Considering music seems to be just the right topic, how about 1-6 for Euphix? If that's too many pick whichever you'd like from these!

Oh nooo, no such thing as "too many" when we're talking about music for my extremely musical, sound-based character! The size of his playlist is vast. *rolls up sleeves* (little note, my associations and connections with music and aspects of a character can be nebulous, bizarre or hard to explain and may only make sense to me on occasion but I'll try to explain my selections anyway) BACKSTORY Synchronize by Mind.In.A.Box I haven't publicly posted Euphix's backstory but one day I will. It is...something. In this case the song's lyrics hit pretty close to what he is/why he is the way he is. If you know, you know. PERSONALITY I'm Not Afraid by Emigrate ft. Cardinal Copia Actually hard to quantify in one song, but this one does a good job of it, especially when he starts finding more and more of "himself." ANGST Monochrome by Scandroid Self explanatory as far as lyrics are concerned. Also bonus: A good representation of what his synthesized voice can sound like if he wants, additionally he in fact has full monochromatic colorblindness. COMFORT

Moonlight by Piano Guys Not offering an explanation outside of just listen to the tune and experience it, that is the essence of his comfort zone is just....music. LOVE LIFE Atlantis by Au5 This one is more cryptic. Best hint I can give is, the music he often composes and is most associated with is dark, aggressive minor key synthwave. Turning his musical style and sensibilities to create something with such energy and sense of happiness and clarity? I wonder who could possibly make him inspired with those kinds of feelings? FIGHT SCENE Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Emperor Ing Battle (phase 2) This one is tough because I associate different fight music for different scenarios for him but this one sticks as a major one for a boss fight, especially if it's on his turf. Fighting him means fighting against sonic attacks and weaponized music and noise. The strange, strident beats and layers of sound in this track hit the vibe for me. He's also one of the few characters I could consider "raid boss" level so he's gotta have something that's punchy.

Euphix is not butler or maid material, I’ll be perfectly honest. But I did get a really cool thought in that the butler outfit looks perfect for a musical conductor get-up for him instead! It’s been so long since I’ve drawn Euphix but he’s still absolutely one of my favorite characters ever and it felt so good to make art of him again, even if it’s just a sketch.

Just finished a Posca pin-up piece (alliteration much) of my dark synthwave music man Euphix. SFW crop because it’s too good not to share at least a portion of it here, full NSFW version here.

Whaddya think, should I start doing some commissions in this style when I open again? This is so much fun to do, would love an excuse to do more.

What makes us closer.

I’ve owed @systemagica Eushine kisses for the longest time so forgive me if it took this long to finally deliver. Belated birthday present to her, inspired by the screenshots we both took a while ago. This was a serious media experiment and I really like it, need to get heftier paper next time though.

He’s wondering if he’s doing this “relaxing at the beach” thing correctly.

💔 Euphix, 💛 Z1-9

💔 Euphix

Why: This tune is a solo, with no backing instruments, vocals or even an atmospheric reverb. The tune has structure but the moving line and tempo varies at places which reminds me of emotions “sorting themselves out.” And since canonically right now he’s only ever had one partner and since she is also a musician, the title “Farewell To Music” says enough.

💛Z1-9: This whole song is him in a nutshell, but the chorus especially underlines how he was a manufactured entity with nothing but a serial number and how currently in his story he patently refuses to be locked up again, put under the knife and used as a tool:

I’m not a numberI’m a free manI’m not part of your master plan!No matter what you doNo matter what you sayI’m not coming out to play!

“I was hoping for a chance at a new life but not like this. Anything but this. But it can't be helped, I'll be gone anyway. But I'll live on, of a sorts right? Is that what the spiritualists, the human priests, those that believe in anything higher say? I'll be an entity alright, I'll exist but as something and someone entirely different."
