I only draw ugly characters

Sorry for no new art or engagements. Work and other things have just burned me out of any motivation for art atm. Just physically and emotionally exhausted constantly to the point of not wanting to do anything.

I want to promise I'll get back to art, but I can't. Idk when I'll get back to it.

Sorry this is gonna be a little long. No real new art either.

But you got me there. Pest was always a little traumatized being even before being experimented on and turned into an abomination. If you ask them what their life was like early on, they’d just shrug. They don’t know much about themselves either. Whether its due to past trauma or maybe even the short term memory loss, they can’t remember much anyways. That’s why their name is Pest. They don’t remember their own name, but being called a pest was so much of a staple from others that it just stuck with ‘em. A lot of their old personality was a bit all over the place. Sometimes they’d be very quiet and reserved while other days were going off the other end of the scale with freak-outs of any and all kinds.

Going along with the Madness timeline, much of their pre-abomination antics were well before Phobos’ fall. Things weren’t as desolate, but things were still dystopian. So having some hoodlum run around causing trouble isn’t something new, just means there’s more authority to avoid. Gloved Pest, (a nice way to to differentiate between the two versions) was mainly an urban explorer, while they “dabbled” in a little bit of ghost hunting. Running through (sometimes) abandoned buildings, stealing what may look expensive or valuable to willing buyer. They were quite the photographer too, snapping pictures of whatever for one reason or another. They sell most photos to other opposing factors that may want whatever information they can get from them. They mainly hid out in a “rat nest” of sorts in some abandoned building. As if the stealing and picture taking wasn’t obvious enough, they’re very much a kleptomaniac. The pictures they keep are more of reminders of the places they’ve visited since they’re awful at remembering where they’ve been and what they’ve seen. Pest’s “final” days were more chaotic than usual. Plan Zed was released and zombies were a new constant threat. So it only got more and more overwhelming for them out there. With the new threats rising, it would only be a matter of time before they slipped up. Getting killed by the Nexus Core Agents would’ve been more of a mercy killing than whatever the hell they put that thing through. For how manic and volatile Pest would be, it’s no surprise they were damn near instantly thrown into the asylum. Just another patient for the doctors to experiment on. So of course the rest is pretty straight forward. Experiment after experiment to create a new sleepwalker agent. But Pest wasn’t one of the “lucky” ones per say. They failed that education, and now they’ll live out the rest of their little abominated life as some skinless freak who can’t think properly. (As if they couldn’t think much better before all this.) Just a wretched little creature through and through who did what they could to survive and in the end, look where it go them. Sorry if you were expecting some major backstory or traumatic retelling of what their life was like before the experiments. Just a pathetic loner creature who lived amongst the undesirables and related more to bugs than other grunts. (quick edit: here's old art I don't think I ever posted. it ain't much)

We back on it boys. sorry it's been so long

gotta start chipping away at a bunch of a few month/week old asks and requests

Tried to post this the other day while at work and I should've known better than to try that with that place's internet connection.

Have a pre-abomination pest sketch dump that I've drawn inbetween things.

"BEGONE, SPAWN OF PHOBOS!"

Making such a mess as always.

Toying with Pest's unexperimented look. Would be funny if they had a lot of tattoos before, but now they're all gone.
