Terrible Misplay

play touys with me

[stormyboi7]

played inscryption and got really inspired to draw fanart again! pumping that shit straight in to my veins atm i might draw some more later some alts + sketches under the cut

[stormyboi7]

i took the switcheroo week as an excuse to finally try my hand at some scrybeswap designs! got a bit carried away as you can see, i love doing character design so much

decided to keep their species/major design elements fairly consistent (e.g. grimora's makeup, mag being vague and indistinct, leshy having nonhuman legs, p03 only having one arm) while still switching up their aesthetics as needed; super happy with all of these as a result!

design notes for each scrybe under the cut! def open to any further questions or curiosities, i always think way too hard about characters while designing them lmao

P03:

scrybe of the dead: i went for a possessed tv vibe; he's still mechanical but those bones do have a living soul trapped in them...also shoutout to @squid-hug for suggesting the x-ray machine, i was very tickled by that lmao

scrybe of beasts: overgrown old bot was kind of a given for this one, but i was also thinking that the plants are part of what's keeping him running somehow

scrybe of magicks: the magic eye is the core powering that top monitor, and the two side monitors display what he's seeing with that eye at any given time

grimora:

scrybe of beasts: she's a witch! like a chill terry pratchett kind of witch, she works with a lot of herbs and such; also her makeup is meant to mimic blood drops

scrybe of magicks: magick grimora is more of a warlock type, her magic is a lot more sinister and she almost never opens her eyes (whereas her third eye is basically always open)

scrybe of tech: tech grimora is kind of a wacky machinist-flavored dr. frankenstein; she inscribes by writing on circuitboards!

leshy:

scrybe of the dead: this leshy is a gargoyle/vampire hybrid! i thought a mirror would be fun for him bc you can get two different cultural refs; medusa (bc stone gargoyle), and the idea that vampires don't appear in mirrors!

scrybe of magicks: i decided to make him a bird guy (kinda harpy-esque) bc he's basically a more whimsical baba yaga hermit; the baba yaga thing carries over from slavic folklore obvs. also he has polycoria!

scrybe of tech: tech leshy was super fun, bc he's steampunk! rather than animal legs i gave him digitigrade robot legs, but other than that he's the most like, normal human guy here probably lmao; despite his well-adjusted appearance though i still think he's got a bit of freaky wonk in him

magnificus:

scrybe of the dead: this one was very ring-inspired lol, got those clump of hair you found in the shower drain vibes

scrybe of beasts: bush magnificus real! i think he'd be a bit more quirky trickster fae in this form

scrybe of tech: one of my favorites; tech mag is an emaciated cyborg draped in so many loose cords and wires that you can't tell what he looks like anymore. a lot of those cords are connected to him, and he plugs them in wherever as needed! he also has a drawing stylus, making him just an average art student tbh lmao

"Stop Shaking" Played and 100% Inscryption for the first time and I loved it, Leshy is living in my head and the Skull Storm run for Kaycee's mod was a blast

[stormyboi7]

Finished this game a couple months back, doodling this creature for the first time

[stormyboi7]

inscryption/Leshy fanart I made around May. Leshy ended up being one of my favorite characters in the game when I first played it. So, I just knew I had to draw him. Hopefully I’ll make more fanart of this game when I have some free time

The 4 Scrybes

[stormyboi7]

[stormyboi7]

a lot of meta art tries to have its cake and eat it too, it calls attention to its own fakeness but still expects the audience to be invested in the setting and characters as if it was a regular story. you can’t do both. if you’re going to break the viewer’s immersion, you need to write the entire story around that.

it’s been said before, but Inscryption is a game that handles breaking immersion very well. it starts with the player taking the situation it presents at face value; one where Leshy is an unambiguously antagonistic figure with murderous intent. but then Inscryption reminds the player that this is just a game, and they learn that Leshy knows it’s just a game, and he knows we know it’s just a game, and at no point does he actually intend to harm us. this serves to recontextualize his entire character, but it wouldn’t be possible if the game still expected us to care about its constructed world.

the game doesn’t ever walk back on this, either. in its second and third acts, the role of the villain shifts to P03. P03 is an antagonist who eschews immersion. he’s not an obstacle for the player to overcome. he’s a self-aware, independently thinking being working towards his own goals. he’s not unpleasant to Luke because the story has written them to be enemies but because he genuinely hates the guy.

you notice how after you defeat the last uberbot, act 3 just sorta…ends? convention would dictate that you have a battle with P03 to cap off the adventure. that’s what Leshy did. that’s what the original Inscryption would have done if it didn’t get interrupted. but what would be the point? P03 doesn’t care about the game. his goals span beyond the confines of the floppy disk.

you stop playing a game when you’ve gotten everything you want out of it. but Inscryption ends when P03 gets everything he wants, because he’s the one playing you.
