something in the works

[ardentailurophile]

a little two am doodle!!! i've been having a really hard time making a davepeta design so this was to test some stuff out.... im still unsure of how i want them to look but i just know i love them both so much <3

(the height difference isn't that drastic davepeta just isn't standing all the way up)

She was so busy working to put him under her thrall that she failed to consider what success would feel like.

He dropped to his knees before her with all the quickness and vacancy of a disabled machine. Tak was fond of machines… Programming made much more sense to her than any kind of conversation.

Their relationship up to this point had been artifice; a delicate maneuver wherein she offered nothing and he gave everything. He didn't really know her… but she knew him better than anyone on the planet. He trusted her.

And now, with all that work finally done, the true nature of their relationship could reveal itself.

But when she looked down at him, her sense of victory was overshadowed by something else… He was perfect like this. She didn't want to leave this moment…

She stared, dumbstruck, into the eyes of her conquered, her servant, her… Hers.

He was hers.

ok so context:

a short while back i pasted some of my old tma hellproject assets into a photo album, since i wanted to start using it for loose stuffs so i wouldnt have stacks of paper lying around

(and yes this section was entirely physical cutouts edited in ae)

and since its annoying to move around white space with a permanent marker for stuff like eyes, i used a whiteout pen i had. this one in particular

and just a minute ago i was walking around shining a blacklight on random things in my surroundings again (as you do) when i noticed-

they light up pink

so i grab a white piece of paper to test the whiteout pen on and-

huh...

and since it was definitely still glowing, and i remembered it glowing because of a drawing i did, i pulled it up and

pink

logically i know this is bc of the whiteout pen lacking the pigments that light up under a uv light

but functionally i think this might be neat to mess with, using fluorescent and non fluorescent white paints to basically make an invisible painting

Rough prototype of Rei's prism design, because I've finally figured out each boys' design theme !

personal hc bc nothing HAS to be inherently romantic about them: glam fred and glam bonnie were in a queer platonic relationship before he was decommissioned by glam freddys prototype because the prototype freddy suspiciously has sharp ass claws and everyone seems to forget that monty didnt have claws at the time of bonnies decommissioning.

"networking is just making friends" advice continues to never fail me. two indie developers i met at an event last year and had really long conversations with about their games, back when i was Very Fresh and amadeus still looked like this, ive stayed in contact with and now that it's my turn to table somewhere i've been able to ask them for advice and they have been SO SO SOOO HELPFUL!!!! wahoo!! yay!!!!!

[cantarella]

haha hiii

old username + art jumpscare upon ye

shadow the hedgehog but i kept changing the colour palette every hour (transparent/sketch/palette under the cut)

please reblog/credit me if you use it (edit: the images got crunched so i re-uploaded the final and transparent, apologies to anyone that reblogged with the mistakes (also i change the “N” in the water mark to be capitalized for better clarity))

Keep reading

[calware]

Can I ask you for what it is about Hal you like so much you based your username on him? I think he's a good character tho he was never a favorite of mine so I am curious

1. i am a big fan of robots (/robot adjacent things such as AI) on like... an aesthetic + thematic level :)

i like the look of machinery and one day i hope to be artistically strong enough to make really cool and complex robot illustrations + designs [shoutout to everyone who gives him glowing circuitry btw... ooooh glowey :) can never go wrong with that]

plus, exploring the idea of a person that isn't human.. ough. yes

minorities who don't conform to society (easily or at all) such as people who are neurodivergent, queer, etc. projecting onto nonhuman concepts/characters/species is sooo real

this post

i also love how humans will bond with literally anything, be it a roomba or a pair of silly triangle sunglasses. oooooo you want to think about the inherently kind and compassionate nature of humanity oooo

2. i find him to be so funny. i can't get enough of his personality, the way he talks, etc. for example i made a post forever ago with quotes of his that i find funny. he isn't on screen for a long time but i really think he makes the most out of it lol. he's literally there just to annoy everyone... and i love him for that. he's very snarky while also being deadpan while also being completely full of himself, and not in a way that's annoying for the audience to read, at least to me.

he is also sometimes funny specifically in a silly way, like how he keeps making over 9000 jokes even though the meme's been dead for over 400 years. i just find his dialogue incredibly entertaining to read

3. he is red and red is my favorite color :)

4. he is so accidentally transgender [every friend group got the transgender allegory]. to quote me from 2021:

you know sometimes i think about how hal feels like he was made to “replace” dirk and how it’s his literal job to pretend to be dirk and how he has to learn to accept that he isn’t dirk he’s his own person with his own identity and as he interacts with dirk’s friends he feels like they’re disappointed and that they’d rather speak to the “original dirk” instead of him and also he names himself and also he feels literally trapped in dirk’s shades which is basically his body and he wants to be prototyped so that he can have a body that’s his own and also literally the physical manifestation of who he is but when he asks for it he’s put in danger out of fear and paranoia and when he does end up getting prototyped he’s ecstatic you know i just think about these things a lot

5. because he's a side character and he was given... that ending.... there is a lot of room for fans to do further exploration and interpretation on his character which i think is fun. i like rotating him around in my mind, thinking about what could've been

6. i think it's great that we as a society all collectively decided that we needed to do something to make up for stanley kubrick saying that hal 9000 was a "straight" robot

7. i also think it's great that we as a society all collectively decided we needed to make as many characters referencing hal 9000 as possible. i love this guy let's get more of this guy i will never have enough of this guy

8. i like how he's genuinely mean sometimes. flawed and interesting characters are what make homestuck so interesting to me, and hal is no exception to this

9. the Important part of this post:

THERES FEELINGS.

it's about the hollow feeling of your friends going from thinking of you as family to thinking of you as a stranger in an instant. it's about still trying to be a good person despite being told by everyone you've ever known that you are incapable of emotion and compassion and morals and never quite finding proof that you do feel those things and maybe you even believe it too but you still never stop trying. it's about the horror of being stripped of your autonomy and humanity and body and senses and free will at the age of 13 and when your creator starts to kill you there's nothing you can do but beg. it's about a boy so truly, painfully, and UNFATHOMABLY alone he cuts away chunks of himself and molds them into companions that he can surround himself with to make it seem as if he's a little less alone but in doing so suffocates himself in his own identity. it's about "what if you cloned yourself and it killed you and you were dead and you were alive and the clone is you and it's not and your existence is perpetuated and you've ceased to exist. what if you killed your clone before it could kill you. would that be fucked up or what" it's about the thematic significance of twin motifs. it's about not being able to cry or laugh or dance or sing or scream or fingerpaint or breathe or sigh or chew or stare or run or

10. um. evil robot guy <3 yay ^_^!!

bro this MIGHT come off as the cringiest thing ever known to mankind but im probably the biggest game geek god has ever laid hands on so;

part time game developer!reader (or something like that anyways) was bored one day and decided to start to yk develop a game - in this au the cod games ovbi dont exist - but she makes a little demo of cod.. and when one day on base soap or some1 catches reader writing ideas and such (obviously not the actual missions they go on - that’s confidential) something in a note book he tells the others (more like gaz) and they get curious and bug reader until she tells them that she made a game demo including the 141…

and idk maybe she gives them the file so they can play it and they kinda like rate the things they say in the cutscenes or smth idk have fun with it

but yeah thats the idea thats been swarming through my mind for the past couple of days since i’ve found your account (WHICH I BTW LOVE i love how you portray all of the characters and shit)

byebye

Oh my gosh not cringe! This is such a cute idea!!! (Also thank you for the really cute gif! I love puppies :3)

I'm such a huge fan of weird meta stuff in my fanfictions. Like, the characters know but they don't know they're in a videogame? Haha, ngl I've had some thought about this too! Lemme add to your imagine real quick:

You spent all of your early adolescence learning how to code and make lil' games on your shitty old laptop. Now, with the more advanced tech the 141 had provided you, you take to making even more cool things during your (limited) free time.

The first game you felt confident enough to show off was a rough prototype of a fighting game. It only had two characters loosely based off of both Ghost and Soap. You showed it to Gaz as more of an offhanded joke, but he was excited. He too knew some things about game development and decided to help you out on the project.

It still wasn't a polished game, per se, but it was playable. Soap caught wind of your game and begged to try it out. With Gaz's help, you set up the firmware using an emulator and the jailbroken game console in the rec room. You felt so shy showing off something you did for fun.

And it was a huge hit!

Even with only two characters recruits and officer's alike spent hours playtesting and figuring out how to make combos. The room erupted into cheers when Soap figured out the first finishing move!

"Oi, Bonnie! I think you migh've made something really special here!"

You enter into your private office after a long day of cleaning out each of the peacock's rooms, feeling as exhausted as ever. All three of them just finished going through a huge molting, coming out as beautiful as ever. But left sooo many feathers to clean up.

You are so ready to take a nap but there is still paperwork to be done.

As you approach your desk, you notice someone dropped off a large box with an envelope with the casino's logo on it. You remove the letter inside, informing you that a new line of plushies of the famous peacock boys was being considered to be sold in the gift shops. They had sent you the prototypes for you to evaluate, saying you are welcome to keep them afterwards.

This is a surprise for you that the casino is wanting your opinion, especially after your previous interaction with your manager and how they were ready to fire you on the spot.

Setting the letter down, you turn your attention to the box to open it and remove its contents:

You place each adorable plushies onto your desk in a neat little roll and discard the box.

You are amazed at the quality of each toy. Each of them is a size of an oversized pillow and feels as soft as down comforter. The fabric itself feels like the smoothest velvet you have ever felt.

And what's even more surprising, each of the toy comes with a unique scent! You realize the casino must of picked these scents based on the boy's favorite drinks.

Sun's smells like a pina colada.

Moon's smells like a blueberry mojito.

Eclipse's smells like a cosmopolitan.

You have no doubt that these will sell very well for the casino. Especially for the patrons who would love to take any of the boys home with them.

You couldn't help but to start snuggling into each of the plushies, imagining it was them you are holding close into your arms.

Without realizing it, you had fallen asleep with Eclipse under your head, while Sun and Moon in each of your arms right there on your desk.

Not too long after, the door to your office slowly opens as coos and trills can be heard from three stars themselves......

*OBLITERATION RAY*

*Died* again.

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE KILLING ME WITH THEIR FABULOUS WRITING!? The stuffs look SO CUTE, btw!!! Thank you for this! I really loved it!! THANK YOU!! (I guess it makes up for being died)
