Home of Bitkin, the City of Elseways, Tessera, and whatever else the Wandering Mind sees fit to turn its energy to. Current project: a series of assorted small things
A bit more sketching of Lexl, as well as his big brother Cielo who he lives with full-time and who takes care of all the adulting around their place. They live in Makeshift Junction out in Elseways' northeastern desert, in a small house up in the rock-strewn hills.

This was just a quick before-bed sketch but I like how it turned out enough to post. Lexl is coming into his own as a character, I think. He's young enough to still enjoy being a kid, and free enough that he doesn't worry about a whole lot.

Lexl's overall look is coming together nicely. These sketches went right to left in the order I drew them, so you can see how I'm getting his facial shape and hair more consistent. One upside of being taur-shaped: you can carry a much heavier backpack.

Leonardo Xanthus Leyendas, or "Leo" for short, is a 12-year-old liontaur kid based on some exploration of what kind of fursona I'd have chosen for myself if I'd known about the fandom at that age. I'm not sure what his story is yet, but he might not need his own lore yet.

Carmina is sensitive enough in matters of spirit that she can detect something's wrong with the captain. He even picked his crew specifically so they couldn't see it, but she can. A curse, following him like a second shadow, that's been there his whole life.

I had trouble thinking of movies I've seen six times, because I don't watch a whole lot of movies in the first place and the ones I do I tend to just watch once. And then I remembered there's a whole collection of movies I have seen a lot.

Pixel portrait of Simka Choi, red panda with a few more legs than normal. She's a painter, primarily, and she has access to supernatural paints; she can make canvases that lead to other worlds, although it takes lots of skill and patience to make them lead exactly where she wants them to go.

Spotted this food truck at the newly open Federal Way light rail station and just had to do a sketch.

Find bunny. Keep those bunnies. Elseways makes myself characters.

Brillig lounges casually on the deck of the Silver Lining. This is mostly just another sketch to test out some coloring techniques, but also to get comfortable drawing him in other poses.
He's got mixed emotions, too, about how the voyage to find Nada's home went. The ship's his now, but now what?

Captain Brillig J. Bandersnatch in color. I didn't realize how corvid he'd look until this was nearly done, but I think that works well given who he is.

Neena is known for experiments like this, but I haven't drawn her engaging in them lately. There's a chance they'll both stay this way.
Marked "suggestive" only because Neena is shirtless, but there's nothing there she's actually hiding. She's reptilian enough to be entirely flat-chested.

Worked out a rough (and incomplete) deck plan for the Silver Lining. It’s based on a real-life science/cruise ship, although that one doesn’t have the fins or the ability to fly.

The mission to find Nada’s home world was technically a success, but its inhabitants don’t recognize him. Whatever it is he became, it’s something they’ve never seen before in the celestial void they inhabit.

Nada Number's true form, beneath the ink coating. He never reveals himself like this because it feels vulnerable; it's how he was when he was forced through the experiments that defined his early life. If he's going to meet his true family, though, this is what they'd want to see.

Down in the chart room, Farran has good and bad news for the captain. Good: He and Xana have found a route to the colorful spacelike world Nada and Vivid hail from. Bad: it's through a portal, the other end of which is in the hazardous and unstable part of the cosmos known as the Froth.

Not the right era, but I can't help but choose this out of all the other movies set there.

A redesign of a character I came up with when I was ~4 years old; the parts I recall were "hair made of numbers" and "one giant leg to bounce around Saturn's rings on". Its homeworld (also Nada's) is based on a child's imaginary version of outer space, where this kind of thing happens regularly.

A pencil sketch I'll clean up later. Down in the Silver Lining's engine room, BJ and Cris poke gentle fun at Zika, who's the only one down there with jut two arms. It's just teasing for now, but she's married to the six-legged Śina and they've got a doctor on board who's capable of the procedure.

Playing around with a puzzle idea here. Every gem represents a number from 1 through 9, and the same gem is always the same number. Every number is here at least once. The equations run across rows and down columns. I have two questions:
* Can you find the answer?
* Is this fun?
* Can you find the answer?
* Is this fun?

I'm not sure what the point of doing this was, but it was fun and I'll add more to it over time as I decide on which cast members to throw in. There are a lot of them; this just might be a good way to keep track.

Happy 50th birthday to Blit Bitkin! In reality it's the 50th anniversary of what he's named after (mastodon.sdf.org/@fvzappa/115...), but honestly he's had a full enough life that it makes some sense that he's that old himself. This isn't his original body, which confuses things a bit, of course.
