#ec-4o!cypher

[spotaus]

Decided to sketch out (and partially redesign?) this old set of designs from Ec-4o.verse!

These are the main four members of Abyss' gang! Cypher, Fellswap, Swapfell, and Paper Crane. They're all semis (guys who are part-robot) and they run a biking gang out in the wastelands!

Here's the old version:

I obviously changed up some heights and minor design stuff, but in general they stay true to the original vibes ♡

What's your favourote Ec-4o moment?? (Remembered that epic scene you drew a lil while ago)

I really like this ask. I'm not gonna do any doodles for it, but I'll have to say it's probably between two scenes I have planned.

One isn't technically a moment, but it'll be any time Abyss' gang (Abyss, Cypher, Ganz, Blackberry, Razz, or Paper Crane) get involved with the main cast. Whether they're just bringing back stolen parts in the middle of the night, fighting monsters on the horizon, or directly protecting the group and escorting them as more and more enemies lock onto the location. They're just really, really cool! (Plus their base is an old gas-station and they're the prime example of an apocalypse group :D)

The other is probably the pre-story where Geno gets injured and becomes a Semi for the first time. (Spoiler Territory Here) He's the guy who singlehandedly stopped the war after helping with it unwillingly for so, so long. He played a careful game of chess, sacrificed so many friendships and broke so much trust, and wouldn't have survived his plan if it weren't for a creation he was planning to destroy. (Said creation later drives his only trusted friend a bit insane.) I have a lot of fun making all sorts of plot twists and terribly angst moments for these guys, but this one is my all time favorite!

Bonus scene: In the oldest version of this story, Killer's big secret was revealed a lot earlier on. Aka, Dust shoved his hand into Killer's eye-socket and screwed in a little L.E.D. bulb. And it WORKED. Originally the bots call him out on it, but this was how they confirmed it, and this was the funniest and stupidest lil draft I have in my docs for this project lmao.
