walks in coughing and spluttering. 2026 year !!!! dub next month. putting together a subtitles track for it. waahgh. okay bye. falls flat on face trying to walk out.
For the record I did manage to get it the subtitles done some time after that. Next week!!! Next week dub ! Friday ! February 6th ! Time undetermined, but probably 6:30 PM EST. Maybe later. We’ll see <3
Alright, so ! I've chosen to schedule it for 8:00 PM EST. Or, more accurately, I'm scheduling it for 7:57 PM so the countdown can run down three minutes before then. (It makes sense to me in my brain.)
I'm doing this so I don't have to worry about trying to get it set up very, VERY last second. Should be done... some time before next week. Before tomorrow if I'm lucky.
(I have a very nice and awesome habit called "Doing Something And Then Leaving That Thing Open In My Tabs For Very Long Periods Of Time Because I Did Something Else And Forgot." Or, alternatively, "Setting Things Up For Three Days To Make Sure It Looks Good." So we'll see what happens, basically.)
here's the link to it if you wanna open it in a tab somewhere or get notified! i'll be sure to reblog this again a few hours before the dub actually premieres!
(warning for some folks: there is some use of flickering/flashing lights/potential eye strain. just to warn y'all ahead of time!! I'll be sure to tag it as such now, even though it's not out yet at this time. better safe than sorry <:3)
OKAY SO !!! it's out now and has been for a good while. i'm so happy with how it turned out <3333
to celebrate, here's the theme that i made and features in the credits. it was made primarily with samples but it gets the job done and was made with love anyhow <3
reblogging this to BoD's blog bc i need people over here to see the exnic slugcat my friend ammonite here drew. MY SON. he is a slugcat for my birthday. i think he would be called the bringer for no particular reason. anyway. look at my rancid little guy. see him sleazy.
the video got stretched vertically a little bit i feel, but honestly, it's fine; i did spend a while trying to make sure it wasn't a VERY LARGE HUGE FILE when i exporting it, so i can live with it if that means it fits here.
edit: i was lied to. it's not stretched. WHATEVERRR <33333
so. funny announcement thing. transcript for it below if you can't listen to it right now.

Greetings and Salutations! I am Zeisty King, or just Zeisty for short, and I am the creator of the Sonic.EXE fancomic known as Bringer of Darkness. And today, I have a fun little announcement here for you:
I'm putting Exnic on the continued Sonic Oddities Wiki, because… Why not? Why not put my son there? So our good buddy Exnic IS going on the Sonic Oddities Wiki at some point. But that means… or that meant, because I've already gotten this done… Exnic needed his own transparent render. So Exnic… gets this.
[A render of Exnic the Hedgehog appears on screen.]
Now, you'll probably notice here that it doesn't look transparent, but to be entirely fair to you, I AM recording this right now, so this is a window that I am capturing. Here I- here I am, zooming in and out. [Zeisty vocalizes as he zooms in and out on Exnic's face.]
[Singing:] Here's his face!
Predictably, I had a lot of fun drawing this. Because I ALWAYS have so much fun drawing Exnic. And it's… really good to draw him again. It's always really good to draw him, but…especially for this, look at him. Look at him serving! Get it, king! I have not started work on the proper page yet, I'm getting like all information that I want on his page when I get to it just done, so I'm not like scrambling like…
[Zeisty emits weird noises???]
Like, y'know, I'm just like getting all my stuff here together, and like… none of the spoilers. Obviously. I don't want to spoil you on anything that is… going to be going on in the comics, so while it is an ongoing comic and I am the creator of it, I don't want to be like "Hey, Exnic hates this" and that's like a major fucking spoiler for the comic. All of his current information that I would want you to know right now is going on his page. He also has another render for another form for him that I haven't drawn in a long while.
Technically speaking, she COULD have been seen on the Bringer of Darkness Strawpage, but I am currently "revamping" that right now, so all of the reference images for each of the characters are going on their own unique pages. And there are no links to for those references as of yet, especially for Amy since her… reference contains one teeny tiny spoiler for it we haven't gotten to yet.
And technically another one that we ALSO haven't gotten to yet, but they're like teeny tiny spoilers that I really haven't gotten to yet, so her references aren't there yet, and I'm currently working on getting Exnis- [BLOWS RASPBERRY] EXNIC'S references done… uh, again. Or like gathering them all up for this page. But… it was SO GOOD to draw this form for her again, this alternate form for our dear buddy Exnic here. Technically, if you were to have looked at the page for it, you would have seen this alternate form for Exnic, which is the full version of Exnic's Amy Form that he partially shifts into in the prologue. I was going to draw her there, but I, uh, didn't want to, so we only… the one arm of this form.
You've technically also seen her in the Pulse RP screenshots I've taken here, so… Regardless, it was just really good to draw her again, and she turned out so well, this Amy Form. So that's all I want to say. Thank you for listening, or.. whatnot. And I hope you have a fantastic day!
[A black screen with text appears. For some reason, Zeisty's voice can only be heard from the left side as they read the text out loud.]
Okay, if none of this made sense to you, here's this to be clear and concise instead: Exnic is getting his own page on the Sonic Oddities Wiki, with renders for all of the forms that he has. I didn't mention it here, but his Formal Attire is getting one too, though I have currently not drawn it yet. His Cowboy Outfit is not getting one, especially since I have never drawn a proper reference for it.
The Bringer of Darkness Strawpage is technically being revamped. It will look the same as it always has, but all of the characters who have made proper appearances in the comic so far will be getting their own unique pages where ALL of the reference images that I have made for them (that DON'T include spoilers) will be going. There will also be design notes for them as well.
if anyone's curious, he exists now. i'm probably gonna put some other photos and stuff on the wiki at some other point, but rn i think i am satisfied with what's there now. i landed up not drawing that third render btw, but only because i forgot that was in the cards.
oops. oh well.
the revamp also hasn't happened for the straw.page at this time. like im still technically going to be working on that, but y'know! things happen in my life and my memory is a bag of wet chips. anyway yeah, that's the update for you on this <3
the video got stretched vertically a little bit i feel, but honestly, it's fine; i did spend a while trying to make sure it wasn't a VERY LARGE HUGE FILE when i exporting it, so i can live with it if that means it fits here.

happy love day again! i actually chose to schedule reblogging this instead of drawing something new (since. tbh this just works well enough). but since its nothing new, heres some info.
exnic is not invested in romance. he doesnt experience attraction, nor will he ever "fall in love" with anyone, but he is still capable of love to a degree!! he does love things and people, occasionally very deeply, just never in a romantic sense <333
Howdy, folks! Zeisty here. Technically speaking, there are ten days left until the dub for the prologue drops — if you count the day itself as one of those days, of course. If not, then it’s nine days. But regardless!! To celebrate how soon it’s coming, I’ve decided to treat you all to something a little bit special.
I’m giving Exnic control over the Askbox.
That’s right. From today until the dub comes out, you’ll be allowed to ask Exnic anything you want (within reason!) and I’ll do my best to ensure he answers them in between his preparations. Be sure to keep in mind that he might not outright answer them and that he has the right to be vague about his responses; it’d be boring if he told you everything now, after all. :)
Okay, well. Eight days now, according to what I'm being told when I set the dub up to premiere. Whatever. The point still stands: once the dub is out, you won't be able to ask Exnic questions anymore.
Some additional notes to keep in mind for Exnic's Questions Segment:
No guarantees everything will be answered! If you don't see an answer within the day you sent it, chances are that you're not going to receive one. Sorry!
While it's been said that "I'm giving Exnic control over the Askbox," he's not directly responding to questions himself; his answers are being transcribed for you to see. In some cases, what actions made may also be written down as well.
Speaking of: to keep things simple, Exnic is only responding to things sent through the Askbox. You can respond to answers or responses however you like, though! Just keep in mind Exnic won't be replying back.
Sometimes Exnic will have another, much later response to your original question. Whenever that happens, the original question will be reblogged with his additional answer/response. That's the only exception to "only responding to things sent through the Askbox."
Alright!! I know it’s been two days after the dub finally dropped, but needless to say that Exnic’s Questions Segment is over!!! Thank you SO MUCH for asking him questions during that time, and I hope his answers were sufficient!!!
Maybe we’ll do this again some time. But for now, thanks so much!!! Hope you enjoyed the dub and have a terrific day!!! :D
Sometimes I have dreams about characters showing up. So Exnic made an appearance in them last night, and I know it was him because I said his name to someone at some point, and I talked about some genuinely already canon things regarding Exnic.
On one hand I could make a joke and be like “omgggg just like Amy in BoD for real” and. Yes. I suppose that’s true. But also he was covered in blood, grinning like mad, and just a head. And was apparently “modelled” as an Easter egg for a game involving EXEs.
So. No time to talk, unfortunately. But he was there. For some reason. That I could carry around. As a head. Covered in blood. Also for some reason.
(Btw, as a very small head that could fit in the palm of my hand. He wasn’t a full-sized, genuine Exnic head. Though I guess being a head in general is just weird. Oh well !!! hello my horrible rancid son)

Don't know if you ever heard of extra life sonic but he is basically a Evil Sonic clone Who has a style for destruction, you both would be Friends!
“Ah… one of the many versions of the blue blur I have kept my eye on, yes. I do understand why you would believe we would be friends, but whether or not that would pan out in practice is… well, I think it’s certainly debatable, at best.”
“I personally enjoy taking things slow. Dragging things out, as it were. It would be easy to rush through to the punch, but where is the fun in that? The longer it takes something to fester, the better! Though entertaining for as long as his run lasted, this fellow is quick on the draw when it comes to destruction, and that I find boring.”
“What’s the point of a good show if you can’t make it last? But I must say, for what he was able to accomplish in that period of time, for who and what he was… a fascinating concept, I must admit. I applaud him for it.”
