#outer wilds tektite

[elwensa]

A younger Gneiss helping Tektite getting used to their new leg. (2023)

I told you I wasn't a massive fan of shipping? Okay. I lied a little. I like the idea of them being together.

But I think I like the idea because I don't wanna make it over the top. They were in love for a while when they were young, then they kinda got over it while still being very close.

I should draw them again soon!

ow doodles & art dump, drawn from as far back as early february. feel free to ignore my blathering that comes with it

^ first time drawing nomai. admittedly i only ever draw humans so drawing them is out of my comfort zone

^ travelers minus their helmets? i'm not 100% on it tbh...

^ in my headcanon, gossan and feldspar are siblings ::) i value their relationship

^ i wonder if solanum (and by extension the nomai) would find riebeck's extra fingers fascinating? 🤔

^ i personally feel hal is underappreciated, i couldn't have found out everything that i did without their help on the translation device. i want to show them everything i ever discovered.

^ *shipping jumpscare* i love these two sm... they make me soft 🥺 it's awful (affectionate)

^ based on something i wrote i wanted to put to vision. i just liked the idea of the nomai having snowball fights with the snow of brittle hollow. :P maybe they let the students up there when the moon isn't spitting meteors.

^ based on a screenshot i took. the prisoner looked tipsy in it lol

the end. _(´ཀ`」 ∠) thank you for viewing. can you tell i'm still thinking about this game after 9 months?

all my outer wilds related outer wilds comics (there's only two really unfinished so meh) for funsies since I have too much cringe in my blood to finish any of them

about riebeck, hornfels, chert and gabbro

about hornfels, feldspar, riebeck (finished)

about gneiss, slate and some ocs/// second one is about slate and one oc

about feldspar, futurely tektite/// feldspar and some ocs

about slate and an oc

about marl and riebeck

two animatic/comic things, first is about feldspar + the village/// second is Gossan and Slate

first one is about elwensa's au: the legend of outer wilds, feldspar + hatchling second is about gossan, slate, hatchling and hornfels

first one: Gossand and hornfels (FINISHED)// second is Slate and Feldspar

Gneiss, Slate, Tektite, Feldspar (was gonna have hornfels but I had to kill them) - almost finished

It's not much stuff, but it's definitely fun to put things on paper from time to time, and it's a bit of a shame that no one really knows about all my projects, even though thats mostly my choice

so there's this for that

im gonna start tagging this as the taco truck au

(mostly from conversation with Feef)

Tektite is a retired (volunteer) firefighter, and an active park ranger. The reason they’re still active is Marl, local Issue who has Issues with One Specific Tree. Tektite is the only person capable of talking them out.

Gneiss is a retired doctor. The two are on again/off again, and live in Gabbro’s apartment/condo complex (Granite is Gabbro’s new roommate so that area gets more attention)(they needed a place and Gabbro’s other other other hobby is taking in strays)

(Don’t remember if I said it already)(this is from Hollows on discord and you have a tumblr and for the life of me i dont remember what it is) Rutile runs the parks and rec in the area- they’ll put on festivals and events that the taco truck goes to.

There’s, three trucks, now? The first one is the smallest, no one really loves working in it except Feldspar, no one is comfortable working in it except Feldspar, Gossan and Chert. The other two are larger- Chert and Riebeck work together (Chert is in charge, is the chef, is the driver, Riebeck has the neatest hand to write things down and is good once they get into the flow of it) and Gabbro and Granite work together (newbie with the most experienced person who isn’t Feldspar Gossan or Esker) Gabbro and Chert can work together (Gabbro takes cooking and Chert has to deal with people) but Chert and Granite or Gabbro and Riebeck all work fine. Riebeck and Granite barely manage to keep their heads above water but since Chert and Gabbro are both part time sometimes that’s just how it goes (Granite cooks, Riebeck takes orders, because Riebeck burns things when they’re nervous)

Gossan is still down an eye, here. There was a manufacturer’s defect with the truck (brake line wasn’t attached correctly) and it failed while Feldspar was driving them. Truck hit a tree, Gossan lost an eye and broke an arm and several ribs, Feldspar got ejected from  the truck entirely. Gossan was awake after a couple days, and no one knew where Feldspar was for three weeks (assumed they were dead)(was going to be brought to the morgue soon to maybe id a body?) until Gossan recognized a scar on a Mx Doe in the coma ward (medically induced coma). Feldspar was woken up a week after, and still isn’t medically cleared to drive

Buddy Feef’s hatchling Graphite is an aquarium employee with an unhealthy fixation on Feldspar and Slate, who they see as Immortal and a Mechanical God (Feldspar used to do (illegal) drag racing and they did crash but never badly enough to take them off the track more than a month, they won money but they would have done it for free)(Slate hot rodded their cars). Feldspar is fond of them, in a ‘hey so if you go totally limp right before you hit you won’t break every bone in your body’ ‘I know i was just doing that but don’t you dare’ kinda way.

Graphite and Granite both are learning parkour because Feldspar is still doing it (more carefully)

I do have. Rough permanent menu figured out. And Feef wants to draw one of the trucks and this has taken over my brain

and there was light (2/3)

Second part of And there was light, my @outer-wilds-inktober project! Blanket disclaimer: the series is teen-rated. Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. <3

Warp Core (Hatchling, T) | Your hands are heavy with the weight of the universe.

Statue (Gabbro, Hornfels, T) | Gabbro had a weird experience with a Nomai statue. They want to share the news.

Airlock (Hatchling, G) | No time for caution.

Echo (Hatchling, G) | You land on the museum's floor.

Lantern (Slate, Hatchling, G) | Simulation Hypothesis Unlocked!

Simulation (Slate, Mica, G) | Not quite a flight simulator but close enough.

Sapwine (Gossan, Tephra, Hornfels, T) | "It's Hornfels. I think— I think they're sick."

Frozen (Tektite, Original characters, T) | (Its paradise rivers AU) Tektite's leg feels cold.

Bug (Feldspar, Hatchling, G) | How does one survive in Dark Bramble?

Friend (Spinel, Tektite, various hearthians, G) | Some things never quite change, uh.

[iceskatingmobsters]

yeah so fucking on second thought esker is the only person with any braincells in this family

when I started writing this thing it was "hornfels is the only person with any braincells in this family" (out of the founders) but as I've continued to write it's become "gossan is the only person with any braincells in this family and if someone is in danger they STOP USING THEM"

Outer Wilds, Timber Hearth, Youngbark Crater

[ID : a close up screenshot of the dark bramble seed in the crater. Tektite is investigating it with a tiny lamp to their feet. resting their hand on a a pick axe handle. /End ID]

Do you think Tf2 X Outer Wilds could be anything?

If im going to be completely honest, i have a deep, profound love for outer wilds, but i have a Really hard time doing anything au related for the game just by virtue of the story it tells and the conclusive ending it has. And tf2 could not be more tonally different from outer wilds as a game.

Obligatory “play outer wilds please for the love of god play outer wilds” schpeal uhh you should do it. Super cool open world space exploration game. Sort of like subnautica but minus any resource gathering or building mechanics, very environment and story oriented, but a wide amount of all types of people playing videos games can confirm its a really cool experience even if it didnt seem like a game they’d enjoy. Prepare for a lot of reading and puzzle solving. Also funny non-binary aliens which is awesome.

So, ignoring the wider Narrative Implications, it would still be fun to assign roles to the mercs. So. Cracks my knuckles. Dishing out role under the cut

I think Engineer should be the Hatchling, the main player character, because he seems like the only one who would commit to solving the Mysteries of it all.

Sniper’s very gabbro coded to me, stick him in Giant’s Deep.

Mmmmmm. Medic on Ember Twin in Chert’s place perhaps? Probably the closest one aside from Engineer who would make all the Realizations Chert does during the game.

I think Scout could be a fun Riebeck. Guy who promises hes so not at all afraid of the black hole but also hes just gonna uhhh chill out for a while ok.

Soldier. Soldier Feldspar. You know. Yk.

Maybe Heavy as Esker? Wouldn’t have the same desperation as them, id see him being pretty content (or at least indifferent) to being stationed up there.

Pauling Solanum perhaps. Demo, Pyro, and Spy can be timber hearth residents. Maybe Pyro Hal and Spy Hornfels… Demo Tektite.. checking out the Dark Bramble Seed. Nods.

Trying to figure out Outer Wilds datamining, and I got the low-detail textures for the Hearthian villagers! Which I wanted because I wanted to compare their eye colours, and Arkose's eyes in particular are very difficult to see.

Here they are:

Arkose: Dark purple Esker: Purple Galena: Orange Gneiss: Dark red Gossan: Orange Hal: Dark yellow Hornfels: Orange Marl: Green Mica: Orange (Not visible in-game) Moraine: Red Porphy: Greyish red Rutile: Dark green Slate: Orange Spinel: Orange Tektite: Orange Tephra: Yellow Tuff: Blue Protagonist: Orange

All orange-eyed characters have the exact same eye colour except Galena, whose eyes are very slightly redder and duller. They also have different skin tones and spot patterns (Gossan has stripes!), but I'd like to see some more detailed textures to get a better idea of those.

THAT'S NOT FELDSPAR

well normally i'm supposed to be having therapy right now, but there's a service outage of my wifi and idk if it's fixed for good now and also i'm tired so. outer wilds gaming for a bit

if you haven't played outer wilds you should absolutely blacklist #outer wilds liveblogging if you haven't already because spoilers 👍

[sasa-fistulosum]

i love your art so much!!! your depictions of the OWV group as hatchlings are always so funny. poor tektite

Ah I'm so glad to hear you like their hatchlinghoods! I think Tektite is a role model or something for them.

Outer Wilds Adventures Pt. 3

(This contains spoilers for the game Outer Wilds)

Loop... 11? I’ll call it 11 and start counting from here.

I fell into the sun. Again. This time it wasn’t because of my autopilot, but because I didn’t get my bearings fast enough to start moving away from the sun. Whoops.

Loop 12

I made it back to Brittle Hollow. Last time I was there, I found a note from Riebeck(?) saying they went to look at some ruins near the equator. This time, I found those ruins, and another note, directing me to a path leading INTO the planet. I’m glad the Observatory back on Timber Hearth had the crystals that shifted gravity so I wasn’t too surprised when I encountered them. Inside the planet, I found another note but by the time I got there the planet was starting to collapse and the path I wanted to take had already crumbled. I haven’t mastered the controls on my suit yet and when trying to get back to the surface I fell into the black hole. I hung out in space until my oxygen ran out.

Loop 13

I didn’t feel like going back to Brittle Hollow just yet, so I did something I’ve never tried before: I grabbed my suit from the ship and I used the propulsion system to follow the river out of the village. I wandered around Timber Hearth for awhile and met up with Tektite in a crater. There was a seed pod of some sort, maybe from Dark Bramble??? I sent a scout into it and it was BIGGER ON THE INSIDE. I don’t know what’s going on with that, and I don’t know if it’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen or the most terrifying (and that’s with the sun repeatedly going supernova and everything else that’s been going on). I left that crater and continued wandering until I came across another crater, near the south pole. There was a platform on a tree and a path that went into a... I don’t know what to call it. It was pretty dark down there, and there was a signpost with some really mysterious signs. There was also a quantum shard?? I don’t know what that means, but apparently it’s connected with a quantum moon, though I also don’t actually know what that is. Maybe next time I can try to find some information in my ship or from someone in the Observatory. Eventually, I climbed back up to the platform and watched the supernova.
