Part two to this just because I didn't want to end it on that cold ass line Kinger has. Plus I wanted to do Caine FINALLY being vunerable.

Again this is fanart for a REALLY good Caine centric fic called Small Gods. by @crimes-wears-goggles PLE E E ASE check it out, its so good!

[crimes-wears-goggles]

UIGHSDGIYTHGDKHGKDSGHJDFGYWTWUTGDSFJKGRYU48RWQZ When you mentioned you were gonna do a part two, I was quietly hoping it was gonna be this part, and it is this part, and I'm so happy about it. Oh my God. THE CUT TO BACK WHEN CAINE JUST HAD THE LIL RED HAND REACHING TOWARD THE SCREEN

IT HITS SO GOOD

I'M LOSING MY MIND

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU it's such an honor!!! More in-depth rambling below the cut. Standard apology for using speech to text in case it decides that these characters' names aren't spelled how I know they're spelled.

Once again, your panel flow is perfect as always. Iiiii actually have a degree in illustration. I don't get to use it that much anymore for chronic illness reasons rip but it does let me more pointedly gush about your work. ANYWAY I'm always really impressed by how well you storyboarders are able to, you know, make the story flow around just through composition and directional lines. I just think it's neat and you're clearly very skilled at your craft.

Really love the way that Kinger's body language slumps leads into like the scared surprise that Caine is giving in this first panel. The hand in the foreground over Caine does so much to like establish what's going on and I just think that's neat. I love Kinger's expression on panel two, really doing a great job of establishing the "we are talking about business now" energy

God, and the way you can tell in the next panel when Kinger looks back from the desk to look over at Caine, like, Caine is genuinely VERY upset by this. Like, you sell that fear and shock so well. Like, there's such subtlety. There's a lot of subtle acting in how you've drawn his eyebrows and mouth here, and the little lines around his eyes are also doing so much, and I just think that's neat.

AUGH and then the way you show the progressive sad emotions as Kinger goes to leave that side shot, and the way you capture just the lines on his eyes and his eyebrows, and the way that helps emphasize the mood and the shading here. It's just really neat and I'm destroyed. I'm destroyed and I wrote this. I know what's going to happen in it and I'm still destroyed. GOD the shot of Caine by himself, and you've done a little bit of shading in his eyes to really help emphasize, and God, he looks so upset and so scared, and I just want to give him a hug. Okay so the cut between Caine reaching out to Kinger as he leaves and Caine's hand in the past HITS SO HARD!!!!! It's just such a great visual way to depict the prose I wrote down without the words, and I just think that that is cool. Also, the hand reaching out is just really well done, very expressive. I'm absolutely losing my mind about your shape language on that red hand. It's just really good. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and then the little "don't go" and the way that like you made the font a little smaller to really emphasize that. And again, Kinger's hand reaching for the doorknob is just a really good hand. And then you can see the little surprise on Kinger's face and the way you use more circles in it to help emphasize that surprise is neat. And then the next panel, Kane's body language and the shot being from slightly above so we can see how he's kind of curling in on himself. And again, you have the glitches triggering and AAAAHHH it's so good! THE WIDE SHOT SHOWING KINGER AT THE DOOR I'M LOSING MY MIND IT'S EXACTLY HOW I PICTURED IT

GOD so the big shot showing Caine's expression as he starts to cry, and the way you make his teeth seem a little sharper to help, like, emphasize that big emotion, and he's still got the glitches. And again, God, shading adding so much here, the little bit of highlights in his eyes!! The shot of Kinger coming back. I don't know, man. The fact that you can't see Kinger's face, you can see the little bit of tears from where Caine's sitting. And again, like, body language here, so good. The little curve of his back and his shoulders and showing that little bit of tears does so much. And you can see clearly that, like, you can feel the apprehension of Kinger standing over Caine in this shot, and it really emphasizes, you know, he big, Caine small. Caine is the smallest he's ever been in this moment.

AND THEN KINGER SITS DOWN WITH HIM YEEAAAAAAAH WE DID IT

GOD CAINE sitting there on the bed with his little hands on his knees, and he's still got the tears, and he looks so sad. This is the most sad little Muppet man I've ever seen in my life. And the contrast of like the heavier lines on him while Kinger seems to have softened and he gets more soft shapes. Just, ah, so good. Also, I love the little bit of depth you gave to Kane's shoes. It's very good. Love the flow on. "Are you sure that's what you want?" This is a really strong composition. My eye really strongly goes from that text to Kinger's face to Caine's face. It's just listen. You could draw the little like golden triangle in there, maybe. Probably not. But you know, it gives me. It's good. It's good. I'm sorry. All I keep saying is it's good. I just really like it and I want you to know that I really like it in detail.

Oh God, Caine's expression in the "I don't want to be here" line. Listen, the shading you did inside his mouth here to really emphasize that depth is just good. And then you show his little teeth shutting, and oh my God, my heart. HIS LIL NOD AND THE WAY HIS HANDS SQUEEZE SHUT WHEN HIS TEETH SHUT AAA IT'S SUCH GOOD BODY LANGUAGE

Meanwhile, Kinger's expression has gone full like Midhell Manor, sitting and comforting someone, which, ah, yes, it's all I wanted.

The final shots with poor Caine actively shaking. And Kinger has finally softened, and he just promises, and then he just sits with him, and oh my god, it's so cute. Again, really love how your shading emphasizes the ending of these. It just, it always makes it feel like it lands, and I think that's really cool. I love them, your honor. They're my favorite. I'm so glad I wrote 55 thousand words just to get here just so I can write God knows how many more words before they can finally call each other "Dad" and "Son". We'll get there, but by God, they're going to earn it.

One last time, thank you so much. Genuinely, this means the world to me. This is one of the coolest things that's ever happened for me, and I'm just really flattered and happy and grateful. I hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters, and I hope everyone else who enjoyed these comics, you know, will check out the fic, and hopefully they'll like it. That would be neat.

[smallpwbbles]

Aaaaaa thank you so much again for the in depth analysis, again this feedback is genuinely so dear to me!!

Real quick I just have to glaze the lines that made me do those two shots of Caine reaching out in the present and past

“He’d done something he wasn’t supposed to and now his creator was giving up on him. Leaving him all alone in a box, no connection, no input, no-“

Like so much is said about Caines past in just these words, dude gave the wrong outputs, was put in a box and abandoned for it and it messed him UP. Those lines had my mind racing and I just had to visualise it with him reach out to not be abandoned again

I like to think Kris was sweating their fucking ass off during this scene

A Little Blue

And! A little ramble:

What I was trying to go for was to have Caine and Blue be like how they were in the opening scene of episode 8. Caine/Red is messy, a little bit all over the place while Blue is neat. But with this neatness comes less of the messiness that made Caine more human-like, and so Blue is more of the “unfeeling machine” between the two. Because, Blue was never anything at all except for something Caine used in order to stabilize his power (<- this is just my take on Blue lol, see ramble here). But Caine wants to believe that if he could be something more than just the Red dot, then Blue can also be something more than just the Blue dot. They were whole, together as one, once. Caine misses Blue in a way, and wants to believe Blue has the ability to see humanity like he did. But it’s not, and Caine at some point started to realize that this was more about him trying to reassure himself that he is more than just his purpose, that he can be someone. So he projects those feelings onto Blue. Blue is just a Blue dot, but Caine still wished he could’ve seen how much the circus has grown. They made it together after all. Like an actual recycling bin, there will come a time when the deleted file will be gone permanently. Maybe it’s longer than normal because Blue is also a powerful AI, but it’s only a matter of time.

I like to think unabstracting isn’t without consequences and a person brought back from it could go in and out of it when in distress

[mamasplat]

Daemons design is perfect because of its lack of design, just an omnipresent gaze that witnesses all and will bore into your soul. The initial scene where Ze shows that Daemon is in fact over top the menu is one of the most effective pay offs I’ve ever seen in a digital video game based arg and it came from a series that started off a satire prompt.

Ze is also a great protag from a meta angle of running a video game based arg, while the original premise of A ReGect is an arg with a monster that’s bad at its job Ze also answers the age old question of “why not just turn off the game”

Ze never takes much of this seriously, and if he does it’s not for long. Even when tensions are high Ze tries to break tension with humor or bickering. Ze is a very real player character in this story and has a motive, the fact he’s grown emotionally attached to Regect and Moe as real friends even if they only exist as sentient life haunting code. It’s that factor that keeps pushing Ze to keep going. And Ze’s attachment to his reality outside of this keeps him from asking the more existential questions that gives us the longer plot to play in figuring out what’s really going on under the surface. (Literally)

Rant below 👇

I had planned this comic for quite sometime now, since the start of June actually, but now I can say I'm done with this little project of mine. I also wanted to at least contribute to the fandom and since I can't frickin animate (looking at my hands in misery) I decided the next best thing, comics!

It was inspired by many things and yes it was based off of What is Love? by Twice the K-pop idol group. I based Derek from two characters ( three as a honorary member I guess) but this rant would've been three times longer than it should be so I won't get into detail.

Derek, in my opinion, is someone who is curious about the littlest things ever since he was a child, his drive to know more about the world is pretty evident across SFAWTDE, even if it's just surface level considering we don't really know his thought process that much (Compared to Avery that is) .

Which is his strongest strength but also what lead to his own downfall, his own selflessness and his care for both the Avery and the world is what kept him going in DAWTDE. I believe that D3rlord3 could turn against Avery, he is smart enough to understand that he is powerless against the King as Derek had many chances to work with him (across those days and months stuck to his computer), but he didn't because if Derek did then he might as well betraying his own beliefs.

Okay I'm getting a bit sidetracked here 🥲🥲

This comic is me trying to explore Derek a bit more as a character, since love is a general topic that I think anyone can understand (I won't go into detail here).

And I am also just a sucker for characters who are smart but dumb at the same time when it comes to their own affections and feelings. ( I drink it like how Derek drinks his smoothies 😏😏😏)

I am aware that many people portrayed D3rlord3 as someone who had accepted that he is in love with Avery right from the beginning of his demise, but I personally wanted to twist it a bit. Which comes to my main theme of this comic;

"What if he realized his feelings a tad bit too late?"

Derek is someone who puts others first as we can tell from bits and pieces sprinkled across DAWTDE and at the end of SFAWTDE where even as his mind is deteriorating by the second he still made the effort to at least warn Avery. Which I concluded (and most people before me had also) that Derek doesn't care for himself that much but he cares for others and that is what matters to him the most.

I think that's all from me, I've kept you here way too long. I had fun drawing each of the panels, heck I don't care if it flops.

But if you want to hear me rant more on my thoughts of this comic or just Derek in general, my asks are always open. I'll answer them to the best of my capabilities. 😋😋

See you 🥰
