arlow rings in the new year in a very comfortable fashion.

and a ref for arch, coming back into his own after all these fellas split offa him.

and RJ!

and some putty stuff.

february 2024

clif experiences nuance and adjusts accordingly.

archie helps.

a more comprehensive sheet of arlow! this was before the species for Putty had a proper name. "human analagous" is still certainly true.

RJ plushes out.

march 2024

more arch feeling himself out.

then this thing! just stream of consciousness whatsit. now i think it looks like a cavern in metroid zero mission or somethin. do you see it too? something about that particular shade of blue for me.

more archie goofs.

irving floorsittin.

clay and cece! the two halves that make up clif. sort of thing that happens to a guy that got stuck in a compy. his body no longer exists, and has been dead for a hot minute. he and cece still interact with each other in the abstract space of their noggin.

ouch!

and then clarice wakes up.

april 2024

study of an ugly little lamp we've got in the corner. it does its job, that's all it needs to do! (if you can afford to buy another lamp go fuck yourself)

may 2024

not much this month! just two ref sheets. first mabel...

then Joybot.

june 2024

a fun experiment in building screentones organically in procreate (using C+M+Y tone brushes). i don't tend to find those more vore-tinted micro/macro aspects very interesting, but my wife asked for "something tongue-centric", and this made the most sense to me. every time i look at it, though, i think about this.

a second screentone experiment. featuring a cameo from a favorite 1950 LP by hoffman. guy knew his way around a theremin!

gene, featuring unseen chair furgonomics. you work it out, i did my part.

irving.

i got my tonsils out this month! it sucked. it hurt bad. improved my life a good deal though.

tiny acrylic RJ. it's still on my desk as of 2026.

clay comforts arch.

meanwhile, something that is like adelaide, but is not adelaide.

finally, JB and arlow discuss state of the world. more appropriately, JB theorizes re: inevitable balkanization, and arlow listens.

july 2024

clay and cece.

some kibbles.

and it looks like cece+clay arent so alone in that abstract space after all!

lastly, some irving.

august 2024

lab partners. clif sets up shop downstairs.

and adelaide's big day!

this was a quick cover made for mabel's personal playlist.

quick one-layer arch for funsies.

arch+clif getting along.

irv patches up JB.

gene and kibby chew on some stuff.

september 2024

clif holds JB.

irving's daughter, riley. that shit isn't hereditary. they just had the same stuff happen to them.

nerve and spinal damage began to manifest in new and demoralizing ways.

some stuff for putty. main antagonists. maybe ill say more about all this later, but christ, did allegory lose all meaning in record time or what? no wonder i gotta put this stuff away.

theyre very fun designs though, and i do love em. quick palette exploration of main crew + supporting for that project.

irene explorations.

arlow doodlin.

october 2024

more putty explorations.

happy halloween! this year irving goes as harry mason. arlow goes as james. he does have an ex-wife, but don't read into it.

following in their stead the rest of the crew gets festooned appropriately.

and, some spidery JB explorations for fun. i guess that's what all of this is for though. yay! 😀💖

november 2024

clif gets cunty!!!!!!!!!

and then i get couvid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄

JB bonds with conrad.

mabel shows solidarity with JB.

december 2024

some miscellaneous martians.

clay and JB take a nap.

some mabes and 1 clif.

laffy taffy huggin it out. this ended up being a precursor to somethin.

some miscellaneous maleon notes.
