The boys have finally done it! Shep, PB, Rye and Pumpernickel have put together an album of 10 all-new, original tracks! This is a big undertaking for them, as all of Let's Get Back!'s previous releases have been either compilations of covers from various artists or whole album covers of one band's album! They're a pop rock/punk rock band, so I love the direction I went with the cover and the song titles, which you can see below along with some more info about these pieces!
Their tracklist (which would be the back cover of the physical album) consists of:
Conquer Reality
Fast Rising Star
All About the Ride
Radiation Situation
Tremendous
The Crush-Down Phase
Hurricane Hunters
Parallax
Maximum Overdrive
Horizons
I've had a lot of these song names just sitting in a notes file on my phone for like, over a year now. Whenever I think of something or come across a word or phrase and I immediately think "Oh that'd make a dope song title," I write it down there and they just accumulate over time lol. I have a lot of potential album names as well but those are for another time haha. Of course, this is all just for fun. I can't actually make/play/record any kind of music irl, so it's just a fun thing to think abt. The vibe I was going for with the drawings is like a paint-blast portrait thing where people stand against a wall, an air compressor full of paint gets blasted at them and leaves their outline on the wall. It was fun to work with the silhouettes here as well, since that's something I've only really done once before too.
I have another idea that I wanna attach to this that you guys may see in a day or two, so keep an eye out hehe
Author's Note; Rye may be my favorite of the bunch lol

NSFW CONTENT IN THE EXTRAS!!!
Name: Rye
Gender + Pronouns: AFAB Agender + Ve/vir
Sexuality: Panromantic grey-asexual
Occupation: None
About: One of Leo's followers, ve're a free spirit. Ve joined the cult under the promise of traveling the country and even internationally. Ve love nature and plants. The freedom of the cult lets vir be happy-go-lucky and do what ve want. Rye's outgoing attitude and cheery personality attracts others to vir.
Ve treat everyone around vir like they're vir close friends and always offers a shoulder to cry on and a helping hand. Ve're one of the more persuasive members of Leo's cult, often on accident. If you ask most of the recent members, they'll tell you that they joined because of Rye.
Extras;
Vir pinterest here
While writing for vir I've been listening to Oak Trees by Daniel Nunnelee and it accidentally became vir character song lol.
Rye romances Kegare, that's it lol. I made Rye specifically for my favorite boy ❤❤
Ve can often be found sitting in trees, on high walls, on roofs, on the roofs of vir van, just strumming vir guitar.
Rye is a voyeur and likes food play. Likes humiliating vir partners a bit and overstimulation. Has a size kink as well, in relation to virself; ie ve like taking toys and cocks that're bigger than you think ve can handle.
Nature-y kind of person. Would probably have a garden if ve weren't traveling.
Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with? (Rye)
Rye has one similarly aged sibling, Lexi. Lexi's about 7 months younger, and she's adopted. They're in the same friend group, but they aren't close friends.
She's a gardener who gets seeds and other things from saffron's farms, they help because she rarely leaves home and needs to eat well, she lives with a spiteful cat named wheat. Rye works as a game art director and spends most time playing games herself. She uses Juniper's delivery service very often because of her solitary lifestyle
Her favorite other character is lotus because he's non judgemental and can cook well
Here's another piece from my backlog of art that I still REALLY like lol. For a while now I've attached a specific color to each member of Let's Get Back! (which are the spotlight colors you can see in these pieces) and used those to have some fun with color palettes here haha. Also still rlly happy with the variations in pose and expression for each of them, it helps get their individual vibes across pretty well I think
This piece was inspired by a promotional image Beat Crusaders put out for their single Let It Go (my fav BECR song btw hehe) which is included below the cut if you wanna see it :]
Lae’zel is the last person I expected to accidentally romance but. Apparently Rye is a big enough asshole to catch her AND Astarion’s eye LMFAOOO NO WAY!!!
Again I had to decline her offer… Both my parents and my grandma were intently watching me play the game 😭😭💀
