some doodles ANCIENTS! BENEFACTORS! NO MATTER!! I will torment ancients for some time >: D this is a new character and also a small headcanon about old masks

some dumbbb lore under the cut.....

The House of Grace was a renowned and wealthy dynasty of ancients from the distant past. They were once noble and great, true benefactors who despite their outward appearance pursued the goal of bringing holy light and grace to whole society, which was their purpose in life. They were easily recognizable by their ornate horned masks with sharp beaks and invariable red robes. Masks of the dynasty's ruling council were hereditary for members of the House, passed down from generation to generation — each mask symbolized a specific role.

The Head of the House was Embodied Radiance, Tale Of Grace. He was a calm, kindhearted, and wise ancient who guided the dynasty for many cycles and helped those in need. As its greatest gift to the people, House built an iterator named Light of Hope — at the time, a technological breakthrough compared to other existing iterators. The magnificent, shining new city on the structure's roof attracted ancients from all over, and its rulers generously welcomed new residents and dear guests. Light of Hope was considered a full-fledged part of the House, and, as Radiance had bequeathed, he was destined to be their savior and the savior of the entire people. However, things turned out quite differently from the old Head's wishes. When Radiance decided he had fulfilled his life's purpose and went to ascension with peace of mind, his successor among the ancients proved to be not very far-sighted in their management of the House. Over the course of several cycles, for various reasons, House completely lost its reputation, collapsed, and effectively ceased to exist. Its legacy was the city's Supreme Council, which continued to wear the hereditary masks and red robes, but its current members bore no relation to the former dynasty.

Over time, the Council's ideals changed and became more severe, though its members continued to consider Grace their primary virtue. The city remained as beautiful and grandiose on the outside, but within, chaos and harsh laws grew. Light of Hope himself, as a full-fledged member of the current Council, became mired in his own pride, completely oblivious to any deviations from the original ideology, but that's his personal story... ***

(and then my friends asked me to draw Light in a dress-.....)

concept/oc + doodles where i used a different app and didn't have a ref sheet + region concept on yet another app

[44-moved-44]

I tried SO HARD to add color to this image but my program just was NOT working with me

Boom, AXYER's version of Inv!

Inv's actually my second-least favorite scugcat (least is Artificer), I don't like his palette that much, I don't like his design really, the funny based around him isn't all that funny to me, and I guess I'm just not big on his fanon interpretation either, I'm a bit of the fun police when it comes to my extreme pickiness with characters 😔🤘 (tho he and Artificer are the only RW characters I'm genuinely not fond of).

HOWEVER,

I love me a good suffer puppy and as a result I gotta of course get in on that good character torture.

As a result, I have devised this design: A stuffed animal/ragdoll-type slugcat with biological qualities meant to make him hate his little slugcat life!

Including:

•A chubby ragdoll slugcat body that is incredibly frail and requires countless energy to keep functioning

•A wind-up key that is EXTREMELY painful to crank that he needs to come back to life upon death (note: it is not as painful when reviving him as he's too relieved to be alive again) as well as being able to slowly restore his injuries upon being wound up

•Staying conscious while as a lifeless ragdoll upon death until he is wound up again

•A freakish maw that opens wind, allowing him to chow down on some yummy animals (he uses the tongue to lift carapace!)

•Able to dance to whatever song you'd like! (Unwillingly)

•Will never stop smiling, so you can have a happy face no matter what!

•Mind is programmed to have a weirdly massive fixation on an egg (which is a singularity bomb) and will get needlessly hysterical if it is destroyed

I had the conceptual idea that Inv is a foreigner from another world who was sarcastic to an iterator so the iterator just composed a fake reality and shoved Inv into it and gave him a new form. Anger issues man.

He has the Mark of Communication but may also speak Scuggish and English.

[southern-tundra-iterators]

Scenery of the Southern Tundra

The region itself is surrounded by a large mountain range that separates it from other regions such as the Northern coast. Boreal forests managed to thrive in the harsh conditions, giving home and food to many creatures, especially during the very short summer cycles. Broadcast towers have been built across Tundra, however the extreme temperatures and blizzards can cause them to not work properly sometimes, limiting the communications between iterators.

⋆⭒˚.⋆ concept things for my computer girl event horizon :D in the process of redesigning... I wanted to show that she's the newest model and her superstructure is a hybrid of iterator and starcatcher (that things from the watcher), which is expressed even on her puppet's design :D

(upd: about first pic - I made a stupid mistake, the main source for iterators is purified void fuel, but for her it's stardust. she still uses water, but in smaller quantities because she has fewer biological components)

↓ dumb lore and some another doodles under the cut

Old biography hasn't exactly changed, just been expanded with new details.

Event Horizon is the newest model, an experimental hybrid of an iterator and a starcatcher (I think that starcatchers are like energy stations, although in the game we're not told about their purpose). According to her project, she was supposed to consume less water due to her unique construction, which had fewer biological elements. However, during her construction, the idea of ​​Mass Ascension arose, and the project entered a kind of production hell, as no one cared about building new iterators anymore.

Nevertheless, Event Horizon was completed and activated, although some plans were not realized. In the rush, she hadn't been properly calibrated, causing her can to literally fail to conduct energy properly, which ultimately ended… tragically for Horizon.

She wasn't upset about the ancients' ascension, as she hadn't had time to bond with her creators or understand them. She was a powerful, ambitious young iterator, eager to test her mettle on tasks beyond the capabilities of her elders. Her enthusiasm and overconfidence led to a mistake when she ignored warnings from her own systems and the local group senior's advice. Horizon was obsessed with her abilities and power, she wanted to know what she was capable of, what her limits were. As a result, the plating in one sector of her exterior burned out, causing a serious short circuit when rainwater got inside.

[old design] To prevent further incidents, her capacity was forcibly limited to 15%. It was a difficult decision on the part of the group's senior, but it wasn't just her safety that was at stake, it was her life.

Her life has changed a lot since then, as she used to be obsessed with her work, but after the incident, she became a nearly useless group member. At least she's alive and not destroying herself anymore.

Who was she now? This question haunted her for long cycles. However, over time she became a cynical hedonist who prefers active communication and jokes.

[with her "father", Light of Hope]

There's also a lil "comic" with Light and Horizon, and she still has her old design there. I don't like this thing 👺 but at least it shows their relationship.

Light is like a father to her, and he's one of the older members of the group. Back then, she was the one who "saved" him, pulling him back to work, although she wasn't acting out of empathy, simply wanting to share her projects with all iterators of the local group, without knowing any personal boundaries. Well, she unknowingly helped him out of the hole he'd fallen into. Thanks to her, he discovered empathy for other iterators. She became his little star, illuminating the darkness. ⋆⭒˚.⋆
