#The NEW artstyle mimics how I did my dollhouse stickers cause it's cartoony and 'my own'

Project: IYKYK more bts this time bout Arz (The red sweater one) Once again beware spoilers if you care lol TW talk of drugs and their effects, abuse mention

Arz (Don't ask bout the name. I can't be assed to rename them but it's related to my deadname. But it's also like, 3 letters so idrc XD)

Yes they're pulled from my time when I was in the 3ddsworld fandom. (censored to not show up in tags I'd feel bad). If you recognize them, congrats you've probably seen me on the Red Army Amino roleplaying and stuff. And if you were there, Much love I miss that amino, I had a lot of fun :P

Obviously their story is changing a bit cause I gotta disconnect it from that show, idk how much. The setting for the story isn't that important rn. As it is, they're in a violent group or something. Fucked environment ig.

SONGS: Red Sex by Vessel and Farewell by Bernth (Good song btw very pretty plz listen to it) (Yes they're both instrumental songs) The two songs are very very different but that's perfect for Arz. The first song will explore their relationship with other members and the group/world in general. The second song will explore them leaving that environment and falling into despair (This leads to the next characters story Jackson, Noah Jackson)

Since the songs have no words, the instrumental relates back to the emotional side of the story, so if you want an idea of the emotional listen to them :p

STYLE OF ART: Cartoony but gritty. Also has a pixelated effect, i really want to show that this is a dark world but also very very much not real. Since the setting isn't all that clear either (And it's more the people around them and the emotions that matter) the background take on more of a trippy, non-diegetic style. It's gonna be a bunch of patterns and textures and what not.

Fun notes/Symbolism:

Will there be presence of drugs in the story? Yes. Sort of using them to represent my own personal struggle with substance use, especially to cope.

They also just represent the "Bad Boy" I wanted to be when I was younger XD Never would happen I'm too much of a goody two shoes but hey, a look into my edgy middle school subconscious

S.L. ends up creating this world, as their way of changing one of their past decisions. Seeing what would of happened.

The story reflects on that fact, and shows that it would of been a different type of bad anyways.

The first song will parallel S.L's story as well. From this [REDACTED] will be fully revealed as [REDACTED] which will also tie into [REDACTED] (maybe on that last redacted) I want to show the strong connection between their two stories.

Reason for the backgrounds just being trippy as well is (i'm lazy) and to give it that intoxicated feeling. The relationships they have are intoxicating and abusive, with people and drugs.
