Somehow Scarf found an air fryer.

And (hopefully the last link in this growing list), my Ko-Fi profile; https://ko-fi.com/rookmaevsch

Finally got around to recording a timelapse of a page from start to finish. Inspired by u/Derolyon and u/ImANormalMan for their respective showcases of their process.

Sadly, I don't have a means of adding it to the post directly, since it's a video format. But it is uploaded on youtube, which you can watch here; https://youtu.be/salQxJCxelo

There's no music. So feel free to play your own.

What makes me better than other milkys, well, I have a heightened intelligence and due to that the humans use me as a tool during experiments. They allowed me limited access to a computer for research purposes and I want to use this to reach out to other sawians, so, ask me anything.

Extra long page, more action!
Evidently, longer pages aren't that good to do! The more times you have to redraw the same thing, the higher the chance you make mistakes and oversights. I did my best. Enjoy!

quick random ass colored sketches, MY FAVOURITE

Apparently the raincoat is indeed waterproof and covers expie from water. But it doesn't cover tail and legs. Especially when expie sits on wet ground. Shouldy they then wear 2 raincoats?

^{Also while playing Rainworld and Darkest Dungeon 2, I totally forgot about the announcement of C:U release date. So today I was suprised with a good thing :3}

Saw a lot of people demanding some military type stuff, and I recently got into HL2 again

I got a lot done today!

I've always been planning to get the first episode of TSLO69420 out before the game's release to take advantage of hype and new fans. I wasn't rushing too much, as I thought December may be the most sensible time to do it. It is CHRISTMAS, after all!

I was then shot 17 times

Yeah, November 9th... this was a real wake-up call for me. A realization of "Oh crap, I should get way more done."

And so I did. I got quite a lot done on the rig.

So to get into a bit of detail... i'll answer some questions I got quite a bit.

"Will you ever make a digitigrade legs variant?"

I understand that my choice to use plantigrade legs may be a controversial one, but I do plan on making digitigrade legs alongside the plantigrade legs in the future.

I chose plantigrade legs because of how easy they are to draw and use, and how expressive they can be! (And at the time of first drawing everything, I didn't know anything about digitigrade anatomy)

But now, I actually CAN draw digitigrade (albeit, not perfectly)

When I find a way to get the legs working in my style, then I'll eventually include it in the rig. (But at the moment, I just want to get everything done, so I'll save it for the future).

"Do you think you could manage to finish the first episode before November 9th?"

Maybe. It's gonna be a tight squeeze, but I'll try my best to get it out before that date. If I don't make it in time, it should be fine... probably.

"Making the animation rigs is taking forever! Will everything after this take just as long?"

No! The animation rigs are the hardest part, but they allow for MUCH, MUCH FASTER ANIMATION! As for the backgrounds, with the program i'm using, I can create cool pseudo-3d scenes! As for the editing, I have experience with DaVinci Resolve! (The 46 minute C:U gameplay video I did just took 3 days to edit, by the way.)

"Okay, so 69420 is 10 years old. 10 in human years, or Sawian years? Will they act like a child, or will they be more mature?"

In canon, a Sawian's life spam is about half the one of a normal human. Meaning if 69420 is 10 years old, they are likely more akin to a 20 year old human.

Buuut... This is where I took some "creative liberties."

69420 isn't quite an immature 10 year old, but definitely not an actual ADULT. I'd say their mentality is similar to... about 13-14 years old?

69420 is very... inneocent. They haven't been subject to anything egregiously horrible. They think the scientists are just mean people for no reason, they don't quite understand the concept of "life", so they use what they know about to fill in the blanks. Spoiler, spoiler.

I DO want them to act more mature at times when needed though, so it's not like they will be a bumbling mess, but they'll just be... ignorant at times.

"Will TSLO69420 be an unserious comedy?"

No. But... I believe art is a reflection of the artist. I do not view myself as a "very sad and edgy" guy, I like to have more goofy moments to make the serious bits have more impact! (And... also I just like making the goofy bits.)

"How confident are you? Do you think people will like TSLO69420?"

I feel immensely proud of what i've done! Not bad for my first shot... but I'd be lying if I said everybody would like what I'm doing here. Some may not like the artsyle I have, or the creative liberties I've taken, but in the end... I'm just doing this for the love of the game lmao.

Funny how when I was younger, I would eat up Undertale fan content like crazy. Now here I am, 11 years later, making weirdly high-effort fan content myself about an edgy furry game.

Wow. I've really gone full circle.

"Well there's a whole lot of other C:U fan content out there! Why should I be interested in THIS?!"

Aside from the absurd-sounding concept of "a ten year old is sent to a cave to die and joins a gang that consists of a drug addict ex-gambler with a rifle, a cannibal who wants to eat the ten year old, and a Milky that struggles with repressed emotions", I believe that what I do will be... very unique. If you doubt my abilities to something interesting with this universe; read my comic "I've Always Wanted to be a Psycologist". I think it shows how I'll go about things here...

"Where is 'I've Always Wanted to be a Psycologist' Volume 3?"

I felt like I should focus more on TSLO69420, as I felt like it had the most potential to become something "big". But that's not to say I got nothing done! I've planned out and blocked some more scenes, and I want to change the panel format (again) to something a bit more... traditional, yet taking advantage of the verticality of the comic!

For example: I plan on having an elevator scene where you scroll down as Winston descends and thinks about things. It's a pretty fun effect, and I plan on doing more fun things with "the fact that you gotta scroll down to read this".

"Why did you make a Newgrounds???"

I've had a Newgrounds account for a while, and I plan on using it again! I'd want a place where people could see all sorts of things I make that isn't just... C:U stuff. Also, youtube's animation landscape is low-key crumbling. So I want to have an easy backup juust in case...

"Will you ever make FULLY original projects?"

Yes.

Okay, very very long yapping over.

I hope you'll stick around to see this "joke project turned serious" into an actual reality!

I've heard of the community's sudden obsession with air fryers... not too sure what's up with that.

Yippee

Someone is absolutely pissed off.

Also introducing a sawian group found on layer 1, The scrappers

Also brought back the panels

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who sees potential in my story. I'm more interested in sharing a story than showcasing my art, so the drawings might not be the best, but I wanted to bring this idea to life

I'd also like to thank all the comic creators in this community, especially those behind Orange Blooded, Change of Plans, Hopefulness, Accidental-Mindwipe, Dogs in a Bottle, Dont Cry, C:U ArtMonth, among many others. I'd also like to thank those who don't make comics but still inspire others in their own ways. Your work inspires people like me to create our own stories. Thank you

"Josh! Josh wake up!"

With game release at hand, merch is a possibility now.

A squishy Expie trinket would be a really nice item, don't you think?

Would really like to hear your thoughts/suggestions about official merch, if we ever get one.

I feel like the golden age of casualties is starting once more...

more things, more fun, more unknown things to find

Day 15 for the Cas:U Inktober challenge

if you are playing one of the sawians that dislike breaking corpses, you can just ragdoll into the tiles below a corpse from a height to break it with no mood penalty. do note that this does hurt, and is much better done on softer tiles like sand or soil.
