Episode 11 at long last. We've got Rose and Sophodra, we've got ants, we've got human lore, and we've got lots and lots of beetles (including a very weird one). Thank you for sticking with me patiently. Enjoy!!!

If you'd like to support future episodes, you can get pins, stickers, CG models, bonus comics and more in the store!

I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

creating Humans-B-Gone!

Soundtrack, sound design and foley were by @theelectricdreamsofddx, with Gregorsa’s theme by @zestychille, plus additional background art and CG assets by sinclairedelune !

This is also the first episode to have voice actors other than myself. Clef is played by @spidermanifested, the bombardier is @marshmallowturnip, the unsure hiver is @snagerdraws, and the cashier is doodlesnstuffe They’re all extremely talented, so be sure to give their stuff a look!

Going to uninstall the Tumblr app for a while for my mental health. Might not update here for a while.

I've come to the decision that I'm going to limit updates to Patreon and YouTube for the foreseeable future. Keeping up with updates on so many platforms has just gotten to be too much to deal with, on top of all the other work.

Going to uninstall the Tumblr app for a while for my mental health. Might not update here for a while.

Like any child, Sophodra loves playing with her pet dog!

All voice recording is done, both mine and the other VAs!!! Audio cleanup, also done!!!!!

Besides that, I also made the animation tweening function! The audio was a TON of work, though, so that's about it.

Next week, I'll put together the setup for making the animatic (canvas system needs to be integrated, after fixing a resizing issue), and start getting to work on it. Hopefully, the work should go fairly quickly...but, there is a whole lot of storyboard to cover. One or two weeks, we'll say.

After that, I'll hand it over to everyone else for background, asset and music work. Then, time at last to finish up the BrushStroke system with Mother Sophodra's model! Until next time!

Alright, here's some yumeship art of Fey gushing over Gregorsa

Yes, it's a "Notice me, Senpai" reference.

Gregorsa would approve of your use of taxonomy!

Just a lil doodle

You can do this, random hiver! She looks like she hasn't the closest mantis approximation to sleep in days

Question! ✋ Where do Solifugids fit in in the HBG world? Are they labeled as spiders or are they considered their own special thing?

They're part of Solifuge Swarm, which is a Sister Swarm of Spider Swarm! Like the spiders, they don't associate themselves with Arachnid Swarm.

Me: Finally, everything is set up at last!!! Now I am going to record voices, and nothing will stand in my way!

The Train Outside:

Well, Empusa. Don't you want to see what she caught?

Boards are DONE!!!! Not only that, but they're all photographed and cleaned up and converted to Grease Pencil now! And believe you me, that was. A LOT. OF BOARDS. Seven sequences, with an average of three scenes per sequence! This is the longest episode yet, by far.

Auditions came and went, and actors have been found for all three roles! Thank you to everyone who submitted!!!

Young Woman 1 - Mika https://bsky.app/profile/doooodlebug.bsky.social Young Woman 2 - Snager https://linktr.ee/snager Mantis Nymph 2 - Pink https://bsky.app/profile/pinkangel725.bsky.social

I've also updated the episode script to account for changes I made in the storyboarding stage. Plus, I've written Python code to automatically separate dialogue out for generating subtitles, and to make files that are just lists of all the dialogue lines per character. Because the episode scripts were getting so long, they were now absolutely unmanageable without the code. (This isn't counting the additional coding I had to do for more folder and file management in general, or the updates I had to make to the storyboard clean-up set-ups to account for the latest board layout--well worth it, though, for how clean they are now!)

Next week, it's time to record voices! Next month, then, I am going to focus on some very big things:

making the animatic, so my helpers can finally get started on backgrounds, assets and music

updating Mother Sophodra's model for the new system

at the same time, wrapping up most of the remaining BrushRig features as I test them with MS's model--both mechanical and aesthetic! (Only the fur system and some animation stuff would be left.)

updating Empusa as well

and finally, beginning to animate a scene with them as a test of the new system overall!!!

Summer, then, would be devoted to finishing up the other models, the final couple BrushRig features, and...animating everything else!!! It's still pretty up in the air, since you never know what will break, but this is the most concrete estimate I've had for a release date on this episode yet. Exciting!!! Thank you to everyone for sticking with me this far. Until next time!

I have decided I'm not going to kill myself over recording voicess anymore. Especially since most people are watching HBG on their phones! No more hours spent meticulously cleaning up noise from audio, or panicking if I hear even one thing in the background while I record. I've got my soundproofing, I've got my expensive mic, and I'll just let OBS automatic noise filtering and fate handle the rest. Sorry, audio buffs!

I see my future

And it's all of my savings spent on custom and official merch of an American Cockroach from an indie show

Time for voice auditions again!! This time, the roles are:

Young Woman #1: Female-passing voice. Mostly, you'll need to do various grunting sounds for a fight scene. Hyperventilating and crying will also be involved. However, there will be a single line, very emotionally delivered.

Young Woman #2: Also female-passing, also mostly grunting, a couple lines, and hyperventilating. However, this role needs for you to be able to scream in pain. And I mean, REALLY scream.

Mantis Child: A child voice. One of the mantis nymphs, so think of the way child Sophodra's voice sounds. Several lines of dialogue for this one, but that's about it.

As before, I can't afford to pay a lot. In USD, that'll be $40 for each role. I'll keep auditions open until April 28th. If you're selected, you'll have May 5th as the deadline to get your lines in!

Make sure you have good, clear audio quality for this! Send me a test recording from the example lines listed below. You can DM me on Tumblr, Instagram, or Patreon (username for all is humansbgone). It might take me some time to get back to you. I look forward to hearing from you!

Young Woman #1 Lines:

Grunting, fighting sounds

Hyperventilating, crying

Very solemnly delivered: "Wait for me."

Young Woman #2 Lines:

Grunting, fighting sounds

Panting, out of breath: "We need a plan."

Hyperventilating in pain, turning into a scream

Mantis Child Lines:

Excitedly: "I got it, I got it!!!"

Petulantly, arguing: "No, I was gonna get it."

Incredulous, almost more of a statement: "Are you serious."

The role for Mantis Child is now filled by @pinkangel725 ! You never know if I might need an understudy, so feel free to send in submissions for the part anyway if you want!

Young Woman #1 is now taken, and will be voiced by @spideronastring ! Still looking for Young Woman #2 and a chilling scream...

Young Woman #2 will be voiced by Snager!

I make comics!

And with this, auditions are now closed! Sorry to close things so early, everyone--I wasn't expecting to get such great submissions right off the bat, to the point it was instantly hard to imagine anyone else doing them!! I'll be opening them again for future episodes, of course. See you then!

Photos of some doodles and art I made at school yesterday

Sorry if it's a bit dark I just woke up

But I think all of my classmates get the memo; I'm obsessed with a certain character

I'm glad Vera is making friends! Or other demivolute humans that can coexist with her to any extent, at least

#feyfeya78 #fanart #vera

Was going through my photos when I found some mantid OCS my partner and I made

(The last image is me and my partner's sonas during this phase [he's the beetle, I'm the mantid])

(I know this is not my usual post but I swear I'll get back to glazing Gregorsa I swear!)

(Bonus info: My partner's actually the one who got me into Humans B-gone [since we're both obsessed with insects])

Oh no...Sophodra is only the coolest mantis around by virtue of being the *only* mantis around!!!

Finally did something other than digital art... Traditional art!!

A doodle of rose holding a flower in the distance as Sophodra tries convincing herself that she's fine, a drawing of Rose playing Pong, and other small funny drawings and doodles I made with a few references?

I'm intrigued by the backstory some of these images imply....
