Three years of these comic covers, and I finally have enough of them to put into a 3x3 grid.

Thank you to everyone who either inspired me enough to draw these in the first place, or who commissioned one!

To everyone who’s having an outdated armour design thrown at them because of this: sorry not sorry

It’s… honestly really fun to me to see how my approach to doing these has changed (namely, the great font swap of 2024.

I can see with Laz and Harby I had like, a cool drop shadow vibe that I IMMEDIATELY ditched in favour of… not doing those.

Argos is still my favourite, mostly drawn waiting at bag drop in a Norwegian airport (Heartbeak was done on the same day, on the actual plane)

Fractal crown had the worst palette to work with (it’s so hard to stop yellow from going orange), and I think Oroborus came together with the least struggles.

Oh and I do have wips for Matty n Mel I’m just. Not happy with them so if they ever see the light of day it will be in full redraw form

Matty’s is actually fully rendered I just think the post is stiff and I don’t like it

this new polyship honestly had introduced me to even more amazing artists and writers and ngl i think i might keep drawing this silly ship because it truly became one of my fav ships to draw...!!!

mortumstep is a horror story from both perspectives and i would love to see that addressed more

[sidesteppostinghours]

@idlenight ok so like. imagine you're dr mortum and you've spent most of your mad scientist career putting on a show of professionalism, eccentricity, and devastating intelligence. and like you do flirt, but nobody will ever get past dr mortum because you will never be stupid enough to show them mirlene/merle abelard again. and then you finally find someone, the first person in Years, in fact, who slipped past your defenses despite all your paranoia and walls and loved you for the person behind the mask, because they are just like you: funny, and charming, and a little bit too smart and a little bit too cynical, and just as human as you are when they hang up their masks. and you know it will hurt. you know it will hurt, because they warn you about it. because you warn them about it. you know it will hurt because they are just like you: too charming, too smart, too many things to hide and too many secrets to keep. but you can't leave them behind, can't stop yourself from going down this road you've been on before.

and you spiral into inevitability. that the whole relationship will fall apart, because you've both built this fragile little life in a house of cards that would topple over the minute one of you told the truth, and it finally came crashing down. because they told you everything. that they stole the body, the name, the mind, all to get close to you and act out this charade for their own gain. you had no say in this. no control over who you loved, and you didn't even realize you loved a lie. and you could not have been prepared how much it hurt, even if you knew nothing about this was true. you will forever be haunted by a person who was almost real.

okay cool now imagine you're sidestep. you stepped into a life of villainy and crossed lines you never would've before and have to keep every secret under the goddamn sun just to interact like a barely functional human being. so you steal a name, a body, a mind, to get your work done because fuck it, you've done worse. you Need this. you meet the One person you should never ever let your guard down around, because scientists are your most dangerous threat. and you see the things that make them dangerous. the way their eyes light up at the sign of something interesting. the clinical passivity they talk about you and others like you. the way they are willing to put aside humanity for the sake of curiousity (and you are less than human— what would they do if they ever found that out?). but they are so painfully human when the walls come down, as awkward as you and figuring this out the same way you are. and in the body you are in you can almost convince yourself you're human too. maybe you can partake in this lie you're creating if both of you are aware you're creating it together.

ok, but like. you can't, though. you know what happens when you get too close to people. it will rip you from the inside out because you were never made to be people. your puppet is, but it's still you in the mind even if you're wearing human skin. it doesn't matter how much you try to warn them or how often they come back despite your warnings. who you are, fundamentally, is a lie, and the minute you tell them them the truth they will finally understand. you gave them your life on a silver platter because you loved them, because they almost managed to convince you you were real. you will always be haunted by the fact you are not.

[sidesteppostinghours]

would like to add after consideration that this absolutely also applies to platonic mortumstep. like i Was writing this with romantic mortumstep in mind but then i thought too hard about cyrus and mortum woth this and now i'm never going to be normal again.
