Oh yeah here’s my current progress for an extremely rough concept for the stalien planet map, ignore how fucked it’d look projected on a sphere (I checked btw it sure is a thing)

#keese draws #eternal gales #I Wanted to draw it directly on a sphere but procreate was not cooperating with me and I wasn’t abt to try doing it in blender #I Will need to revamp the poles but most of it should be ok for what I need from it?#again I’m not aiming for hyper realism I’m just doing this for funsies #I’d have to put in frankly too much work to create a functioning planet that fills the credentials I need filled #I’m sure it’d be possible with some imagination stretching but it quite frankly doesn’t matter enough to the main story for me to want to #the vast majority of the story doesn’t even take place on this planet all of this is genuinely irrevivant to the actual story #which means I will simply do what I want to do and not do what I don’t want to do and it won’t matter because I’m the only one who will know #well except for ppl who see me talk abt it ig they get to know too #truly this is all just stalling for when I inevitably make the main cast’s society a proper conlang #I’ve made concepts but I am not strong enough to truly hunker down and go at it yet #mainly because I very much do not want to have to figure out what sort of teenage slang the main cast would have going on #plus the fact that several of them probably speak different dialects from eachother #and if I Did do all that I’d then be obligated to write all of their dialogue in their language first and then directly badly translate it #which would be so much fucking work considering this comic is 99% yapping #it wouldn’t be worth it! but also it’d be so cool! so I want to! but I also don’t!#again I’m very much not trying to make hyper realistic detailed worldbuilding I’m just trying to have fun #but just so happens detailed worldbuilding Is fun to me and I have to wrangle myself sonetimes to not give myself extra obligations #as much as I love thinking abt stalien linguistics I cannot make the whole comic a stalien linguistics lecture #I will likely chip at making them a conlang anyways but I wanna practice restraint for now #there are Far more important things I need to develop more first such as yknow. the characters. and plot.#the fine details of what the ocean currents look like on the staliens planet are very much not relevant to that
