Looking At Objectum Tags On Other Platforms And I See A Bunch Of People Going "if You Think You're Objectum

looking at objectum tags on other platforms and i see a bunch of people going "if you think you're objectum you're a sicko para freak and you need to die for having an attraction that isn't human you are everything that is wrong with the world your identity is just a mental illness" and i go back to tumblr

The IHNMAIMS radio drama monologue comic is finally done after - checks calendar - FOUR MONTHS? If you spot any style inconsistencies, that's why haha.

Anyways, I love a good disembodied, analogue cluster, cable mismanagement horror AM :)

screaming THAT'S A SAW FISH every time i look up saw sharks bc the images are all jumbled up together

Erm, hey chat! New oc?? Yes!! Meet Edward, why is he called that? Idk i thought it was cute and suits it.

Edward is a robot comprised of scavenged bits of technology, he's got a cd player with a screen for a head, a microwave for a torso and 3 mechanical arms you'd find in a factory for arms, that have been fitted with ball-joints for extra manoeuvrability. The third arm is located on his back so when he needs to use his main hands to do stuff, it's got another arm to balance on (which is also the strongest arm). He's also actually pretty small, like you could carry him without much effort.

He was made by Galanos, another oc (sorta a persona) who i still need to properly design, who is an anthro albino wels catfish guy with a few mechanical body parts.

Edward acts as a voice for Galanos, as he can't actually talk, using a notepad and pencil or sign language to communicate. The reason Galanos is able to use Edward to communicate is cos Edward can hear Galanos' thoughts, dont ask how cos idk either 🤭. I'll put references down ⬇️there⬇️

I put Spud here cos the inspiration came from how they walk on just arms, i've seen a few other characters that do this but Spud is the only one i can remember right now.

Okay enough yapping now, i'll redraw them tomorrow in more poses to get a better idea of their body in a 3D space, not just this flat drawing, toodle pip! 👋

Felt like re-redesigning every GOBB character to see how much I've improved in my art and character design skills since 2023. Here's a first batch, drawings on the left are from 2023, drawings from the right are 2024! Now who got the biggest glowup

I like machines—typewriters, computers, cars, clocks, bicycles, phones, dishwashers, cameras, ballpoint pens, etc.

One of the things I like about machines is how they are basically these inert, inanimate objects, until we put some kind of energy into them and provide certain inputs. Then, these objects take on a certain kind of life. They aren't organisms, of course, but they do things.

I was just thinking about this, because my phone's battery had died, and until I plugged it in, it was just a little, meaningless box. But, once it had electricity running through it again, it began to function and "live" by doing all the myriad of things I use it for. It's a wondrous, magical thing.

And my phone's "life" is just as magical to me as my typewriters'. My manual typewriters are basically just heavy heaps of metal, but then load in a sheet of paper and start pressing keys, and before you know it, letters and words and sentences are appearing. Sure, it's purely analog, but it is still a machine that is using some mechanism (and some kind of energy) to translate stimuli into a desired action.

This is magic to me. Our technology, and the nature around us, are all magic. The world is magic, if we're willing to see it that way.
