Bonus Update - The Influencers, pt 2

Right Here

Sketches + Commentary: The Funeral

Okay so...The Funeral. Initially this chapter was called “A Funeral for a Universally Beloved Figure” but since that’s kind of the Joke aspect of Jane’s whole speech, we pared it down to be more simple.The last two updates were a little lighter, a little less ‘evil dictator brutally disciplines local teenager in front of a room full of spectators’, so welcome back. It’s Homestuck.PAN...

Commentary + Sketches: Diamonds, Dames, and Dads Pt. 2

Here we go again at Midnight City. My darkhorse favorite setting in all of the MSPAdventures canon. In fact, as much as I love everything that’s going on in HS^2 (a very uncontroversial comic) this is probably my favorite storyline we’ve got going. For obvious reasons, probably. I’m not sure if I honestly have anything too new or groundbreaking to report. I love cheesy bullshit noir, and one...

Chapter 13: The Funeral

Chapter 13

Commentary + Sketches: Chapter 12

Here we are with these guys. You like these guys, yeah? Well, if you don't, too bad. They're in love so fucking deal with it.Just kidding, who doesn't love them? Some people, I guess, because we are all humans with our own interiorities and preferences and shit.Ok enough hitting every possible opinion about Davekat. Time to get INTO it.PANEL 1Dave's been internalizing a really comp...

Chapter 11 Sketches + Commentary

From the get go, we have this ship. A lot of hs^2 is like… very serious. I think thats cool because I don’t know how to do that. I am pretty good at writing goofy things though so my original goal for this chapter was to make it a little less serious. My favorite parts of homestuck were always when it made me laugh, or when it was just extremely silly. Where are the JOKES? I drew the original ...

Commentary + Sketches: 1 WOND3R WH4T TH3Y T4ST3 L1K3

H3R3 YOU GOA science fiction writer I really respect once told me that “the purpose of prose is to take an hour to examine a moment” and I think about that a lot. I think that at its most basic level, the beauty of prose is to let yourself linger on shit you really couldn’t in any other medium. In reality, someone drops an egg, and it takes maybe half a second to hit the ground and crack. Bu...

Commentary + Sketches: "How Goes the Eulogizing, Dear?"

P: For this commentary, I thought we'd try something a little different again, and so I'm really happy to welcome a member of our art team to give us some of his thoughts on the update!K: Hi everyone! I’m Kim Quach, the artist for chapter 9 of Homestuck^2 and also the character designer for Yiffany. I gotta say, Andrew was right when he said we were all going to love Yiffany. As soon as ...

Chapter 10: 1 WOND3R WH4T TH3Y T4ST3 L1K3

Commentary and Sketches: "The Influencers"

Oh it’s these guys again. You thought they were throwaway characters?!?? HA!Actually, so did I. If I’d thought I’d have used them again, I probably would have given them less obnoxious quirks. But hey, what’s the act of creation but accidentally getting attached to bullshit and running with it?Anyway, these guys all have lore hints in their names, and I could tell you what all of it is, or...

COMMENTARY: A Threat, Sensed

Hello, everybody. Writing in from my ivory tower high on the hill, offering you my sincerest wishes for your good health and continued toil toward building a better future. I know shit is rough, and it’s only going to get rougher. Am I talking about real life or am I talking about homestuck? At the end of the day, does it even matter anymore?Let’s talk about Dirk.PAGE 1Here we see Dirk engagin...

Sketches and Commentary: A Daughter Astray

So here we are. Another month of Homestuck draws to a close. But of course this wasn't just any old month of Homestuck, Oh Goodness No. April is the month where all the little children around the world feel a strange sensation on the breeze, and find themselves googling pictures of horses long into the night for a reason they cannot explain. While to T.S. Eliot it may be cruel, to a Homestuck ...

This update was shy. But now it's here. We have drawn it out from isolation with a secret pattern of clicks and whistles.

Homestuck^2's Second March Update Delayed to April 2

Homestuck fans,We're sorry to have to send this message. Like many of you, we've been impacted by the worldwide crisis caused both by the pandemic and the associated economic effects. Our team remains hard at work, but these past few weeks have been difficult. Unfortunately, we are unable to ensure that the March 31st update of Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon can release on time without jeopardi...

Sketches and Commentary: Diamonds, Dames, and Dads, Part 1

Page 1-2You guys ready for some noir shit? Some real greyscale nonsense with just a tinge of purple to give it some ambience? This is Midnight City, which means that it’s dark. And every other midnight pun that I came up with for the chapter and am not going to rehash here.It also always appears to be raining in Midnight City, but I don’t think that has to do anything with it being midnight.Pa...

I’m typing this to you from pandemic quarantine, which really isn’t any different than the usual quarantine being a writer puts you under.

Sketches and Commentary: Catnapped, Part Three

Alright, motherfuckers, strap in. Time for more of this ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.Catnapped is some of the most fun I’ve had while writing, because Jasprose is just so goddamn fun. Cats don’t plan, they live in the moment. She’s always existing in that moment of pushing a glass off the table.After expanding the canvas vertically in the main update this month, I wanted to go wide with this one. Just ...
