This is a blog dedicated to JSAB: Encore of Corruption. Here I will post future comic pages, arts, answer to questions (if you ever have one) and more.
My main blog (if you want to check it out): @astup1db0y
Please forgive any mistakes I make and might make, I'm Italian and I'm trying my best
WHAT IS EOC ABOUT?
After Barracuda's corruption and both his and the old hero's death, Paradise is now threatened again by his dear son. It's now up to the new heroes Cyan, Trine, Penta and Citrine, together with the guardian Cube, to change the fate of Paradise and the whole world.
A story based on Just Shapes and Beats, a chaotic rhythm-based "bullet hell" game developed by Berzerk Studio, with a bit of change in the lore.
UPDATES?
Tbh, no idea actually. This is my very first comic that I'm trying to make and it'll probably take a while before I even post the prologue. I also have school, so yeah.
I'll post drawings and concepts meanwhile!
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Don't mind the emptiness, this will update soon hopefully
ASK BOX
You may ask whatever you want to any character or me except:
NSFW - I don't actually mind this kind of content, but we're in a public place and it's not correct towards others who mind it. (Mild gore is fine tho)
Ey fellas, I thought it’d be fair to share this timelapse with you following the reaction to my last post (TYSM YALL!!)... Anyway, please ignore that sudden, random glitch at the end of the time-lapse💔 – it was caused by a bug in Ibis Paint (I actually tried downloading the same time-lapse twice more, but the others came out in LOW quality😭, so I decided to post the first one)
I don't really mind, don't really care, mostly desensitized to it (and a lot of the ships here, but not in a bad way and more of a: I've seen so much and so varied of them that I guess I'm used to it?? Yeah I think that's it, kinda way)
Like, don't get me wrong, some stuff I've seen of it is cute. That goes with every other ship, but I guess it was like the norm at one point in the fandom and I just became used to seeing it and just walked over it without a care in the world. I know people put a lot of work and lore in the ship, and you know what? That's cool! You do you in your wacky adventures, but some of it it's just not for me and that's okay too
I don't attack anyone for it, no one attacks me, I'm always respectful of other people's headcanons and storied and whatnot. It's not cool to attack people just because they're pretty much existing and drawing stuff they like, they're still people.
With that all said, I don't mind it... What I DO mind is people of said ship trying to mess with me because I am cringe (affectionate) and basically a OCxCanon shipper the whole way
Now, truth be told, the first years was when it was really bad, because it was when the fandom was starting, and everyone was fighting everyone, and there were still a lot of very vocal kids and whatnot. THAT, was stresful-
Nowadays it's all chill, people are way more respectful, and I'm sure some of my audience grew as people and stopped fighting with other people just because of some blue cats. That has lifted a huge weight off my back, yet still, there are some crazy people back there trying to make me either look bad, or want to defend the ship like white knights, which I just walk away from
Friendly reminder that I'm a person who just wants to self-indulge and vent through my works most of the time, and if you don't like my stuff you're more than free to block me, just don't send me death threaths over a ship
Scuffle of the Shapes - Challenge 1 - Four Off a Thousand
[After falling through the door-space for what feels like half an hour, you finally land, body crashing whatever-body-part-first onto a hard floor.]
[You get up, and look around. You seem to be in an arena-like place, a bit reminiscent of the CotC finale’s arena. A single Null is standing in the middle of the arena.]
“Welcome, competitors.”
[They sound… about what one would imagine one of these to sound like. Despite their serious tone they still sound a bit cute.]
“Today, your first challenge of the Scuffle of the Shapes will commence. I hope you’ve all prepared.”
“The first challenge will be a test of endurance and strength. Your goal is to defeat as much of myself as you can.”
[The Null looks to the sides. You follow their gaze and see some more of them appear.]
“We will be changing our way of fighting depending on your fighting style, so it comes down to either continuously attacking you full-force, or a test of endurance with multiple one-on-one battles in a row.”
[More Nulls start to appear.]
“And if you think you can defeat all of us easily, then think again. There are exactly 996 of me, so it will be an upward battle for you, even if you may have powerful weaponry and we don’t. We’ll always have the number's advantage”
[Two large screens above the arena light up. One displays a timer that will later serve as a stopwatch. The second shows a counter of the amount of Nulls defeated.]
“Bonus points will be given out based on either how long you hold out, or if you end up defeating everyone, by how quickly you defeat all of us.”
“Now, I suggest prepping yourself, as the 5-minute timer will start when I say ‘go’.”
[As soon as he says “go”, the timer starts, the milliseconds rapidly clicking down.]
“wait crud i-”
“George, you ruined it!” [A Null in the crowd shouts.]
“Hey, I didn’t mean-!” [The main Null, George, shouts back.]
“Shut up George!” [Another Null says. The crowd quickly devolves into banter over the early timer.]
[George quickly turns back to the competitors.]
“Okay just… prepare! You prepare! Your timer starts now!”
[You start preparing yourself as the Nulls start arguing. You have a feeling by the time the timer ends, they will immediately turn their attention and violence to you, so you must prepare yourself.]
[Meanwhile, another Null shouts.]
“George, you forgot the deadline, flowerhead! It’s in 9 weeks!”
“I GET IT! SHUT UP!”
[…You get the feeling this will either be an easy or tedious battle.]

INCOHERENT INSIGHT
“Hey~~ it’s us! Incodeadhirsecrynt~”
“AND WE’R3 H3R3 T0 G1V3 Y0UR HIN7S F0R F1ND1NG 7H3 51GNA7UR3 5ONG.”
(And we're here to give you hints for finding the signature song.)
“Soooo, hmmmmm… The amount of them. Huuuuhh?”
“They are indeed quite numerous, but why exactly nine hundred and ninety six?”
“intel tells us that might be a hint to the song but it also tells me it’s much more than that lmao”
“Anyways, that’s all we can deliver. Goodluck, and try not to die.”

SORRY FOR THIS BEING SUPER LATE :sob:
got super burnt out and ended up forgetting :'D
anyways the song art for this isn't finished which is why a Null isn't in the cover lol
also the deadline is in 9 weeks because of artfight, it wont be that long for the other contests sadly
if you have any more questions, feel free to ask in the comments or askbox!
and also the points image isn't available yet either but they're the same as CotC's points, which are:
My sister is a Forsaken fan and asked me to redesign these skins after I made her play JSaB and she noticed how inaccurate they were. Initially I was hesitant because, frankly, I despise Forsaken because of the moldy blocks of cheese in charge and the overwhelming majority of it's fanbase being downright delusional (not all, I know a few nice ones, but they're very few and far in-between... the wannabe-cultists scare me) But since I hate the hell out of the skins and think they could be better, I decided I'd give it a go anyways.
I'm not a professional designer by any means, but these are just my personal takes on what I think could be adjusted or improved without killing off the original ideas behind the designs.
