Description I posted this on Tumblr and it got a thousand freaking reblogs. So I can't help but assume it's a good piece of art. Thanks, everyone.

If you want to reblog, just do it from the original post. This way I'll be able to track the numbers.

Pasting the description from my original tumblr post:

I was watching this and thinking to myself “If Homestuck were a cartoon/anime, this would totally be its opening theme song. Probably for the second season.”

And as I pictured the opening animation in my mind, the trolls’ part was basically that up there and I had to draw it for obvious reasons. Like, you know, that part in every opening animation when a tallways-long “still” image of a character pans up dramatically as the chorus blares on?

As the image scrolls up, the faces of each troll fades in and out around him, in low opacity. And when they start dying, Karkat’s face is lined with tears in the next opening. It’s super-dramatic.

This is lovely. I imagine that Karkat is more similar to the Sufferer in nature than all the other Trolls, with the exception of Neputa.

For some reason I keep thinking this might look cool as some sort of cover art for Cultstuck... or something.

Am I weird? Or just too much in love with your fic?

It's not weird. But to be honest this particular fanart is generic enough that it could fit a whole bunch of Sufferer-related Karkat fanfic...

Hm, true.

Since the idea was raised though, would you be interested in doing some sort of cover picture for Cultstuck/Earthbent specifically? o.O

This was one of the first images I ever saw related to Homestuck--before I really knew what it was. I thought it was cool and thought little of it, until after I read the damn thing and then I spend forever looking for this image again, unable to remember who drew it. I am really happy to have found it again--this beautiful piece has a lot of nostalgia and feels for me. Also, I love how you do the perspective <3

Thanks! My first contact with homestuck was coming across a gif of Terezi's badly drawn glasses descending on one of the cinderblocks in Dave's room a la Deal With It in an unrelated lj community (I think it was capslock atla). The pic was hilarious enough to spur me to check the site out. And the rest, as they say, is history.
