Think kind of like Carl and Ellie from UP! fixing up their home. Lots of hard work and likely a few DIY disasters but they're doing it together and making the ranch theirs.
They also enjoy a lot of, ahem, "quality" time together. ;;)
Chamomile: What do Mohs and Dusty do to relax?
If the pair can get a lie-in, they're 100% on that. A nice-lie in as a tangle of limbs is never taken for granted at the ranch.
Dusty is actually a bit of a rockhound. They like tumbled rocks and enjoy collecting them. This is obviously great news for Mohs, and near the beginning of their relationship, Mohs teaches Dusty all about the different kinds of rocks they can find around the ranch property, in return for lessons on how to ride Bucks (horse-like critters designed by @eruraima!) Once Mohs is relatively comfortable on . . . buckback(?) the pair will often go out for a ride alongside one of Timber Hearth's rivers to look for pretty tumbled rocks.
Everything mentioned in Fishin' in the Dark by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Thanks so much for your ask, Jadie! It was fun to think of these two as a pair, hehe!
You get to tell your favourite OW Character(s) 1 thing. Who are they, and what are you telling them?
ooh, good question. i guess first i'd have to pick a favorite- it's really hard with this cast, like, i like to write about chert, but slate's right there, you know? and then solanum!!! if i could go back in time i'd shake pye's hand and tell her her stupid tone deaf jokes are great and to never stop making them.
see, i think, the only character i'd say something besides "never change" to would be solanum or the prisoner- and you DO get to say "you were good, that decision had consequences, the eye was not forgotten" to the prisoner.
maybe to solanum i'd tell her i hope the journey never ends. even if one part does (her part, maybe), another part will pick up from it and the spirit of your adventure continues even if you do not. but i think she probably would know that if she thought about it too.

📝 What is one growth area you have for your writing?
i find it hard to play fast and loose with sentence structure (or paragraph structure, for that matter). i see a lot of fics pull off really wild stuff and do a fantastic job at it to convey confusion or disorientation or just scattered thoughts or reality, and whenever i try to emulate it i end up just writing how i always do lol.
💭 What is a headcanon you have about your own work?
i'm not really sure what this question refers to, honestly! like... my work is my work, what you see is what you get, you know? if i think a headcanon contributes to the story, i weave it in, and if i don't, then i keep it to myself and don't really talk about it.
is the question asking about something behind the scenes in a specific story? like, i can say chert in constellations is demi and i wrote them that way, but that was kind of something that came about through the writing of the story more than an idea i had at the beginning haha.
😈 Is there anything you enjoy doing that you think your readers hate?
while i would never torment my readers (or myself) with a non sequitur or fully tragic ending, i do lean on the idea of reality towards the ends of my stories and i typically go for the very bittersweet type of ending. i'll have to see if that's to anyone's taste.
