I was complaining to @mintytrashcannot about running out of ways to draw limbless orbs and she just busted out these absolutely wonderful "anthro" designs out of nowhere cause she's the best. I was up super late that night doodling them and haven't stopped thinking abt them
Like WHALE SPHERIUS?? HELLO??? 🥺🥺💞💖💞 I think she did it better than me but hopefully u see the vision. I made him an outfit just so he feels included he's prob gonna stay nakey so he can go Bakugon mode
Finally got all the way through the Sphereland movie, didn't find it as bad this time around probably because Minty was keeping me company and she makes everything better
That being said I really think it would have benefited from more characterization! It sounded like Hex was dealing with a LOT of feelings but it wasn't really unpacked; I think she could use a pep talk from an oldie to soothe some of that classic young adult neuroticism (but perhaps I'm projecting just a little)
Another big ol' Flatland sketch dump! Explanations beneath the cut
1-2: movie/film style swap! I believe this was @random1089's idea, and then @mossy-the-thing named them S. Sphere and Ater which I love. It was really dang hard designing Ater, Spherius has too kind a face for somebody like A. Sphere so I needed to change basically everything lmfao. Thought it'd be cool to give him a more fiery sun motif since Spherius is kind of a gentle star, but because there are no other Spacelanders in that movie I had v little to work off of. As for S. Sphere, I debated the glowy eyes but could so clearly envision it as a choice by an amateur 3D modeller with no aesthetic sense, like it's lowk OG Roblox core
3: just a funny lil interaction of Atticus and Angelus in the multiverse scenario. I think it would rlly bring out the worst of all of them tbh
4-5: mostly just having fun thinking about Spaceland ergonomics. Their furniture must be wild
6: that evening's Magma activity was drawing extra cunty A Spheres yk the usual
7: brainstorming Spacelanders in my style!
8: Film A Square's incredibly lame fantasy
9: a bonus B Square design to go with my recent A Square redesign
10-11: more post-war AU stuff, building off of @cosmomatic awesome scenario where these four are just kinda stuck together now which goes so hard. I posted this on my side-blog but lowk love it too much, go check out that post for more context and also Charlie's fantastic art

I've almost finished moving! We're just waiting on the internet router's replacement cable which has like quite literally taken all month cause Rogers sucks. I've got my space mostly set up and am really looking forward to drawing in it! Speaking of which I've switched back to CSP because Krita's painting engine is just a little bit shitty, which sucks because I preferred basically everything else about it, but my art was def getting worse bc of it so it had to go </3 I miss her.....🥀🥀
Almost forgot lol Magma dump two !! Movie and novel stuff. Guide under the cut
2. It was bugging me that lipstick is the Movie universe's gender dimorphism so everyone gets it now
3. My take on the Sphereland novel's Hex and Puncto! Still adore the transfem Hex headcanon a lot
7. I love love love love Archimedean solids I love them so much! Here's a truncated tetrahedron, truncated cube, truncated cuboctahedron, and truncated dodecahedron. I'm probably going to keep the t. cuboctahedron I like him a lot
8. Chromatistes! The Magma likes pairing him with circles so I hopped on board; I think it'd be funny if that one circle like fell in love with him after quitting politics to become an artist
10. It's genuinely kind of important to their story that I figure out how to make them cuddle. Took me way longer than it should have
12. Initial sketch for that lil comic I did! I started and then realized I wanted to make it much bigger
