I'm Kainé.
generic punk cryptid that never shuts the fuck up, she/her or it/its entp 7w8, & 20 of god's own years. i like ffxiv, drakengard/nier, kamen rider, dune, and rimworld a lot.
inks for oddworld rpg. these guys are my favourite playbook example characters i think. i have a couple more of these to finish/colour and then i can get back to the actual book stuff
I was recently hearing about some sort of Pony Virus, and I was thinking - what would happen if this virus was in Oddworld? So I decided to draw it, and-- Guess who I used to do it? That's right! My favourite Munch! :_) Naturally it was for fun and out of pure curiosity, no Munch was harmed, honest!
I also still have the drawing without colouring and with colouring :
And then I realised I'd made his head bigger than I wanted it to be. Failure :_
If anyone would be interested in the topic of infection, well... I'll promote and draw more! And also at your request I will draw your characters during this infection :)
Yaaay, three of them on one picture! That was fun to make but I'm still not so good with backgrounds so I hope it isn't too ominous because of that colors
more oddRPG art. filling out pages. i could keep going indefinitely w/ drawings and do a bunch of item art too but if i keep adding to the pile of stuff i have to do it'll never get released lol
I barely have an idea of what I was doing the whole 6 hours that I spent on this. Gotta make fictional mentally unstable people happy
I'm seeing a pattern in me ending up with comfort characters/pairings that are not healthy at best in canon, and you can imagine how it goes sometimes counting the fact that I'm a fluff addict. This is literally my first hetero pairing that I got obsessed with. The only thing it took is for one of them to be an animated object XPP
ANYWAY, I want to believe that Para's content with Aba being calm and actually wholesome for once ghhskhghjkh. Also I'm definitely projecting some stuff on Aba (On them both tbh), have pity on me
Someone asked me to draw them as furries and OH BOY WILL I DELIVER, JUST YOU WAIT
Am I thinking too far into this, but is this the actual design idea behind Paracelsus and A.B.A ? Not only that but was their dynamic flipped and subverted across the games as time went on?
A.B.A was visually designed as distinctly pale, anaemic even, her blood described as tinged with mercury. Her original theme song was called “Quicksilver” which is another name for mercury. She was very passive originally, easily influenced by Paracelsus. This fits the motif of the ‘White Queen’.
Originally, Paracelsus was the ‘active, volatile’ one. Described as a demon (motif linked to sulfur), actually having a form called the ‘Sanguine Gale’ (hence red) and obsession with blood that also brings in the concept of red and volatility. His fits those aspects as the ‘Red King’.
Paracelsus for better or worse, was the first living thing A.B.A ever encountered and his relationship and manipulation of her has shaped her.
Then by STRIVE, their dynamic has flipped.
Paracelsus is now passive, literally sludge. Officially described as a weapon that has new true form and takes the form defined by the emotions and desires of its wielder. As I was informed, in Jealous Rage, the words on his half of the form nearest his head is Azoth, the alchemical name for mercury or the ultimate solvent. He has become the White Queen of the two (omg the yuri Paracelsus fans were right…)
Meanwhile A.B.A is all volatility and rage. Being the definitive active force that disrupts and defines Paracelsus’ very form. She has become the dominating Red King now.
What does this mean, what is Daisuke’s vision? If we follow the goal of the alchemical concepts at play, then the goal is the marriage/union of the Red King and the White Queen to form the rebis, the magnum opus.
Oh wait looks like that might actually be a goal in Guilty Gear too
