Taking a break from the uberdetailed (at least by my standards haha) to just doodle some sqeebo. She progressively gets more miserable here btw
at first i wanted to do a kinda animation but then i was like.. well one i dont have any animation software right now and i am not buying any (i refuse to use flipaclip because i cant add audio in anymore) so i guess im kind of doing sprites? If you could call it that im gonna call it sprites anyway because when i do these i imagine game sprites
Heres just the faces since her hair obscures it.. “hair” its not technically hair but tentacles yes.. but tentacles sounds a little odd sometimes
I plan to add more later or tomorrow.. well i plan right now it may or may not happen
If you have a keen eye (at least on me) you notice.. HEY WAIT! Sqeebos hairstyle is a little different. Its more like the canon ver HUMMMN… THATS RIGHT!!! It is intentional! She is younger here:), this is before she moved it out of her face. She is more insecure here thats why haha
These are not the full drawing, i initially intended to do a fullbody and paste it into different environments and shade based off that (i was gonna do looping in the rooms) and then i realized.. 1 have nowhere to animate it (at least with sound), and 2- i do NOT know how to draw someone running!!!!! So this is gonna end up more like a sprite
I need to edit some of the proportions but uh oh well
If i have motivation ill do 2 outfit versions, one with her early outfit (before annaki yellow cuff came out, so it was annaki blue cuff or something) and her expirament fit:3 i need help on designing that outfit lolz.. i want it to be somewhere in between rivals/octo expanse uniforms (splat 1 and 2, excluding 3. Headcanon when callie was hypnotized she helped design the rival outfits for 3 because girl they are fire) but also kind of similar to side order.. but i want them to have their own vibe too. Like she was an experiment, she hadnt even been allowed to serve as a rival yet so her outfit would be probably bare bones, sterile white.. but im not too sure what else
im having a good time thinking about her lore since i let myself be a little more honest with her and just straight up say she was deeply insecure, lonely, desperate, and when given a relationship codependent. I dont want to sterilize her because im afraid people wont like her or something. Like if anything it just makes her more human and if i should have an easy time doing that with any oc it should be my basically sona😭
Ugh i accidentally deleted the first draft its ok ill rewrite it
I mean Sqeebo literally woke up in a world that she wasnt familiar with, without memories, with a migraine by herself (save for buddy.. salmonid friend!!), in the middle of the desert- being shoved into an environment she didnt speak one of the main languages of completely by herself with nobody to lean on; no family, no friends, nobody. She tried desperately to fit in, to put on a good show or effort at school to get people to like her. Whatever role she was supposed to fill, or that she thought she was supposed to, she tried- she tried to act like she thought they wanted her to, but she only ended up looking odd around other people and becoming more isolated than she was originally. In the end she lost her dignity and she was still just as much of a shadow as she was originally, still forced to be an observer yearning desperately to be seen. This is where cruise’s rivalry with Sqeebo comes in, as her relationship to him- although negative at the time, it was something. Someone who saw her, even if he disliked her. He saw her, he cared enough to dislike her. He was the only person she had.
If you couldn’t tell, especially when they first fall in love shes extremely dependent on him because of all the things mentioned above. She feels like she has noone, nobody sees her and shes noones first choice except his. He’s the only person that loves her, that sees her, thats there. That’s comforted her, that hasn’t left her, that sees her.
cruise being a relatively normal guy is like “uh heyyy babe!! I love you but i have a life tho” and they end up getting into a massive argument one day because shes upset that he’s going to visit his family for the weekend. Shes not mad or like “grr i cant believe you!!” She knows its a selfish thought and she knows she should let him and that its wrong to be upset but shes just sad and cant help but be emotional and mopey at the idea. And cruise is just honestly annoyed at it at this point because she gets upset every time he has to go and he just wants to live his life. So he looses his temper and they arguees and he leaves and she criesss… but this argument is good dont worry!!!! Well at least for her cuz she starts to actually really put EXTRAA effort into trying to make new friends and connections and she does it and now her and cruise are very healthy:) and they both make up and he apologizes for loosing his temper on her but he reaffirms that boundary of “i love you but i have a life outside of you and you need to know that” and she apologizes for being overly dependent on him to the point that its harming him and they hug and she cries but its ok she cries at every emotion its normal. It is relief
