This Was An Old Pic I Did Around The End Of February, To Thank People For Pushing My Ko-Fi Milestone

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.

"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 👀

"In the beginning...

...only the haze of dead decaying computers was his only company."

Just setting up the account where I should publish updates on the progress of this AU.

Don't mind the current emptiness. I can only work on it on my spare-time, which nowadays is scarce because of crippling pits of debt.

Be patient and hope you will like what I post in the future.

Phew, here he is, at his own Genesis, the poor ol' Spam (or subject #451). The ordeals he's going to go through on my story... <grins>

This is one of many, as the other characters will receive the same treatment. You may want to zoom in or open it on a new tab to read the spam of info-boxes (I'm sorry if it looks so HUGE but I needed space for the rest of the characters as they will be presented at real scale). This also will go to my Art Fight profile where I plan to put all my characters for others to draw fanart from IF so they want, or to help peruse the characters easily in the gallery over there.

And yes, the legs end in nubs but they curve slightly at the tip. Teeny-teensy-footsies that will never win any FIFA but they are cute.

Not much to say but that it took way too long with my damn low self-esteem crippling me. It's 3 AM already? [[TIME ! STOP YOUR CAVALCADE THIS INSTANT ! ]]

ajkfhgadfjkh zzzz.... 😴

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.

Not much to say today. I'm making a small ad for my commission panel because I need the money very badly, and this is a WIP of the Spamton that appears on it. It's the Spamton from my AU (I don't know how could he be called... ΔSpamton? GambitSpamton? DG!Spamton? 🤔), with particular details like the missing finger on his right hand (because of the "commemorative ring") and the particular coat that is his "Lucky Jacket", a gift from his old roommate (certain Blue Addison that goes by the name of Sears S. O’Reilly in my visual novel). Spamton might be half the Addison he was before but will still push forward to change his lot in life and recover all that was lost, including himself, before it's too late... I still can't believe into what he will become because of his Determination to keep on living. Well, I believe he deserves such <evil grin>

In a sense we both are alike, desperate for kromer all days every month all year, and we passed by similar circumstances (including being born the runt of the family, being unlucky, betrayal by people we thought we knew well, eviction, phone-ring anxiety and crippling disease). Guess that's another reason why I pity and respect Spamton so much because I see a lot of myself on him, and neither of us deserved the fate we were wrapped in... I don't like to reflect myself on characters but I dunno, Spamton has turned into some sort of "animal spirit" for me, an inspiration to keep pushing forward against all odds in life 😅 At least it's a positive projection, me thinks 🤔

Anyways, enough of that. It's late and I need to head to sleep 😴 Hope I can finish the ad this Monday if bureaucrazy doesn't have something to say about it, as Mondays are very scary days with the damn ring of the phone always with bad news behind... To heck with it, sleep is important and I shouldn't worry about the wound before I get it on me first. Have fun and good night!
