''Spex'', #2, 1985 From left to right: Barbara Gogan (ex the Passions), Sarah Lee (ex Gang of Four), Bettina Köster (ex Malaria!) Something I just learned today is that when Bettina Köster moved to the US in 1983 and right after Malaria! took a hiatus in 1984 she formed a band with the above musicians (and two dudes) called 'In The Service Of'. I can find very little information about the band's brief existence other than the fact that they only really played in clubs in New York. I would love to have heard whatever they created but I don't think they ever recorded anything in the few years they worked together. That's a shame because I love all the bands they each came from and I suspect I probably would have dug whatever musical alchemy their collaboration wrought.

I had time to put into sketch a rough draft of how my SpamEX [[TAQUIÖN]] would look like. I need to do a ton of research about him before doing a clean ref-sheet.

Basically he has 4 arms, but they are braided in bundles of two to each side and tucked against the chest-plate. Because those arms are useless to manipulate objects (the hands are literal laser-guns that can split in half), he produces some kind of ionized smoke from the porthole filters to the sides of his skull faceplate (based on the gas used on old casino machines to fill up the lights -- he's basically constructed after old broken wild-west casino machines and software). This ionized smoke is able to coalesce into more solid things like arms and deft hands (that he uses to play his 15-player Baccarat at his casino or to drink his coffee and spirits). He's used to manipulate objects with just his smoke, and leave his real arms for when he needs to deal with foes, rivals and unruly bounties.

More about him when I get the time to develop him a little more. Thanks to the "Spam Fam" for helping me get the courage to finally draw a first draft of my SpamEX (AFTER A YEAR; I was very shy and unsure about how people would react to my "Enterrador" SpamEX...).

The poncho should have some Mexican "Día de los Muertos" patterns that I need to research later to give it a more readeable pattern to the poncho. The symbols on it (the Pique, Trèfle and Coeur) means "LIFE, LUCK, LOVE" respectively (Fortune is forfeited since he became a greedy casino mogul when he became a SpamEX). The buckle of his belt is a big Spamton NEO skull (represents his transition from the dead NEO and reborn as an "undead" SpamEX).

Anyway, I think he's taller than that Kris, but will make that ref sheet with cleaner profile data when I get the time. If I reckon well, he was made after Kris forgot to check on Spamton tangled in the wires after Kris and co. defeated him with violence. So Spamton's view on the Lightners soured so much that [[TAQUIÖN]] can't see them as anything else but mere walking SOUL capsules waiting to be pop'd...

oof I'm so hungry, I better go make my lunch... 🍝

Three drawings + two new character sheets (Scott and Ramona) on BLOM'S stream today

:3

(picture four is actually the same drawing from another stream he did earlier this year, which is picture 3)

Character sheets under the cut !

The text on Ramona's sheet is very blurry and is very hard to read. After a few minutes and finding a clearer version on twt here , here's what it says :

EYES : Going for something geometric, two triangles for upper and lower eyelashes.

PROPORTIONS : tiny torso, long legs, big hands and feet. It's based on the sprite proportions, but lengthened.

CLOTHING : Denim jacket, black hoodie, shorts, opaque tights, chunky ankle boots

ACCESSORIES : twin shoelaces around her neck, star ring (optional), star bag, goggles

-- please follow game sprites for other details. Hammer, special moves, etc.

During the second break I tried to do some research about my Spex [[TAQUIÖN]] (Barón Ludo for friends and allies). Because he's stylized after being an undead robot made from old casino machines and other broken mechanical parts, I'm still wondering his design. I found that his dreadocks (made from cables connected to his skull) are able to be manipulated and pull machine parts from his body to fabricate several make-shift appliances like an old phonograph (that plays old music) 🎵, a blender (with a ludicrous potency), a microwave, a radio, a rotary phone and an old black and white CRT TV 📺 Only one appliance can be fabricated at a time and he dismantles them again when not in use. Makes me wonder if he can make other appliances from all the scrap parts he used to build his body 🤔 Who would want to hang out with a lich Spex that stores living manniquins of Addisons in a coffin and that has Zandalari accent? ⚰️ He's so dead from his design being long overdue since last year...

For now only that. I think I've made quite the progress today with the Spamton's storefront, but now the teacher asked us to make a room for the Animal Crossing avatar, and I'm still not over with the previous character nor the storefront! Fortunately the Animal Crossing stuff is to be delivered this next 25th so I still have time for that (if nothing bad happens before that). Anyway, an excuse of blog update. Back to the grind.
