Incredibly dumb doodles on what would happen if Sprocket and Alonze met @glacierruler's oc, Fig
Whereas Sprocket and Alonze live in a world where bots are fully realized beings that have to fight to be recognized in society,,, Fig's world is still cruising with boston dynamics style military drones. Shenanigans ensue.
Robot biped/bipod vehicles I drew.
When you post stuff for your story, can you tag me in it!!! It seems so exciting and I don't want to miss a thing!
-g
Yeah of course! Thanks for the reblogs today lol, that was really nice to see!
Also while I'm here, might as well answer your question from the tags earlier: Yes the Glass post is watercolor. All of the art I've posted here so far is lol, it's my main medium and my absolute fav <3
To anyone else that sees this as well, let me know if you want to be added to a taglist for my story stuff or whatever else!
if you're trying to get into the head of your story's antagonist, try writing an "Am I the Asshole" reddit post from their perspective, explaining their problems and their plans for solving them. Let the voice and logic come through.
"Leaving Deslocar? What, the whole fucking planet? Ha, yeah, as if. Listen, this place'll chew ya up and spit ya out, sure, but I wouldn't leave if you were givin' out first class tickets to the stars."
Alonze (he/she/they), a former bandit, now fresh out of jail, with nowhere else to go.
Info:
Was the last to join the scavenging group, and acts as hired guns basically, protecting the group from rivals and bandits
Desmona (one of the younger members of the crew) didn't like her at first because she can be kind of... a lot
And since Desmona didn't like him, Glass didn't either
Also by the time Alonze joins, he's the only one that doesn't know sign and therefore can't communicate with Glass, which doesn't help their relationship
Eventually they both warm up to her
Used to know Sprocket, which is how they nail the bodyguard job so easily
The two of them used to be part of a crew of bandits a while back, but after Sprocket- well after Alonze got arrested, it was a while before they saw each other again
She used to have two of those old colt-inspired pistols, but Sprocket was only able to hang onto one for her
Shoot first, ask questions later kinda gal
They're very quick to anger, and very impulsive
This makes him good at thinking on his feet, and good in high-pressure situations, but not very good at making a plan and carrying it through
This drives Sprocket insane
An excellent shot, cares very deeply for their weapons
Cares deeply for a lot of things, really
He's very passionate, and opinionated, has a stance on anything and everything and will die on any hill
Apathy???? never heard of her
One of two characters i will put through the wringer out if love: P.M.U or Pim is the autopilot that was originally stopping every mission they went on from going to shit. Now he’s kinda just chilling and wishing he could live on a fish farm with Mal
Still very much a work in progress, but long enough I figured I'd share. Filled with strange tunes, some western stuff, character songs, and some story themes if ya know where to look.

Hold my hand
Ooo baby it's a long way down
To the bottom of the river
Some scattered thoughts about Desmona's mask, why she wears it, and how she got it.
Taglist: @glacierruler
Currently going down my list of people to ask about OCs because they rbed my OCtober bingo card :3
Tell me of the OCs!
Deslotair gang! Deslotair is a sci-fi western story that follows a group of scavengers through the desert as they fight to survive. If you already know the team, here are my bingo board ideas! If not, read more
For the board!!
Involved in crime is good for Sprocket and Alonze, obviously.
Sign language and multilingual are good too, most of the gang has some knowledge of sign language, and both Glass and Sprocket know several other languages as well.
They all need a Fucking Break. Probably Sprocket the most.
Ghosts could be fun!!
For outfits: i need to draw Sprocket in Alonze's jacket don't ask me WHY i just have that image in my brain.
Fucked up character dynamics for suuure. What do Sprocket and Alonze have going on? Who knows? Canon relationship??? Maybe!
Desmona has a pet! We love Tak! Weird lizard dog!
queer. obviously.
Tragic antagonist DOES fit but we're not getting into all that lol
Outer space was MADE for me <3
Inventor is interesting. Sprocket is a mechanic but he doesn't typically invent things? Him and Glass invented a 'suit' for Desmona though.
Alonze would commit murder, so would Glass! Sprocket tries not to but it's probably happened. Occupational hazard. Desmona would rather die.
Sprocket - he/him, their leader. Used to be a mining bot, where he learned mechanic skills to take care of the other robots down there. He's since made it out of there and has been scavenging the longest. Knows a lot about machines and how to strip things for the highest quality parts. He's a fairly straight-laced guy, and absolute worry-wart trying to keep everyone alive.
Glass - ey/em, primarily a navigator. A glass bot, which are a type of robot naturally created from old scrap that becomes encased in glass. Ey was raised completely around glass bots and worked as a translator between them and humans, but it was a pretty shitty environment to be in. Ey is very curious about humans and is an excellent teacher, specifically of languages.
Desmona - she/her, the outcast. Desmona is a 17 year old girl that came in contact with vitrel, the unstable energy source of Deslotair, which became a part of her. She left home after the accident and met Sprocket and Glass soon after. She's very shy and withdrawn, generally more comfortable around bots or animals than humans. Very crafty, likes sewing and embroidery.
Alonze - he/they/she, the sharpshooter. Used to work with Sprocket in a bandit group, before being caught and arrested after a train robbery gone wrong. Spent his life moving around with his dad, who was a rancher, and deeply loves Deslotair. Very opinionated and hotheaded, but deeply loyal once she's decided she's on your side.
Sideblog for my personal projects, whether that's art, writing, oc stuff, inspo, or whatever! Yall can call me duck, i use they/them and ey/em pronouns Main blog: @duck-in-a-spaceship
