     <i>Ephemerald:</i>
     Split ran up to me saying that he had a problem; the UMSPAF team needed cover art for their latest album, and he asked if I could provide some. So, I did! I tried to evoke the same feelings as the [[album:homestuck-for-the-holidays]] cover without seeming too derivative, so I had the kids take a "backseat" and have a huge cruxite tree with eponymous grist hanging from it be center stage. The result: a peaceful and quiet scene in LOFAF, representing the best of the Gristmas season. (There are four emotes hidden throughout the image. Good luck finding them!)

+    <i>Quasar Nebula:</i> (wiki editor, 6/4/2025)
+
+    Primary artworks throughout this album are from James Roach's own SoundCloud, where he uploaded tracks as volumes of Pesterquest were released (so earlier than this album's own release). Most of them are set on the background art asset used on the main menu of Hiveswap Friendsim.
+
+    But we're not exactly sure who drew it! Current in-game credits indicate [[artist:danny-kilgore]] was the background artist for the first two volumes. However, this asset *isn't from Friendsim* - it's actually part of [[flash:hiveswap-act1]]. That game credits many artists in the role of "environment art", including [[artist:shelby-cragg]].
+
+    Danny and Shelby's crediting in Hiveswap Friendsim are nuanced. The initial release of the game (i.e. including only the first two volumes) credits Shelby as "colorist, bg painting" and Danny for "character art, illustration". Some later update revised this, crediting Shelby only under "colorists" and Danny as "character artists, background artists".
+
+    The asset also brings its own nuance, because the file from Hiveswap does *not* include the MSPA reader's crashed rocket ship! Someone must have drawn (and colored) this for Hiveswap Friendsim. Meanwhile there are also plenty of original backgrounds in the first two volumes.
+
+    We're currently leaving this background art uncredited in the relevant track artworks' origin details. A handful of the track artworks are set on backgrounds which do come from Hiveeswap Friendsim, so those take from the in-game credits, like for all character sprites.

     There, uh, isn't that much to tell about this piece. I had originally envisioned John sitting with his legs hanging over the edge or something and I have a clearer idea now of what I could have done! But this was back at the start of the project and my art skills were rusty so yeah. Very simple piece. Just the land based off of what we see in the comic, and John.

Mindfang looks down focusing her powers and concentrating on her foe, but to no avail. The Neophyte has already guarded her mind against the invasion. And so with a cackle from one, and a curse from the other the two combatants go their separate ways until their next encounter.

     Ah this is one of those songs I'm particularly proud of for making. It was for this AU thing I was doing, in which Kanaya Maryam was a super secret spy having to break into the Big Boss Sollux's base with Karkat as an informer. That didn't pan out though, but I still managed to make this beauty. It's heavily, heavily inspired by Yoko Kanno, my favorite composer. The idea is that the first half is when she's sneaking about going through, knowing that this is important, THIS IS SERIOUS, and she can't risk it here. She stumbles upon a computer, with a typewriter as a keyboard for whatever reason, and then the alarm goes off she gets caught and the big bad chase action scene starts. I had worked on it for about a month, and I kept losing progress because of crashes, but [[artist:eston-schweickart|Silence]] convinced me to finish it, and boy am I glad he did.

     A nice, simple piece. Fashion in Homestuck is associated with Kanaya in my mind so I came up with the idea of Kanaya seeking to escape something, and then halfway through the song the klaxon alarm kicks in. Thus we get this piece of art.

     I have always liked silhouette pieces. I knew that I wanted to draw John running. I briefly considered doing all four kids but decided against it, Sburban Jungle is John's theme after all, and the color scheme would look better with just him. From there it was a simple matter of posing him and arranging the rest of the piece. I think that this is one of the ones I am most proud of, even if it's very simple.

     [[track:MeGaLoVania]] + Rock. A potent combination when mixed! A similar yet more complex piece when compared to [[track:a-fashionable-escape|Fashionable Escape]]. Both had characters that I cut out of the panel and edited to fit my purposes. I really do like how this one turned out though. My original draft had curtains on each side of her. I went back and cut them out though. I thought "okay, it's metal, there should be smoke". The lights were already in place so when I added the smoke effect I was awed by the effect it had. From there I touched things up and added Vriska's background lights. ::::)

I thought it fit with the song title to where it be post-Bro's death and it being Dave unsure about what to do from there.

     My approach to music is very dramatic. When I create music I tend to visualise very specific scenes which take place when it plays. Farewell was originally intended to accompany the scene where John discovered Mom and Dad were dead. At this point in the story it could have gone any way, so I started playing around and doing improvisations based around the [[track:showtime-piano-refrain|Showtime]] theme, being a theme central to John. After messing around some more for a while I realised that a more bittersweet touch worked better though, and that instead of being used for lamenting, in my minds eye the piece seemed to fit something more akin to a goodbye, such as a scene displaying the kids and trolls parting ways.

     This piece is based on what I hope will happen (still). After joining forces to defeat Jack, the kids' ultimate reward is unlocked and the trolls either go back to their own world, or accompany the kids. John is the last to leave and you can see the shadows of Terezi and Karkat. John gives a final wave before stepping through the door, Karkat gives a last farewell gesture in response. A bittersweet ending indeed.

     I wrote Contention as a strife theme for Dirk Strider. It's synthesized entirely with FM patches ripped from a ROM of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and converted to FM8 format, in keeping with the Sega Genesis inspired style of Dirk-related songs like [[track:anbroids-v2|Anbroids]]. The rhythms in this song were largely inspired by the drums in the song ["Tung, The Icelandic Lesbian"](https://lapfox.bandcamp.com/track/tung-the-icelandic-lesbian) by Kitsune^2. I've always been a big fan of heavy 6/8 two-against-three rhythms played with Sonic-style drums, so the choice of time signature for this track was a no-brainer.

     Stargazing with Gods is a Homestuck fan piece written for a clarinet choir consisting of 2 E♭  clarinets, 4 B♭ clarinets, and 2 bass clarinets. It is meant to depict [[flash:1940|the very end of Act 4]] - Becquerel watches over his sleeping owner, Jade Harley, while gazing off into the night sky. Though the stars are beautiful, in the distance, a number of meteors can be seen that signify the apocalypse, with one particularly large one coming directly for Jade’s home. Ultimately, the piece’s mood is meant to reflect both the horror and beauty of the life cycle of the universe as presented in the webcomic.

     James' land is a desert which made it easy to come up with imagery for it. A single glowing point of light past a troop of imps. You just need to get past them and you're safe for a bit. The song itself is for the screen that would display when you loaded the game from a previous file, like Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts. But I digress, the art depicts one of the few save points in the game. It is located on top of a hill. And off in the sky you can see [[artist:marcy-nabors|Shadolith's]] land! Yay!

     Seriously, though. In Homestuck, Jack's theme "[[Black]]" is pretty darn crazy with all the pitch bending and running notes, but to be honest? I don't think it fits with Jack as a character. Don't get me wrong - it's perfectly justified within the context of Homestuck because Jack goes batshit insane after getting the bunny. But if you look at him within the context of a regular session, he's, well - a washed-up Archagent stuck in a dead-end job who hates his superior. And that's not very exciting. So I made something that sounds more like a funeral march. It's your funeral, because after the song's over, he <i>shoas u his stabbz</i>.

     Some explanation is required for this piece. Kon made the sprite that made Jack hate him at least 10 times more. A Party Cat sprite. Sadly for Jack, these are not corpse parties, these are the good old fashioned cake, confetti, and music parties. So imagine you are Jack. You went to bed feeling disgruntled as always but that's nothing new. You are then suddenly wakened by DD, HB, and CD playing a rousing and lively song outside your door. How do you feel?

     <i>Marcy Nabors:</i>
     With The Ultimate Riddle, I tried to merge two concepts: The first half of the song is quite ambient. It is meant to fill the role of a sort of myserious "you can't go here yet" song, not unlike the scenario of the infinite staircase in Super Mario 64. The second half is a very Metroid Prime inspired exploration piece, to be heard while exploring ruins on your personal world. The result is a very mysterious song indeed.
 
-    <i>melodiousDiscord:</i>
+    <i>cadalyst:</i>
     I interpreted the riddle as [[artist:marcy-nabors|Shadolith]] entering a temple in his land and then when she finally reaches the core she sees the heart of the land along with ancient carvings. Shadolith is confronted with a strange tablet on the wall (representing the prophecy about her becoming a god) and a series of holes in the wall. Said holes actually make up part of the melody to the song "Gods of the New World". Would playing those measures actually be relevant to creating the new world? They might be, or they might not.

-    Skaiaward has had a pretty strange development. I was the original artist attached to it, but had to drop out of the SburbOST project to focus on everything else that was going on. Eventually, [[artist:melodiousdiscord|Cadrien (mD)]] attempted something for it, but struggled due to his lack of compositional experience. Nonetheless, the pentatonic idea he went with (similarly to the canon [[Skies of Skaia]]) was the base that Marcy and I ultimately used in our reinterpretation... after I managed to get myself involved with the project again.

     Our opinion is that this piece is a more accurate representation of Skaia compared to [[Skies of Skaia]]. The focus is on the bittersweet concept that Skaia is both a creator and destroyer of life.
