A Bitter-sweet Alliance, Born From Betrayal And Desperation. Everything Has A Raison D'tre. This Here

A bitter-sweet alliance, born from betrayal and desperation. Everything has a raison d'être. This here are just close-ups of the two sides of the banner experimentation I did a while ago, trying to fleshen out the conceptualization of Spwatchton for the visual-novel. Spamton and Swatch shares the same body, thus their personalities remain the same, but now dealing with the inconvenient tug'o'war of their different morals and modus operandi that each of them has. Spamton was shap'd and scarred for life by the hardships of living in the streets of the suburbs of Cyber City and the Trash Zone, whereas Swatch had an easier life born into the highest echelons of Cyber City's society. It's a peculiar clash of ideals and motivations, Chaos and Order sharing the same body, but they must get well with each other, otherwise the amalgamation of both of their essences gets unbalanced and starts to melt and twist them into an unsightly beast of sorts...

Anyways, I still need to practice drawing him more, to keep myself more consistent between iterations.

This is how the banner looks, though it isn't animated here sadly. If you want to see the animated version, just go to my DeviantArt entry here. More and more practice.

"So, this is the person that fuels your determination to go on... Knowing it sooner and you could have been spared the anguish that consumed your sanity... The blame falls on me for breaking something so precious..." - Swatch

Well, I think my training painting glass and practicing other stuff was worth the try. This time I tried to start painting without making use of outlines but I still had difficulties leaving behind the lineart crutches 😅

For context, this scene is a representation of the common mindscape that Spamton and Swatch are sharing. During the waking hours Swatch can do very little but to peruse the memories of Spamton while his ally drones about the mansion's chores. He was curious about if Spamton had a person he regarded in high esteem as this was the thought that kept Spamton determined to survive deletion. After finding that memory, Swatch realized that he knew that person too, but never paid too much attention to the pleas of the Addison that scrambled to find the missing ruined salesman back in then. In consequence, he feels guilty for not helping them sooner. The blue Addison is called Sears by the way, and is the old room-mate with whom Spamton lived with because he couldn't pay his own flat with his waning budget. Sears allowed him to crash in their house, thus sowing the first seeds of a wholesome relationship that will save Spamton's life in the future 😁

And that's enough gabbing from me. If you are interested into more about my AU visual novel, you can ask me or join my Locals on this link and use the promo-code "FIRSTMEMBERS" to get 1 month free access to my content and to speak directly with me 👀

This was an old pic I did around the end of February, to thank people for pushing my Ko-Fi milestone up beyond 50. I had the idea of doing a "thank you" commemoration pic every 50 coffees... Oh well.

There is my amphysien-cockatrice phantom bird digital monster and the guy himself, who adopted her by accident when he found an odd stray egg bobbing on one of the acid fountains of the Queen's palace gardens. It's just an spin-off story not really tied with the main plot of the AU, but I liked the idea of Spamton and Swatch taking care of an abandoned v-pet that in the Dark World it becomes more close and personal (and Swatch couldn't resist to adopt yet another birb to the family 👀) (she calls Spwatchton "papa" and she evolves into some sort of witch phantom knight digimon if someone was curious).

If you don't know what an amphysien-cockatrice is I'll leave this here for the record.

you've mention you have an art fight! what is it? (if you've already posted it on here i am an idiot)

((I believe I did not post it because I didn't think anybody would be interested but if you are curious here it is https://artfight.net/~Phantom_Birb_Darkner I'm still trying to complete a few profiles to give people more variety but I'm afraid everything will be oops all Addisons until I get to the point to start making other Darkner characters from the AU 😅))

((I forgot to mention, it's a website in which once a year people are involved in a buffet of art-trades during one single month, taking sides in one of the two themed teams and just drawing the characters of others for points for their team or just for fun -- it is regulated by rules of sfw and you can add some more on top of your characters to avoid certain styles that you don't like to see your characters being drawn in))

It's been another while since I uploaded something. The animation is going slow as I'm also multitasking with commissions, and I just wanted to burn steam doing something else that sprung in my mind. Just an overly-stylized Spwatchton with a weird background experiment, nothing too fancy. I'm still brainstorming about how to represent the Creation powers he shares with Swatch 🤔

((edited because I forgot a few tags -- you know what? let's add something more in-line with the visual novel conceptualization -- Spamton after the data hijacking still can't forget certain things from his past (like the Angel) and that still haunts him and produces monsters inside his dreams and sometimes by accident during their waking hours. Good thing that the head butler is there to pull the leash on Spamton in order to avoid him to fall to the amounting ruin of his past self, least they both fall together into the abyss, and Swatch the last thing he wants is to lose the only thing that keeps the monster inside himself at bay 👀))

(([[SACRÉ CUNGADERO]] today I can't type apparently -- corrected typos))

Just ignore this post. I'm testing the embedding of videos because I plan to make animations and I need to know the capabilities of Tumblr to support them. I'm happy to know that Tumblr can hold 10 minutes videos, but I only need like a handful of seconds or 1 or 3 minutes tops for the animations I want to make.

I want to see if it would be better to embed them from my YouTube account or just to upload them directly to Tumblr. So far the upload has failed to get a 3 minutes video to appear on my feed. Guess I'll take the YouTube road if uploading gives more difficulties.

EDIT: It seems Tumblr has difficulties with me uploading 3 minute videos, thrice I tried and thrice it failed. I give up. To YouTube they will go then.

And yes, I also do 3D avatars. I has plans to make all Deltarune characters, starting with the most neglected NPCs, but that's a project for a different time. If anything, I'd do the characters of my AU first, given that the interest in official NPCs like Trashy or Nubert is not great.
