These were some early explorations on keeping the mourning look but making her a bit more stylish. However, this was before we’d done more character work past what had already been established in HS^2 and thus we decided on going in a much more radical direction. + + <b>Kim:</b> We stopped to consider, is she still going to be wearing her mourning veil outfit as the crew are all approaching to face off with Dirk? Hmm... + + A good first step that helped guide us into the right direction was considering: What is Kanaya’s current mindset right now? And how would that reflect in her outfit? With her current look, she’s clearly hurting. Though, as the ship arrives closer to their destination at Deltritus, how does that shift? Of course, she doesn’t stop mourning her wife, but as everyone is preparing to confront Dirk we envisioned that Kanaya would be feeling more... righteous determination. She’s ready to get serious and get shit done to save her wife! No more moping around! + + <b>Chumi:</b> Time for an action outfit.... + + <figure> + <img src="media/misc/hsbc-1002/kanaya3.png" width="400"> + <figcaption>Kanaya Outfit Concepts by [[artist:andi-r]]</figcaption> + </figure> + + <b>[[artist:andi-r|Andi:]]</b> This was my first concept I threw into the pile.

I was very invested in 60s groovy fashion at this point in time. I look at a lot of old fashion photography and these were shapes I’m always drawn to. Color and piece wise, I didn’t really know exactly what I wanted to do with them though, which is why there's parts of this that feel a bit meh and uncooked to me. + + <b>Haven:</b> These were so cute. I was a big fan of everyone's designs with white pants. + + <b>Floral:</b> Oh how I adore the booblah.

Don’t even mind this. LMFDGDAFGDFGFGADFFH I was starting to feel kinda stuck, it ended up looking more disco than what I actually wanted.

I think this one was pretty nice. I don’t have much else to comment on, I really wanted flared pants somehow. But it was also looking a little Snowman.

We were having a conversation about how this previous dress of hers was so baller, but so unfortunate we didn’t get to see more of it in the original comic! But then we realized... why not bring it back and remix it...?! + + <b>Floral:</b> Oh how I adore a good throwback. + + <b>Chumi:</b> Dare I say...

I was honestly really proud of all of these variants and a part of me absolutely would want them to use them in some kind of illustration at some point. The jumping off point for the red jacket was the Van Hellsing anime, I was always a big fan of her Clown Hunting red dress too and wanted to invoke a similar vibe since her feelings have shifted to a more focused rage towards Dirk. + + <figure> + <img src="media/misc/hsbc-1002/vanhellsing.png" width="400"> + </figure> + + <b>Floral:</b> The last two are more based off what Chumi and Haven were pitching with slight revisions. + + <b>Andi:</b> THERE WERE SO MANY OF THESE THAT I WAS LIKE, DAMN I WANT THEM ALL... the second middle was really really hitting for me.

Harkening back a bit to the drapes adorning her hive as a child. + + <b>Floral:</b> I loved Luna Moth so much I had to include her into the flash somehow, so I made it her pajamas during the Little Prince sleepover.

THAT’S OUR NAYA. I love Chicnaya. + + <b>Chumi:</b> I loved that the middle black-and-white part is reminiscent of an old outfit. Also I notice that we kinda love the long colored belts. + + <b>Kim:</b> It’s quite Homestuck-esque ain’t it? Kanaya’s Eridan cape ribbon, Rose’s classic grimdark dress... Who doesn’t love a good sash? + + <figure> + <img src="media/misc/hsbc-1002/dave.png" width="525"> + <figcaption>Dave Outfit Concepts by [[artist:haven-daniels-taylor]]</figcaption> + </figure> + + <b>Haven:</b> Back during Addendum 1 I drew up dave A2 and everyone was like “yep. Thats our new dave” but somehow that original drawing was lost. No one has it and no one knows where it went but we all remember seeing it. So during our jadetok dev I just drew it up again and then added the B-side designs as a secondary. They were an instant hit. + + <b>Andi:</b> DAVE B2. DAVE B2. + + <b>Kim:</b> It’s really funny because compared to the others who are stylin’ tf out, Karkat and Dave really chose to go a much more mellow style of dress LOL. We were kinda stuck between the B1 and B2 variants because they felt perfectly simple yet sleek. + + <b>Chumi:</b> I think we didn’t make any other Dave designs, these were just it. + + <b>Floral:</b> It just felt right. A part of me wanted to vote for A1, his ghostly form, but i loved B2 too much. The inverse of his baseball tee. We almost went with B1 but it felt weird sectioning off his head from the rest of the white on his body. + + <figure> + <img src="media/misc/hsbc-1002/jake1.png" width="525"> + <figcaption>Jake Outfit Concepts by [[artist:floralmarsupial]]</figcaption> + </figure> + + <b>Floral:</b> I was super happy with how easy Jake’s outfit came to mind. For both him and Jane I was very much feeling more of the 70’s retro futurism for their silhouettes, to invoke their beta selves more, especially Grandpa in regards to Jake, but with a sexy, genderfluid twist. Jake is the jilted heroine afterall. In the end, the original concept got a bit of the “Trinity” variant mixed in. + + <b>Andi:</b> YES JAKE REALLY HIT THAT SPACE AGEY KINDA SUPER AGENT vibe. He’s living out his campy scifi movie dreams. I loved the retro futurism approach. He’s so gay. + + <b>Haven:</b> I LOVED ALL OF THESE SO MUCH. TRINITY JAKE <3 + + <b>Kim:</b> As soon as Floral explained to us that the vibes for Jake’s new outfit was like a scorned wife going on a revenge spree, I IMMEDIATELY understood the memo. + + <b>Chumi:</b> I’m gonna say, I fought for the coat cause it looks so good but... We can’t win 'em all.... + + <b>Floral:</b> So True.

It was at this stage too I was keeping in mind Kim’s desire to play with Roxy’s old wizard sensibilities. I also pitched him having a mustache cause I thought it’d be awesome. + + <b>Andi:</b> I BELIEVED IN THE WHORISH. I WANTED THAT SO BAD. I also loved the sorta avant garde wizard approach Floral brought here. It was just... muah.

The casual vibes from Andi and Haven’s concepts, leaning into the wizard look (cos Roxy loves wizards!), but also Floral’s idea of Roxy dressing in a way that clearly shows he’s comfortable with himself. It was a big note from the writers that they wanted to have Roxy’s new look reflect that he's happy to be who he is without having to hide. + + (Also you can’t see it here very well, but he’s wearing cowboy boots in this one. Trust me.) + + <b>Floral:</b> The general shape of this one was soooo nice, so languid which felt like a good direction for him. Also was lowkey OBSESSED with that belly button piercing.

I love the boxy blue one still! + + <b>Andi:</b> GODDDD, SO GOOD. They just all really hit. They are all some amazing shapes. Floral has such a great touch for arranging pieces and layering. I really like the overalls. It’s so cute. I think around Kim’s is when we were thinking a lot about the thong strap but unsure if we should add it or not. But I loved his as well.

There was clearly more work to be done though. + + <b>Kim:</b> I really like the direction this version started to head too! It had the best of both worlds we needed where it had the boldness, stylish but easy to wear, but also the perfect fit when Roxy would be ready to confront Dirk. + + <b>Floral:</b> It was such an amazing attitude shift for Roxy, and I personally loved the binder appearance of the latex top. + + <figure> + <img src="media/misc/hsbc-1002/roxy13.png" width="300"> + <figcaption>Roxy Outfit Concept by [[artist:andi-r]] edited by [[artist:haven-daniels-taylor]]</figcaption> + </figure> + + <b>Haven:</b> I loved Andi’s take on it so much, I had to make a small edit though.

Once again, I was inspired by space agey latex of the 60s and I thought it’d be neat to make something that would also mesh well with the rest of the group's outfits. + + There are some more complex detail work on this particular outfit that I’d like to draw on my own for fun, and I’ve seen REALLY good takes on this design, but I think what needs to be remembered is that we need to draw these characters like 800 times in different panels and we only have so much time, so you may notice we focused more on shapes and silhouettes. I think I love Roxy. + + <b>Floral:</b> Roxy is love.

Smiles. + + <br> + <br> + + <b>Floral:</b> I pitched Jadetok A While Back, like before we had finished [S] 8r8k even (?), and it came up when Haven mentioned wanting to get Jane and Jake back on the ship. It just felt like the most succinct way of handling what would be a very low stakes “retcon” but more importantly showing the change on the ship since Jade has been freed from Al’s control. + + It was also a fun and saucy little wink to one of the most controversial parts of original Homestuck, which was always a gamble to make but one worth making. Make readers consider the utility of this spectacle within the story especially as we move forward. Jadetok is different from Vriskagram though because I don’t think it actively contradicts or rewrites what has happened in the story, but shifts focus away from these private one-on-one moments prevalent in hs^2 to big fun group hang outs. + + I also suggested starting this sequence with Jane to show that Catnapped hasn’t been erased from relevancy. A lot of people left the last meat update with Vriska escaping Candy scared things from the EPILOGUES had been retconned away but nothing was touched from that. Since the Vrisual Novel, we’ve been preparing people for Jasprose having a larger plan in the works. + + As implied in the revised newspaper clippings, in the end Jane and Jake woke up from their excursion the day before their own disappearance with a need to leave with their friends instead of being left behind. This is the only real contradiction from what’s been previously laid. + + Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this life changing lady boning. + + <b>Chumi:</b> For this flash, we used the dimensions of a typical Tiktok video and let ourselves stylize the art more than usual.
