2 things i drew for my partner @dreadcharged :3 !!!!!!

[askmadcomcrew]

are the hive, the ghoul, and/or gestalt sapient? or capable of speech? do they even have s3lfs?

Hive, I am uncertain of. Frankly, I was so repulsed by the existence of the project, that I read as little about it as I could. If that...Creature was sapient, then I believe we did our due diligence in putting it down.

The Ghoul is merely a robot programmed by rudimentary AI, it is by no means to be considered "alive".

Gestalt does not just have a S3LF, it has many of them. Gestalt was constantly absorbing S3LF energy, and it truly had no sense of real identity. This caused it to be...Violent, to say the least.

Nexus probably had a space program before scrapping it in favor for gestalt after not getting enough results.

i mean........ here's MY take on it

i feel like we WOULD have heard of some sort of space program by now if any organization had figured out it was possible

so although i wouldn't rule out that they've probably tried...... i feel like if anything it'd just be well-known generally accepted knowledge that such a thing Cannot happen for reasons unbeknownst to us (it'd probably be related to limitations of the machine)

but that's ALSO if we're just talking realistically because hypothetically if the nexus core DID have a space program it'd be really funny for no reason because if anyone were to do it it would be phobos and his ego

Again older art, Gestalt because i find his design neat. :> sadly not many draw him with his optional wings so i did it- honestly still proud of this

:) what characters are going to show up in the comic!!!

hmmm well of course in the abbot's story, there will be Vasilka (in the current script, not until the end). but before then, there will be some other familiar faces that I don't want to give away just yet! if you know the abbot's story in the module, you probably already know, haha 🙆‍♂️

as for characters getting their own books... we will have to see. i have plans for Baba Lysaga and Madam Eva for sure, and I'm debating on a Patrina book (she only has a bit going on in canon, and in an anthology meant to be exploring things set up by the module, it would feel wrong to explore too much built on speculation. I think the story she has going on is very much worth exploring since it has maaaajor implications for the module and for Strahd specifically! but it's hard to do that without the speculation involved in filling in some pretty big gaps. when the time comes, i'll probably ask for people's feelings on this, and on what level of canon they would like the comic to stick to vs headcanon. depending on how much speculative story people are willing to accept, Rahadin and Kasimir and Patrina would all be combined to one given how intertwined i like to make them.)

i have plans to do shorter ones for characters that have less going on but that still could use maybe ten or forty pages to build some understanding for their situations -- like Izek, the hag coven, and Kolyan Indirovich namely. similarly to the speculation situation with patrina, if people are okay with heavy headcanon, then i have a Saint Markovia one i would like to make as well. i might do these between the bigger comics as an intermission of sorts!

Strahd will be showing up since this is his world and we're all just living in it, but he will not be getting a book.

so im still confused on how exactly was gestalt a key component for phobos’s plan? why specifically was this all chosen

Gestalt was intended to absorb all of the S3LF in Nevada and The Other Place, making me a God. Then, I would recreate Nevada in my perfect image using this newfound power.
