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.
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
Since Steven universe has been mentioned a few times as of recent, I just had the thought that caine would really resonate with rose quartz’s speech about how humans are supposed to change, and that they are expected to change, cause that’s part of their purpose; to change with their experiences, for better or worse.
Then you have caine, who had been created with a singular purpose, to create adventures, and isn’t supposed to change from his designated purpose, cause that would make him defective and wrong in the eyes of both himself and the developers. So he doesn’t have an opinion on the subject of change cause he’s not human, so why should he even think of changing when he was designed to be who he is forever?
Also thank you for the new caine fic. I’ll consume it as soon as I’m done reading the other caine ficus I have. This ai creature makes me feel soooooo normal :)
YEEES, I’m in love with characters that don’t completely understand humanity but are insanely in love with it anyway
Bratty AI fucks around and finds out when you ragebait a Dad enough, more on the news at 11.
Fanart for a REALLY good Caine centric fic called Small Gods. This convo in chapter 7 is SO good, like I could genuinely see this happening in the show! its by @crimes-wears-goggles so go show some love to her and her fic!
I gonna do the second half of this convo too just cause I'd hate to leave it here :)
Y’know, it feels symbolically important that Caine goes to the left instead of the right when traveling in the void, because going left in cinematography is usually taken as going backwards either in time or in a mindset— so like.. by doing that, Caine is metaphorically going back to the beginning and remembering why he started loving the humans in the first place.. and I think thats kinda cool

I have quite a bunch of stuff prepared for this year’s event and I can’t wait to show yall hehe (i may or may not have ended up making 14 comics for the occasion. Lol) Unfortunately I’m still working on them so I won’t be punctual, they will most likely be spread across the month, posted as soon as I finish them. I am super happy with what I’ve been making and I’m really hyped to see everyone else’s works too<3
After joining the Chelley server one month after last year’s chelleyweek, I’m so excited to be able to take part in this one :D I won’t be able to post every prompt on time, but I do have drafts/sketches for every single prompt hehe 👉🏻👈🏻

“It’s italian, actually, um, it means ‘pick me up’. Just like how you… pick me up. …When I uh. When I’m not feeling great. A-Anyway— I wanted to pick you up for a change. Well not– not literally, of course, I mean I would like you to— um. What I’m trying to say is I want to return the favour. By baking this for you, I mean. It’s got um… cream, yes– cream, which you like, and… and chocolate. Plenty of chocolate. And coffee, um… Lady Fingers– you know, those long sponge things, Savvy–… Savvy-oh-darries? Or something. Never mind. And— Oh!! It’s also got alcohol. Wine, actually. The really good kind.”
don't really have much for a caption but i do have batshit insane rambling and more art under the cut
hardware capable of temporarily. read: TEMPORARILY. substituting for the central core to minimize downtime during maintenance
got wiped like 7 different times because he kept questioning his existence until they finally encrypted his imprint so much they had him asking how to use a doorknob
dual core processor equivalent to a PowerPC 970, capable of clocking up to 2.7 GHz for intensive tasks
always looking for """vintage""" computer parts in the hopes that they could be a compatible upgrade, like more RAM for his beautiful big brain ideas (wrong)
stole a network card out of a scientist's computer as a prank once he remembered humor. forgot to put it back and constantly tortures everyone else with his wifi capability
205X specific :
i don't think anyone is exactly jumping for joy at the words "open heart surgery." Especially not when it's you... on a table... alone with a light and a scalpel.
lights are dimmer for power conservation (dogshit battery)
processing power is also reduced unless necessary for hacking
low power mode has a dual purpose; conservation of battery power as well as keeping temperatures low to prevent overheating (huge headache + lots of broken parts)
clear coat has long eroded due to weathering + gel exposure during chamber maintenance
loss of coolant is nearly a death sentence for him and anyone involved due to the particular chemical mixture being difficult to find + reproduce (insanely hazardous to touch or breathe the fumes of)
yeah his radiator is probably rusted over but he's not touching that. it hasn't completely plugged itself so who cares (not him)
built like an old ass car, completely made of metal and doesn't crumple when impacted, leading to... lots of dents and shaken internals. nokia 3310 headass. he couldn't be assed to go through the cosmetic surgery that is fixing one of the newer models after a little fall (unless they're a patient of course)
on a related note, virgil is the robot equivalent of a beater car with the check engine light on and probably 6 other lights on, the underside is completely rusted out and the tires are bald. but it still runs so whatever, drive it into the ground buddy. he genuinely refuses to perform any work on himself unless its something critical. boo hoo nobody cares about some sensors and --- ah. temperature sensor.
i think
that can wait a little longer.
