Hi, just a concern with the theme poll, seems a little... meh to have lovestruck vs heartbreak (a very amatonormative theme) as a potential theme, especially when the theme poll released during arospec awareness week

We understand the concerns this theme may have caused and it was not our intention to exclude anybody from participating in Art Fight.

Themes are meant to be open-ended, so they can mean something completely different depending on the person. While Lovestruck vs Heartbreak could be viewed romantically, it could also be viewed platonically (falling "in love" with a new series, heartbreak during a friendship, etc.).

Who built your oc, Overkill? Did anyone?

Oh this is a good one.

R-10T OVERKILL was created in a large laboratory for the sole purpose of finding and apprehending a small robot by the codename PROJECT.A14, who despite her small size, contains an unlimited amount of energy and power thanks to a heart-shaped machine simply named the HEART, which acts as her main core (hence why the robot gave herself the name "Corey", she's not very creative) as she was tasked to protect it at all costs after trouble began to stir up.

OVERKILL's creator is some weird dude who's only known as "The Puppeteer", a pretty apathetic scientist who has his sights on the HEART for reasons unknown. Power hungry, maybe? A thirst for knowledge? Some super tragic backstory that explains everything (<-no.)? I dunno, I haven't gotten that far. Despite the fact that he's existed in my head since late 2020. *shrug*

But a running theme with this guy is the lack of colors. Pretty much everything central around him is entirely monochrome, hence why OVERKILL doesn't really have a recognizable color palette, save for the tiny thing on his chest (that's 1/3 of the HEART it was able to snatch from Corey during one of their many run-ins)

The Puppeteer has created a number of things, such as a substance created from a few lab rats, advanced weaponry, a violent experiment with the ability to morph into whatever it sees fit (and an unsatisfiable hunger so it needs to stay in an enclosed space most of the time) and most notably OVERKILL, of course. As brilliant as the guy is, he's no machine. He needs a loyal robot to catch that robo girl. Kind of like an Eggman and Metal Sonic type thing? But with less comedic relief.

He's always scheming, plotting something. And with his hands on 1/3 of the HEART, he's sure to get whatever he is he's so focused on. He isn't afraid to get his hands dirty or pull a few strings either.

He's awful.

Anyways here's an animation of Puppeteer dancing to Popipo

If your blog was a store, what would it sell?

Merchandise of my favorite characters, I hope.

It'd also sell art supplies and have a cute little cafe. Hungry while shopping? Go get yourself some treats and drink some coffee.

The style of the store would be whatever you call the aesthetic in downtown in arcane

What applications do you use to drawing? Or favorite brushes?

(Ahh I couldn't think of any silly questions sorryyyy)

I use ibis paint! My favorite brushes are calligraphy and my own custom brush, edited from the love pen 🥰

Other than those two, digital pen is one of my all time favorites.

Write a 3 paragraph post about Ruben. Go.

BET.

3 paragraphs is not enough you're getting more

Rueben Sondern is a knight from the former kingdom of Asphodelia. He lived and served his kingdom until its sudden and violent demise. His life began quite normally—nicely, even, but gradually went downhill until it got him to the point where he is now.

Rueben's family consisted of a lineage of highly respected royal knights who assisted in the kingdom's militaristic affairs and keeping up morale. Having a lot to live up to, Rueben similarly tried to become a beacon of hope and encouragement (and overall succeeded), but secretly found himself worried if his efforts would be enough. Growing up, he usually excelled in his training to become a knight and made friends easily, but also was a bit of a doormat in trying to keep everyone happy and liking him. He was genuinely nice, friendly, charismatic, and considerate of others, but was often afraid to reveal a deeper side of himself. His insecurities, the worries, the pressure...

Generally, his family had a kind of "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" mentality, where moments of sadness were acknowledged, but not very respected. If not for others, then at least for himself. Sadness makes you less productive, and more self-pitying, and you can't do your best in a state like that! Rueben probably would've fallen apart sooner if he didn't have a close group of friends. In particular, he grew especially close and fond of the princess (Dolores), who had confided her own uglier feelings to him. Nonetheless, they all (in some way) gave him a space to be able to voice these feelings with less fear, and receive comfort instead of dismissal.

...but then the friend group fell apart, sooooo...

Rueben slowly started spiralling, but he kept up doing the good knight stuff in spite of his dwindling mental health. As his relationship with the princess had stayed alive, they still talked often and kept each other afloat. They started considering themselves a couple.

and then he got murdered 👍

and then he didn't because the princess revived him (magic wow)

If you guessed that this affected him badly, then you'd be right. He revived and now had regeneration, meaning that he COULDN'T permanently die anymore and would recover from anything. This is... a blessing and a curse. (The princess gave herself regen, too, so now they both wouldn't die and could stay together no matter what.) While he didn't have to worry about death anymore, he did have to worry about how someone hated him enough to attempt murdering him. His best friend got implicated for the crime, but while the perpetrator LOOKED like him, Rueben was sure it couldn't have been. So... who? And why?

and then the kingdom fell like 2-4 years later. oops

he doesn't have to worry about errant murderers anymore at least??????? ...maybe. uhhh

Fast forward to the present (~6-8 years later) and Rueben is hardly recognizable. His hair's a mess, his eyes have lost their color, and he's... very outwardly sad. He's too tired to hide the depression anymore, completely lacking in the enthusiasm and vivacity of his younger years. Nonetheless, he stays a very compassionate person, who will (literally) put his life on the line for those who need it. Very... very much at his expense. Dolores encourages him to take better care of himself, but he still often ends up getting himself hurt. He doesn't care as much anymore... but he will care about his friends.

(Part of why he doesn't care as much about himself is because that way he can feed his hero complex and self sacrifice himself to a ridiculous degree just to help others. His life is very devoid of meaning he has to do SOMETHING, and his inability to die makes him perfect for a savior type role. someone help him)

yayyayayaya rben
