For my final ever knitting/crochet project I completed a little baby Talita from @jayrockin's comic Runaway to the Stars as a gift for my husband. I'm so pleased with how she worked out!
This week on Runaway to the Stars. I'm still undecided on whether I want to ping social media every time it updates, or do weekly updates like this. And also whether to do short cropped posts with a link, or post full comics... so I'll try some things out and see which feels the least weird to me. Leave a comment on the site to make my day 👍
Functionally, this book is a back story to a lot of the shorter comics I've posted to social media. It will probably contain a lot of characters people haven't met, and be missing some characters people might expect. It'll be interesting.

A bug ferret alien from @jayrockin’s Runaway to the Stars universe, sewn in February 2022. They like to be colourful and dye the white shapes along their back!
i'm a huge fan of @jayrockin's runaway to the stars universe, and i figured it was about time to make my own ocs!!
these two are roommates at a jovian university. the centaur is aul-waral (he/they), a homeplanet centaur who took a keen interest in human literature, and is currently majoring in jovian lit. the avian is ipsauwitt (she/he), a polar avian raised offplanet by his brightparent and dunparent, who chooses to reject a lot of avian cultural norms. she's majoring in structural engineering.
the best term i can think of to describe these two is life partners? sometimes their relationship is romantic, sometimes it isnt, but theyre sticking together through it all.
The Runaway is a z-pinch fusion torchship with a habitat module that experiences approximately 1g during engine burns, and microgravity when the ship is docked or maneuvering. The living space adapts between these two conditions, though cooking is definitely more challenging without "gravity"...
The crew run The Runaway as a rapid transit vessel, taking passengers and goods in between wormhole gates throughout local space. Talita is the lead engineer, Idrisah and Gillie handle port paperwork and translation for avian and bug ferret languages, and Sirawit handles food and supplies acquisition. Bip, the ship A.I., handles the very important task of being a pest (and driving the ship around without killing everyone inside).
