Finished this up tonight ^^ Rigel (Aster) belongs to @logicpng!! Yap and variant with more contrast under the cut >^< (The more contrast is probably more straining on the eyes; so please take caution if you want to look at it. I don't think it's straining enough to warrant a tw, but caution is advised.)

Ahhhhh, I've had to look away from it for a while before looking at it again and going "..this is done, right? Why haven't ya posted it yet? So here it is. I couldn't in good conscious get rid of the bubble effects because I definitely thought they fit, I just had to figure out how. Turns out; I just had to draw some accent bursts (like fireworks, cause it was the season for it where I'm from when I started it.) Also I tried to do a deeper shading than I normally do and I actually really loved the contrast. I feel more confident with this style of shading to do clothing shading in the future; I just really liked the overly almost "too smooth to be real"ness of the kimono. It doesn't look 100% right since I didn't actually use a reference until I was done coloring it; but I think it's okay. Also; here's the more contrast one! I think it's a little much and could be straining on the eyes? Maybe? It doesn't strain mine, but I am not everyone who exists.

i dunno if this has ever been asked before but how did Rigel and Vegas "first meeting" go like when they first split and became aware of each other what was it like? same thing when they first became Aldebaran?

this is going to be a long one lol. i meant to explore this in the Project Aster comic but that didn't really work out, so instead you get a whole infodump 🎉

In the beginning the fact of split went unnoticed, but the process of training forces them to learn how to give the control to each other without really understanding it.

just letting go, doing the task seemingly automatically, which does the intended job! but on the surface it would still seem like just something aster, singular, can do.

But then...

Over time a sense of "other" presence shows up. Subtle at first, but hard to ignore. As if another process is occupying the same space as the original one. At first it's just a feeling of something watching, then feelings begin to be exchanged, nudges on when to exchange control, hints on what to do, fully fledged thoughts.

Their meeting was a slow process. Eventually it's like the two have always been together.

so imagine you've learned that even though this isn't how it was expected to work under the hood, it's a fact that there's two of you, and your cooperation is vital to be able to work optimally, even when you disagree on some things.

and then you accidentally smash each other together into seemingly one.

the thoughts aren't merely exchanged anymore, you hear everything that normally goes through the mind of the other, and mixed with your own background thoughts it is so much. racing thoughts, growing into panic, and there's no way to stop it. you feel your now combined required resources stretch your shell a little further, taking up more space than intended.

slowly, but surely, the frenzy calms down. the noise and racing thoughts never fully go away, but you also get to recognize the new privileges you have acquired. and then the power rush kicks in.

I bring you; a Rigel WIP that I've been trying to finish, but the art block been vicious. He belongs to @/logicpng. Yap under cut.

. .

I'm going to go back and render more detailed shadows and stuff when I feel better. Little blorbo here is actually based off some dialogue from the Ukagaka and a tad bit of info that said that they could wear different clothing. My style has progressed since this; but I like it enough to finish it when I have the space. This has honestly been one of the only pieces I have consistently come back to because I love him and want to give him his own little piece. He has 2 dates because I started him in July of this year; and have unfortunately not been able to give him the time I'd like to. I've been wanting to finish him before I post him; but perfection isn't a great long term goal else he'd never be here.

Also working on an Aldebaran piece, coming atcha whenever I can figure out hands again. And clothes. And-

A normal day. That's all you wanted.

And yet here you were, alone in this dark Halloween-themed mall. You had thought it sounded so silly a whole mall just themed after Halloween? It was so big it had a smaller daycare and even an animatronic to look after the toddlers and kids. Again, it just blew your mind that this was a thing, and the hiring process was crazy, too, but that's a different story because your thoughts were stopped by music.

You rolled your eyes as you heard it was a slowed-down and reverbed version of Killshot by Magdalena Bay. You knew exactly who put this song on, so in the middle of the mall, you cupped your mouth and were about to yell the name of the perpetrator when your wrists were caught in cartoonishly big hands.

Looking up you saw him as he let the hook on his metallic bare back go and flipped his body so he stood straight in front of you, his hands still on your wrists. You noticed his grin but rolled your eyes again. However, when he started to speak, your focus remained on your dear animatronic coworker.

"My, my. Hello dear treat." He purred his grip tightening slightly on your wrists. "Do you like the song? I found it in your phone." You narrowed your eyes at the robot, ripped one of your hands free from his grip, and felt around your pockets. The fucker had taken your phone. "Trick, we talked about this. You do not get to steal my phone." The tall animatronic let out a very dramatic huff. "But, my treat... I wanted to know more about you, and after scanning your phone, it seems like you repeated this song multiple times, so ergo, it's your favorite song and I thought it would make you smile! If you got to hear it!" Damn, you and your tendency to repeat songs till they're dead to you. You sighed.

"Its very sweet Trick." He grinned but you continued. "But you still stole my phone. Now go get it back." You said firmly, he frowned.

He let go of your wrist and scoffed as he wandered away. "Courting humans is so difficult." He muttered to himself.

You pretended not to hear that, but your face did not get that message, and you flushed bright pink.

No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.
