Caine and Gangle go outside and touch grass. I was thinkin too hard about their Parallels as self-destructive “failed” artists and this was the result.
Brad Bird once said that you can’t create the illusion of life if you haven’t actually lived one, and that’s a line I think about a lot around the Traumatizing Digital Circus. This comic was inspired by: the purpose of making your own art in a world where AI image generators can churn out endless content for you, the way 3D software makes it easy to create infinite spaces but hard to capture authentic hand-drawn human touches, the way all my college art teachers were skeptical of the students’ desire to make anime-inspired stylized 3D visuals right up until it became the new trend in the animation industry—- and how easy it is to get so lost in the technical aspects of art & the consequences of failure that you lose sight of what art is even supposed to be for.
[also: a special thanks to the windows error message generator, this Blender grass tutorial, & all the different poets who wrote about grass— though I’ll let you guys figure out all the Tolkien/biblical/& poetry references.]
I was going to use this as my new PFP… but after finishing it, I realized the design doesn’t really fit the icon circle lol.
Since I already drew it, I’m posting it here! It actually started as just a little doodle to take a break. I personally really liked how Caine looks upside down.
I bet he’s doing yoga or meditating to brainstorm some new adventure ideas!
“I bet you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger…”
*very ooc self-indulgent holy hell
“Go ahead! Guess whose body this is——If you ever want to see him again.” [1/2] This is so ooc I’m never drawing another one after this(I only wanted an excuse to draw Kinger holding his shotgun
The idea is that Caine locked his permission away before anyone else, which caused Cavin to lose all of his admin privileges too——including things like flying.. So everyone’s in survival-mode now. PvP enabled(bruh
