Outer Wilds Solanum - Tumblr Posts
finished the dlc today. Fell in love with this game one more time 😭
old stuff
Little Companion (2021) This is the second Outer Wilds comic I've ever done. You can see I was still a student back then, since it's in full colour lmao This comic's inspiration was from a concept art: As I was cruising online for find references for Outer Wilds character, I found a concept art of the Hatchling drawn by artist Sojyoo, who draws them with a little plushie attached to their leg, showing "their approximative age and how they cope in space." I found this idea quite adorable, and did a little sketch of the Hatchling hugging the plushie... and with time, I thought about telling a little story about it. I thought it was interesting to explore the idea that a teenager has to live through this, and having a childhood memory by their side for reassurance. After all, don't we all feel a little bit of comfort with an old plushie? Then I thought about Solanum, who is also not quite an adult yet, and I thought that he would appreciate that childish comfort as well... I absolutely cheated when drawing Solanum's mask. I believe I drew it in 3 different angles by tracing a reference, then copy-pasted it on the various panels. If I were to redo that comic, I would've probably just simplify the mask... but hey, it looks accurate! Also, that lullaby that Hatchling sings is an actual polish lullaby. I am not good at writing songs, so I was looking for an existing lullaby that talks about stars or space. I found this one on an obscure website, and found a flute version on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orOmQPHrlp4 A little note on this comic: I technically made an error by making Solanum say that she's happy to see Hatchy "again". I wasn't that strict with the lore compared to now, and I thought that Solanum could remember their previous interactions, which is wrong. It's not a big deal, but also I don't want to modify the original dialogue, because it would feel wrong to me after so long.
Im not crying, you are
would you believe me if I said that this is my first time drawing 2/3 of these characters
Whatever happens next, I do not think it is to be feared. I admire your curiosity, friend. Let’s find out together.

Old Feathers Among Young Pine Trees has consumed me. I’m in the 3D rendering era of brainrot
Yes, the black hole and white hole actually distort light. It was awful trying to figure out how to get it to work, but I’m so proud of how it turned out!
Im not crying, you are

Solanum !!!!! My beloved wife. I bought the nomai mask pin and have been staring at it ever since it arrived. Engraved in my mind. Hopefully( or maybe hopefully not) it activates somehow and keeps my memories safe. Top right is, hatchling bringing pictures of timber hearth n hearthian culture and nomai ruins to her and. Stay there forever til they hungy n eep.
I am very normal about Gabbro. They are literally me your honor. I am an eeper. Sassolino means little rock/ pebble in italian. They call you that in the italian translation.
Litle doodle i liked they make me go ::)
And tried to de-helmet them.... thought im not so sure why is it so hard. Especially Chert. U little gnome. Patterns are derived from the rocks they are named after. Except Feldspar since we see them without helmet already.
Its so funny how i draw the Hatchling like °•w•° and the rest look like actual adults.
