I made a little 3-page comic of Misha and Reeve from Sunset (vol 2, issue 51)

A 5 panel comic page of two men talking in a brick alleyway. One has brown hair and wears a tattered brown coat, and is lighting a cigarette. The other has freckles, blonde hair, and a dark blue jacket. They look glum.

Transcript:

Man 1: I figured Neptune would have snuffed everything about him out of your mind.

Man 2: They tried. But Adam had been teaching me how to resist reintegration. How to keep things back.

Both men pause.

Man 2: They took a lot.

Man 1: How much do you remember?

Man 2: I don't know. Enough.

A 5 panel comic page of two men talking in a brick alleyway. One has brown hair, wears a tattered brown coat, & smoking a cigarette. The other has freckles, blonde hair, & a dark blue jacket.

Transcript:

Man 1: But some of what I do remember, I don’t trust. I reach for a memory and hit a landmine in my head where they’ve messed with my brain and must have altered the memory instead of redacting it. Some that make Adam look abusive or toxic. At least, that’s what I think it is because it doesn’t jive with other memories. After a while I can’t tell which is real.

Man 2: I don’t think he was abusive, but you could make an argument that if you’re preemptively training your student to withstand the worst non-lethal punishment SolCorp has to offer, you should reexamine your fucking teaching style.

Man 1: That's fair. The strangest thing is when Alex Reads something from me that I don’t remember and it’s not like there’s this puzzle piece to fit into the gaps I know I have. It’s more like I’ve found a piece that I had no idea was missing and I’ve forgotten I was doing a puzzle in the first place.

Man 2: Should have fought your way out like I did. And they should have never given you a psychometrist. That was stupid of them.

Man 1: I had already done enough to earn my Icarus number before that.

A 6 panel comic page of two men talking in a brick alleyway. One has brown hair, wears a tattered brown coat, & smoking a cigarette. The other has freckles, blonde hair, & a dark blue jacket.

Transcript:

Man 2: The whole thing is fucked. Especially the LA Academy.

Man 1: They could have erased all of us along with Adam. They trained me well and trusted me with a team.

Man 2: Parents don't get a pat on the back for not murdering the children they created.

Man 1: (laughs and points at man 2) They do when YOU'RE one of them

Man 2: (laughs) I'm glad you're finally sinking to my level.

Man 1: When in Rome.

Spence is becoming a real comfort OC for me lately, so here's a drawing of them with their partner, Clay. Not from what Sunset is releasing right now, but from the Sunset 'verse.

colored digital drawing of a young couple-- one is a heavy set cis man with brown hair, a beard, round rim glasses, and a butterfly tattoo on his throat. He is wearing a green shirt that reads "run river road" and a plaid jacket. The other is a slim nonbinary person with teal hair and wearing a yellow hoodie. They are waving and smiling at someone off screen.

Sunset updates every Friday, and I even made a cover design for this week's issue. Interested in reading about this scrungly man? Check out linktr.ee/sunsetserial

Digital art drawing/cover design for a serial. It reads "Sunset, volume two issue fourty eight" by Vivian Kay and Desi Jasper in green lettering. It depicts man reclining in a grimy bathtub, wearing a tattered coat and smoking a cigarette. The color scheme is sepia tones.

I can't help but keep drawing Spence. I guess they're just my current OC obsession. They've wormed their way into the Sunset apocalyptic AU landscape, which doesn't help. Anyway, <3 uwu

Heyyy what's that? An Alex that actually aligns with Sunset vol 2 as it's being released instead of more apocalypse nonsense?? Whattt????

More apocalypse vibes with Misha and Dana. Y'all, I promise to get back to Sunset Vol 2 related art, but this apocalypse stuff is just too fun to draw and play with. Sorry! #desijasperart #art #oc #digitalart #originalcharacter #ocsky #sunsetstoryart

The other has dark curly hair, a green sweater, red shirt, grey sweatpants, and red sneakers. He is curled up in the others' arms, and they look melancholy.

Still can't seem to stop with the post-apocalyptic vibes nonsense, but I limited it to just one of three doodles of Thomas. The other two are still canon! #sunsetstoryart #desijasperart #art #oc #digitalart #originalcharacter #ocsky

colored digital sketches of a young, blond man. He has blue eyes, a cute smile, and bright colored scarf in two of three sketches. He has a tattoo of a bird. In the 3rd he is dressed in drab clothing and his tattoos are blacked out. There are three tattoo designs- 2 birds and some lilies- in the background.

Everything is stressful. I'm coping by drawing cuties. #desijasperart #art #oc #digitalart #originalcharacter #ocsky

Ever wonder what the dystopian/post-apocalyptic world I keep drawing my oc's in might look like? Probably not! But I do, and it's all built underground. (Drawing cityscapes is hard! Not art muscles I'm used to engaging!) #desijasperart #art #digitalart #cityscapeart #dystopianart
