#dbhc explained

[shepscapades]

This got away from me and ended up super long, but here’s my breakdown #mybreakdown :3 A recap and rough analysis of everything that happened during the April fools event! please enjoy my lovingly handcrafted insanity <3 :)

[shepscapades]

I was looking back through some of the detailed references I made for dbhc Interrogation, and I realized it might be kind of fun to give y’all my top-down blueprint of the basement room, and slowly uncover the spoilered bits as Doc explores the room more and more throughout the comic! :D

The original version of this was just a bit outdated, so i took some time today to clean it up and re-label it according to what all has been "revealed" so far while trying to keep the original sketchy/loose nature of the drawing the same. Also, the shape of this room is really hard to get across in some of the panels I've designed, so I thought it'd be helpful to give y'all another visual! Hopefully this makes the physical space expressed in the comic a little easier to conceptualize :)

[NOW UPDATED FOR PART 4]

[shepscapades]

A quick recap, since we… learned a few things?

[shepscapades]

Is there a world in which we can see the old beesuma and new beesuma panel side by side?

There sure is!

I think these are all of the beesumas I’ve posted, so here are all of the updated drawings I did! It mostly bothered me how inconsistently I had drawn the armor, and as time has gone on I’ve had… ideas… about some things I want the Bee Armor to imply and such, so consolidating the design and making it consistent across the times he’s come up seemed like the best thing to do, since every beesuma appearance has seemed to carry a bit of weight, y’know?

Since it’s the most detailed, the drawing from Children of the Machine was my biggest concern to update and fix! And actually, I was originally just going to redraw the armor and call it done, but when I sat down to look at it again, I wasn't super happy with the general vibe of it I think, and the more I made adjustments to his face the more I realized I just wanted to redraw the whole thing. The posture and expression and everything just didn’t feel right for him—Realistically, s7 Xisuma is still Xisuma, and I don’t think he’d be so animated-looking even when talking project he’d be super excited about. I’ve also drawn his face a lot more over the years (in private mostly dnfbcfhgbbdghn), and so I really think the new drawing is a much better representation of him overall :D <3

The other two (from the Big Shot and Bee Shtick Comic posts, respectively) are much smaller changes. By the time I did the bee shtick comic, I had mostly kinda figured out what I wanted the bee armor to look like, so not much to fix there, and the Big Shot Xisuma is just a bust, so easy fixing there too! The hex-shaped shoulder pad I had originally put on him ended up being moved to his helmet, so yeah :D

Okay so May @1-marigold-1 sent me one of her Esteemed Dbhc Comic Breakdown Asks, which turned into me rambling and rambling and rambling and. So instead of replying directly to the ask I took a bunch of screenshots of it + threw in a bunch of other tags + doodled over top of everything, and I’m just posting this all as the Dbhc Comic Explained Post (tm) for Children of the Machine <3 THANK YALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR INSANITY, PLEASE TAKE MINE IN RETURN <3

This file is named “Destruction BREAKDOWN” because of me. It’s me. I’m having the breakdown

This one was a freaking doozy. If I keep talking i think i may be in trouble
