alright gamers it’s time for spotters’ quest memory lane tour!
for those who don’t know, spotters’ quest is a webcomic i tried to do when i was 15 that made it. actually longer than i thought it would. 8 pages in and then i said “this sucks” and tried to write it as a novel instead. that made it about three or so chapters, so wahoo!
anyway <3 the basic premise was that it was about a group of seven characters convicted of various crimes who are given a chance at redemption if they can recover a rare artifact that isn’t even confirmed to exist! problem: it’s located in what is essentially hell, and it’s full of what are essentially demons inspired by the seven deadly sins, each of whom has weirdly personal beef with each character.
also they’re all animals b/c back then i wasn’t confident in my ability to draw humans.
anyway, i won’t share any comic pages b/c that’d be a lot. i will share some of the random misc. art i did though!
also i’m tagging @wherearetheplants​ and @rosesandartss​ and @albatris​ if y’all are ok with that <3 you showed some interest so. welcome to the pit.
full disclosure, most of this art is from 2016-2017! and all of this was drawn with my laptop touchpad in either mspaint or firealpaca!

[Image Description: A headshot drawing of a black-furred animal character with a skull for a face similar to a rat’s. They are wearing a Santa hat and a speech bubble next to them reads: “I do not understand.” End ID.]
Christmas 2016! A holiday piece that only I thought was funny, featuring the main antagonist of the story: Death themself! My favorite joke to make about Spotters’ Quest was just the concept that like... yes, Death is the main antagonist. But also they’re essentially just a weird parent who’s out of touch with their kids and desperately trying to be hip despite not understanding anything about pop culture.

[Image Description: A fullbody drawing of an animal character similar to a lioness, though they’re fluffier and covered in stripes that gradient from dark to light. Their tail is jet black and hairless, ending with a snake-like head full of teeth. End ID.]
May 2017! A design for one of the minor antagonists, the demon Gluttony! Fun fact, Gluttony was one of my first genderqueer characters. The concept for Gluttony was that they were constantly starving and they latched onto Sere, for reasons I don’t fully remember. But their tail mouth had acidic saliva <3

[Image Description: A two-panel comic drawn in MSPaint, depicting a cat character, wearing a collar, and a fox character, wearing a collared shirt. In the first panel, the cat sits on her haunches and holds up a paw while the fox looks at her incredulously. In the second panel, only the cat is visible as she holds up her paw and smiles. The dialogue is as follows:
Panel 1:
Cat: “Like, you know, nyah.”
Fox: “What?”
Panel 2:
Cat: “Nyah.”
Fox: “Stop.”
End ID.]
October 2016! A little comic of Tas and one of the guardian spirits in the tunnels, a kitty cat named Fortune! Not sure why I drew these two together specifically when they didn’t interact that much in the story, but I thought it was funny at the time.

[Image Description: A drawing of a blue snake character with a lighter underbelly lifting her head and looking towards the viewer as her mouth hangs open, releasing a cloud of swirling blue gas. The drawing is shaded very darkly. End ID.]
July 2017! A concept drawing for the demon Sloth, represented as a massive serpent who breathed a noxious gas that would suffocate any who breathed it in for too long. She latched onto Ketter, if I remember right, but I don’t really remember my justification for that.
Tumblr media
[Image Description: A drawing of a brown fox character wearing a collar decorated with cracked red stones. She has a sneer on her face as she glances offscreen. There is a shadow beneath her, with no background. A speech bubble next to her reads: “How dare you say I play favorites. I hate all my children equally.” End ID.]
May 2017! This was a concept doodle/shitpost for Tas’s mother Urica! I was working through some things at this point that I don’t really want to talk about, but just know Urica was NASTY.

[Image Description: A drawing of five animal characters ready for Halloween. In the back is a large, black-furred animal with a skull for a face similar to a rat’s, holding a pumpkin full of candy. Next to them are four much smaller cats: A pale grey cat wearing a lion costume, a white cat in a sushi costume, a black cat in a pop-tart costume, and a darker grey cat in a witch costume. There is a shadow beneath them, though there is no background. Brown text on the image reads: “Happy Halloween!” End ID.]
Halloween of 2016! A little drawing I did of Death and the guardian spirits all ready to go trick-or-treating! :> From left to right: Fate (dressed as a lion), Truth (dressed as a sushi), Fortune (,,,, nyan cat), and Chance (dressed as a witch). Once again the lack of a size chart for these characters meant I was going off of vibes--Death is fucking massive and the guardian spirits are all the size of regular cats.

[Image Description: A headshot drawing of a brown fox character in a collared shirt, facing left with his eyes closed and his mouth wide open. He is shouting, indicated by the golden speech bubble next to him, which reads: “I’m Gay!” End ID.]
July 2017! A shitpost of Tas that’s a reference to something I don’t even remember that well. Also playing around with the style of speech bubble I ended up doing for this comic, which in hindsight was kind of a nightmare for me. Color coding and hand-writing text with a touchpad....
Tumblr media
[Image Description: A red sketch made in MSPaint depicting two fox characters with their faces pressed together. The fox on the left has large ears and scars over his left eye and his muzzle, while the fox on the right has smaller ears and a scar on her muzzle. Both foxes are smiling, and there is a small heart above them. Red text on the image reads: “I want it all, no, nothing less.” End ID.]
July 2016! A sketch of Shiro (left) and Ketter (right) that I never finished, because I used to really ship those two! They were cute and soft and pure and I just loved the concept so much. Still do tbh- Shiro can have a big fluffy gf who loves him. As a treat.

[Image Description: A Valentine’s day card featuring a brown fox character with large ears and green eyes. He is smiling nervously towards the viewer, outlined in gold. There is white text on the card indicating where to write the name of the giver and receiver of the card, and orange text below the character reads: “I’ll be brave for you, Valentine!” The background is pink and there is a darker heart behind the character. End ID.]
And to round this all off. I don’t remember when this was drawn (I wanna say Valentine’s day 2017), but I made a bunch of cute little valentine’s day cards of the Spotters’ Quest cast. Here’s Tas <3 Sweet lil man. Also yes as u can see the size of his ears changed very often when I drew him.
Anyway thanks for coming on this journey! I’m really thinking about Spotters’ Quest now holy shit-
