Description Spades ain't the instrospective type, at least that's what he tells everyone who has, for some reason, the inclination to ask. The past was shit, and the present, lost amongst capers and murders and jazz clubs and everything else, don't leave much time to sit around and think about bull-fuck that doesn't matter anyway. He made this goddamn town, the fuck is there to think about anyway?

Though he may admit to himself that sometimes in the middle of the night when the rest of the crew are off or asleep and their capers and "everything else" are done, he might sit around with nothing to do but plunk at a piano that he still has for some reason. And maybe sometimes the music reminds him of somethin, and sometimes he lets that happen. Sometimes he even thinks about it.

But that's just three-in-the-morning. Nothin more to it.

THIS IS PROBABLY REALLY DARK FOR SOME COMPUTERS oh well.

Had this linework sitting in my computer for a long time. i worked all night. haven't slept. decided "well, fuck, i might as well do something for myself for once."

So here you go. Spades Slick. My favorite.

I really like this one. Cue my stupid SlickPaint OTP, but I initially thought that description was going to turn into a brief cap of Slick trying to write a song. Not that he'd actually do it, because he is Spades Slick and he made this town.

heh, based a fan fic off of this.
i rarely have inspiration, and when i do, it usuly sucks, but this is just one of those odd tomes when the insp. is good and the fic is mildly good.

idk.

Ok as if the picture itself didn't have a beautiful atmosphere already, the story just made it complete. This isn't the most impressive to the eye homestuck piece that is out there(I'm not saying it's not greatly drawn, because IT IS, there's just a lot of crazy artists in the fandom ), but it's definitely one of the best I've ever seen. It makes the viewer think which isn't something any flashy, insanely-detailed but otherwise bland picture can do.
In short, this touched my heart string.

I just...just like, realized that you drew this. And by consequence, you know about Homestuck. And the Midnight Crew. And you like it. And Spades Slick is your favorite.

Hah.

Wow. This has a lovely tone to it - both the image and the writing. It captures the essence of the philosophical mood that permeates the hours between midnight and dawn, and it reveals a side of Slick that we haven't seen before, but which still fits perfectly within his character.

Sad Slick is the best thing. Maybe because he is possibly the most aggressive guy in all possible universes normally. It's like flipping over a beetle and seeing the squishy underside, and it's flailing its legs all squiggly trying to turn back over. And then it bites you.

I'm not entirely sure what that metaphor meant.

That's an excellent little ficlet there. It's very Spades. It's hard and badass, and at first there doesn't seem to be much emotion to it, but somewhere in it's black little heart, there's a melancholy piano solo just plunking away into the night.

I love the stylized moon.

Lovely picture. ^^ And I loved the first part of the Artist Comment too. Reminded me of MSPA's style of story telling... just without the story? Iunno....

Either way... *faves*

I love this to bits man, you don't even know. All the little details- the knives in the wall and the piano bench, the tiny, messy apartment- it all compliments his character.
That and your use of perspective and that wonderful lighting just makes this so gorgeous. <3
