hello mechs fandom i have been dead for a long time but i’ve finally finished (for the time being) the mechs brainrot google doc, a google doc with pretty much every bit of canon mechs material i could find! i’m actually quite proud of this so check it out :-)

Ulysses Dies at Dawn character designs!

Some notes:

I wanted the designs to not be fully human but was having a lot of trouble thinking how to implement that. With no animals in the city, could it be that the people became them? In the end it felt too much to balance, especially with all the augmentation. Let’s choose to believe that even though they look human, there’s actually something horribly alien about them that is simply not visible in these designs.

Music inspo: since blues feature heavily in this album, I figured the 1920s would be perfect. The film noir vibes also worked with this, seeing as the 20s marked a significant transition from silent film into “talkies”. Unfortunately this is an album with one female character and a lot of the iconic 20s fashion is female oriented. Hopefully I managed to make it recognizable even so.

The fashion style is meant to be a mix of 700 bce (Greek Mythology) and 1920s (film noir theme).

Today? I bring you more blinkies. Tomorrow? Who knows :)

[image id: five blinkies based on the Mechanisms' albums. Each of them has the album's respective logo at both ends of the blinkie, and the album name across the center. The first is Once Upon A Time (In Space), which has a red background with white stars blinking in the background. The second is Ulysses Dies at Dawn, and has a blue background that fades into a yellow sunrise. The third is High Noon Over Camelot, which has a orange background, and three bullet holes punching into it. The forth is Tales To Be Told, and has a grey background, with the Mechanisms logo bouncing up and down. The final blinkie is The Bifrost Incident, and has a black background with a rainbow flashing across the text. End id]

If you all could pick anything, anything at all, to have answers too, or a video of, or content otherwise, what would it be?

just learned that the mechanisms song "frankenstein" was originally conceived as part of a set along with adaptations of dracula, dorian gray, and jekyll & hyde. don't try reaching me, I am in mourning for what could have been.

[cryptotheism]

Man, the flesh sucks. I'm gonna abandon it for the machine.

[cryptotheism]

Hey was anyone gonna telle that the machine is also subject to change? The nature of my decay is just different now. Shit sucks. I'm gonna abandon the machine for the divine.

[cryptotheism]

Bad news about the divine

[ID: a digital drawing of Dr. Carmilla holding a bloody knife, with hands forming a broken halo around her head. Dr. Carmilla is a vampire, a woman of color with short red hair, wearing a white kimono with pink flowers, and a black vest. She is looking at the viewer with intense glare, and half her face is dark. In one hand she holds a bloodied tantō knife, defensively, and in the other hand she holds a silver cane. Around her head there is a broken golden halo, held by the Mechanisms' hands. Clockwise, the hands are: Ivy Alexandria, Ashes O'Reilly, the Toy Soldier, Nastya Rasputina, and Drumbot Brian. Some hands hold the halo with a flat palm, while others appear to be reaching to Carmilla. There is another hand grasping Carmilla by the sleeve of her kimono, Jonny D'Ville's. The grasp is aggressive, but there is golden light of the halo shining from his fist. The background is dark, the halo casts golden light on Carmilla. End ID]

Dr. Carmilla the love of my life <3

Wanted to finish this for the last day of @drcarmillaappreciationweek but alas I was struck by the demons. This piece was originally part of the "mechs with swords" series that never saw the light of day, but this one specifically I loved a lot, so I'm happy I had an excuse to finish it.
