Engineer types

Teen Esker and a tiny little Slate ::] I like to think the previous mayor had Esker hatchling sit Slate a lot because both of them were mechanically minded and like to make things... Also Slate didn't really get along with anyone else.

falls into a puddle of mud happy birthday outer wilds ::D

[alaskaartz]

Hello hello!!!! I really. Like your art. For the ask games, the stations perhaps? (Sun Station n White Hole Station) ::3

Hi! AA THANK YOU rolls around on the ground

White Hole Station - Favorite song(s) from the OST? (base game + DLC!)

YES THIS QUESTION!! Okay okay. Campfire song, End of the wilds, Ancient glade. I have Campfire song on repeat a lot haha! And, End of the wilds has a special place in my heart because it was my first ever impression of Outer Wilds. Ancient Glade always without fail makes me cry not gonna lie- Space, the river, and the museum get honorable mentions tho!

Sun Station - Favorite mystery/curiosity to solve?

HMMM!! Finding Feldspar? I like Feldspar ::] (related to that, I have become concerningly good at getting to feldspar with only half thrusters working... uhm.)

thanks for the ask! <3

[alaskaartz]

HI HI HI HI!! 👋👋👋 YOUR ART IS SUPER COOL AND AWESOME!!!

for the ask game, Attlerock and Giant's Deep!

(also if I already sent you an ask, just ignore one of them lol. I cannot for the life of me remember)

AAHGUGGUU THANK YOU SNIFFLES also don't worry, I don't mind if people ask me things multiple times ::D

The Attlerock - Any puzzles you got stuck on?

Uhmm. How to navigate the quantum moon- a friend of mine had to hold my hand and walk me through that- LMAO

Giant's Deep - If you were one of the travelers, what instrument would you play?

Oh good question! I don't play instruments really but It'd be cool if hearthian me could have a guitar.. Given that harmonica is taken already- Seriously a harmonica is all I have and semi know how to play (badly)

thanks for the ask!!

[alaskaartz]

hi!

a) love your art so dearly your designs/style are peak :D

b) ash twin, quantum moon, interloper, and dark bramble for the ask game?

Hello! AWH THANK YOU SO MUCH! sniffles

Ash Twin - Worst death you put your Hatchling through? (funniest, most absurd, etc)

Ahhh Jeez. Uhm, ee. Probably getting half the ship torn off then impaled by a tree and then it exploding a few seconds later? I feel like I've had worse deaths than that but that's definitely my most memorable death because of all events happening within 30 seconds of each other

Quantum Moon - How did you react to quantum mechanics being part of the gameplay? (did it freak you out, did you find it interesting?) *Alternatively, how did you react to/feel about the QM itself?

It did freak me out! It got to the point where I was avoiding quantum things, my friend basically had to hold my hand while I did the QM stuff because I was convinced something was gonna jump out at me- Also with the lake bed cave I was getting super turned around and said friend gave me a hint by saying "quantum bullshit" and I figured it out because of that

The Interloper - Which discovery did you find the most impactful?

Yeesh, either The Ash Twin Project or The Vessel, both for their own reasons. The ATP was just so fascinating to me and seeing the masks was super cool. The vessel, I was still amped up from dodging anglerfish so SOB

Dark Bramble - Did you ever "Feldspar" anything? (ex: slingshot around the black hole as a shortcut, brute force GD's current, etc)

ohhh absolutely. notable one is dlc stuff so I'll put it below cuz BUT ANYWAY There have been multiple times I have crashed into a planet so hard that my ship ejected me (once the cockpit went away WITHOUT me!!) but instead of doing anything else I end up landing on the planet with my jetpack without taking any damage

Aside from that, I have successfully cheated the owlk at their own game in every single section of the DLC

[alaskaartz]

Timber hearth

Timber Hearth - Favorite Hearthian AND/OR Nomai? (and why they're your favorite)

Ohohoho oh ok-

Favorite hearthians! Hatchy (player character in general), Gossan, Porphy, Feldspar- in that order- I love the player character a lot, probably because I relate to them. Gossan and Porphy both oddly have a calming presence, not sure how or why but yeah. Feldspar... Listen I love a good off the rails insane probably drank 5 energy drinks in the past hour type person and that's the vibe I get from Felds' also they're freaking hilarious XD

Favorite Nomai, Pye- She's like a middle aged mad scientist to me and I love her for that

[laniakeas-horizon]

Recently I've seen a few people in the fandom say it's intimidating or nerve wracking to interact with the wider community, which prevents them from ever doing so or just feeling as though they don't have a place, so as a solution I offer;

An OW themed ask game !

Take the plunge and send an ask to someone you'd like to know more about or simply interact with more as exposure therapy! If you're scared, do it scared; find your place in the community! We (usually) don't bite ::)

The Sun - How did you first get into Outer Wilds? The Stranger - Which out of the three main species do you want to/think you'd be? Sun Station - Favorite mystery/curiosity to solve? Ash Twin - Worst death you put your Hatchling through? (funniest, most absurd, etc) Ember Twin - Favorite planet to explore Vs. Least favorite? Timber Hearth - Favorite Hearthian AND/OR Nomai? (and why they're your favorite) The Attlerock - Any puzzles you got stuck on? Brittle Hollow - Any quote(s) that stuck with you long after finishing the game? Hollow's Lantern - How many achievements do you have? (Bonus: were any of them accidental?) Giant's Deep - If you were one of the travelers, what instrument would you play? Quantum Moon - How did you react to quantum mechanics being part of the gameplay? (did it freak you out, did you find it interesting?) *Alternatively, how did you react to/feel about the QM itself? Dark Bramble - Did you ever "Feldspar" anything? (ex: slingshot around the black hole as a shortcut, brute force GD's current, etc) White Hole Station - Favorite song(s) from the OST? (base game + DLC!) The Interloper - Which discovery did you find the most impactful? The Eye - How did you interpret the ending?

Obviously, anyone can play, though I will tag a few folks that follow me! (Feel free to participate or not, no pressure <3) @soluneinouterspace @gabbrofan27 @dekkiidan @prism-j

Do you even care?

Hatchy has some bottled up frustration towards Slate. ::[ This was interesting to think about because I feel like Slate's way of showing that they care about people is fixing things for them. However, Slate is always, to a fault, very proud of their work and doesn't want to admit when something they made doesn't work. So yeah, reasonable frustration on Hatchy's end I think

anyway yay really happy to get back to drawing and making comics! ::D

[alaskaartz]

Travelers line up! Close ups below ::D

It was fun to finally draw everyone's designs ::]

[alaskaartz]

I was thinking, what do you think the hearthian language would sound like to us humans?

[alaskaartz]

Commission for @stardusttshowers ! Thank you!

Youngest Pilot Ever

'Doodle' page I really liked ::]

Honestly this was kinda inspired by things happening on my tomodachi life island but it gave me the perfect excuse to draw Hatchy post loops with their parents so yay ::D
