I never got around to posting this here and now it's been like 2 months lmao, it's been on yt and soundcloud for ages at this point
better late than never ig
this is really just a remix of Izzy Tensles where i inverted the tempo automation to slow down over time instead of speed up, and i slightly shifted around the included motifs to make some things more apparent to a keen ear
the obvious difference is that nothing happens in the windows flash, while everything happens in stopx5, so there's an extra added sense of dread that izzy tensles doesn't have, since it's from a more low-stakes and sillier flash
other than that, the cover was also made to inspire a bit of dread and i was sort of thinking of album covers for like, rock and metal bands and stuff that are sort of more abstract, the palette and brush choices for the bg are mainly inspired by mcr's three cheers for sweet revenge, and also by that one thing we used to do in primary school art classes where we'd cover a whole paper in like, crayon? and then the teacher would paint over it with dark paint? ink? something, and then we'd scratch our drawing into the surface
i tried to make it look cleaner but it just wouldn't work, so in the end i just cleaned up a sketch and called it a day (there's actual letters under the scratched out white bits btw)
the [s] this was made for is also fully animated by me, it was great practice to learn how to animate in krita and it's also sort of a thesis statement i wanted to put out after the shifts in the team that happened at the start of this year
