Guess who’s been doodling a-lot recently!! Have not been doing great with mental health lately due to life stuff, but hopefully I’ll be back to normal somewhat soon!✨✨✨✨

First 3 doodles were a listener swap sort idea I had…god all of my listeners are so insufferable I love them all dearly. 

And the other 2 were me thinking of Sawyer and Arley, as always, but finally actually getting enough motivation to draw! Also Arley alt outfit reveal!! They’d probably wear it post episode 2 of agow because the way they dragged carried Sawyer made it so that their cool ghost hunting jacket got stained. So technically not an outfit change…but just them taking off a layer of clothes???✨✨✨✨✨✨

Look what I got! This second person perspective audio adaptation of Treasure Island is a rare example of physically preserved audio roleplays from the pre-digital era. This the ancestor of Escaped Audios!

[moth-floating-in-space]

Ok now @sjaudios give me money because of all of the exposure I gave your channel. /j

I didn’t notice because the older audios are seemingly quieter but I fear that this time around this wasn’t the reason I couldn’t hear it😭😭

[sjaudios]

Laughed so loud i scared my twin sitting next to me, LMAOOO

fr though would 11/10ths die if this happened to me, bless you brave soldier ;--;

Now we have Caleb's totallyyy normal friend

The city's ever so meek musician, with a super-secret! Ren Hisako

Has a pet spider/tarantula named Tala, they can also play a few wind instruments(mainly their flute!)

[sjaudios]

I'm going through some old posts i missed while on break, and just HAD to draw this listener OC!

their design makes me so happy, i LOVE how unique they are! you guys are all amazing character designers i swear-

[sjaudios]

Do you have any set personality traits for your listeners from all of the series you’ve made?

Also, which listener is your personal favourite character-wise? (My personal favourite is Fancy. GOD I love their character. Especially how their entire personality did a 180 when they were watching that rabbit with Sawyer. I love characters who are normally prideful/smartasses but have a specific soft spot. ESPECIALLY if they get sorta sentimental.)

I actually do!.. and you're pretty spot on w Sawyer's Listener, haha- I try my best to make the listener character as engaging as the series they're in, because i find listeners who add nothing to the plot or story kind of... eh. The listener to Tyran's series is supposed to be rather shy and flighty, Sol's is supposed to be curious to a fault, Caleb's listener is confident yet wary of others, and so on, so forth, basically whatever i think will suit the story and balance well with the other character. I tend to leave some personality traits up to the listener's discretion (it's supposed to be you after all!) but there is a series i have in the planning stages that might add more history to the actual listener "character" as it were. As for my fav?... hm, I love them all, but i think I'd have to go w Varen's listener, just because I'm REALLY proud of how his series is written so far, and the listener in that series feels like they could be a story all their own. (they're actually based off of a scrapped popstar one-shot i was going to do, fun fact!) But yeah, I personally think giving listeners their own personalities is a great way to make a video or series more engaging, and I have a lot of fun writing them to be unique to the series they're in.

I think one of the worst reasons people in the audio sphere use AI is purely for the sake of avoiding collaboration. Degrading your own content for the purpose of being all alone seems like a very sad reward.

I got into audios strictly as a collaborator. I was a writer and editor long before I was a voice actor. I made friends that way. Part of the joy of creating was sharing my ideas with VAs and getting excited with them as we built the raw inspiration into a completed work.

I've met long-term friends through collaborating, I've had my work elevated by the performances and visuals contributed by voice actors and illustrators. I've helped other people grow and been helped in turn. Being part of a community is so much more valuable than being able to turn out audios slightly faster.

Seeing VAs getting used to just using AI voice changers in place of collaborative casts, or using AI generated images rather than collaborating with artists depresses the fuck out of me. They grow so dependent and accustomed to using them that even the base level of human communication needed for collaboration starts to feel impossible to them. We could have been friends, man. You could have been part of something you love and share with others. Gen AI traps you in a very lonely little box. Break out of it.

When your assistant/child lowkey isn’t actually dead and you were planning on harvesting another guys brain but now your child and current assistant (and brain harvest victim) are kissing after literally exploding you

I absolutely LOVE Sol’s series, so I was shocked when I realised that I hadn’t done any art of it yet. I decided to try my hand at designing my listener and finally landed on this goober. Their name is Evelyn but they much prefer being called Vee by people they’re close to. Definitely gonna draw them and Sol together at some point soon!!✨✨

beautiful work, i love all the details!

[snoogeewoogeewoo]

It’s sort of funny to me how often I see larger audio creators get asked if they’re ok with basic fandom activities. I mean I get it, it can feel really daunting to post stuff about a series you really enjoy and then know there’s a 99% the CREATOR will see it. But diva I promise you, people like escaped or gba (probably) won’t like track you down and dox you for making listener designs or headcanons that deviate from canon or for making ocs or making almost any other form of fan content.

[moth-floating-in-space]

After I drew Varen’s face I couldn’t look at it without giggling for the life of me why did I make him stare like that LOL✨✨

I fear that ever since the two got together Patty has slowly been spending more and more money on concealer😭😭😭

You need to post a comment on this website right now.

The FDA is considering a petition to make all trans women on estrogen enroll in a registry as a condition of our prescriptions.

If you are in the United States, you have the power to comment on this proposed regulation. The instructions for doing so, and more about the petition, are here. I just left a comment, and it took two minutes. You can do so anonymously.

The petition is bad for other reasons too. It blatantly singles out transgender women and asks for mandatory psychiatric gatekeeping of lifesaving gender affirming care.

right now there are 61 comments on the petition and all are in support of it. Being one of the voices that pushes back is the easiest thing in the world.

If you don't like those posts about how everyone on this website doesn't care about trans women, and wouldn't lift a finger to save us from genocide, here's your chance to prove them wrong.

If you are an expert, a medical professional, or a researcher, we especially need your voice. Please do not hesitate to leave a comment. Again the link is here.

One more time!!! ONE MORE TIME!!

[sjaudios]

Hi! I was wondering, if I could add a few of your characters to my one-shot/fanfics request list:)

Yeah, of course!

All I ask is to please have some form of credit back to the channel, so people know where to find the characters, haha!

(And also send me the fics if/when you write them, I would liketh to read them >:DD)

Varen doodle! ( + popstar design )

Varen ily but I can’t draw your hair for the life of me..✨✨✨

[sjaudios]

idk context is meet and greet went awry and this was their reaction haha- I like to think that they both have the kind of humor that causes them to say the absolute WILDEST things, Varen just gets away w it more often because he says it in Lu'sar rather than English

LOLL jokes aside @moth-floating-in-space has some really good listener designs, I'm hoping to draw more of them when I can! (sorry my sketch missed some of the details, but I had a lot of fun drawing them hehe)

[itsargyle]

Yes audio rp creator, I will watch you after you choose to abandon AI and all of your thumbnails are full of real art now. Do not be afraid, let's walk hand in hand down the goated path.

[escapedaudios]

I'm gonna try something in Vox Gothic. I'm going to give the Listener a name. Straight up. Not a nickname or a codename or a title. She's just going to be Alice. There's a reason why she's Alice specifically but I don't wanna spoil the reason why until the script is set in stone.

I'll establish right away that you are Alice and you're role-playing someone who is definitely not supposed to be you. I think it'll make it a little easier for the listeners to accept her flaws when it's firmly established that you're navigating the story in someone else's shoes. She begins her story selfish, manipulative, exploitative, shallow, emotionally callous, and a million other bad things that I don't think listeners wouldn't want to see themselves as, but I want a little freedom to make her into her own person and let the listeners live out her arc as if they were her.

[sjaudios]

Lowkey this is a really cool idea and I'm excited to see it turn out-

[sjaudios]

Hey guys!
