hitlist

[sunxrice]

hi!! time for this month's ship dump oh who the fuck are these guys

(the 2 characters on the right are my ocs !! did an outfit swap because yeah)

also

yeha

[sunxrice]

once again realizing that i can only draw one face expression. in my defense this time skyen just always looks like that

[sunxrice]

rendering practice, i cant tell if this is good or bad

please ask about this oc's lore i've been thinking about him non stop lately /hj /nf

[sunxrice]

can't wait to meet you!

concept art of the respite because i really should draw it more. everyone meet evening [she/her] and skyen [any except she/her] !! they're among the respite's staff and their job is to take care of the residents. designs (specifically skyen's) are not necessarily final and can change.

[sunxrice]

artfight prep part 1 of who knows how many

anyway hey guys here's the respite, again !!!! this time featuring a couple of new refs and one new character :eyes:, also updated eve's ref to include her height because that's something i just decided on recently

everyone meet nicey [they/any], the manager of the respite!! their job is to. well. manage the place. jay-peg [it/any] is their assistant, whose job is to do the computing work, and fill in for them when they can't work. it might not seem like it, but they respect each other.

misc lore dump

eve doesn't like darkness (she is not afraid of it. she merely dislikes it.), so she typically only works day shifts

skyen, on the other hand, is one of the very few staff members who actually work night shifts. currently, the only other one who does is nicey, because they're the manager.

eve considers skyen a best friend, and she is the only person he trusts, this is why they talk a lot

everyone's refs were intended to have moodboards just like evening and skyen's. nicey and jpeg's refs don't, partially because their vibes are pretty obvious just by looking at them, but mainly because i forgot

jpeg is 33 years old

it has come to my attention that the jpeg file format was invented 31 years ago. you know what close enough

nicey is the best manager the respite has had in a while, even if most of the staff don't realize it

at the moment none of the residents are ready to be shown to the world yet. i dont think any of you are ready for hazie (/lh), but be on the lookout for if their lore drops because they are my #1 most traumatized oc no competition

[sunxrice]

stuff i did for a map part (watch on scratch / watch on youtube)

this is a backstory thing btw !! it's all out of order though. feel free to guess what's going on

the respite + incorrect quotes

Lumina: That awkward moment when you're scrolling through someone's old Instagram posts and you accidentally comment the entire Declaration of Independence.

Autumn: English is a difficult language. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though. Skyen: You need to stop.

Lumina: I’ve done a lot of dumb stuff. Evening: I witnessed the dumb stuff. Skyen: I recorded the dumb stuff. Jay-peg: I joined in on the dumb stuff. Nicey: I TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM DOING THE DUMB STUFF!!!

(Evening and Jay-peg skipping stones on lake) Evening: It’s such a beautiful evening. Jay-peg, whispering: Take that you fucking lake

Skyen: It’s dark in here Evening: Don’t worry dude I got this Evening: (Stomps her feet) Evening: (Skechers light up)

Skyen: You saved me. I owe you my life. Evening: No thanks. I’ve seen it and I’m not very impressed.

Nicey: People are always asking me if I'm a morning person or a night person. Nicey: And I'm just like, 'Buddy! I'm barely even a PERSON!'

Skyen: (Stubs their toe) FUCK! Nicey: Mind your language! Skyen: What else am I supposed to say, “Woe is I”??? Nicey: Skyen: You have to accept that swear words are necessary sometimes.

Jay-peg: You think I really give a fuck? I can’t even read.

Nicey: How did none of you hear what I just said? Skyen: I’ve been zoned out for the past two and a half hours. Evening: I got distracted about halfway through. Jay-peg: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

Nicey: (Trying to fill out legal paperwork stuff) Were you guys born AMAB or AFAB? Evening: Bold of you to assume I was born at all. Jay-peg: I Personally Was Created In A Lab Lumina: I just straight up spawned lol.

Curz: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me? Estrella: It isn’t smirking at anyone, they’re all just imagining it. Curz: Three of us saw it, Estrella. How do you explain that? Estrella: (points at Aster) Sleep deprivation. (points at Hazie) Paranoia. (points at Daze) Delusional personality disorder.

Estrella: What the fuck is wrong with you?! Aster: Wow, you could start with a 'good morning'. Estrella: Good morning. What the fuck is wrong with you?!

two months

OCs: The Respite Prompt: hospital food, full moons, a reconciliation Word Count: 154

Summary: Evening misses Skyen.

this is canon btw!! it's not romantic but interpret as you will

two months

that's how long it's been since the last time i saw you. since the last time you were here. since they -- since they took you away. since i lost you.

no. i haven't lost you. i'll make sure of it.

the full moon rises

it's the second one without you.

i never thought i'd be counting days again.

by some stroke of luck, you're back today

i hope you remember me

i've already lost one, i don't want to lose another.

you don't want me here?

"leave you there"? what do you mean?

you don't deserve this

it doesn't have to be like this

please come back.

i don't hate you.

i won't leave.

i'll take care of you, listen to you, anything. i'll wish you a good night and bring you breakfast in the morning. just let me stay by your side.

i love you. promise me you'll believe it.

still frames (and rambles) under cut

uhhhh hi guys i animated. on scratch. which is something i had said that i wouldn't do anymore. it's funny how unpredictable motivation is

OH ALSO i almost forgot that i included two characters ive never shared here before!! meet autumn [they/she] (one with glasses) and lumina [he/it] (one with pigtails)!!!

(oh btw if these links are not openable, their toyhouse profiles are auth only at the time this was posted. i'm still working on it.)

autumn (or commonly nicknamed 'au') is the librarian of the respite. she is very collected, calm, and chill. they also are really curious and likes researching stuff.

lumina is one of the caregivers, but specifically only for daze (character i haven't posted here yet). he is #1 yapper in the respite. no i'm just kidding but he does talk a lot, particularly to evening because she is one of his close friends. also it does not like skyen very much.

cringetober #14 - incorrect quote

gonna start posting some of my (old but recent) art that coincidentally happens to fit an art challenge prompt and pretend i made the art for the challenge

[sunxrice]

artfight is done! i have words.

writing this before winner reveal so uh Yeah. my goals achievements thoughts and feelings.

bingo card

5 BINGO LETS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

goals

let's see how well i did!!!!

not lose motivation halfway through - somehow i feel like i didn't lose motivation this year, but that might be because i didn't really have much to begin with.

more interesting stuff ✅ - i made a 3d attack (7) apparently

character interactions ✅? (2, 4, 7, 10, 12)

ship art ✅ (7, 10)

shitpost /hj ✅ - okay this one was a joke goal but i Kind of did it (2)

try drawing gore again ✅ - didn't get to do anything extreme though (13, 15)

one (1) animated mass attack, probably ✅ - ended up not being animated ..... that's okay for me. (12)

experiment ✅ - i'm a bit looser with my art this time around i think

put more effort into individual attacks ✅

pieces that have story behind them ✅? i guess???

9/10 not bad

SO WHAT HAPPENED??: the actual rambley part

i made 16 attacks, which is very average compared to last year's 18 and 2022's 14...

...and received 11, compared to 21 last year and 10 in 2022 (counting character included in, not counting my own attacks).

also as a bonus: i acquired level 6 revenge chain.

SO WHAT HAPPENED??

it felt different.

i kind of expected that. i just didn't think it would feel worse.

(oh also this isn't about the whole drama thing that stirred up in other social medias and stuff, or the "commentary channels" milking the controversies as usual. that's a whole other can of worms but it's not really tied to my feelings.)

and i'm going to be honest i felt a little lonely this year.

maybe it was relative considering most of my friends / mutuals all have a whole bunch of other friends who talk to them frequently and care about each others ocs.

i've been trying to convince myself that Bro artfight is about giving it doesnt matter too much if i don't get anything back!! even just a comment or a confirmation that they've seen it is enough to make me happy!! because i get it if people don't attack back or even comment, i've been there!! logically i completely understand it but for some reason it still disappoints me!! i don't get why it does that!! what is happening!!!!

also what happened to all the people who liked jaypeg where did you all go !!!!!!!!! /lh /silly

my point is this year i was Really hoping to get some attacks of club house / respite characters, but my most attacked character is somehow still rice. i don't know why this is but it might be because they're the first character on my list (i think people assume i sort my ocs by preference, or just don't bother to click see all) or because they're my sona.

my other most attacked character is stargaze, who is a fan character, and most people who attack them aren't fans of the media. which i'm fine with but i would have preferred if you attacked a different character.

and my third most attacked character is sunny, who happens to also be my only animal / feral character this year. i guess i should have clarified that changing species is Perfectly Okay especially if you cant draw humans. i could have sworn i put that in my permissions but i think i deleted it idk why

maybe i should not have expected so much. i might hide my sonas next year.

that being said shoutout to artfight user nixthemoon for attacking oliver ily forever /not in any particular way you get the point

...and also to my mutual / friend for doing a revenge chain with me and attacking the respite guys, you know who you are <3 /p

here are the individual character attacks for the 0 people who are curious

rice - 3

stargaze - 2 + 1 included

sunny - 2

evening - 1

nicey - 1

skyen - 1

oliver - 1

all others have 0

anyway i Still talk too much
