//explaining all the little details I put into this cuz it was super fun to come up with :D entire post is OOC
Background: security camera screens, supposed to be reminiscent of Admin control panels. I was gonna replace them with screenshots from the video, but…I got a little lazy…
Andre: Made up most of pencil and watercolors! I like to use traditional art to symbolize humanity, so that’s what Andre’s style represents.
PsychoNetworks: The PNs are also all originally watercolored and outlined with gel pen, but their overlays obscure that. I was thinking this to be like, how individually they all contribute themselves to make one multifaceted human in the form of Andre. (But I still interpret them as a DID-adjacent system lol). Also, I made them all generic/vague humanoid shapes to allude to the fact that essentially they are just trains of thought/consciousness without physical forms. They can look like anything, but that means they can look like nothing!
SIDI: heart imagery!! The body is soft plush hearts, the head is the heart organ. They may be perceived as just overly excitable and a bit annoying, but in the end they are still a vital part of the human experience: positive emotional regulation.
Conzer: i had a bit of trouble with Conzer, but I interpret them as self-preservation and situational awareness. So, I thought it fitting that they would be connected to neuron synapses and brain imagery!!
Feargeyt: Spiderwebs!!!! I don’t know honestly, it just clicked to me. As I was playing around with them I realized the spiderwebs also look a lot like glass with cracks in it, which I thought also fit thematically well. The red box around Feargeyt is actually the crosshairs used to move objects in OBS (a popular streaming software). I thought that fit rly well both with Andre being perceived as a streamer, and Feargeyt trapped inside. Originally I was going to put red binary code chaining them down, but I already used binary for Andre and didn’t want to be redundant.
Ego: I get a lot of my understanding of the characters from this awesome fanfic AFK by @birdnormal , so Ego to me is long-term memory, like they are characterized in the fic. Thus the code imagery that makes up their body. But they also play an important role in keeping the peace in chat, which is why I gave them a (barely visible) blindfold; it’s a nod to the Lady of Justice.
Soup: the timekeeper!!! Their body is specifically made up of stopwatches (it took too long to find an image not ai-gen’d) while their head is a normal clock.
Hehe. Yea. Art is cool and fun. Thank you to Pinterest for sponsoring this post.
