My copy of the HS calendar arrived today, which makes me think it’s okay to post the work I did for the calendar! :3
I actually got called in last minute to replace someone who couldn’t finish for some reason, so I did not have a lot of time to do it. When I had almost finished, however, I realized that I only featured one of the bards with it, and since they’re the least popular characters in homestuck, I don’t think their fans usually get any sort of official artwork, so I decided to draw something to feature them all instead.
I went with something silly and goofy, because it fit them, and did my best to make it seem like they were all using a purikura machine together (with varrying degrees of willingness) Really tried to over the top on the cutesiness which made it overly ridiculous, or that was my intention. It was definitely done under a time crunch but I’m nonetheless happy with it, and I hope every bard fan of homestuck is as well. <3
Additionally, I did some extra bits of art to go on the actual days of the calendar! Chibis for each birthday, a menorah, the candle thing for kwanzaa (it got cut so I didn’t post it, it wasn’t that exciting tbh) and some quadrant images at which point I was like ‘maybe I should just advise them of symbols for some of the dates instead of drawing as much as I can in a week’ and so I did.
I would like to point out that the menorah has a candle to represent each kid, and that the base is colored based on whether they’re derse or prospit.
I actually put a lot of thought into a lot of the little details of them and I’m really proud of the chibis and stuff. <3 I hope everyone enjoys them, and the calendar in general!
I’ve got some other project work I need to get to posting and havent’ yet, but for now, happy new year everyone!
Welcome to 2021.
