Part 1/5

Other pages are under the cut!

This is a few months old. The more time I wait before posting this, the more I hate this project (I even considered not posting at all, but i spend to many hours on this+I hyped friends about this comic sooo...)

I really hope I won't loose my motivation to draw the next parts.

[nishachenjiwu]

I've made a lot of Outer Wilds fanart over the past few months, and I'll share them bit by bit<3

This post only contains base game spoilers,but I'll post DLC spoiler content soon!

For the hatchinglung ask game, asking 26 and 34!

Heeeee hi thank you for the ask!

26) Why did your hatchling join OWV?

Sinter joined OWV because they had always been inspired by Feldspar. The way Feldspar talked about the solar system and the sense of mystery they chose to see the world with made Sinter want to go out there themself. And, of course, when they and Hal started to be able to translate Nomai, Sinter wanted to be the first one to learn everything unknown about the Nomai.

As for Fior, they joined after Feldspar had disappeared because they wanted to be able to find them (mostly because they care a lot for Gossan and wants to give them closure).

34) Which lost loved-one is the hardest for your hatchling to process?

Ohhhhh well I was going to say Sinter hasn't really lost anyone other than Feldspar, but only a few years after the time loop they do lose someone extremely close to them, who essentially taught them everything they knew...

As for Fior, it was Feldspar. They were a little obsessed with finding them and wellllll did make it their entire life goal to find out what happened to them. But of course, Feldspar was never dead, and has apparently been living a completely other life away from everyone else for the last 7 years. I'm sure this won't cause any dramatic changes in Fior's entire life.

Hatchling ask game here!

attack 1, sinter and cantalops for @snoozie-snooze ::]]]

[raddest-laddest]

i will not allow this tragedy to come to pass. I wish to see more of your women pretty please

HOWLS AT THE MOON… thank yuo….. sniff…

so this is harriet, jasper, grayson and tate

four friends, four breakfast addicts, four people who lowk kinda grew more and more different from each other as they got older. how okay that is depends on which one you ask

they used to gallivant around town, now 3/4ths of them are too busy most days. fixing cars and leaky faucets and. saving cats from trees and whatnot.

also important are dolly, esther, mckenna, charlie, and gabby-joy!!

they’re our upbeat waitress, local chicken lady, grease monkey niece, down-to-earth friend, and tree-hugging artist who’s far too whimsical for this world and its rules. they got their own things going

go my scribbles

EHEHE

[solanumwarrior]

The fact that Kelsey Beachum (OW lead writer) said in an interview that "we kinda kept forgetting about Esker during development" and that's the whole reason why everybody forgets about them in canon too has been haunting me ever since i heard it. So obviously i had to make a few doodles of them

[snoozie-snooze]

yellooo for either or both of your characters i give you 14, 35, and 42 ::]]]

Thank you for the ask!!! I'll do both of my sillies.

14) What is your hatchling's stance on sap wine? Why?

Sinter can't stomach it, so they hate it and therefore thinks it's stupid. Porphy would tease them over it. Fior definitely can and probably likes it. I am fully imagining Fior at some sci-fi bar being super dramatic and drinking after ugghhh another failed attempt at controlling the Bramble.

35) Did your hatchling ever consider trying to add someone else to the time loop? If so, who?

Sinter would have probably thought to bring Feldspar into the loop so they could join in on the dangerous shenanigans without the consequence of death, though with that sort of ability Feldspar might be too powerful. Sinter would have also considered bringing in Riebeck so they would have nothing to fear when exploring Brittle Hollow and the Hanging City, but decided against it because Riebeck would probably (definitely) hate it. Fior's not in a time loop unfortunately (fortunately?).

42) In a normal game setting, which ending does your hatchling get?

Okay well I mean realistically Sinter's breaking space time, because that's what I did when I was playing. I did it through removing the warp cores at the High Energh Lab, but Sinter would probably jump into the black hole in the Ash Twin Project just to see what would happen. But they are the hatchling for my post-nova, and in the silly fix-it universe they'd make it to the Eye.

As for Fior, if entering Dark Bramble and popping out into a different solar system was an option it'd be that.

what if..... BUGSNAX IN OUTERWILDS?!?!?!

[melonpie105]

[northwindow]

when i was reading the book entangled life which is about fungi and the author merlin sheldrake said that once he got his first author copies he was going to dampen the pages and use them to grow oyster mushrooms and yeast and then use the yeast to brew beer and then drink the beer with the mushrooms to complete the cycle of fungal knowledge. i was like really and truly this guy gets it

[im-not-trash-im-compost]

he ate his own words.

But really and truly. The cycle is not complete until he dies.

[life-on-the-spectrum]

I’m not sure how or why, but this is goth as FUCK. 

[busket]

his brother cosmo is a musician and made a theme song for it and god I wish it was longer because it slaps

[ospreyonthemoon]

His brother cosmo's music is cool as fuck tbh. The sounds in that song? Made by running electrodes through mushrooms. He has songs where every single sound comes from the ocean- the sound of coral reefs growing, of otters, of icebergs. He has songs about pelicans. He's a fun musician!

[prokopetz]

I know that you mean the "bloop" sounds in the backing track were made by running electricity through a mushroom, but I'm fascinated by the implication that he ran electricity through a mushroom and those vocals are what came out.

man you know the sheldrake household must've been wild with these two growing up
