4C CALLSIGNS AU

With the formal welcome aside, I'm pleased to introduce CCCCallsigns to the world. For anyone unaware or new, this is an AU somewhat loosely based on Chonny's Charming Chaos Compendium by Chonny Jash. Emphasis on loosely; these are my toys! The AU explores the concept of numbers stations and radio transmissions.

As for who I am? Shouldn't be a difficult guess~ This pinned post functions [...will function.] as the post directory and serve to put content more properly in order. Also here will be the main references for the Guys and maybe their items.

IN THIS AU: Heart -> Hertz (uses parentheses) Mind -> Morse [uses brackets] Soul -> Static {uses curly brackets} Transmission -> | USES VERTICAL BARS |

Obligatory cover art !

Obligatory conveniently stealable audio form ! [Be my guest ^^]

Lets start with images everyone has already seen !

14 sprites; 6 day-openers, 6 day-results, one hint, and tiny corner Static from the website reveal

All 12 textbox sprites

the intentionally-few pictures actually Containing Static from the website

And here's a bunch of unused assets!

the draft sketches for my commissioned guest pieces on the About page. I still think these are REALLY cute

the old 5-panel lineup for Static's Intro comic. a lot changed, but a lot also stayed the same. I'm so glad I changed what I did. Everything flows better [i had no idea what i was doing when i made these], and Static's poses are a LOT less stiff.

COUNTING CONTROL UNUSED CONTENT

Still frame and gif render for a scrapped segment of Counting Control, replaced because I decided to break up the language of this scene into two parts.

another gif i never ended up putting into the final cut; when I re-storyboarded counting control, I cut out the entire concept this gif would have been needed for

Tweening segment because Counting Control was originally going to be. mostly just a lyric video instead of an entire AMV! You can now imagine Static singing his heart out to anything you desire.

Scrapped walk cycle that I REALLY SHOULD HAVE USED IN THE FINAL CUT. I SHOULD HAVE USED IT. i was thinking about it last week and I was like "damn if i want to put this in CC i have like 3 days to do it" and then i decided it wasn't worth the effort. he walks away from me forever.

Scrapped gif from the Counting Control intro; they were all originally going to be animated! but I decided against it in favor of the frames that made it to the final cut, on the basis of workload and also quality.

old traditional cover ideas for Counting Control, the oldest of which [left] dating back to 2024

God. ok! That's. that's all I can muster. I dont have to draw this guy for three more months at MINIMUM <3 thank god /silly

Thanks for joining me on. um. this ! I've put in an ungodly amount of work into this project between. basically doing Everything Twice. and. being a fledgling adult LMAO. God willing, next time I cough something up it WON'T be during finals week for the average high-school aged demographic that engages with Callsigns. Whoops.

For those of you who are here looking for the answer... foremost, if you just skipped all my lovely work to get to the answer i am so disappointed in you, go back and look at it [please] and secondmost, if you've made it here and you already had the answer BEFORE ive given it to you, there is a special prize for you in my heart and it's called my greatest and most sincere congratulations! Thank you SO MUCH for playing the game [mostly] as intended and making your way to the end! Sorry for all the evil pressure LOL! I'm super duper proud of you!

Enjoy watching Counting Control as intended, you guys ! I will post Counting Control by itself soon, probably AFTER the Artfight theme reveal, and then in a couple days we can finally wrap up the intro segment of CCCCallsigns once and for all and proceed into Act 1! Or. well. the hiatus that comes before I start Act 1.
