Description Artwork for Chapter 3 of A Space for my Heart: A Confidently Heterosexual Romance. [link]

Pencils as always by the esteemed and talented Kenjisartdump - [link] and colours by me.

I love this particular image just because you can look at it, without any knowledge of Homestuck, this particular fic, or the characters involved, and everything just makes perfect sense in it without the need for explanation or context. It really tells a story, you know?

Also, my first time getting to write Karkat ever, which was a lot of fun.

carcinoGeneticist [CG] began trolling grimAuxiliatrix [GA]
CG: KANAYA, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?
CG: IF YOU'D BE SO GOOD TO PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR NOOK AND LOOK OUT A GODDAMNED WINDOW, YOU'D NOTICE WE'RE HERE.
CG: "HERE" BEING WHERE WE'VE BEEN GOING FOR THE PAST FOR-FUCKING-EVER.
CG: AND EVEN IF I'M NO LONGER TECHNICALLY THE LEADER ANYMORE, HOW ABOUT FOR OLD TIME'S SAKE YOU DO WHAT I FUCKING SAY AND GET YOUR ASS UP TO THE ROOF SO YOU DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND WHEN WE GET OUT OF HERE.
CG: OR, I DON'T KNOW.
CG: I GUESS I WOULDN'T ACTUALLY ABANDON YOU HERE. PROBABLY I'D RUN AROUND LIKE A GRUBFUCKING MORON LOOKING FOR YOU UNTIL IT WAS WAY TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
CG: AND THEN WE COULD JUST SAIL OFF INTO OBLIVION AND GROW OLD TOGETHER, REMINISCING ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
CG: "HEY, REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU KEPT HITTING THE SNOOZE BUTTON AND DOOMED US TO A LIFETIME OF PERPETUAL LONELINESS AND GRADUALLY MOUNTING INSANITY?"
CG: "GOOD TIMES."
CG: "ANYWAY. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT A SUICIDE PACT?"
CG: IN CONCLUSION, GET YOUR ASS UP HERE. THE END.

Perfection is what we strive for. We take too much pointless flack for our Dirk/Kanaya shipping. We refuse to give anyone any grounds to criticize us on something as banal as artistic or technical merit.

I hope that you enjoy both the rest of the set and the Tumblr which they come from!

Well, you know what they say. Clothes make the man. And a giant of a man like Dirk Strider needs to have giant shades in order to make him properly.

I actually do think that, proportionately speaking, they're about the same size on his head as on the head of his sprite in the comic.

Most excellent! Well, the circumstances of your demise persist in a most pleasant way. Chapter 5 goes up on Thursday, along with some artwork that's not going to be able to squeak by DA's submission policies. So if you're not already reading it on Tumblr, I suggest you do so and make sure your smiling demise proceeds apace.
