Jupiter On December 7, 2024 // Shun-Chia Yang

Fun fact originally Sprocket was going to have a head and torso with 360 range of motion but I scrapped that idea because it was a pain to draw and didn't really make sense with all his external wiring. On the plus side it means sometimes he needs help with maintenance now.

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!

Dr. Wade Urbanczyk

new oc, leader of some sort of prosthetics development department for a catastrophe lab. I think he stuffs the consciousnesses of his dying coworkers into digital appliances in the hopes of keeping them alive til better days come along… But maybe he should just let them die.

kinda obsessed w/ him actually

The more I write Deslotair stuff, the more I inevitably have to figure out things like themes. Robot media is cool to me in large part because it can get into some really cool themes, and how really every story about robots is still a story about humanity, in some way. Really every story is about humanity, in some way.

And when writing robots, the most obvious question to ask is "What makes us human? When you strip so much away, is what remains a person?" Which is a GOOD question that so many people have done VERY good things with, but I think the main question I would like to answer is:

"In a world where robots exist in such a capacity, why is humanity still the deciding factor?"

Why are we asking the initial question? Who stands to gain from drawing the lines in the sand? And what does that say about society today, about who gets dehumanized and who gets to stay? What happens to them?!

OOO fun!

Planet Deslotair is a sci-fi western story I've been working on. It takes place on a mostly desert planet, covered in craters with nearly never-ending storms raging in the upper atmosphere. The craters crack the ground open to bring forth vitrel, a liquid power source that nearly everything on Deslotair runs on. The storms, meanwhile, make the planet a treacherous place to travel to and from, and many ships crash instead of successfully making the journey.

Scavengers, those who visit the ships and pick apart their corpses, provide a valuable service as they fight over the remains.

The story follows four main characters:

There's Sprocket, an ex-mining robot and mechanic who leads them. Glass, a glass bot that left eir cult-like upbringing to wander the sands. Desmona, a teenage girl caught in a vitrel harvesting accident that left her filled with wild, uncontrollable energy. And Alonze, an ex-bandit who just got out of jail, and is Sprocket's ex. (Kinda. It's complicated.)

It's very found family, just following the adventures of this group as they try to work together and protect each other. Very heavy lean into western aesthetics while bringing in a lot of sci fi. Sort of retro futurism at times? Asks a lot of questions about robots and outcasts and what it really means to be human.

I've been reworking the plot a bunch lately, so it's hard to say much more, but I have a lot of worldbuilding and character development on my hands!

ALRIGHT

I want to talk about my podcast, but my brain's being a bit rude today.

So we're going to a project share, to anyone who sees this feel free to participate.

This share can be about ANY projects, fanfic, fanart, or original that you want to just yap yap yap about.

Here's how it works: You reblog the post and talk about your project you're working on/thinking about/want to do/etc...

Then, you go up the reblog chain and find a project you're interested, and SEND ASKS to the person who made the info about the project!

I'll start: I'm writing a podcast, and it's about Glacie, and their coworkers, who work at the Meeting Point. The Meeting Point is a restaurant/shop located near the Mad Forest. Coming back from a pretty long break, due to their own unreality problems popping up, Glacie is warned that the forest grows hungry. After some incidents, Glacie's hallucinations start getting real bad, and they eventually venture forth into the Mad Forest.
