nice idea sedna, but there is one tiny flaw to this plan. you’ll need approximately 2,000 balloons to lift your body off the ground and think of all the plastic pollution that would create.

double sunset
this is my favourite random factoid about mercury. on most planets the sun moves from east to west, then venus decides to be different and has the sun move from west to east, and then mercury comes along and says “¿porque no los dos?” and makes the sun do a whole reverse parking manoeuvre and then carry on like it was nothing.
i should probably mention that this happens over the course of about 8 earth days and there’s no atmosphere for the sun to light up orange, so it would probably also be the most boring sunset in the solar system, but somehow i don’t think sedna would mind.

percy on mars

illustration day boys! and this is an extra special one! 10.5 hours from this post, at around 8:30pm utc (12:30pm pst, 3:30pm est, 7:30am aest), the rover “perseverance” will attempt to soft land on the surface of the planet mars. if it succeeds, this illustration will be a celebration for percy and nasa’s amazing accomplishment. if it fails, this will be more of a sad farewell. either way, i definitely need to come back and edit this description based on the outcome.
this is possibly the most i’ve ever procrastinated on an illustration. drawing complex messes of machinery is so hard and confusing, i just kept putting it off. pretty happy with the outcome though.
UPDATE: PERCY MADE IT! EVERYTHING IS OKAY IN THE WORLD!!!

sedna used “sulk”! it’s not very effective!
sedna’s dad used “guilt”! it’s super effective!

fact: anything you can completely cover with your thumb does not at all matter (i.e. literally everything if you stand back far enough). it’s called the jim lovell principle, and it’s definitely a real thing that i didn’t make up just now. ◑.◑
maybe this is why sedna never lets dini get more than a few steps away from her. (´ω｀*)
who is yuri?
subtle throwback to comic #11. it’s almost like i’m a genius and planned this all along (i didn’t).
maybe the reason sedna is always wearing the same hoodie is that it was the only one she could find with a matching miniature version.

happy 2021 mates! kicking off the year with a cute illustration which some might call a ripoff of ‘the martian’, but i prefer to think of it as a tribute. if anyone recognizes this, yes it’s the one i submitted to the clip studio illustration competition months ago (i have a large buffer).
lots of spacey stuff to be excited about this year. there’s a lunar eclipse in may, spacex starship and boeing starliner will have their first orbital flights (hopefully), and the james webb telescope (the successor to hubble) will finally launch in october (maybe), and boy are my buttcheeks gonna be clenched when that happens.

be careful what you say to your kids, you might accidentally give them an eating disorder.

whenever you think you’re the best at something, just remember there are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^24) star systems in the observable universe. there’s almost certainly someone out there better than you. ;)
