finally listening to malevolent podcast y'all like so much. gotta say for someone who controls a total of two tiny organs and zero limbs, Mr. Demonic Ride-Along is a lil too comfortable being a bossy ass bitch

Stunning

still Losing my mind over Harlan playing my game on his birthday spooky stream yesterday not once but TWICE….so here’s a compilation of some behind the scenes and concept art I had for my Malevolent inspired game, D.S al Fine for those that were interested:

yapping alert because this project is my child

First, for the audio enjoyers, I found some old unedited versions of my improv sessions on the piano! with these I cut into and created the ambience for the game as well as the ending track.

some Faroe sadness that didn't make it in fully (also the beginning sounds incredibly like Kayne's motif from wager is that just me???):

this was my first concept art I think! I was insanely hyper when I got the idea to conceptualize a malevolent game, it was like 3am, and I knew at its basis I wanted it to explore what happens right before the show originally starts because I was still a relatively new fan at the time and the ambiguity was incredibly interesting to me

originally I had the plan to make an animation of that, the fingers going into the eye sockets, but unfortunately to execute it im not skilled of an animator yet for the time I had…

early (June 2024) version of the office

yes the office took basically my entire 2024 summer break from college (may-august) because I simply could not stop adding details

along with the king in yellow I actually modeled the piano myself too :) hell of a learning curve

the way I felt my spirit ascend to another plane when I realized Lester pianos exist by the way

a glimpse into my insane note taking/concept method

of course I've been an artist first my whole life so I'm very visuals/atmosphere first, mechanics and motives later kind of game designer

ominous wip of arthur's piano room

kiy concept art. when in doubt take a screenshot of your game and draw over it if you need to 3D model for the first time!

this was concept art too

last but not least:

and other drabbles (I reaaally didnt want to model a lamp alright)

(original comic by mhuyo on twitter)

been having a repeated experience lately

[dandelionbomb]

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

GUYS I have a new favorite person

Some years ago (never mind how many) I picked this up at my high-school's library discard. I never opened it. I found it recently at my mother's house, and, recalling the Offspring's fondness for Moby Dick, the Wellerman, the Sea Beast, and all stories of whaling, decided to bring it home.

This book is AMAZING.

There is so much to unpack here. DID HE HONEYMOON ON A FLOATING WHALE CARCASS?? Why is his wife so small???

This man is the real life Ishmael and wants to fistfight Herman Melville personally. I think I am in love.

So I did what any of us would do and looked him up on wikipedia...

Scottish biologist, cool cool, scientific expeditions, sweet, my kind of guy, science fiction writer, yes -

FATHER OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY

!!!!

...which term he coined...

Wrote the seminal works on Bigfoot, Yeti, and Sasquatch! WAS ATTACKED BY A GIANT BAT!

FOUNDED THE SOCIETY FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF THE UNEXPLAINED

He may have also been the first person to propose Space Whales 🐋 💙💫

I. I love this man with my whole heart. This is who Thaddeus wants to be when he grows up. I need to read all his books. (Especially the Abominable Snowmen one omg). Holy cow is this who Professor Travers is based on??

Anyway look at this delightful chronology of Whaling:

In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.

I approve of powerscaling discourse only in utterly senseless contexts. I don't give a shit about which shōnen protagonists could beat up which other shōnen protagonists, but I will 100% read your five thousand word essay exploring the subtle nuances of establishing a tiered ranking of the Smurfs.
