I think about him and sigh and kick my feet. #simontheconvict #modern!simon #bootstrapsau #ironlung
Collection of drawings labelled Simon "Mars" Butcher, Veteran Convict Drifter. Simon from Iron Lung leaning his arm on one knee wearing orange cargo pants, a harness around his amputated arm, and dogtags. He's otherwise shirtless and has significant scarring around his left shoulder, right wrist, and across his nose. Second drawing shows his torso from the back with the same harness but wearing a prosthetic arm with crisscrossing straps holding it on. Third drawing is a collared leather jacket with silver zippers, pockets, and buttons, and short nubby spikes sticking out of the shoulders. A collection of smaller drawings labelled "travels light" depict items Simon carries with him, including a wallet with a chain, a comb, small deodorant, pack of cigarettes, prescription medication bottle, and a cracked phone in a thick tough phone case.

Just kinda wanted to post this one by itself! #bloodymary #leftoverlight #fanficfanart
A close up of Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary and Simon the Convict from Iron Lung, facing each other in space suits. Grace has leaned in and touched their helmets together, looking pleased. Simon has stopped ranting (text: -!) and his visible eye is wide with surprise and concern as their helmets clunk together. The text for Grace says "I got it" and Simon is replying "You... got it"

Grace knew he was in trouble, but he couldn’t really let the shame sink into him, just yet. He was sure it would hit him later. "Leftover Light" by atimefeeler! archiveofourown.org/works/83985221 #bloodymary #fanficfanart

I believe in equal-opportunity suffering, so I will keep drawing Grace in various stages of experiencing the horrors. #sinkyourteethinau #bloodymary #twscopophobia #cwblood
Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is standing hunched forwards with his arms bent and red bruises visible on most of his joints. His general pose is reminiscent of a zombie. There is blood dripping from his mouth. His left arm is held higher behind him. The ammonia burn scars from the book are red and angry, actively dripping blood from his fingertips onto the floor. His expression is intense and scary, head tilted forward with overgrown hair flopping over his left eye. He does not look like himself, his right eye is staring directly at the viewer and his expression is intense and hungry like a predator about to attack. His eye seems to glow green in the dim lighting.

“It’s kind-of a weird request.” “You stuck your fingers in my mouth earlier. Shit doesn’t get any weirder than that.” I was rereading aperture, blacked out, and this happened. I'm not responsible for anything. #bloodymary archiveofourown.org/works/828102...
Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is wearing blue examination gloves. Simon from Iron Lung is waiting and studying Grace's face while his mouth is held open by the gloved hands. Grace looks very focused as he examine's Simon's mouth.

Steal his look: Simon "Mars" Butcher (modern AU: bad boy edition). He's couch-surfing, no ride, unemployed. Just a huge mooch. He was a pretty good pilot once... then got himself discharged and incarcerated. He won't say for what but he WILL play the veteran amputee card when he has to. #ironlung
Simon from Iron Lung is standing casually with a guarded expression and a large but subtle scar across his nose. He's leaning his shoulders and one foot against an invisible wall. He's smoking a cigarette, wearing a thick leather jacket with shoulder spikes, orange cargo pants, combat boots, fingerless gloves, and military dog tags. His right thumb is hooked in his pocket and his left arm is resting against his bent knee. The hand has a lighter skin tone and the fingers are a bit bigger than his other hand. Stock images are tiled like an aesthetic board: a silver oval dogtag, a close up of a leather jacket, a few cigarettes in an ashtray, and the waist of a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit with hands handcuffed behind their back. A smaller tile is tucked behind Simon's left arm showing an arm in a fingerless sleeve that goes above the elbow and are usually worn for compression therapy, but also hints at his prosthetic arm.

The Man From Mars is now available on AO3! I wanted a way for people to follow along with the story and enjoy it in (roughly) chronological order, even if they aren't playing along on Tumblr. Enjoy! #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary #fanfiction #multimediafanwork archiveofourown.org/works/90261786
A computer with a glowing orange screen sits alone on a thin dark bed. Text on the image says The Man From Mars. Underneath is a small sample of a fictional Martian pidgin language that appears to read "Alle missiv es helpen me versa all dis xit."

I don't think he actually knows what a 'fish' is, now that I think about it. #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary
A small green stone carving of a koi fish with coins. A messy yellow sticky note below it says in a fictional pidgin language "Es obraga rak formen as parien." There are doodles notes in the margins. A cartoonish Ellie from Iron Lung is drawn with x eyes and bleeding from a stab wound with a red mouth. In red: An arrow pointed at the eel from the word "Asshol", then the word "Rota". In green: CM is crossed out and MM written beside it. An arrow points at the fish carving from the word "Verdu", then the words "Ai vie et." There is a tiny green man alien head on the left side.

Concept art for #sinkyourteethinau. You've all seen the title, you must have some idea what the horrors will be, right? #cwscopophobia #cwblood
Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is sitting at a table shirtless, his burn scars are visible all across his left arm. The scars are bandaged in a couple of places like they're bleeding and he's got an unused IV line on his right wrist. He's staring glassy-eyed directly at the viewer, licking his lip with a small drip of blood coming out of his mouth, implying that he's either eaten something or his gums are bleeding. This is a crossover with Iron Lung and there is a canister of AT-5 blood in his right hand. He is hoarding a pile of sample bags of AT-5 flesh close to his chest with his left hand. There is a string of red light floating around his body and brightening behind his head to imply he's under the blood's influence. There are blocky word bubbles with music notes behind them, implying the speaker is Rocky using the translator. Rocky says "Grace is sick sick sick. Wet ship bad for Grace. Rocky Simon go fix now."

He's got that dog in him (abused shelter dog that doesn't want to come out of its kennel) #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary #tmfmtranslationgame
Panel one: Grace from Project Hail Mary is humming and reaching for something off screen, looking content and unbothered. In the background is an open door bathed in orange light, and Simon from Iron Lung is half hidden behind the door frame looking out at Grace with a flat grumpy expression. Words in a fictional pidgin language are laid over the scene like narration and appear to say "Ada da madman es as blod as he es mad... or he siken to trip me. Taja, afta his paraka ostaven, he jes... destaven dorm jor apear. Ai kan erst him tonen, goen obaut vhitno straf! As yra he kan trust me!" Second panel: Grace has a piece of xenonite in his hands that kind of looks like a tablet or laptop, and has perked up, paying attention to what's behind him. Simon is barely visible as he moves away from the door opening. The text appears to say "Dis preson es ver disparan ot... vher ai vas. Hovan dis avas privasol an asfotag es... noy to me. Nid to bit mar vhariska. Moji dis es a test. Vhatavo his del es, am staven set."

#themanfrommarsau #bloodymary No translation needed for this entry!
Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary is entering through a scifi door holding a large duffle bag and looking nervous. He says "Knock knock! I'm back, and I come bearing-" A different drawing of Grace shows he now looks concerned, an orange led light reflecting in his glasses. The speech bubble continues "-Guuuuuuh Mary? Why is the dorm orange? Is something wrong? Is it a warning or-" Black boxes represent the computer speaking to Grace, saying 'Dormitory lights setting R 250 G 80 B 0 requested by auxillary crewmate "Simon". A new speech bubble has Grace saying "WHAT?" so Mary asks "Do you wish to override, Captain Doctor Grace?" Grace quickly continues "No no no, it's fine, I just- I just... didn't realize that was an option." A third image shows Simon from Iron Lung sitting on the floor against a wall with a blanket half draped over his shoulders. He has visible scars on his face. He is turning his head, alerting to Grace's presence and the conversation with Mary and watching warily. He has an open notebook on his knees and a pen in his hand as if he was writing or drawing when Grace entered.

Simon from Iron Lung with a large scar on the left side of his face is focusing on half of a communication device, which he is holding and typing on with his right hand. The other half of the device is half taken apart on a table. Robbie, a fan-made original character, is carefully prodding the insides with a tool while holding the battery out of the way. Robbie is wearing green goggles with a light shining on the electronics and has bits of tech wrapped around his wrist and arm to show that he's probably a techie. The artist has given him dark curly hair pulled back in a ponytail. He says "Simon, dude, you're making it move." Simon replies "Sorry, almost done." Robbie starts to speak again but the text is cut off, "I swear, if I-"Continuation of previous image, Robbie is ducking his head and jerking his hand towards his body, saying "OW- FUCK." A red spark between his hand and the table demonstrates that he was shocked or burned by the inside of the device he was messing with. Simon is jerking in surprise to look at Robbie, saying "Shit!"

We need to get some really basic needs out of the way. Simon thinks he might be a vegetarian after... everything. #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary #tmfmtranslationgame Play here! www.tumblr.com/dotstronaut/...
Simon from Iron Lung is facing the viewer and appears to be bracing his hand on something and looking a bit sick. Behind him, Grace from Project Hail Mary is smiling sheepishly and is fiddling with a dry erase marker, looking a bit nervous. Next to him a dry erase board with pictures drawn explaining that the me-burgers are made from human flesh, so it can be assumed this is what Simon is uncomfortable about. There is text down the left side of the screen in a fictional pidgin language that appears to say "Otvisly, da madman vant me xiva fer som regos, so ai get obetta. Kanno pray say no~ He sersa da zapa es obvolla, near infino... (don plask me, ai versano). Ai sik to raxion erregos, but he vas alvo vhajen me... vudno ostav erdo ai etten. So ja, ai etten an allox vhenavo ai vant. Yra yu pensa det es servego ot me, veritsa." In brackets an extra note says "Yra he es vertisano an ve do dranada dis xiob, ai vil dai afor ai ett das fuken 'burgers'..." with an arrow pointed at a capri-sun style packet of nutrient shake to indicate what 'dis xiob' is referring to.

There's a lot to unpack here, and it appears to be mostly clothes. #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary Help translate: www.tumblr.com/dotstronaut/...
Simon from Iron Lung is standing in a hospital gown looking concerned and looking down at a large pile of clothing that he's holding against his chest with one arm. There is a large chunk of text in a fictional pidgin language that appears to read "Ernsa, ai ernen mein garb! Da Madman ofer me som ot his vhen ai felt sturdy enokt to stand. Obvisly ai say no eit urst, but he yap an skryaben on da "vhitbord" erdo ai versa: He don nid dis garb, an da rag vud bit vashen erens ai vanten et..." and in a smaller note "Vas gud del, but afta maken, am les surpris... felt gud to werk vhit mein frand, erregos." There is a messy sketch made to look like dry erase markers of a stick figure that has too many clothes that don't fit. There is a sketch of Armando the robot from Project Hail Mary holding a piece of fabric in the background with a small caption that says "Mary-Robot help holten." There is also a teeny drawing of a bare butt showing from the gap in the back of a hospital gown with an arrow pointing at Simon's waist.

"Your idea is pen pals??? You want to give Simon pen pals?" #themaninmarsau #bloodymary
Grace from Project Hail Mary is wearing summer clothing and Eridian metal jewelry. He seems to be sitting on the ground, propping his head up with his hand and leaning one elbow on top of Rocky's flexible xenonite suit. The dialogue on the image has Rocky saying "Problem is Simon have no friend, yes?" to which Grace responds "That sounds mean but, basically, yeah. I mean, he has me, but he doesn't want to talk to me. And after everything that happened, I don't really blame him..." Rocky replies "... Rocky can fix. Off off off." Rocky is pushing Grace's chest gently with one hand.

And we're back! Time for a flashback of Grace getting completely squicked out. (He's dealt with skin stuff before, but eyes and bones? I know I'd be having a hard time.) #themanfrommarsau #bloodymary
Simon from Iron Lung is sitting on the floor with scars and bandages visible on all parts of his body. He's grabbing a bandage and peeling it off his face. Speech bubbles implied to be Grace from Project Hail Mary say "Wait, what are you... DON'T- ohhhhhh good golly, why would you DO that?" then it trails out of frame with "I need to go sit down for a second, cheese and RICE". There is text on the other side of the image in a fictional pidgin language that appears to say "Robot-Mary menden mein troma, but ai minen das bandaj. Da Madman vasno komfortal vhit det, but ai vas. Da skor vas yritaten."

A small laptop is open and glowing with multiple windows or messages showing on the screen. It sits on a thin metal platform bed with a dark thin mattress inset and protruding from hexagon in the wall. There are sticky notes in a few places and a small picture of mars taped to the headboard. The text onscreen is in a fictional pidgin language and appears to read "Sorry, am just... spaken to Mary es solva, regos da computel kanno pray kompensa. Alle missive es helpen me versa all dis xit." and pauses before ending with "Ai bit gracen."

Simon from Iron Lung is leaning on something and pointing a finger up as if to make a point. He is looking at the viewer as he speaks in a fictional language. It resembles english but the characters are odd and not all the words match up. The original writing appears to say "J'kay, listen. Ai tell da madman dis bitprost... am ot mars, vherno alt. Ai von ofer altamar vitken. Halt plasken." There is a tiny hand held up in a 'stop' gesture next to halt. There is a smaller Grace from Project Hail Mary in the corner wearing glasses and Eridian metal jewelry. He waving and smiling and looking very polite, with a little caption that says "madman in question".

A woman with dark wavy hair and a big white fur coat lounges in front of a large window with glowing magic swirling between her fingertips, which have nails like talons. She's smiling maliciously and her coat is riding up so you can see her long leather boots and lace leggings. A bright green and yellow dog with a long face, curly tail, and pointy ears is picking up their legs with concern as a smaller black cat-like creature with a raven's beak and feathered dives underneath. The dog's whispy fur floats upwards and turns into dark smoke and bright sparkles. The cat bird is chasing the whispy hair at the tip of the dog's tail. They are in a dim grassy landscape with dark storm clouds overhead. A confident cowgirl in a rusty orange outfit is sat astride a full western saddle on a small white horse with brown and black spots. She's holding the reins up and the horse has its head ducked and is leaning backwards, resisting the rider's control. The background is roughly painted to resemble a warm desert landscape.

Grace is NOT sick, paranoid, and unhealthily obsessed with the iron lung or the substances inside of it, whatever gave you that idea haha... and he's definitely not doing anything weird with the blood ocean samples either #sinkyourteethinau #bloodymary #charliedaymeme #pepesilvia
Grace from Project Hail Mary gesticulates at the viewer with a blue-gloved hand holding a pipette like a cigarette. He has bags under his eyes, bruises on his right arm, and his left arm is wrapped in blood-stained bandages. The board behind him is full of notes, math notations, and papers related to Iron Lung and the blood ocean. He's grabbing a paper with SM-13 circled on it and various papers have red lines and circles on them. The whole image resembles the conspiracy theorist Pepe Silvia meme.

Who are you? Can you help me? #ironlung #simontheconvict (This art is under a content label because of canon-typical gore, blood, and body mutilation. I know that sounds normal for Iron Lung fan art but wanted to give fair warning.)
Simon from Iron Lung from the perspective of someone looking at him from slightly above while he lays on a flat solid surface in a pool of blood. Simon's body is almost entirely covered in blood and his expression is pinched with pain and looking at the viewer hopefully. There are boils and veins visible all over his body but especially on his face, where his left eye is barely visible under the overgrown skin and the left side of his face is gaping open. There are teeth on the outside edges of the wound, and his human teeth are visible behind them in the gaps between the torn skin and veins. His hair is soaked in red and blending in with the splatters of blood on the floor. His right hand is raised in the air with blood dripping from it and his chest harness is barely visible under the mess. His left arm is freshly torn off and the skin and muscles are bleeding into the existing puddle.

Been thinking about the circumstances that tend to cause Simon to act out, and what the perfect storm of circumstances would be to make him and Grace like each other as LITTLE as possible. :) At first. #bloodymary #sinkyourteethinau (but also works as a standalone comic)
A sequential comic without panels. Simon from Iron Lung is covered in scars and bandages and wearing a medical smock, standing unsteadily and gripping a ladder rung. Someone is surprised by his presence and greets him with "oh, uh, hello?" and Simon's expression is serious as he says "Dump the sub and everything in it." The response is a disbelieving "What?!" so Simon continues with "The blood is dangerous! Get rid of it!" The next drawing reveals the speaker to be Grace from Project Hail Mary, wearing goggles and gloves. Rocky the Eridian is behind a barrier in the background, singing with no translation available. Grace looks annoyed and not worried as he says "Uh, yeah, blood often is. That's what the P.P.E. is for. My name is Grace, by the way-" Simon interrupts with "I really don't give a fuck who you are." Grace says "I happen to be the guy that saved your life!" The final image is a close up of Simon's face looking disgusted as he says "Good for you. I'll grovel at your feet later."

Simon from Iron Lung with no obvious mutations other than the red iris on his left eye and a few scars. He looks scared and shocked and is covered in blood splatters from the neck down, and only the top half of him is visible behind a circular windowed hatch. The hatch and details around it belong to the exterior air lock of the Hail Mary spaceship from Project Hail Mary. He appears to have just closed the hatch with his right hand. There is a bloody handprint around the button on the outside of the ship and blood smears and streaks below that side of the door.

Full body drawing of a red merman with glittery scales, long spiky fins, extra teeth, and a clawed webbed hand, obviously designed to resemble Simon from Iron Lung. The merman is swimming in a tank with artificial lights glowing in the background. He has swirly brown markings on the human half and severe scars all over his body. The markings on his face give the impression of a beard and his long, dark hair is flowing behind his head. Simon is looking at and has his hand out as if to hold a smaller human in front of him designed to resemble Grace from Project Hail Mary. Grace is holding his breath, treading water, and holding one hand out as if to touch Simon's face. There are two glowing tendrils coming out from under Simon's hair that are almost touching Grace.

He does it all for you, Grace. I propose reusing the chest harness to hold a protective cover over Simon's shoulder, and Rocky proposes that Simon stop distracting Grace from the important repair job that is only accessible by squishy human body. #bloodymary
Simon from Iron Lung leans on a metal grate with the shoulder that's missing an arm and holds a steaming mug with a caffeine molecule printed on it in his right hand. He has a soft expression on his face and is looking at Grace from Project Hail Mary, who is laying on the metal grate with his head leaning back and a wrench in his hand like he was just working on something. He's pointing and looking at the mug and asking "Is that for me?" with a smiley face.

Puzzling it out. They're at the beginning stages of communication and Simon has been drawing them pictures in addition to working through the language barrier, but it's been hard. It doesn't help that Simon has obviously had some recent trauma. #bloodymary #themanfrommarsau
Grace from Project Hail Mary leans on a table covered in creepy drawings and other papers lit by the light of a laptop. Grace has his glasses in one hand and is scratching his hairline, asking "Where the heck did this guy come from?" He is addressing Rocky the Eridian, who is looking at the table from his clear xenonite ball, who sings "Grace definitely saw the scary wet metal ship" and Grace continues "... I mean before that."

Same convict, different prison, nothing ever really changes... #bloodymary #themanfrommarsau but also works out of context
Simon from Iron Lung with a bright red eye and angry scars on the left side of his face glares at someone off-screen. His wrist, missing arm, and one knee are bandaged and otherwise he is only wearing his harness and shorts. His hair looks a bit messy and his lip is split. There are geometric bronze panels between him and the viewer, as if he is imprisoned by clear xenonite from Project Hail Mary.

they were just trying to help, simon #bloodymary #themanfrommarsau
Simon from Iron Lung with fresh blood and wounds all over him is attempting to crush an Eridian rock alient from Project Hail Mary with the mangled and gory remains of his left arm. He is clearly not in his right mind and text shares that 'his ass just woke up'. The eridian is screaming music notes and the sound effects crush, crack, and sizzle imply that he is strong enough that the clear xenonite suit is cracking and the Eridian is being exposed to toxic blood and oxygen.A continuation of a previous panel, Grace from Project Hail Mary slams into Simon from Iron Lung, freeing the Eridian alien from being crushed. Both character's faces are obscured, and Grace has a small green hypodermic needle ready in his left hand.A continuation from the previous panel, Grace from Project Hail Mary is pinning Simon from Iron Lung to the floor with his right hand and has his left arm raised with the hypodermic needle ready. Simon is throwing his hand up placatingly and vocalizing in an unknown language reminiscent of english or russian. Grace's eyes are obscured by the reflection of his glasses, but his expression looks firm and determined. In the background, the Eridian is fleeing and Rocky the Eridian is singing angrily.A continuation from the previous panel, Grace's hand and hypodermic needle slam into Simon's shoulder. Simon is continuing to yell in an unknown language, but it's similar enough to english that he appears to be saying "I don't want to die".

Have ya'll sEEN Mark's hair? Simon would feel like a different person after a mcfreakin shower. Mary, get this bloody, sweaty guy some shampoo and conditioner, STAT!!! #bloodymary
Simon from Iron Lung depicted on a pink background with sparkles and bubbles and a neutral expression. The focus of the image is his swoopy hair that looks freshly washed and brushed. He's wearing a black tanktop, is missing his left arm, and has spiky pink scars all over his body.

#bloodymary was a funny concept at first but then i remembered that they are exactly my type (first bloodymary fanart I posted, originally submitted to tumblr on May 30 2026)
Simon from Iron Lung with some neck scarring and windswept hair looking up at someone off-screen. He is implied to be sitting down or standing on a low surface, as most of the canvas is taken up by green and pink sky, which contains the text "it's hard to explain", implied to be Simon's thoughts about the person he's looking at.Grace from Project Hail Mary wearing a jacket, glasses, and a metal Eridian necklace, taking up most of the canvas as if he's standing and looking down at someone offscreen with a big smile and slightly pinched eyebrows. The background is a green and pink sky with a bright source of light behind Grace's head. Text on the background says "he's like the sun", implied to be the thoughts of whoever Grace is looking at.

Been really enjoying the fox symbolism and I've seen a couple of lamb references... but I haven't seen any where the lamb survives. #bloodymary (originally posted on tumblr back at the start of June, I've seen lamb/fox references in a bunch of new art since then!)
Messy colored sketches of a fox and lamb being pinned down by human hands, with a red Petrova line over the open mouth of the fox and a splash of blood across the eye and neck of the lamb, in reference to Project Hail Mary and Iron Lung respectively. They are labeled "Fox on the Run" and "Lamb to the Slaughter".Messy colored sketches of an adult fox and an adult ram with wide twisting horns and long, dark wool. They are facing the viewer with eyes glowing and there is a constellation of stars connecting them. Text around them says "We beat the odds but you still made the sacrifice".

mom's not home, quick, doodle #bloodymary saying lines from Xena: Warrior Princess!!
Grace from Project Hail Mary has an arm leaned on Rocky the Eridian's clear xenonite ball, who is barely in frame, and is looking at Simon from Iron Lung, asking "You can fly a ship, too?" Simon is holding a tablet and looking back at Grace to say "I have many skills." The quote is from Xena: Warrior Princess.

Grace is SO tricky to draw. I've done both stylized and realistic studies of this guy, and there are more in my files RIGHT NOW. #projecthailmary #phm #drrylandgrace #ryangosling
A series of stylized drawings depicting Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary with various expressions ranging between pleased, terrified, bashful, and distracted with a pencil in his mouth. There is a faint stick figure Rocky the Eridian in the background of the terrified sketch singing "weeee" as his ball tumbles. A series of realistic sketches depicting Ryan Gosling playing Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary. There are tiny stars and Hail Mary ships in the empty spaces around the sketches.

Some secret third thing Grace Rocky in my crossover fic??? It's more likely than you think. Bonded pair, do not separate. (They are like a cheetah and a golden retriever to me except they are both the cheetah and the dog at different times.) #sinkyourteethinau but really #phm #projecthailmary
Grace from Project Hail Mary is on his knees and hugging Rocky the Eridian in the clear xenonite ball, looking happy and relieved. Grace says "I missed you" and Rocky sings "yes yes yes grace always say this". Grace replies "cause it's always true" and Rocky grumbles.Grace from Project Hail Mary is on his knees and draped over Rocky the Eridian's clear xenonite ball, smushing his face into the top as he says "Rocky loves Grace, statement." Rocky bonks against the side closest to Grace and sings "Who told you that, Question?". Grace replies "You did,  yesterday" and Rocky says "Was hungry and sleepy. Not in right mind" followed by a heart to show he's secretly pleased with the attention.

Read a fic that put Simon in the astronaut jumpsuit and it's my new favorite concept. #bloodymary
Grace from Project Hail Mary stands next to Simon from Iron Lung, who has his hand on Grace's shoulder and is missing his left arm. Grace is wearing Eridian metal jewelry on his neck, wrist, and waist. Simon is wearing an astronaut jumpsuit with Grace's name on it. Grace says "You sure you don't want me to drive?" and Simon responds "100% positive, you're a shit pilot, Ryland." Smaller text shows Grace replying "Yeah, and?" before Simon says "...and I'd prefer to keep my lunch in my stomach today."

Grace is not that kind of doctor, who gave him that clipboard? #bloodymary (Going to be crossposting a bunch of art here, but my primary home is tumblr so come find me there if you want to see stuff as soon as I make it!)
Grace from Project Hail Mary sits in a chair holding a clipboard looking perturbed and facing Simon from Iron Lung, who is relaxing on a bed looking thoughtful with teeth in his cheek and a bandage over his amputated arm. Grace says "And what do we say when we feel like this?" Simon answers "No live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality..." Grace interrupts with a firm "No." The incorrect quote is from "The Haunting of Hill House."

This was my favorite artfight attack in 2023! Mirandimations is an absolute powerhouse that animated and uploaded their own 30 minute pilot episode of Atlas and the Stars! It's super impressive and so fun to watch after drawing these characters two years ago. youtu.be/DSV7P5Nib2k?si=bywB8dU9XRHbfCV5
Two blue and burgandy aliens with red eyes running away from blue energy weapon bullets, with the larger of the two aliens looking worried and carrying a smaller alien in a suit who is yelling at him angrily.

This is art I made for Artfight 2024! I really like how it turned out, but I did the sketch based on memory and might mixed up a couple of the character's jobs. Blanche in the bite me shirt is supposed to be the Pop Star, and Juliet is supposed to be a streamer... woops! Just play along with me lol
