Can you believe that at first I didn’t like Dirk at all while reading HS?
I had a hard time with his ironic shit…

## What's the fanfic yu draw all this for

Some are inspired by the serie “to black mambo” by Callmearcturus
http://callmearcturus.tumblr.com/
Her fics are all amazingly well written, “the Eurydice suite” still is one of my favorite! I’ll have to draw some Davekat at some point, probably, I dunno…
Then I draw some Dirkjake inspired by City’s AU!

She explains better the AU on her tumblr!

## FIC: you can only take what you can carry to the edge of the sea (1/?)

callmearcturus:

> > Crocker Magitech is among the foremost developers of innovative magic and technology for the modern home, and the team of Crocker, Lalonde, and Strider are among the most important cogs in their clockwork machine. After a long dry spell without new projects to work on, Jane hits it big with a grand new discovery: a remote island out in the South Pacific that’s teeming with lost majyyks to rediscover.

> > What the team finds out there is far more than their next big break: a lost settlement, a forgotten god, strange arcane flora, and a friendly boy living in the lake. Not even the combined knowledge of the team can prepare them for their expedition to this strange, hidden island.

> > Magic, sex, and mayhem ensue.

> > (Arc: “I have no idea how to elevator pitch this story, the concept is so *weird*. HEY Y’ALL, THREE DISILLUSIONED FRIENDS GO TO SOUTHERN PACIFIC SEX ISLAND AND HAVE CONVOLUTED SEXY MAGICAL ADVENTURES.”
> > City: “Make that the exact line right there in the fic summary. Draw people in with what they didn’t know they wanted.”)

> Mega Explicit. Kink grab bag. Dirk/Jake, heavy focus on Dirk/Jane/Roxy friendship. Magic AU.

## Love, Faith, and Fantasy - Just what (and who) does Jake English want?

revolutionaryduelist:

> ## UPDATE: Sorry about the dissapointing news on 4/13 today. I imagine many fans won’t be in the mood to read this right now, but I thought it’d be a better way to spend the day than being dissapointed. So maybe you will. Either way, I put a lot of love into this. I hope it helps.

> I want to begin this post with a mea culpa.

> In the wake of the last post covering Jake’s awareness of events unfolding around him, I was lucky enough to receive feedback from a number of really great people. Among that feedback was the idea that I was kind of overstating things with regards to Jake’s intelligence to the opposite extreme.
> I feel that this is true! Not because I don’t think Jake is aware or that he was an actively getting Jane to lean one way in her answer–I still think that’s correct, and in fact I have more evidence to present in favor of it under the cut.
> But I worry in my zeal, I presented a skewed image of how I think about Jake–essentially, I was trying to correct what I perceive as the fandom problem of invalidating Jake’s intelligence completely and painting him as a moron. I think it is a fair criticism to say I overcorrected in that endeavor.

> I’m hoping that admitting that my choosing to tone down certain claims is a direct result of valid and insightful criticism will allow you to give me the benefit of the doubt, and make it easier for you believe I am being genuine in approaching this subject and interested in and willing to incorporate feedback where I find it logically consistent. This is important to me for reasons that will soon become obvious.
> That disclaimer out of the way, please click on the cut to see what I have to say.

> If you do, by the way: Thank you. It means a lot to me.

As always, mind-blowing!
Your analysis are amazing and fascinating!!

I’m sorry, I kept thinking about that quasi-merman-mudskipper from Callmearcturus’s fic and I had to sketch the thing…

10/04/2017 10:28:58 ¶ ●

I… never realized that Detective Pony Audiobook was a thing that actually existed… I’m dying.

To everyone who needs it, some happy dirkjake!

Thank you for all the sweet comments and messages guys!
This tumblr is barely a week old but I guess I wanted to draw homestuck fanart since last summer without letting me… do it?
Thanks to amazing artists here (to whom I never talked to, to be honest and just followed silently their works… I’m sorry it’s so weird…) I decided to make this side blog to… basically throw up my love and affection for the alpha kids.
___
Also, all god tier tests insist that I’m a heart player and I used to disagree so much with that because I have just too much difficulties with relationship but well… maybe??

10/04/2017 23:35:16 ¶ ●

## Classpect tests are always going to pale next to self-examination. A test cannot suss out the 'arc' of your personal story and where it should go. Only you can. I used to get a lot of "Seer of Life" and "Rogue of Mind" and other random shit, never the same combo twice. Eventually, I just knew what I would be. (That said, a LOT of fanpeople are Heart aspect, so that sounds legit, lol)

Yeah, one time I ended up “Muse of space” and I was… “isn’t it just a fucking legend title? Can someone be that??” and after that, “Heart, heart, heart”…
I think it also respond to the fact that I’m hypersensitive…
That said, prince of heart seems totally legit for you! You’re destroying us!

10/04/2017 23:47:44 ¶ ●

## Hi! your art is fantastic and im so glad you decided to start posting stuff and sharing it with us cus it is amazing. Might I ask what kind of brushes you use and what program? <3

Hi! Thank you for the compliment!
I guess I have a lot on my mind and drawing it helps me with it!
I use Photoshop and some of Kyle’s brushes (from the megapack set)

11/04/2017 10:18:17 ¶ ●

## Thank you so much for drawing dirkjake.... you made my day today, as well as yesterday, as well as days before yesterday which is to say alot

Rise from the dead, throw a happy Jake inspired by the last update of Callmearcturus’s fic because this scene is the cutest thing possible!

## could you give a tutorial on how you color because your colors are beautiful and i want to see how you do it

I probably have the messiest way to color because it’s honestly just flat colors with a restrain palette and had lights with an overlay layer at the end! (sometimes, I put the line in overlay too)

24/04/2017 16:12:06 ¶ ●

I still have a lot of fun trying to understand how his anatomy works with legs and tail! *You can imagine me as Jane discovering the island, this is me*

One day I’ll succeed!

People reblogging the frogboi -without knowing anything about Arc’s fic neither homestuck- makes me really happy!
I don’t even tag them as homestuck because we’re too far away from the first subject. Designing merfolks is really fun though!

25/04/2017 12:54:24 ¶ ●

To everyone here who follow/like/reblog/tag, you’re the best!
I’ll be away during a whole month and you’ll probably won’t hear from me during this time! I’ll be back!

25/04/2017 14:02:33 ¶ ●

That blog is just full of that frogboi, I’m so sorry…
