The Fuck Is That Octahedron Waffling About

purely from random osmosis, but if bill cipher was born with his eye on his "side" (facing upward in what Flatlanders call their inside), then he'd be blind as a Flatlander because we wouldn't be able to see within Flatland itself at all.

And also no one would even be aware that he has an eye to begin with, because it's literally outside their realm of perception. They'd think he was born without any eye and that he was literally just imagining anything he thought he could see.

[ID: A four way grid with the first row labeled "Bill Cipher apparently", first seen from above, as an equilateral triangle with a round eye in the center of his face, looking up and to the side. He is then seen from the side as a line with a half circle on top to show his eye, labeled, "Cannot see surroundings at all, cannot look in any direction except Up". from his eye radiate three lines to show his area of vision, with a zig-zag line in front of him to show where he cannot see. The second row is labeled, "Regular Flatlander", and shows another equilateral triangle, but this one has their eye on their perimeter at their top point. When they are shown from the side, they are labeled, "Can see surroundings, but cannot look Up", with three straight lines in front of their eye, which points to the size, and a zig-zag above them. End ID.]

So. If you're planning to write a crossover with Flatland where you want it to actually follow Flatland's worldbuilding, Bill should be blind while he's in Flatland. He'd have to navigate purely though touch and sound and would never see anything except whatever is above him.

One of two pieces I did for Art Fight this year xDc Better than nothing, and I had fun! Focused on going with the flow and exploring.

This is my dear friend @mintytrashcannot's character Albert (and his alien dog Spluty)! I felt he seemed like a rather traditionalist guy who would stand by his country's greyscale palette even after color was legalized, so this is kinda meant to highlight that contrast between his natural color and his conservative values

(Hope that makes some kinda sense...the lore is a bit complex)

ruthie redesign yay

also additional simple character info sheet thingy i made with this :

[ID: the same image as described above, but it has some additional text and images added.

“Ruth Bea Galton” is wrote at the top right in large black text, followed by “| she / her | 25 |” underneath. Below this is a pink, orange and white lesbian flag and British flag beside each other. Under the flags are several paragraphs of text, written as follows: “Only child of respective solicitor, Hugh Galton, and his wife, Beatrice Galton.”, “Currently resides in a little cottage on the edge of a rural town far from home, along with Liz Huntsworth. Makes a living by selling her hand-knitted pieces to the local clothing shop that Liz works for.”, “Irregularity occurred at age 12, after being hit in the street by a young isosceles man. He did not survive the ordeal.”, and “Personality is reserved, pessimistic, and anxious - but sarcastic.”.

On the top left, light grey text reads “voice claim : Katie Leung”. On the bottom left, there is black text that reads “Canon faithful form:” with a drawing of Ruth as a non-stylised Flatlander underneath. She has the same colours and spot patterning, but is worm-like in appearance.

also ruth playlist reveal

and i can’t forget the cat pic that made me want to redesign her in the first place. she’s literally her

Hi Flat Dreams fandom, come get your food🔥(tbh the last one is not FD but it doesn't matter)

Im too lazy to redraw these digitally so have it traditional :)

Now THAT'S Thinkin' In 3D!

HHEHEHEE HAH FLATLAND FANART BE UPON YE

I made this and then instantly forgot I made it.

Here you go, an entire month after I drew it.

A Flatland mouse being chased by a cat, which is being chased by the ancestor of a dog, which is being followed by human hunters.

[ID: A simple digital drawing for the setting of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, showing a group of three people following a dog, which chases a cat, which chases a mouse. All of them are two-dimensional beings that we look down on from above, so that we can see their insides, which are blobs in different shades of pink, purple, and red. The three humans are different geometric shapes with purple blood and grey exoskeletons. One is an almost right triangle, one is a diamond, and one is a shape almost like a quill or old-fashioned ink pen. Rather than limbs, they each have multiple pairs of thin black cillia for swimming. The dog they are chasing is light grey, with five tentacle-like fins in place of legs and tail. Its mouth is in the center of its head, with an eye and a spike on either side reminescent of ears.

The cat is orange and white, and of similar layout to the dog, but smaller, skinnier, and with a more pointed mouth and four spikes on its head rather than two. From the front of its head extend thin cillia like whiskers. The mouse is the smallest, and is grey, with a rounded body and thin cillia like the humans rather than fins. End ID.]

Flatland (2007) models by Otis Le PoOtis (me) in Blender 4.1

I’d do anything for you, Mrs. Highness

[ID: a digital painting of two original stylised Flatland characters, named Atlas and Chief Jr.

Atlas is a stone grey isosceles triangle with a navy tail with a V-shaped end, navy limbs, one eye with a star-shaped pupil, a bushy black eyebrow, chipped top and bottom right corners, and scars on his left side and eye.

Chief Jr. is a light grey and dark purple circle with a crescent moon pattern on his body, dark purple limbs and a tail that ends in a C-shaped tip, a glossy eyelid and long beaded eyelashes. He is wearing a black crown.

Chief is walking in front of Atlas on a dirt path and looking over to the left, as if looking back at Atlas. He is posed mid-stride and both of his hands are held away from his body. His left hand is loosely pointing the index finger at nothing in particular, and his right hand is held out to catch a falling raindrop. Atlas is running towards Chief and holding out a black umbrella to cover him with. He is looking straight at Chief and has a slightly panicked expression.

The background is a dirt path cutting through a lush meadow. The sky is blue, but fades to white closer to the horizon. Some green hills are in the distance. There are some light raindrops falling from a cloud just out of view at the top right of the scene.

End ID].

detail close-ups / small symbolism explanation / silly thing under the cut

[ID: four close-up shots of the above image. The first shows Atlas’s arm. The second shows Chief’s leg and arm. The third shows the umbrella. The fourth shows the grass and shadows. End ID].

Obviously the biggest and most prominent aspect of this is Atlas doing his best to shield Chief from the rain with the single umbrella as quickly as he can, at the expense of being soaked himself. He sees Chief’s comfort as being far more important than his own, so he’ll be the one to provide that comfort to him. He could choose to cover both of them with the umbrella, but he prioritises getting Chief completely covered first (or even just partially covering both of them).

Another thing being their placements; Atlas is farther away, and thus seems smaller than Chief. Something something smaller = less important, despite the fact that Atlas is physically much larger than Chief when stood side-by-side.

The grass near Atlas is yellower than that near Chief. Chief is surrounded by dark green grass. In essence, the grass is in poorer condition near Atlas, while it is healthier near Chief to symbolise the different paths in life they’ve lead thus far.

also some potential endings especially for my two pathetic little guys <3 romantic walk through the meadow ruined by natural causes

[ID: two digital monochrome doodles of Atlas and Chief Jr. on grey backgrounds.

In the first image, Atlas is holding onto the umbrella, that has turned inside-out due to strong wind, while being dragged along and scrapping his heels on the ground. His eye is closed and he has a strained expression. Chief is stood in the back with an unimpressed look.

In the second image, they are stood together with Atlas holding the umbrella over Chief. They are both looking at one another and blushing, with Chief’s tail wrapped around Atlas’s. The rain is hitting off the umbrella and Atlas. Under this illustration is a smaller one, showing Atlas and Chief in the same poses but with their tails separated and their umbrella obliterated after being struck by lighting.
