I did some doodles for my imaginary racing game, here’s the current roster! The whole theme is chaos and no rules, and i’m pretty confident these guys fit the bill. It’s also fun going back and updating them and coming up with alt color themes too

[dnrue]

“Guys, quick, we need to attack the gaping rip in reality or else it’ll like, explode or something!”

(No not really). Anyway, I was super proud of the watercolor-ish effect here :)

Also also, this is a tiny bit of a comic i’ve been drawing. Haven’t said anything about it until now because I wasn’t sure if it’s good, but I’m starting to really like it and feel excited for the plot i’m coming up with! So look out, I’ll start posting pages soon-ish and we can all notice it getting better together in the future :)

Also I post very slowly, so try to be patient. The comic’s for fun, so I only work on it when it’s not a chore :p

But yeah! Sunshine Squad coming soonish!

Cannot convince myself to go to bed so i made a crunchy animation

Her name is Theworry and her favorite color is yellow and she is nice

Why is she surprised? She saw a dog. The end

And the cleaner crunchy version (which is not Gif)

[dnrue]

Metal sonic ova (very rough) doodles because i love this gremlin

Also! My handwriting is small and messy so uh i entirely know its not very legible

This is from the alternate dimension wherin he does not die

Also in this dramatic plot shadow roasts metal for like the entirety of adventure but they eventually become friends

+generally uncut and unedited very rambly dialogue thats basically “free will is neat”

[dnrue]

Well, i suppose you- WHAT IS THAT

(Every time i’ve played where’s perry this cutscene is consistently broken, i love it lol)

And yes it still moved “normally”- even though the code/sprite sheet? is mangled somehow

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BANAN THIS IS SUCH AN HONOR

also i dont have an ask comic so in the meantime its a chill ‘watchu up to?’ kinda thing

But yeah thanks!! The banan has been metaphorically placed on my cat and she seems fine with it.

[dnrue]

Merry Christmas everybody

(Posted coupleo days early why not)

Effective and beautifyl starring my bois

[dnrue]

Lol remember moodboards here’s mine

[dnrue]

IT’S YEE!

Aka Humanised characters from Dinosaur Adventure/ Abenteuer im Land der Dinosaurier

It’s an interesting movie lol

Also i assigned them fantasy species because Peek (Yee in italy) is clearly a goblin and everyone else had to match

Big funny laugh haw haw moment where recently a friend and I were watching Wish.

At the end the Goat character says somthing along the lines of “My wish is to make a utopian city filled with animals wearing clothes!”

I immediately blurted out “Animal farm.” While my friend said “Zootopia.” We looked at each other and both said “Oh, that makes sense.”

[dnrue]

Okay, but.. Fae with an ipod

[dnrue]

When you have two wolves and both want to post songs onto yt but one is a genuine heartfelt song about loss of your other genuine heartfelt song and the other can’t decide between a clown song with the prominent sample of “my son cry.mp3” or a midi version of hall of the mountain king and the instrument is 808 sliding bass followed by the same song again but the instrument is then a strange synthesizer trying to be a 2017 pop song and it’s all voices going “AEIII” and its supposed to be aesthetic but it just make you cackle

New Oc just dropped and also beware the cut

So uh i wanted to kind of detail her character but the more I explained it the more one dimensional she seemed so ill try to keep it short.

Essentially, Dark Mystery (called Myst for short) is an android who wants to do a good job by fulfilling her purpose. She doesn’t really know what her purpose i s but it kind of shows as her being very rule oriented and insisting she isn’t a human. She struggles with knowing how much emotion she should express, and really just expression in general, and she spends a lot of time overthinking about it. She gets annoyed/tense if anyone brings it up because it bothers her so much. She kind of assumes she HAS to be distant (even though she’s just kind of like that by nature) and she’s concerned that if she isn’t distant, she’s a bad robot. And also she thinks its funny to make people uncomfortable by staring at them blankly so ya know it can’t all be a deep internal struggle. Anyway-

Kind of a representation of that is how she dresses. Kind of traditionalish, kind of casual, but mostly kind of that freshly ironed uncomfortable kind of look of clothes that exist solely for show. Myst prefers to wear long dresses but dresses herself otherwise because she thinks her creator would like oddly professional staged uniform outfits. She’s never met her creator but doesn’t question this line of thinking.

Also she is kind of playfully teased by the main characters into going on adventures with them. They get used to her not wanting to break any law whatsoever and looking at people blankly and they end up figuring out her comfort zone is. Kind of the sad thing is that she does want to interact with people, and doesn’t like being alone, but she’s socially awkward and frequently can’t convince her own programming to do something “with no point”.

Also there is a version two of Myst (I nicknamed her denim) where she does move to the city and opens up more. She still overthinks things, and struggles with interacting, but she does get a bit better with expressions. Here, she’s convinced by her friends to try out ~self expression through art and stuff~ and she doesn’t really get it but she tries anyway. Here she dresses casually but never fully customizes any of her clothes or anything. (See previous of not really understanding self expression). Also she changes her neutral expression to a more tired/chill look instead of blank staring. Also Denim and V1myst talk to eachother through *dramatic daydreaming sequences* to figure out the question of How Do She Feel and What Be My Goals Rn and Should I Playfully Insult Kelly.

So uh yeahhh! I didn’t really change the sketches any so I hope it’s legible and good enough to demonstrate my point

Trigger warning for scary stuff. (Trauma, horror, murdering robots, random anecdotes) Also this is a long rant.

I have a love-hate relationship with the horror genre.

Cause on one hand, I love Invader Zim, Coraline, and 9. I guess those fall more under psycological horror?

But the moody colors, plot, character dynamics, and clear thought put into worldbuilding is so cool. I read a book with (pretty sure this is the wrong word) but melancholy theming with stars and purple tears and roses and I thought it was neat. If my obsession with my little pony and cute characters didn’t win over i’d probably be goth (is that the right grammar? Anyway)

On the other hand. I was traumatized as a kid from FNAF. I still can’t stand it today. I hate those roblox horror games. I hate that scps, creepypastas, and other scary stuff typically has no warning and is advertised to children. Just the concept of a monster with no morality or soul that will mercilessly hunt you down and kill you and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

And i can perfectly understand that a lot of people like that stuff! It’s fun to come up with stories, and I myself have tried to do horror characters (i’m not very good at it and i stopped cause it makes me remember all of the above). But it still bothers me. Years later. Like years ago I accidentally clicked on quite a few youtube videos, not really knowing the extent of how horrifying it really is, with no clarification if it’s even real, cause sometimes its hard to tell. And i still get this today! I like listening to iceberg videos because of the facts and for background noise, when all of a sudden at the bottom there’s a fact about dead puppies or something and im like .. what?? And then i think about it for weeks and I have no rest- And the horror stuff can very easily change the way you think about things and it takes you years to realize. I thought I was going to be eaten alive when I was asleep when I was loosely EIGHT. I developed a weird thing with eye contact cause I hated when my dolls were looking at me. I probably had a couple extra years of playing ahead of me that got cut short because I was scared. I went out of my way to design a line of dolls that had blindfolds. I still have the concept in my digital art folder somewhere. Every once in a while I have a weird thought or strong aversion to something random that later I realise stemmed from the whole thing. Half the time I don’t even like to bring it up and I just mention it vaguely. (It’s hard cause my bff’s little brother keeps trying to show us videos of whatever bloody monster is recommended to him) (ive been trying not to overstep but it feels like i have an oppurtunity to save baby me from the same fate when i know its not like that at all.)

And another facet to the whole thing is that I have an interest in robotics.. like I still flinch when the halloween robots at sam’s make eye contact with me. Yet I love ye olde robot entertainment restaurants for the characters and electronics and engineering, and even down to the vibe of the red curtains. How is it even possible to love something that scares you to your core?? I think i’m mostly over that part but I still wonder about it. Also the Rockafire Explosion is great and I have a headcanon that Mitzi broke the rear axle of her boyfriend’s car. Mini’s line delivery in the version of the song adds to the headcanon that she’s innocent but Mitzi is just like that (tm)

Experimentally I made a game exploring the concept of robot mascots in disrepair that DONT want to kill you but are a hazard because they’ve been abandoned. And this was in coding class in high school, where we used Alice for some reason. Anyway the game wasn’t very good but I failed in my point because litterally the five other people in the class were teasing me that it was fnaf when that was not the point.

(One person really liked my game though, and he came up with speedrunning categories like Void% [there was a fog effect] and CatsHead% because there was a glitch where if you stood behind the cat character at the right angle, the head deforms in a way that isnt possible using just code [the game engine was Alice, ther version we used was the 2004 one lol] and it crashes the game. It was kind of funny and I kept crashing the game cause I was having a hard time with the whole thing (exposure therapy I guess?) and it was the only thing that stopped my fingers from going cold. Anyway it was really cool that he liked my game even though it was glitchy and half finished)

So um I rambled a lot but my point is that the brain is a weird thing and people should not advertise horror to children. Also please be kind and give proper trigger warnings please, other than (This is scary! If youre a wimp turn back now!). Also i proofread this like ten times but im worried something bad will happen? Why brain do that?? Is this an ominous warning or because i just dont like talking about this stuff??

Im in a bit of a low mood today I guess but here’s a very loose doodle of a conversation I imagined eating chicken nuggets once.

(Oh also its transparent in case it doesnt show up right)

(Its a free coloring page i suppose)
