wooooahhh hyenas

[glitchplight]

finally, a new digimon world style model! its dinobeemon!

I wanted to make an idle animation that is a lot more dynamic this time around, and I am pretty happy with the result

made in crocotile3d and animated in blender3d

[glitchplight]

you are an imitation of an imitation

a little late but happy digimon game announcement!! you can bet I have been SO excited

wwhat is project synechiae why is it so beautiful ogmygosh

I am so happy you are interested in it!

project synechiae is an original story idea that I eventually want to actually release into something real, though thats a pretty far-off dream for now and I am still pretty early in figuring out the logistics of it and developing it as a story. it takes some conceptual inspiration from shin megami tensei games, specifically nocturne, and others like resident evil 4.

the basic premise involve these sort of interdimensional parasite creatures. I actually drew a little conceptual doodle of them but its still so early and thats prone to changing

they are mindless parasites; unlike other media there is no mind control or really any manipulation of personhood whatsoever, because instead they rely on natural human behavior and socialization and community to proliferate and advance their life stages and species goal

if anything, they actually help their hosts by making them stronger and giving them powers (extremely vague at this stage) to defend themselves with. These sorts of "powers" are actually possible because the parasite amplifies the host's "self" into something tangible and usable, I guess you can see it kind of similar to "spiritual" power but its not exactly that. A shallow argument can be made that they are actually more mutualistic symbiotes than parasites. but they re not thought of that way by the characters for several reasons, one being that their existence is felt as inherently violating, especially for those more affected by these changes. a second reason is because, while they aren't typical mind controlling parasites, they do influence and nudge their hosts behavior based on the kinds of things they give or do to a person. a third and very big reason is because they are probably responsible for the world "ending" and becoming a sort of strange in-between surreal space that operates on different rules but I can't get too into that yet.

as for the second point there, these parasites are vaguely eusocial in a way, they just again rely on human behavior instead of doing any of that stuff themselves. there are these "queen" versions of these parasites, choosing their hosts pretty arbitrarily, and rely on airborne proliferation. people that naturally start gathering together for protection and support will naturally become parasitized, especially as other parasitized people start getting stronger and more capable of protecting people

about those people with those "queen" parasites though: they have more access to power than other people, and their bodies are also in a constant state of mutating, with the parasites increased amplification overwhelming their bodies. these people are stuck in a strange position where people are incentivized to gather around them for support and protection and possibly pedestalize them, or alienate them (part of the parasite species's goal really, the point is to let people themselves weed out anyone unfit), and the story I want to make focuses on these particular characters and everything they never asked for and how the world is shaped because of it.

whew thats a lot of me explaining the premise. lets talk about the characters, starting with sinclaire, who has had the monopoly on my mind

I haven't actually gotten around to posting these drawings of her yet but it bothers me to use the older stuff because she's not drawn fat enough.... oh well

anyway, there is a lot lot LOT I could say about her because I think about her most of the time but I will try to keep it brief. sinclaire (she/her) is actually more an antagonist in the role of the story, though will probably be the deuteragonist to isaac and their story who I will talk about later. I am talking about her first since frankly a lot of the premise and structure as well as the aesthetic of all I am going for comes from her

she is a 38 year old american-born vietnamese woman, who got parasitized and had the mutation center around her spine. she is actually not very far along in that mutation though since she has found a way to repress it... at the cost of some side effects. she is actively resentful of what has been put on her and wants no part in it beyond destroying the conclusion its hurtling towards, but that doesn't mean she isn't exempt from influencing others though it or can really fully resist the things it gives her. disdainful even before everything went down, and highly neurotic in a way that spurs a lot of her meddling.

one little but maybe important personal fact about her is that she is left-handed, but she wasn't naturally so from the beginning.

other than her, we have the second most focused on character in my mind, isaac, who is an actual protagonist

I have also never posted this because I have never gotten around to drawing a lot of them on their own but so it goes

Isaac (they/she, you see me use "they" a lot because I talk about them too much wrt sinclaire though). 33 years old or so, egyptian, born in america as well, and raised jewish. Isaac is rather nihilistic, secretive, laid back, and is shown to be a notorious shit-stirrer and enabler as things go down. they are not content just sitting around and trying to survive, and at the end of the world as people know it, isaac would much rather get involved in the things they want to stick their nose in and find out the things they want to know, even at the cost of backstabbing or abandoning those that have helped them they aren't a particularly moralistic person

in particular, they end up quite fixated on sinclaire and everything she starts messing with and a lot of their story focuses on that and how that develops.

to isaac, relationships are often like a game to them, and social conventions as well as people with power are meant to be maneuvered around for their own personal gain. in a way, thats meant to foil sinclaire's own disdain, taken on a different form. the way these two characters react to their alienation and diaspora as well as their views on power and who has it is an important part to their relationship.

those two are who I have most developed both as characters and visually. I do have one other character with a conceptual design so far, but mostly because I was throwing things together in a collage style to get a feel for where I want to go with her. so her actual design is far from concrete but, here's joaquina

50-60+ year old mexican-american woman (she/her). a widow who is strict and demands respect. the ability to repress the parasite was actually developed mostly for her sake, though she uses a lot less of that than sinclaire in the end as she comes to terms with making use of how things are now being a necessity

because of where the mutation is for her (her head and everything there), I am particularly excited in her story's focus in what its exploring in what it means to stay human, as well as breaking down the identity of a person who is older and more established in what they were, and what the world was. I don't have too much else to say about her yet.

other than these, there is another pretty important doctor character named gemma, who is connected to joaquina and sinclaire. and there are some other concepts for other characters but they are pretty vague for where I am at so thats most of what I can say for now.

the last thing I can talk about though is my dream presentation format for project synechiae. if I somehow manage to wrangle a coherent plot out of all of this and manage to put it on paper, I would love it to be as a visual novel similar to the silver case, which is also a huge inspiration to me

maybe not the same detached surrealism in the writing, but the presentation for sure.

thats all very very far off thinking for an idea only in its infancy. but anyway thanks for reading this far if you have! I hope any of this makes sense and thank you again for anyone that has any interest in it all

long time no digimon 3d model! here's one I've been working on a long time for a digimon thats been dear to me since it released

xiquemon! made in crocotile3d and animated in blender3d
