Scene where Dr. Heywood Floyd (white Among Us space suit) is speaking to Sal, who also can't lie just like Hal. "I just want to say" Floyd begins "you and Hal are the only ones I trust-" he gets cut off. Sal snaps Floyd's neck around with a loud CRACK. Then she empties a full round of bullets into the body with the usual cartoonish violence of the Among Us game. "I'm not comfortable with lying." Sal says to the camera with flecks of blood on her helmet. Dave and Frank can be seen behind her walking past the body of Floyd and choosing to not report it. "But I am less comfortable with losing." Sal finishes.

An Among Us Doodle of Dr.Chandra in a brown space suit with a white collar and puple tie. Behind him are mini Among Us figures of Hal and Sal. "Never speak to me or my children again." says Chandra. Another scene. SAL9000 is talking to a confused Frank while Hal watches nervously from around a corner. "Hal would like to request you come with me, Dr. Poole. So he and Dr. Bowman may be (quote) 'task buddies' ".

Doodle from a later game where Dave was ejected for being the imposter. Offscreen Hal says "I'm sorry, Dave". Dave himself doesnt look sorry at all. He has a small heart beside him as Hal speaks. Doodle of Frank and Dave talking in the Among Us Game. Frank says: "Look, if you like someone just say this..." then leans in to whisper in Dave’s ear. Dave leans back. Frank looks please with himself but Dave looks annoyed. "I'm NOT saying that." he says point blank. There is an arrow to indicate cutting over to a later scene where a very nervous Dave sighs in defeat and says to Hal: "Are you a sabotage in O2? Because you take my breath away." Hal looks very pleased and there is a heart by his head.

Weekend Doodles of the characters from #2001ASpaceOdyssey playing #AmongUs

#2001ASO #Hal9000 #Sal9000 #2010tywmc #halman #doodles #memes
Hand drawn doodles of Characters from 2001: A Space Odyssey playing the group video game Among Us (a game where secretly one crew member has to kill the others). Left to right. Kaminsky is the blue suit. Frank is yellow. Dave is red with a little artist hat. Hal is black with red helmet glass and a yellow daisy on his head. Hunter is purple. Kimball is green. Sal (Hal's twin computer) is black with blue helmet glass and a yellow bird on her head. The characters line up, ready to play the game. Hal finds he unfortunately has been chosen to be the imposter. "Oh no." The game starts and everyone else scatters from the starting area to go do finish their crew tasks. Dave turns to ask "Hal...? You coming?" Hal just stands and trembles. "I...I am the imposter..." Hal admits, hunched over with shame. A note points to him clarifying he cant lie. From out of view we see every other crew mate say something except Dave. "Aw man!" "sigh" "Come on!" "Stop it." And even SAL says "This is not the ideal way to play, brother". Doodle of HAL9000 being "ejected" into space. Tears float behind him and he looks very sad and pathetic.

Did some red ink line art in my sketchbook and decided to digitally practice color with it ☕️🍂🍁

#autumnart #autumn #cozyart #fall #pocart #fallart
Drawing of a young Black person with short unbraided hair and wide eyes looking cozy in a giant cardigan, holding a steaming mug beverage, with a laptop tucked under their arm. They look like a college student ready to study at the cafe. The drawing is red line art colored in with warm autumn tones of orange, yellow, pink. But also purples and blues for contrast and highlights.

A hot november day spent doodling for my favorite book and that one scene from its movie

#gayart #fanart #hal9000 #halman #2001ASO #2001ASpaceOdyssey #coloredpencil #scifi #comic
A 2 panel comic drawn in colored pencil with characters from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Hal (the ship computer) watches Dave (his human Commander) as he draws in his sketch book "Will you show me what you’re drawing, Dave?" Hal asks. Dave holds his sketch book up to Hal’s eye peice to show a cartoon drawing of Hal's rectangular console with the body of a very muscular, shirtless man. Dave's face is expressionless. "Thats wonderful dave." Hal replies. "You're very talented. ❤️"

Pigeon Witch 🕊✨️🪄📖

Latest in a series of watercolor gifts for friends. Inspired by her writing...✒️
open.substack.com/pub/tadhanaj...

#watercolor #pocartist #witchart #magicalgirl #pigeons #birdart #creativewriting #witchesofcolor
A watercolor painting of a Filipino woman in a big hooded cloak resembling a pigeon. She smiles and holds a a bright metal staff that resembles a feathered fountain pen. Around her books fly like birds and pigeons rest content. She is in a circle of bird seed that has summoned pigeons to her tower, and she draws a glowing line of ink through it - radiating light into the dark space.

"Death of the Ocean" 🪸

I was thinking recently what a reaper for the coral and fish would look like. Each coral is not one soul, but thousands.

#oceanart #sealife #inkdrawing #grimreaper #coralreef #sciart #coral #marinebiology
Black ink, white paper drawing depicting a sword fish skull floating inside a cape. In its shadow on the sea floor coral turn white and there are fish bones. Ahead of its shadow is the silhouette of a thriving coral ecosystem with schools of small fish.

Cross Orb weavers...
Did you know their web silk was used to create cross hairs thin enough for stargazing/mapping instruments? 🕷🌠

#sciart #spiders #spiderart #watercolor #coloredpencil #sciencefact #bugfact #space #stars
Picture of a cross orb weaver with its web overlapping a rich blue circle of white stars. One star stretches its 4 points of light across the circle, resembling cross hairs.

Bing Bong and his wife Ding Dong 💍
THEY ARE A BONDED PAIR. DO NOT SEPARATE.

#peak #peakgame #peakfanart #bingbong #dingdong #wifeguy #oc
A drawing styled like a kid's crayon drawing. It shows BingBong, the green football shaped stuffed toy that looks like a frog with a cartoon beak from the game Peak, and an original design for his wife named Ding Dong. Who looks like a yellow egg or chick with a long red tongue. Both are wearing silly propeller caps.

To me sunflowers are symbols of transmasculinity

#trans #transmasc #transart #xolopilliart
A colored pencil comic showing two hairy green stems on the left, then two hairy brown legs on the right. Then the bottom half of a sunflower and it petals is on the left, followed by the half circle of a top surgery scar. The final frame on the bottom is all one image showing a sunflower head and dark skinned shirtless person staring off into the rising sun.

Witch of the Tides 🌙🌊🦈
#xolopilliart
A witch's magic outfit is determined by their familar. This one's familiar doubles as her hat and she has begrudgingly gotten used to this.
Close up picture of a sketch book drawing of an older woman & witch. She is wearing a fantasy-esque diving suit which resembles medieval knight underlayers and her witch's hat resembles a hammerhead shark. She holds a staff with a shining crescent moon at one wnd and a paddle at the other. The tail of the shark hat resembles the moon. Behind her, water splashes upwards.

Lineart!

(Also side note I ADORE when writers & artistists remember HAL & SAL900 were created by an Indian man 🤎. There is so little canon diversity in major published scifi, so its nice when creators uplift what we do get)
simple black pen lineart of the previous finished piece.

Fanart of Dave & human Hal from Not_An_American_Kid 's fanfic collection "Cold Metal Warm Skin", ch.40 📖

Decided to do pure traditional art for the joy of it even though the colors dont translate as well🩵

#bi #bisexualityday #arospec #acespec #coloredpencils #fanart #halman #hal9000
#queerart
Colored pencil picture. Image shows the back of a dark skinned indian man (Hal) with his white dress shirt unbuttoned and slipping down his shoulders. A light brown haired white man (Dave) sits across from Hal, facing him with his arms crossed. His face is not expressive and even seems unimpressed. But coming from out of frame is a large freight truck in blended colors of the bi flag, heading straight for Dave. Below the art is a somewhat paraphrased quote from the fic. " 'Then undress, Hal.' Dave said, gaze firm... 'Let’s see if I feel anything' " He then proceeded to get run over by a freight truck of bisexuality.

#SciArtSeptember Day 5:
"Corridor"
Humans and Wildlife deserve the right to roam.
Wildlife corridors are bandaids to an amputation - they are damage mitigation but they are not by themselves solutions.

#borderwall #indigiart #xolopilliart #nooneisillegalonstollenland #wildlifecorridor #landback
A pen drawing digitally inked because markers are expensive. There are two walls, one like the U.S. border wall to Mexico & the other like the barbed wire fences lining prisons and ICE concentration camps. In the middle of these walls, which stretch on and on into the dark distance, are plants and animals including two humans holding hands. They are all facing the long walk between these two walls.

Beautiful art. I feel this implies though that the extinction was due to the Ali'i when sources I find indicate it didnt happen until after the Europeans arrived.

The Ali'i developed a system to catch the birds without killing them.
web.archive.org/web/20081014...
A screenshot of highlighted text from an archived JPS article which reads: "It was wasteful to kill the bird that grew the golden feathers and so the fowlers adjusted their operations for obtaining yellow feathers to coincide with the moulting season. Apart from the few 'o'o that were killed for specific purposes, the birds caught with bird lime were plucked of their yellow feathers without harm and set free to maintain a future supply."

#SciArtSeptember Day 4:
"Riverbank"

Chalchiuhtlicue - Nahua goddess of Rivers and waters is depicted here with a headress of reeds and mexican cattail.

Plants and soil are VERY important to the function of a river 🧵 (1/ 🌊)
A colorful drawing of the Nahua goddess Chalchiuhtlicue as her long hair stretches out to form a serpetine river. She is depicted as an older woman with dark skin, red face paint streaking down from her eyes, and wearing a headress which features river grasses, shells, and mexican cattail. She appears with eyes closed, dissapointed. Her river of hair looks like snakes as they rush frantically through a narrow path, taking homes, cars, trees, and powerlines with them accidentally. In Nahua culture snakes are often related to subjects of water and rain as well as fertility. The watery serpents here are not depicted with malice but are simply a force of water. Unable to bring their gifts to the land without wreckage due to how poorly the river has been treated.
