Hey I'm Duck! (it's a nickname) I use they/them and ey/em pronouns, no preference but it does make me happy when people use the neos. I'm a big fan of all things sci-fi, surrealism, western, and supernatural. My biggest passion is writing, but I also like to draw, paint, and embroider!
This is my art/writing/oc/kinda just generally creative side-projects blog, stuff I feel like keeping separate from my main. If you do want to follow my main, it's @duck-in-a-spaceship (i have a theme going). I mostly post fandom stuff over there, but also just whatever else I feel like.
My main project right now is a worldbuilding thing called Deslotair! Just wrapped up the main character introductions
This will get more link-filled as we go on and I want to compile things, but right now it's gonna be pretty empty!
#reblog for reblogs
#planet deslotair for that project
Trigger warning will be tagged with "tw ___" I'll cover the obvious ones, but let me know if you need something tagged!

My webcomic FACING THE SUN has a new update
Read on my website | Read on WEBTOON
Rough background stuff for Deslocar. At its heart, this story is a western, so of course we've got to have a good old fashioned saloon. A lot of things might happen here, meetings, bar fights, drinking away your troubles. With Glass's spear and an upside-down cup, this was meant to harken back to Glass's and Sprocket's first meeting, at the start of the scavengers.

Oh my gosh, I love this so much!!!! Glass's concept and design is one of my favorites, so it's so cool to see how other people draw em! You did such a good job and I love the sandy background! Soooo very fitting.
Thank you!
Drew this for my friend @duck-in-the-universe birthday
This is eir character Glass, from eir story
Okay then! Bumblebee!
Are you better at action, descriptions, or dialogue?
-g
Oh man descriptions all day everyday. They're so fun, and there's so much room for all that delicious symbolism and metaphor and pretty word choice.
Dialogue is also chill. Action is so goddamn hard, it always feels like a puzzle to find the right pacing and balance and word choice and interesting shit happening in a way that makes sense?? I know I can pull it off, but it requires a lot more thought than just letting descriptions or conversation flow.
Happy birthday to @glacierruler!!! I hope you have a great day, and enjoy the art :)
This is one of storm's ocs, Fig, who I love very dearly and was a blast to draw! You can find their character info here

"I wouldn't say I hope for the crashes. They simply happen, whether we're there to harvest the parts or leave them to rust in the sands. Might as well make something good out of it."
An old mining bot gone rogue, Sprocket (he/him) is now the defacto leader of our little group of scavengers.
Some info:
Was originally scavenging on his own, but started the group when he picked up Glass (another member)
Bounced around in different jobs as he found a spot to settle down on Deslocar after his mining days, the most important of these being his bandit and mechanic days
He still isn't quite settled down now, but there's certain towns and cities he floats between a lot
Very much an engineer, knows his way around all sorts of machines and is great at fixing stuff, including himself
Has made a lot of adjustments and modifications over the years
accidental dad friend
Freaks out HARD when anyone gets hurt, and has a habit of offering the humans water when they complain about literally anything because like??? that's what people need right?????
Not super a fan of violence, but he does what's necessary. Tries his best to keep the crew out of shit, when he can, especially after it's not just him and Glass
The tubes running outside of his body help maintain his temperature- robots run on a liquid power source and it gets hot
Works like rabbit ears yknow?
His eyes emit a light glow, it's hard to see in the daytime but very noticeable at night, some say to an unnerving degree
He has slats above and below his eyes that he can use to emote
Talks through the speaker on his face, but also knows sign language and can flash his eyes to speak in a kind of morse code
He taught it to Glass a while back, and they use it to communicate sometimes, either when its convenient to be able to talk without talking or signing, when they dont want anyone else to understand them, or when Sprocket just feels like it
