lb_lee: A glittery silver infinity sign with a black I.S. on it (infinity smashed)

Mori: Okay, I kicked Rogan's dilapidated ass off the front and unlocked a lot of our old-as-dirt DeviantArt archive, which was started back in 2003. (We started this project weeks ago, all because we wanted to unearth the twenty-two-year-old fanart we did of Sam Kieth's Zero Girl in honor of Kieth's passing. Rest in peace, old man!)

An inked and colored pencil illustration of a cornered teenage girl gripping a shattered laundry machine door in front of her like a shield. Ominous shadows fall over her.
I also took the opportunity to hork up a huge chunk of old-as-dirt Infinity Smashed art and upload it to archive.org. It's about 160 pieces from 1999-2011, everything from little sketches and doodles to full illustrations, all in chronological order. (I guess if folks want newer stuff all in another big dump, I could do that?) It includes the first art we ever did of me, Biff, Grey, Mac, Bob, and the only art we ever drew of Rawlin pre-2019.

Because we used to draw on enormous sheets of paper, image quality varies a LOT. (If you're dying for a better copy of some of these, feel free to ask, but...) Most of these characters, settings, and plotlines no longer exist and haven't in... shit, twenty-plus years. A lot of it has aged exactly how you'd expect.

I dunno who'd want access to our old juvenilia, but if you want it, there it is. If you want all our archive.org works, here's the list.

EDIT: sure, why not, gonna just upload some of the old doodles here.


Grey in a slashed-up uniform, holding an adorable green critter by the tail. She seems unimpressed with its cuteness.
The first art made of Grey ever, January 2004.

Rough pencil sketch of Biff in his early twenties, wearing a leather jacket and a white-passing vanish.
August 2004. This wasn't the first Biff drawing ever, but it was definitely one of the better ones. He was in his early twenties and whitewashing at the time.

rough pencil sketch of Rawlin. Her hairstyle is instantly recognizable, her skin is dark, her ears unusual, but instead of her mask around her eyes, she has enormous muttonchops, which she never really had.
August 2005. This is the sole art we have of Rawlin, pre-2019. We were desperately trying to remove the obvious fanwork influence, thus the lack of mask and weird mutton chops. (In reality, she's completely incapable of growing muttonchops or the usual human facial hair.) Her hair never changed though (well, til she recently grew it out.) Her ears are actually pretty close to that now!

Grey doing her I'm-not-angry-my-face-is-just-like-this stare, and Bob looking like he's pondering what snarky thing to say next.
December 2006. For a long time, this was STILL the best art we had showing Bob's personality.

Bob grinning and giving two middle fingers to the world with a FUCK YOU VERY MUCH attitude.
November 2009. This was also one of the better ones. (Rogan says it's funny it took him so long to be able to draw Bob right, since now he's WAY easier to draw than Grey is. Go fig.)

extremely rough doodles of Mac, in full straight boy mode, with his girlfriend at the time, Jenny. They're smiling at each other.
May 2006. Extremely early art of Mac, and his girlfriend at the time, Jenny. (If I remember right, it was in the writing spiral that explicitly stated he'd asked us to do something like this.)
