So, I’ve been reading Problem Sleuth and Homestuck recently. And I went and looked at a huge amount of AMAZING Spades Slick and Problem Sleuth art by Sannam, http://sannam.tumblr.com/ , (seriously, go look at it, flipping BRILLIANT (no, I don’t feel any shame about mentioning this fact)). Then yesterday, all unassuming, I put on a light green long-sleeved shirt with a white tunic over top. And the first thing that popped into my head was ‘Hey, I’m wearing Problem Sleuth’s colours!’
After that, there was no choice but to draw Sleuth and Slick in Renaissance clothes. None.
So, here we have Perceptive Squire and Sorcerous Scoundrel. Squire’s keys turn into crossbows, which is why he has so many (suckers take a long time to re-load). The feather in his hat also is supposed to be able to turn into some sort of Ultimate Weapon made by his friend Philosophical Inventor, to be used for some World-Shattering Attack of huge proportions, but he’s never used it, because Inventor isn’t sure it would be a good idea. To be honest, Squire isn’t even sure it’ll do anything, but hey, nice feather, might as well hold onto it.
Scoundrel isn’t actually a very good sorcerer, that’s more Devious Dastard’s expertise, but he can work with shadows a little, and he’s good at summoning sharp objects, and he’s REALLY good with the sharp objects…
Any thoughts on the concept or art in general?
