🌟 Welcome to PROJECT SUPERNOVA, a massive Arena Mode AU!
[upd: this is an old post! there are some new references and some other posts, including the research facility. i'm currently working on the comic prologue
the references pt.1, pt.2, other characters, the research facility, this post and this one. also stickers? i'm tagging every post as #madness project supernova, so feel free to check it!]
Here I’ll show you the adventures of my OCs, who woke up in a different dimension after the main story of the Arena Mode. Their bodies were given up to The Nowhere and their souls are in the hands of a distant and lonely, unknown by most, universe. It’s known as The Abyss.
In this AU, 2BDamned signs a contract with The Abyss to keep the Imprints safe.
The Abyss is an abstract Higher Power, a lively small universe located outside of Time and Space, which disobeys the laws of physics that we are so familiar with. It's surrounded by the dark foggy Wastelands, and no sun or stars are visible in the sky. The Abyss wants to study Nevada, and in exchange for the Imprints’ memories of their past and behaviour, it grants them the ability to become stronger and transfer memories between different timelines created by the cycles. It keeps their souls safe far away from Madness.
But knowledge is not enough for the Abyss. It has an ulterior motive to use said knowledge, which is why the Imprints’ powers comes with the price of the Metamorphosis Chain’s fragility.
All the Imprints get into this place built on their memories of exploring Nevada. They can interact with each other, and the only rule they have to follow for now is not to kill each other.
It only takes one Imprint to die and all its subsequent rebirths will disappear, since they can't exist without their predecessor, thus leading to the fall of Nevada. They all bear a heavy burden on their shoulders
This isn't the universe we grew accustomed to and it has its own laws for everything: the bodies existing with no souls, born from everyone's memories; the Imprints' amplified emotions and hidden wishes.
They’ll have to live with each other and their sins in this small, quiet and lonely universe.
So, what about the characters? You can read a little about some of them down below! You can ask them a question, if you want! I’ll try to answer them when I can, and the character list will grow with time. Btw, if everything goes according to plan, I’ll start a comic featuring my OCs and the AU. Let's meet the cast!
And now meet the Nevadean Science Team! Someone had to carry out all these experiments, right?
I'm looking forward to all your questions! Also, thank you for reading this far, and for all the feedback I've received on my previous post, it really inspires me to continue working on this project!
i've managed to add 44 more pages in one month which means the sketch phase is finally complete! 105 in total, including the cover
it's about the terrible experiment after all
(more text and plans below)
now i'll work on the backgrounds first before moving on to the linework to make the process less monotonous, and will maybe put together a small, easy tutorial on it!
it would be a good idea to create a set of backgrounds just in case i need to reuse them for similar frames. maybe i'll eventually post something like that too, just to show how the facility looks in more detail
not sure if i'm going to post anything lore-wise yet (drawing is my priority for now) BUT if anyone's interested i'm really encouraging you to send questions or suggestions through asks! including tutorial requests and stuff : ]
my current plan is to continue working on it, then doing the linework, coloring, shading and placing the speech bubbles
the prologue's title is "no time to be heard", which is a story about four nexus core scientists being stuck together. one of them is michael, their team leader and the boss of the separate research facility. he has no fear, only his moderately convincing speeches and strong ambitions. this also happens to be a story about the terrible experiment's origin
instead of the other place, there's the other planet, and to ensure the player's safety from the madness, doc sends them into a lonely, empty stretch of space
stickers i made bc i didn't want to hide their story messages behind the proccess of drawing the pages : ] (which you can also print for personal use! \/)
here they are…. feel free to ask me about any of these in the askbox i'd love to talk about them more !!
