about to clock in for his shift

i love seeing people draw mutated Seb interact with human sized stuff because it’s hard to forget how big of a feesh he is

anon thank you this is a perfect segue for me to post how tall i think he is and why

so, I think he is approximately 30 feet / 9 meters long, and his human half is if you scaled a 5'10 guy up to 8 feet tall. The official length of 19 meters is just a stud-meters conversion and not accurate.

here he is, with to-scale plushies i made.. and a 2009 Honda Fit in his shop

and checkin out data on his life size UrbanPad

I'm going to be using my own model here because the devs have asked ppl to not use rips, but i referenced the seb on sketchfab to make sure all my proportions were accurate because if they weren't i wouldn't sleep at night ♥

Anyways. I took a reference picture in the game to figure out exactly how big to make my sebastian model in comparison to my shop model

Your average commercial door height is 80 inches... though they're slightly shorter in my model to look more correct to the robloxian proportioned doors+other reasons So, I just scaled him to look approximately right, and got his size from there!

I got the human size 8 feet number by just scaling up a 5'10 metarig to line up with his 3rd arm :P

these numbers are all rough approximates and not literal scientifically calculated data but I think they are correct / realistic ^_^

if i ever don't answer an ask in a timely manner it means im considering drawing it but i have a job so like i only get to draw sebastian after i get enough furry commission work done for the day

[urban-shade]

I headcannon that Sebastian has insane OCD..

like move one of the things around his shop and he will throw you out 😭

hmm i don't think he has OCD but i think he definitely spent more time than necessary arranging his shop to be perfect, I think he's a rly detail oriented guy, makes sense for an engineer! (had an older post where I go more into depth abt why i think this)

no normal person is balancing usb sticks at their workstation

my thought of him being a control freak is branched off of this, he HATES letting other people be in charge of "his destiny" even if that destiny is how his cookies will turn out

[urban-shade]

Your Sebastian art makes him look so skrunkly and huggable >< I just wanna bake cookies with him (he’d probably be terrible at it but yk he’d try<\3)

I think he'd be good at baking cookies since its just following directions but under no circumstances would he ever want to do it with others. hes making you sit in the corner and being mean to you for not helping

some intentional shape language & anatomy I use when I'm drawing sebastian to make sure he looks like himself to me :D

altho the long arms is kind of hard to remember to do its easier to just make the 3rd one shorter unless I'm posing my model for a reference

Can't forget about his antennae and secondary antennae as well. i like drawing the secondary ones falling out in moments where he's really upset or tired since he forgets to tuck them back in his ears

[urban-shade]

Absolutely OBSESSED with your work. Can I perhaps ask for your angstiest headcanons that I totallywintdtealwhatareyoutalkingabout? :3

I NEED SLIGHTLY MORE THAN THIS FOR A PROMPT like 80% of my headcanons are angsty (i will absolutely dump paragraphs if i have enough of a prompt because thats what i do whenever we get any new crumb of pressure lore)

in terms of angst my aus are way worse than my headcanons and I'm not too sure what hcs to pull up so you get au infodump since they're more like headcanons about what i think would happen in slightly diff endings of pressure instead of true AU's

also i got a little carried away this is practically rough draft fanfiction i'm so sorry

ALL THREE of my AU's actually kind of work in tandem to explore how I feel Sebastian works as a character, I think no matter what, he doomed by the narrative to never get what he truly wants or have a perfect happy ending.

I'm only going to get into the specifics of one, but the rundown of all 3

Innovation Humanization (lowkey this fic is abandoned im too busy) Sebastian escapes the Blacksite during the power outage and Innovation hijacking a sub for him, he manages to bring Painter with him. He arrives at Innovation Arctic Base, and they go through the process of bringing him back to mostly human again over the next 6mo-year. He has to re-experience his greatest traumas ALL OVER again, but this time done by people that actually kind of care about him as a human being.

This is basically my "good ending" for him, he isn't a fish anymore, but he never gets his legs back. He has painter, and he has time to deal with his trauma. (I think innovation would have a therapist, and thats really the only therapist he COULD talk to about what he went through at urbanshade, normal therapy really wouldn't work.. you need the one that works at a kooky mad scientist base. He may or may not be able to see his family again, depends how evil you think urbanshade would be (if they'd hunt them down to find him so they can neutralize him)

Instantly Human He gets to be, perfectly, how he was before all this started. But he has to escape the Blacksite. Which is HARD AS FUCK.

This is a bit of spoilers for what part 2 to the comic is gonna be but, he has to knowingly leave behind Painter to die (he can't carry a computer as a person, too heavy). That's a "choice" he has to make. He also has no evidence that anything ever happened to him. Personally I feel like not even having a scar from trauma that fucked you up that bad would be upsetting bc it's like it didn't even happen yk? But also I know it is probably what he wants.

Teleported Home Lopee teleports Sebastian back home as his "reward" instead of turning him human like the IH au. Sebastian arrives at home in the middle of the day to his mother cleaning in the kitchen. I'll get into the details after this quick rundown

He gets to see his mom instantly! He doesn't have to deal with escaping the Blacksite! But . He's probably stuck as a fish and in hiding for a whiiile until they can contact Innovation for help. He also involuntarily leaves Painter behind to die in this one as well. He never got to even say goodbye or sorry. Painter is just wondering where Sebastian went (before he inevitably gets killed in a few days/weeks). And he's haunted by that (but also MAD at lopee). He let the kid down. More than let the kid down, he could do literally nothing about this lil guy he was protecting, dying an inevitable death.

You can't have everything Sebastian… Something must suck in some way… Urbanshade has permanently fucked your life

ok now for the details on the teleported home au this is practically a fanfiction that i didn't want to rewrite into actual writing because thats hard so forgive the like, swaps between writer thoughts and writing i know its weird 😭but i hope fun to read regardless!!

SO! Sebastian gets teleported home, Lopee is nice enough to make sure he's crouched down so his head doesn't go through the ceiling.

i dont know if ill ever do final art for this so you get my ms paint diagrams i hope you can bear with me. i gotta establish the setting here, it's in SoCal, middleish of the day. Sebastian was last in the norwegian sea at 9pm (yes this is an accurate time difference im autistic)

His mom is utterly terrified and screams and runs outside upon making eye contact with him. Who wouldn't?! Sebastian is kind of dazed and confused for a moment, he's HOME, and his MOM is 10 feet in front of him. One second he was in a chilly damp concrete box with menacing facility breaking down noises all around him, the next he's in a warm comforting home in the middle of the day with bird calls and shit. That's an insane transition.

He has to think quickly and chase after her even if he's really confused, he can't have the cops called on him and his identity exposed. I don't think she would fully recognize his voice, I choose to believe fishseb sounds different from humanseb due to the experimentation messing with his vocal chords/overall resonance. But his tone is similar to her.

She doesn't want to look at this Thing that's leaning outside of the doorway of her house, but, .. he does oddly remind her of her son.. but he's been declared dead for over 12 years now.. but the hair.. the look in his eyes. He honestly looks like he's about to cry to her , subtly trembling, hunched over like he doesn't want to scare her, but his arm weakly outreached like he doesn't want her to run away.

He's entirely conscious of the fact that he really shouldn't be seen outside right now so he's trying to stay mostly inside the doorway. He went after her on pure survival instinct/adrenaline. Hes so keenly aware of how utterly terrifying he is to her right now and feeling Miserable about being a creature a million times worse than he normally is because he's been thrust into ice cold reality of what he is. Which is something that humans should be terrified of

He didn't even get a chance to ease his mom into it, she's DOUBLY scared because there's a THING/GUY in the house and not just because he's a monster

He asks for her to come back inside so they can talk, she's still really scared but wants to believe its him. He's intentionally moving slowly while backing inside the house to not scare her more.

He doesn't sit on the couch since he's worried his weight might pop the springs (even just the upper torso) so he's just curled up in a pile near it trying to make himself look as unthreatening as possible. And he's ALSO trying to calm down like he needs a moment to breathe and take in his surroundings

She walks in all the way and sees him. He's truly trying not to scare her.. isn't he.. Sebastian was sweet like that.. She takes a breath to steady herself and asks him if he wants something to drink since she really needs a glass of water to help clear her mind

"Heh.. whiskey?.. I know you have it up in the cupboard above the freezer. Used to water it down back in the day. I never knew if you ever noticed." Sebastian was intentionally trying to bring up information that would help her believe he was himself, but also he could really use a drink.. and a smoke.. but he knew his mom hated those. If only she knew he used to sneak out to smoke years ago.

His mother just looks at him with an indiscernible look. Did he say the wrong thing? His ears pin back, he clears his throat. "Water is fine, I was uh..joking about the whiskey." (felt like this dialogue i wrote was really in-character/cute so I had to include it)

I think when they sit down with their waters to talk he, he explains the entire timeline of what happened to him. And once he starts explaining the experimentation she's trying to be quiet to be respectful to hear the whole story but she is absolutely crying. And she goes in for a hug around when he hits the point where he was promoted to Mr-p.

He can feel her shaking when she hugs him, she's still scared of him, but he knows she's trying so hard to comfort him and ignore her instinctual fear.

And they continue to hug as he explains the rest as well as the lockdown and Lopee teleporting him. He leaves out any details about him killing people, can't have mama knowing he's an actual killer now.. I think that his mom knew he was innocent and he is a victim of the legal system

I think Sebastian probably goes to bed around 9-10pm every day because I wouldn't be surprised if the Blacksite had him up really early for work assignments often. So after he talks with his mom for a bit he's noticeably really sleepy because it is Past his bedtime in Norway and ALSO because for the first time in a long time he's actually relaxed. He isn't in fish prison hell anymore!

They generally just hang out for a while after talking, and he passes out from exhaustion. She tries to put a blanket on him, but he violently jumps back while also shoving her away since it felt like another expendable climbing on him. (Side tangent I think he has an unnatural tendency for violence from his fishes in Addition to anger issues caused by ptsd)

He feels awful and profusely apologizes and they make up :)

that's about all i wrote for the start of it, but i had some smaller thoughts about later on

I realized he needs to eat a LOT and it'd be a major financial strain on his mom, I did the math and his calorie needs are like ~14-16k a day (THIS IS REALLY ROUGH but genuinely calculated with formulas and like muscle volume calculations ive done + adjusted to what i think makes sense, this is the Lower end of what i think it'd be. He might need more. It'd be more like 10k cal a day if he's true cold blooded. I feel like character wise it makes sense for him to be medium blooded but true cold blooded would really help him in terms of being Alive)

She basically has to keep him fed on costco rotisserie chicken because that is the absolute cheapest protein she can get (buying a whole frozen cow is still way more per oz than costco chicken) So he costs at minimum ~1000$ a month to feed.

He would be very cognizant of this and try not to eat too much and basically half starve himself. On like day 3-4 he is noticeably really, really out of it. All he can really think about is food and his mom is really worried about him. He really doesn't want to tell her but he'd eventually cave and be like 😓i need to eat like triple the amount of food you've been giving me. so she locks in and gets him some more food. Might have to take out a loan 😭 They really try to get him to innovation ASAP after this because she really can't afford to feed him for more than a few months.

ok that is roughly about all i have so far i know that was a massive infodump but i hope it was fun anyways Um. i make no mention of his dad cuz i feel like his dad isn't in the picture anymore but there's no reasoning behind it other than i like it

[urban-shade]

current wordcount on an ask response im working on right now if you guys ask me things i will almost certainly have things to say . smiles

[urban-shade]

i love your art, especially the Human Sebastian AU! just wondering, do you by any chance take commissions👀?

Unless it is the pressure team asking, no cuz I have 3d art jobs that take up basically all of my time if im not squeezing in time for fanart 😔 ty for the interest tho!!

(if it's like, specifically some kind of a Sebastian or pressure prompt.. no promises but if I really like an idea i would be open to requests)

[urban-shade]

Some commentary on a lotta my choices here bc I love yapping and also most of the original illustrations!

So, this is meant to be Sebastian remembering his past and not knowing whether he regrets signing that contract. He would be dead if he didn't, but is this life better than death? He's abandoned his past self and can barely even remember what it was like to be human anymore.

A lot of my composition choices keep this in mind, the things he remembers most clearly, how he was feeling in the moment (eg, abandoned by everyone, including his family)(they also mean I don't have to draw people people than necessary 💀)

His most crystal clear memories being of the experimentation itself.. the only frame I actually colored in irises (realized it's kinda dumb that he's forming gills already but maybe it needed multiple fishes to get them actually working 🐟)

The court logo, symbolizes his innocence and also the court being under the influence of Urbanshade

He's less upset than you would think he would be here because at this point it's been at least a few months of legal battles and the verdict has felt inevitable.

This is like, entirely my own headcanon, but I think him having to purposefully choose to sign his life away to a company entrenched in satanism is very poignant

He's in so much pain he's "whiting out" here :) Also he has grippy socks I thought they were cute

it doesn't really mean anything but i drew a dna in the smoke lol

he has a hang in there poster in his room :3

i don't have anything specific to say about the rest of these, i just wanted to add them

Conductor call, to free the Beast. Sebastian definitely has regrets, I'd say. 🐠
