• the hrvatski train chugs along
• Part of the Omocat stream has been uploaded publically! It’s not the full thing (there was a short interview prior, Q&A after) but this contains the parts I was yelling about—what shaped the characters, namely, and confirmation that symbolism is Important™.
• “it’s birth imagery” is ripped off a Fullmetal Alchemist manga ?meme-panel-edit—or, uh, I thought it was a meme but apparently not because I cannot track it down again for the life of me >:V It was almost definitely somewhere on this lovely blog, though.
• “old Basil art” isn’t referring to any specific piece, but like… look at it
• redraw ig
• forgot to note on-canvas but the style used in the “prozor duhu” and “unrelated scribbling” canvases is based on some of Omocat’s stream art (nothing specific, just that blacked-out default brush scribbling)
• fun w/ photobashing (standalone upload with credits)
• vaguely-used reference photo for the kids roughhousing (Basil’s body slam just loosely collages various poses from image search results)
• is this sunflower
  • normally I try not to show external images in these but here the sketches were drawn right over the references, so
• no wait this is sunflower
  • I have definitely seen this meme redrawn with Sunny and Basil(? or Stranger) wholesale but do not remember who did it, RIP
  • edit: found it
• dog with the cheetahs etc.

i take writing very seriously.

Hikikomori playthrough is already underway, notes are being taken with zero regard for prelude or context, have fun if you wanna~?
