trying to get people to watch iron lung feels like i'm holding out a big bucket of blood and asking people to blindly stick their hand in there and feel around. come on. it's not even that bad. just dunk your hand right in and hold it there for 2 hours
The Bearded Vulture is the only known animal whose diet is almost exclusively bone.
The bone-eating giant bird which coats itself minerals like copper to get its rusty hue for unknown cosmetic reasons, most likely to show dominance. The brighter the hue, the more dominant the male.
They probably need the copper because its anti-bacterial properties. useful if you’re a carrion eater.
The bird has a 9 ft wingspan.
Bearded Vultures provide an indispensable service to the ecosystem, checking the spread of disease by consuming corpses. But the bearded’s diet is 95 percent bone. It can wait for the other scavengers to strip the body clean, then stroll in at its leisure to take its fill.
Okay I mostly made this for me to keep things straight, but I have had a few people ask specific questions about the character designs (namely Adrian since there's no one most popular design for them!). I'm not a great artist but! I am a canva girly :)
Without further ado, Rootbound character palettes and style notes!
I also have notes on what Adrian and Rocky look like if that's something that interests people! (idk if this even interests people, but I was making it so thought I'd share hehe)
If you are interested in drawing fanart, I will LITERALLY sob in the best way!! i promise no need to ask first :) just ask that you tag me!!
[IMAGE 1 ID: Page 1 of a 4-page Project Hail Mary comic. The entire comic features lyrics from the song “I Won’t Quit on You” by Hayley Williams. This page has 3 panels. Panel 1 shows Grace in his red EVA suit, floating in space. There’s a safety tether attached to him. Panel 2 shows Grace with his face in his hands, after he finds out that he’s being sent into space. Panel 3 is a view of the beach on Erid. The lyrics “lonely astronaut / it’s gonna cost / but you just can’t beat that view” are scattered all over the page. The page is mostly grayscale except for the bright red of Grace’s suit. The safety tether from Panel 1 extends into a long red thread that goes down to the bottom of the page, connecting to Page 2. END ID]
[IMAGE 2 ID: Page 2 of the comic. It has 3 panels. Panel 1 is Grace before he wakes up from his coma, the zipper of his bodysuit partially open to show half his face. Panel 2 is Grace’s hand on the ship’s window, showing outer space. Panel 3 is Rocky’s claws holding onto the small xenonite Grace figure. The lyrics are “wasted like a god / power off / wake up somewhere new / now I’m an alien to you.” The page is mostly grayscale except for the bright red of Grace’s overall in Panel 2. The red thread from Page 1 continues in this page, and connects to Page 3. END ID]
[IMAGE 3 ID: Page 3 of the comic. It has 3 panels. Panel 1 shows the Hail Mary in Adrian’s atmosphere. Panel 2 is Grace’s face smashed against the screen on the control panel, bleeding from the impact. Panel 3 is Rocky emitting black smoke, from when he’s trying to save Grace. The black smoke goes beyond the panel, giving a suffocating feeling. The lyrics are “come hell or heaven / angels or devils / I won’t move.” The page is mostly grayscale except for the bright red of Grace’s blood and suit in Panel 2, and the red background of Panel 3. The red thread from Page 2 continues in this page and loops twice, and connects to Page 4. END ID]
[IMAGE 4 ID: Page 4 of the comic, which has only one panel. It shows Grace and Rocky after the Adrian mission. Rocky is back in his xenonite ball, with Grace smiling at him. Their hands/claws meet where they’re pressed against the xenonite ball. The lyrics are “and I don’t care what happens after / I won’t quit on you.” The red thread from Page 3 continues in this page and wraps around the panel, and ends at a red star at the bottom. The page is grayscale except for the thread. END ID]
Like there is a difference between "My trauma creates impulsive urges and has changed my instinctive reactions to be irrational, I need to relearn shit." vs "I'm traumatized so I Can't Help It and you're not allowed to expect better of me"
