Okay back to crying abt projects

Me: Fuuuuuck this drawing is so hard. Let's draw something else to get my mind off it. *draws something even MORE difficult*

[ziekkfreak2-0]

Okay. So.

I'm like. So swamped with stuff to do even though! It's!! December!!!

That's not to say I haven't been working on it. It's just that a lot of it is rough ideas and sketches, and even then it's been a while since I've made presentable concept art.

The presentable concept art in question:

The most feasible thing for me to do at this time is to just. Answer asks abt the AU. And occasionally drop small bits of writing. I'm mainly an artist tho, so tell me what you guys want. To wait 5 bajillion years for more lineups, or to be fed bits and pieces of actual story.

But ☝️ if you want a sneak peak into what happens in the manor, there is this WONDERFUL fic written by @entitiy-4 called Processor Upgrade on ao3. It's short, but I think you'll find it leaves quite the impact (just like Z, hehehe).

They're a genuinely amazing writer and have been feeding me so many ideas and writings for this AU that ISN'T EVEN DONE YET?? What the fuck.

GO READ IT!!!

SURPRISE IT'S A SWAP AU!!!

...kinda. These are their initial designs at the start of the series. So... Their pilot designs!

As always, rambling below the cut (as well as the cast in ep 2).

I love Dead Lmao. They're my favorite character.

AU PREMISE:

Swap AU but N, V, and J go to a private school. And the disassembly drones are vaguely bug themed.

UNORGANIZED THOUGHTS:

🔺 The private school Nexus, Virtue, and Julie go to has a very strict dress code. They enforce bleached hair, white eyes, a headband with their number on it, and a monochrome uniform. The only exception being that accessories can be any color.

🔺 NVJ are all orphans, and their school also doubles as an orphanage.

🔺 I'm gonna explain it in each of their solos, but I swear I have a reason for Virtue and Nexus' goofy ahh names LMAO.

🔺 Elliott manor and Tessa still exist, buuut things go a bit differently.

🔺 Not completely sure what Nori, Khan, and Yeva's roles will be atm, but they're going to be senior WDs at Elliott Manor.

🔺 You can probably guess who the solver's host is based on the color, right?

🔺 This is a swap au, but certain roles will remain the same (for example: J dying. Get blasted, idiot.)

🔺 Lizzy and Thad (called L and T in this AU) are the other two Disassembly Drones alongside Z.

🔺 Cyn, Tessa, L and T are probably gonna come up in the next lineup. Giggle =}

The rest of the info (mostly the character design-specific ones) will come up as I post their solos + doodles.

SOLOS:

JULIE SOLO: 🖋️

VIRTUE SOLO: 🍏

NEXUS SOLO: 🐾

COMICS:

(mostly shitposts atm)

"Doll's gonna massacre the gala!", "Pocket-sized bug", "Girl just pick a damn outfit", "You will surely not regret eating: 50 slices of cheese"

CONCEPT STUFF:

Julie Doe, Spooky Z, DD Uzi, The Cylly, Disassembly Drone Diagram, Info Dumping

This, my friends, is what we call a doodle gone out of hand.

Hahdbrkfkf I should've left the coloring for later aaaaaa

[ziekkfreak2-0]

Does bro even hear himself.

Rereading some ISAT events from the ISAT Script website. It is SO well organized and compiles literally everything in the game. This is also to say that you can see the regular dialogue and the dialogue you get after getting certain interactions and

[ziekkfreak2-0]

Absolutely

Lethargy

"Just keep smiling. No one can tell the difference."

More OC stuff. I've posted her before, and now I think I'm decided on her name: Loveta Malheur. No I am not subtle.

Alternate versions before I decided on the one above:

And for those of you who saw the previous version, NO YOU DIDNT!!!

Gonna be playing my first DND campaign!!! It's a combat-centric 3rd lvl one shot though, so I'm not gonna invest too heavily into OCs and instead just yoink traits from my fav characters. Here's the first two ideas. I'll just ramble abt them + a few other ideas I haven't drawn yet.

Forgetful Gnome Warlock:

🌑 Name: Memento, they/them

🌑 Referencing Siffrin from In Stars and Time

🌑 A traveller who, after making a pact with their patron, lost all their memories. Now they wander the lands trying to regain any semblance of a normal life.

🌑 Either Hexblade or Great Old One subclass.

🌑 For the former, they have a sentient dagger with a coin imbedded into its handle. Their dagger patron, who calls themself "Encore", is a showy, sarcastic, and smug entity that loves to mock Memento. However, Encore does everything in their power to protect and help Memento on their journey.

🌑 For the latter, Memento made a deal with the DND equivalent of "The Universe" (I still have to research. Hopefully I can find a great one with comparable strength and theming to ISAT's universe). They still act under their patron, albeit unknowingly. Like it's a habit that they can't get rid off.

🌑 By the end, they'll probably have grown attached to their party.

Morally Grey Human Artificer:

🎀 Name: Bug, she/he

🎀 Referencing Tessa James Elliott from Murder Drones

🎀 An artificer that caused a Warforged uprising and aims to solve it on her own. Has an affinity towards guns.

🎀 Either artillery or battle smith subclass.

🎀 Bug originally went by the name "James Harker".

🎀 She comes from a royal family of humans that relied heavily on (and abused) automatons.

🎀 Eventually, he heard about Warforged and wanted to give life to his favorite automatons. But after making only a few, they began learning how to make more Warforged themselves. Not long after, the manor was overrun by vengeful Warforgeds that aim to wipe out all other organic life.

🎀 James had to flee. She couldn't bear the guilt of having caused a robot uprising, so she changed her name to "Bug" in the hopes of not being recognized. Now, she vows to hone her artificing skills so she can face the uprising head on.

🎀 By the end, he'll have learned to open up to and trust people.

Additional ideas that I didn't draw:

- Plasmoid monk (Goopy Le Grande from Cuphead). There's nothing more to this, I just like the visual and wanted to take advantage of the unarmored abilities.

- Half Vampire half human sorcerer (Uzi from Murder Drones). Listen, vampire is an actual race in DND and the DM didn't set any limits besides "no homebrow". She basically inherited her magic (or her solver) from her mom, so this basically makes her a sorcerer.

- Autognome cleric (Cyn from Murder Drones). You will not be discarded :} It's a choice between the cleric life, death, or grave subclasses.

Aaaand that's all currently. Gonna discuss it with my DM still, but my final decision will prolly be up to whatever role needs to be fulfilled by the party.
