happy pride !! idk who that guy on the far right is he seems scary
#madness combat#madness combat oc#oc: zero#oc: rory#forgive my absence. been having another one of those self-deprecating 'no one need to see my dumbass art' moments LOL#i need to stop caring about perception and just draw. god damn#but also part of that is a) DELTARUNE TOMORROW and b) I've been working pretty heavily on that guy on the right.#i hope i can share stuff about him soon but. deltarune. auugueue#BUT i'm very excited to show him when he's done cus I've been wanting a new character for like. two months but ideas haven't really stuck#two of my lovely friends have helped me a ton with him heehee#oh right this is technically a non-canon interaction but this was a bit easier on me time-wise#i would like to revisit this with the full zero/2bd - rory/sanmos and. well. the final guy when he's done. with someone. eehheee

AWUUUUUU YOU ARE SO LOVELY OH MY GOODNESSS WAUUUHUUUU!!! Seriously I had to do a little double-take and a little happy pace around my room before properly reading cus every time someone puts aside time in their day to write something so kind and lovely and sweet it just idk. Reminds me to be more grateful firstly but also just so amazed and overjoyed that people like what I do!!! It's scary but also really really awesome and validating!!
So thank you ecliip, you are always very sweet to me whenever I'd share my art so I feel doubly appreciative and happy to know you genuinely enjoy what I do and put out there!! I feel like I have a rather odd way of perceiving this world and interpreting canon/characters so it genuinely means so much to know that you like it <3
And EWUEHUUU THANK Uouuoeg............. it genuinely amazes me whenever someone likes my art that much!! It's so hard to imagine being one of someone's favourite artists, but it makes me very happy. I am sincerely very humbled and flattered!!
EEEEEE RORYYY WUU omgggg you drew him so WELL THANKYOU!!!! His fluffy features are spot on and I love how he's holding his tie... and his tail wagging UGHHH my poor heart. You've really made my day with your incredibly kind ask, thank you so much <3

Getting you started on Deimos and Rory, please talk about them I'm so curious
-💻🌌
Aw, you're always very nice and thoughtful to reach out like this HEHE, thank you!!! It always means a lot :)
So Rory and Deimos came from the same AAHW facility - real cream of the crop type, the upper echelon of training and quality in clones and sleepwalker programs and the like. One of the Auditor's real pride and joys, and a lot of good quality Soldats and Engineers came out of this particular compound. This made Rory a real outlier when it came to being "printed" wrong, but he was good enough of an Agent to not be slaughtered and remade. But he stood out, and not in a good way.
He never got on with his superiors. He hated the AAHW training and none of this die for the Auditor's cause chase down Hank Wimbleton stuff made any sense to him. He wanted something different, and he only doubled down on the notion when Rory began to discover and explore his heart's desire and little expressions of himself. The main thing that saved him was art. His fellow Agents looked down on him, Soldats and Engineers hated dealing with him, and no matter how hard or persistently they corrected his behaviour, he only seemed to get worse.
Deimos instead conformed to the AAHW's standards, not because he desired to, but because he's just a bit smarter than Rory. Better at masking himself and laying low. But he found himself drawn to the infamously wayward person he had been hearing of, and Deimos sought Rory out one day. They became very fast friends, which is a pretty big deal for both of them.
Rory was really quite nasty back in the day, and no one liked him and he didn't like anyone else. Real nervous violent little animal type. Deimos was more casual and never really had anyone hanging around for long, trying to coast by not thinking too deeply or feeling too much about things, cus Dei was already getting the sense that something is wrong. (A certain Doc in his AAHW era only reaffirmed this). So they really clicked - two misfits against the world who needed a little distraction from everything. But they both catch feelings and dive in a little too deeply with one another.
But the thing is, Rory was spiralling deeper into a hole of negative emotion from his perpetual ongoing abuse from various sources. And Deimos didn't know how to handle that, and when push came to shove... well, Deimos let Rory down. Rory died and... Deimos had to move on.
But when Rory and Deimos reunite years later... and after the events of Dedmos, yet again they have so much common ground to relate with. A loss of oneself, a death and revival, something given and something taken, something forever gone. Their faces are no longer recognisable, their fundamentals altered, but they know each other.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known
and now these two remain.
#madness combat#_myart#madness combat oc#oc: rory#madness combat deimos#_text#_mail#lyrics/song referenced is famous prophets (stars) by car seat headrest. wanna do something nicer based on the song eventually#really really really fitting for rory and deimos#i prolly coulda phrased things better but i think this gets the general gist of them across within the context of what i was alluding to

forgive my short absence of art, i've been working on my updated artfight reference for rory!! exceptionally pleased with how this turned out. this really feels like a true encapsulation of who rory is, and how I see them! also I really need to get these finished before deltarune chp3-4 releases LOL
#madness combat#_myart#madness combat oc#oc: rory#i got a bit sappy doing these cus idk i can feel/see the improvement but all the little details and imperfections of him. his scars#his stitches his injuries his squishes and folds and muscle like he feels almost akin to a real “person” to me. and it makes me happy#i might redo zero's but hers is still pretty accurate. it'd mostly just be anatomy fixes and some stylisation adjustments. particularly#the body hair which i used to draw pretty awkwardly. but i DEFINITELY need to do a better personality reference hand for zero#cus trying to explain her demeanour/vibe succinctly to someone new i realise is quite difficult. i need to summarise my character/lore LOL

"Will you restore these parts to holiness? This thick head, broken heart, these bones.."
designs and their respective creators! most of this was on twitter so i have no idea if theyre also on tumblr OOPS hehe tagging the ones i know
@forgivemenaut <3 @fluffydeoxys @eggcrum @ecliip @menacarychamber @owlywood
this art and the caption is based of The Catastrophe (Good Luck With That, Man) by Car Seat Headrest. this song is very sanfordcore. i dont know how to explain it. you just kind of have to listen to get it.
it was fun drawing all the sanfords! he is my least favorite sq member and muscular bodies are my weakpoint so i wanted to improve on those aspects. Definitely a learning experience for sure.
missed the post where i asked for the designs and wish you also couldve joined? dont worry! i might do another one for other sq members like doc, deimos or hank in the future. so keep your eyes open for those! dont be shy :P
high quality version
#madness combat#YAHHHHHHHHHHHH DUDE THIS TURNED OUT SO NICEY seeing the sketch phases was already a treat but fuckin hell man the final result?#so fucking fire holy shit. i am always in awe and admiration of your colour work its sincerely wonderful. the light cast from the fire onto#all the sanfords and the sunset-esque clouds drifting in the sky and the orange-purples ughh. so sincere like a single moment of peace#but the peace that you'd find in nevada. its tenuous and bound to be broken at any moment but its a sliver of red-tinged beauty#and a small point but i LOVE the nexus billboard it just feels so fitting for them. both to put something like that out and also those#particular words. keeping you safe. like that really kind of was the 'ideal' central idea of nexus - a central place of safety and communit#ANYWAY. very unrelated. this is such a lovely neat piece and i'm so so flattered you wanted to include my design in it - it means the world#like i said in dms your choice of pose and action for my sanfo interpretation was SO lovely and considerate. this really feels so accurate#to how i see him. and i imagine you carried over the same thought and care to everyone elses designs too which is so lovely#AND YOU DID A REALLY FANTASTIC JOB WITH ALL OF THEIR BODY TYPES!! you should really be congratulating yourself for that#you set out to improve and try new things and i think you did so with spectacular results. very very proud and happy with this#also ugh i love the WE'RE DOOMED over the top of the bus. similar sentiments are echoed in the other place and idk it just feels#so fitting and awesome and shows how much u think and care about this setting and its cool as fuck#(or i'm at least. making an assumption that's what it says HAHA what with the dried blood on the front)#also echoing once more. i loved your thoughts on how this song fits into the narrative of sanford + this piece. really sweet

s3lf aspects lost but for dedmos do you understand me putting my hands on your shoulders . how much of him is lost. how much of deimos is still alive. how many times will sanford say remember when and deimos says sorry man I don't really. and they just have to keep going with that i auugh augr arr
#_text#deimos laid out on the couch so still he looks dead with cigarette ash burning a hole in his trousers. staring at a wall. a certain kind of#numbness overwhelming him. there's something missing and he'll never get it back and he can never go back.#but he has to keep going. especially when sanford is missing. but even getting him back is like fuck everything piling in all at once#the person that matters most to me is back but what now? so much between us has changed that what even are we now? can we overcome this?#i like to think of course they do. no matter what. but its the hardest period in their lives by far and its sooo so so difficult and its#almost like being at square one again. so much tension and frustration but they never leave each others side#but so many rekindled insecurities for deimos. am i even the same person? would sanford even still like me? what have i forgotten?#his hands work against him. he can't hold a gun like he used to. he got a hole to smoke through but he can't even really speak anymore#he can't even hold sanford like this really. he scratches skin and leaves marks and while sanford says he doesn't mind#dei doesn't really believe him. a lot of rebuilding trust but they truly have an unwavering bond that would endure anything#idk i don't think i'm quite grasping the same energy in my brain as what my words are reflecting but there's a certain#empty cold tension like something was erased and lost between them. dei looks so tired and can't even really look at san when talking to hi#dei is normally so casually communicative and now sanford feels thrown for a loop asking how dei is holding up#and dei dismissively goes 'fine'. while dei internally yells at himself about why he's acting like this but he just can't muster any of it#but sanford still hangs around. and the walls peel back and crumble down and they nurse something tentative and new#but at the very least. in that first car ride back home from when sanford was rescued dei is running on so many heightened nerves that#he almost acts normally and thank god for that because sanford is borderline freaking out the whole way. dei has to stop the car at one#point so he can just get out some of that frightened paranoid angry tense energy busting a rock open while deimos watches by the open#car door. and when sanford trails back half bloody deimos isn't sure what to say until doc texts them to hurry up.#and some sort of tension snaps when deimos sends something snarky back and sanford just bursts out laughing and something lifts for#just a moment. and they have little quiet banters and nudges at each other as they take the long drive home by red moonlight#don't even get me started on deimos and rory cus auuhgGAHHHH

OC stuff is dangerous wdym you just think about that guy and you feel things. You made that thing and it’s come such a long way like they’ve grown and fleshed out and you’re proud of them. And there’s an indescribable feeling of pride and tenderness and passion and fondness. That ☝️thingie is My Thing and I love them
#_text#put music on that makes you think of them while drawing them and feel one billion emotion and it’s like wow. hits you how much you care#each little brick placed being one more step to making them feel truly and wholly alive. something with hopes and dreams and fears#Rory has really been coming into his own lately and it makes me kinda emotional and I really do not get emotional about much#I really need to elaborate on some of it with art and just substantiate some of my thoughts and feelings cus there’s just so much#I don’t wanna be tooting my own horn cus this post is not just meant for me. it’s for anyone who’s going through their own process#of making a guy or refining an existing guy. be proud of yourself and step back to admire how they’ve grown!! you’d be surprised by#the various ways things form and add up to create something amazing and uniquely you. all the various sources of input and inspiration#that really is the joy of creation to me. and I love seeing how others characters grow and change and evolve. being part of that process#is especially deeply meaningful and important to me. nothing makes me happier than being a small part of someone else’s work#as someone who hates failing and loathes themselves deeply. I can sincerely say with my whole heart that just trying is an amazing step#put down literally anything. see what does and doesn’t work. get the feel for the kind of person they are and then refine that.#mix logic with your gut feeling. emotion with reason. use existing lore or make it up! creation and success is not linear and#it definitely is deeply demoralising at times and as someone pretty cynical about the whole thing. and who hates myself#I can say it really is worth it. your ideas are worth it and even if you don’t believe in yourself yet#the spirit of my post at least is cheering for you!! because seven+ months ago I was in a pit of nothingness and just.#making zero and putting her out there for the first time has changed so much for the better for me#I will always cheer on anyone’s OC stuff. they - and you - are awesome and should exist and be put out there#thank u for reading. this has been on my mind lately a few times so wanted to ramble

I love love love how you make Jeb's halo go spiky when he's angry / using more power
Considering something similar for my oc Finn's halo...
-🌌⭐
Thank you!! I really enjoy making elements of my designs have little emotive qualities, I find it endearing + it helps sell/convey certain emotions or actions. It also makes sense narratively/logistically, which I always try to aim for LOL
Ah yes, that's your Maker-focused character right? Why not! Not really sure about the nature or origin of the halo, but considering its got extra detail 'n whatnot it could change into some interesting shapes or forms to reflect different feelings. The halo forming eyes when angered is something that comes to mind off the top of my head. I'd be interested to see what you come up with!

UR JEB DESIGN IS MAKING ME TEAR MY SHIRT OFF LIKE THAT ONE WEREWOLF IMAGE
look usually i'm very casual on tumblr but HOLY FUCK
GYEHEHE THANK YOU!!!! I feel very happy seeing something I’ve made of a character really resonate and be enjoyed by others, especially a character I care so much about. I do feel like those pieces were a good step in the right direction in how I draw Christoff and I’m very pleased people liked them as well.
So again, really, thank you! People saying they like it and enjoy it means a ton to me and you know. I like that old man (a lot) ((((a looooot))))
#_mail#me and my friend every other day going KILL JEB#I love that image you’re talking about. I factor it into my mental imagery/vocab as the same response to smth I really like#JEBBBB (rips my shirt off)

kinda hate the way i've drawn jeb so here are my attempts to identify and rectify the problems. some progress made, I think
#madness combat#_myart#jebediah christoff#madness combat jeb#i mostly use the burial of the dead section from 'the waste land' for zero but those particular lines felt very fitting for jeb
