"Határvidék" by kazuya84 - Futuristic cityscape intertwines with organic forms, a Buddha presiding over the intricate chaos.

HIIIII you feel like the right person to ask abt this (esp since i originally heard abt 3d workers island from you). do you know of any horror stuff that's in a similar manner to that? clicking through old webpages and stuff. i'm not sure how to explain it but even if i didn't really Get 3dwi i really liked the experience of it

Hmm... I'm not actually sure if I can think of much else along these lines, aside from, like, lomando.com—though this differs considerably in its sort of "adventure" style gameplay, and it lacks the linear story that 3dwi.scr has. There's almost certainly something more alike out there, but I don't keep up with web horror that much... If anyone else has suggestions, I'd like to hear them as well!

I've sort of developed a strange relationship with the concept of "realism" in the things I make.

Something I was very into as like, an eleven year old (im not implying this was immature to be into, just that it was formative for me), was speculative biology specifically for dragons, and now, specifically in the case of dragons I find a lot of attempts to make them biologically plausible fully missing the appeal of dragons at all.

Thinking specifically about the supernatural elements of JoM and where the line is drawn. The dagnyds are made from the remains of godlike entities, and are not entirely earthly animals. They have a supernatural origin. It would be fully justified in giving them magic abilities or making magic an aspect of the setting, but have absolutely zero interest in doing so. It doesn't interest me. I think about shit like healing powers or glowy energy attacks and my reaction is just "what does this even add? Why do I need this? Does this make things more interesting?" And it simply doesn't. Healing is more interesting as a prolonged process, combat is more interesting with teeth and claws and metal and blood. These are options which are more realistic, closer to real life, but the realism isn't what makes them interesting: it's physicality.

When I design a creature for this world, I am not thinking about making it biologically plausible, and yet, I try to design things which look like they could 'move under their own power'. There is a sense of heft and mechanical "soundness" which I value more than realism, but often also aligns with looking 'realistic'.

I would say that it's better to serve a narrative than strive for absolute realism, but I don't actually write stories, although I do have ideas for them occasionally. I guess a version of this which is more relevant and applicable is that i prefer to strive for a particular vibe.

I hope you all know that everyday I feel the intense urge to cry

And everytime that happens all that emotion almost immediately gets funneled into making rise angst

Like this isn’t even of my own volition it just h appens

Club Furies Premiere: Hugo Rolan - Visión Humana [Abstract Mechanisms]

“When techno is in your DNA you don’t need any additional translation to understand it”. That’s the starting point for Hugo Rolan, a native of northern Spain, Asturias, where he has been exposed to techno and futuristic sounds since his teenage years. In his maturity, he has mastered the language to perfection. He has been DJing for two decades, staying under the radar in the local underground…

Digital Circus AMA Notes

Digital Circus is getting a season 1 at some point!!!!

#webcore aesthetic board for the series design

Pomni was going to be a frog originally. 🐸

90s toys Zooble inspo

Caine is an antagonist, but not by active choice, he doesn't know he's not helping. He doesn't feel a whole spectrum of human emotions (he's an AI).

"Caine canonically just lets things happen if he thinks it's funny."

Characters eat like Chao in Chao garden in Sonic. The characters can eat the food, but they can't digest it.

Jax's favorite food is spaghetti.

Pomni likes salmon.

Q "Was the ending a 'Last Supper' reference?" A "in a very superficial kinda way yeah." Religious stuff is sometimes just used for the funny.

Gooseworx tumblr sketches MAY or MAY NOT be canon to the series, so it's up in the air for every single one.

People can abstract from feeling too much pain if it breaks their mind from it being too much. Characters feel pain from things, but not as intensely as they would in real life.

Zooble is gonna swap parts every episode (implying they have spare parts) except their body & head.

Jax chose his own name & gooseworx likes to think he chose Gangle's name.

Ragatha was named "Emmy" originally.

They (the cast of characters trapped in the circus) can't change their clothes but Caine can. It's part of their skin sorta kinda.

There's empty space under Pomni's hat because video game model physics.

Spamton was partially inspo for Caine, Caine's VA did Spamton dubs.

Gangle only has 2 masks. Why's it (her hapiness mask) break all the time? Mental state, but the "real her" is "harder to break."

Kaumfo was gonna be part of the main cast originally before Jax.

Kaufmo's model has nothing below the waist at this time, but was made for that promotional image on twitter.

Q "What kinda person was Kaufmo?" A "He was the same as Ragatha in a sense, goofy & cheery, sometimes toxic levels of positivity."

I'm paraphrasing for the sake of note taking in real time, go watch the stream playback for more context & details if you want.

[Not sure if this needs to be mentioned but Killer’s skeletons showing, not in a weird way!]

This has a few imagery/symbolism things in there, especially with the flower and the three faces. This took me a while!

Swap and Color are just hiding in the moon-

Killer Sans belongs to Rahafwabas, Color belongs to superyoumna, Swap Sans belongs to P0pc0rnpr1nce, Cross belongs to Jakei, Ink belongs to Comyet, Horror belongs to Sour Apple Studios, Nightmare belongs to Jokublog

"ABSTRUSE" - acrylics/ink on watercolour paper, A4 (+ some digital colour correction) - August 2024

[stillskywriter]

Long ago, a star-faring civilisation decided to build a space station of unparalleled size and power, in close orbit to their sun, Avalon. What happened to them is a mystery, but the station, named by its creators as Fort Galfridian, was never finished – its work crews abandoned centuries ago.
