[mtx-lol]

some guy told me to draw so i forced myself to finally draw some vtrals stuff

[mtx-lol]

whatever, go my (fully outdated dont look) overdesigned sepbox leads (tam goes by she/her here)

[mtx-lol]

rare instance of me being actually really happy with a design

actually gonna word vomit about it;

this came to me the mili, picosecond ive finished colouring the third redesigns which is now completely out of a date of ever seeing the sun so have fun mulling over that lol .

anyways so basically, ive discovered this technique of limiting to 3 or 2 themes for each character, to which i built apon with an overall theme for the whole media and have it paired up with the characters individual theme. ive decides to try for a more flexible or abstract dressing theme for tam, being duality since yknow her hybrid species/transitioning species kinda thing (in hindsight it shouldve been asymmetry but whatevs), the rest was roadsigns and scout.

originally it was going to be a flower, then it was going to be melded skulls and roses but just decided on a skull, the back of her head was a weak resemblance of this broken solar panel thing ? still dont know, but it was cool; this was supposed to be an attempt at symbolism of her trying to weaponise her unique kind of loneliness, being a hybrid and having unconventional origins in the sense of her childhood and the abyssals, trying to replicate a dishonering danger with the horns coming out as well, stabbing away any approachers. the weird cut snout with teeth was supposed to be the top half of a mouth but i thought it would be funnier if it was more a collector showcase base for her weird teeth collection fixation, all from the underground visits john used to take her with when she wasnt older and sicker, a rare interlude of her bleak-less worldview and dull colours.

the spikes on the skull is actually sharpened loose metal from railings, poles, machines, etc, and she uses to have more but she snapped them off when the gun jammed. its meant to be a transition from the skull to the metal plate and was meant to replicate the more grandiose version in my head.

idk if i ever properly explained the diamond earing on her left side but its an earing that john will be shown wearing and he decided to give to her as part of his family, but due to her massive fears of her ears being ripped off with it or with anything (headcanons will be supplied, soon enough), she decided to add it to her hat, which is funny because i was going to pierce her with chains but it wouldve been a) too heavy and b) reminded me too much of this guy in secondary school math class who publicly announced his thought of putting a pencil between a earring hoop, so. (sorry)

also the necklace is a variation of johns that she tried to replicate in her own style, idk if that was obvious but john is her biggest reason of and for life.

what else, uhh the yellow tape around is meant to diverage anyones attention from her face or her in general, yknow, 'look down, look away' likes shes shy guy or smthin. its her anxieties, her self-consciousness she tries to comfort with a shield of fear projected onto others, its also a self-poke like 'this girl right here is a CRIME SCENE!!!'

the weird thing over her shirt is supposed to be a ripped version of the shirt she used to wear in earlier versions, a sign of shifting unrecognisablility, breaking out yet still clinging onto the puzzle pieces for a cocoon that kept you safe in the first place. she knows shes tam, not traviler, but something in her wants tomorrow to be the day the hat is over her eyes and the trench coat is the amber touch of anyone she loved. its a drastic, dramatic life change that cant magically happen overnight, shes 22, but theres always a lingering, loose ended however.

uhmmm, she has many belts that i wanted to make into a loose replica of rock climbing belts because i think she really really really really rwalyh REALLY likes climbing up and away but i thought it would be funnier (common pattern realised) if she didnt know that rock climbing is a real profession or that she'd always would do it too tight or loose so she just gave up.

the saws came as an afterthought from this pin and i was like "whaf if she wash bug" but then i realised if i added in another theme i would have to restart and it would be over complicated AGAIN so i just did it with saws because she nearly got her head cut off by a saw and also like a little nod to her HORRENDOUS sitting positions like she would never sit straight, its either upside down, down on the side, manspreading like its a dentist appointment or 6-2 legs on the floor its quite queer of her.

elsewhere, uhhhhh, one of her makeshift shoulder pads was supposed to resemble the wings of an animal like how i originally drew her necklace but like, i kept on forgetting and kept trying something else until i just replicated the other one with less details, nothing smart i just thought it would fit her (no melted keys, she doesnt like stabbing herself anymore)

anything else...........she has a fang........ uhhh....she ripped off the oversleeves as a get back from the guy who took played with a chain on her hat while she was half awake or smthin idk still hasnt fleshed it out properly........ she is the worlds renowned owner of the most split ends (and she will finger brush through all of the knots with pride god damnit).........uhhhshe doesnt looking at mirrors.......ive made a fanfic about that....i may have realised i have a weird sense of aesthetic attraction to her.....this is a repost cuz i didnt like how little it was but now i have ensnared myself in only 2 doodles per canvas.......i am very irresponsible about my storage space but what else is new....... tam appeared right before me in my dreams................ i have taken 20 screenshots of the updated lore document of the transcribed conco between her john........ yeah thats it

theres probs more ive missed or havent come up with but thats enough words for today,

if you actually soaked in everything ive read um thanks, watch this be outdated within 3 days or hideaway makes me hide away all of my headcanons that has been conjured since december.

k byeeee

[mtx-lol]

tbh this doesnt make any sense but like whatever at this point im just glad i actually animated something after literal years of vacant projects and corpses for wips,

anyways new interest how are we all

[mtx-lol]

a little more froma bit before in reblogs soon just give me a sec

[mtx-lol]

scratches a particular area of my back to the point where it starts pooling blood like a raw amputation

i either need to find an optimal canvas size or start drawing less conciously of the other doodles

[mtx-lol]

last of my old artstyle say byebye gehehe

[mtx-lol]

really quick scp sketches before the unconsciousness drags me by the hairs

[mtx-lol]

[mtx-lol]

warmup sketches

tiny thoughts on it:

really good mod, i like the bassline/hysteria's voice as well as daniels humming, the atmosphere is a nice overlay as well as the lore, pretty cool overall, give it a shot if you like uncomplicated horror and a nice melody :)

[mtx-lol]

okay to the literal two people who wanted this first off, sorry for the life-carcass-initiating late response i was helping my mom, and second idk how to formag it so itll be a little random

hereg

i didnt where to look for the other trailers so send me an ask if you find them

also i have some pfp centric ones but theyre mostly tam and damien............if you even care............. i also made gifs out of the v8 files which is same as the virus/hivemind one but its cropped to the characters image idk if anyone wanna see that cuz i did it for all of the characters

[mtx-lol]

somes updated designs plus some guys i wanna tackle but dontbthe upper strength for....... (igor and karter is somehwat there but ignore that, for ever actually)

heres some refs ive used also:

tam yall already know alex and eliot doesnt have any cuz, yknow

dallas:

their weird little chest strap comes from this pin and parts from his old (third) design cuz tbh, i still like his old designs, it just needed some shaking off of all of the stupidness lol. he was the easiest to design tbh tho i feel like i couldve made them more something.... maybr v9 will sledgehammer me with somethjng

john john:

ghost shark images + info this was fun to incorporate and hopefully he has the shape of the fish cuz itd be boring if he was a 'human' eith scales or smthin basic, tho difficult as i had to keep humbly royal or some oxymoron i cant remember planned

oh yeah his themes was royal and watershifter, cuz pisces im so smart

betta fish crowntail refs (the thumbnail/behind the 'black' text is the one ive used cuz ive felt like if i didnt know how to incorporate the others without being stupid) also black orchid idea given by @/glowingparasite with their tags, thank you hope you dont mind ❤️❤️

damien:

demobaza's clothings from this pin and runway, dont know what collection or set the pin is exactly from so i hope the runways the same sort of year as it..........

urgh i wish i could yap about them and their designs. ut i still have yet to fully sketch them out in silly little scenarios, also yes alex isnt out from the "i should get to him" phase because i frankly have yet to properly analyse him cuz i fear i may be a hater of him for no reason other than he reminds me too much of someone im somewhat over with

anyways sorry for this absolute nothing burger, when my artblock frees me and my stuffed nose ill comeback

[mtx-lol]
