and when i mean gush

I REALLY DO MEAN GUSH.

(HUGE AF DOODLE DUMP BELOW + ASSOCIATED RAMBLES BOTH IN PAGE AND HERE)

Checking out the third and final (for now) pedal in the Kernom lineup today - this is the RIDGE Multi Overdrive, a beautiful, beastly effect that will change the way you look at your drives…

Kernom - MOHO magmatic fuzz station

a pedal with personality, character - and distinctive enclosure

namely just making them a lil more wrinkly and more on the calm but cheerful side, all this time i thought they were like, 3/4 years older then intern years but they're a senior!

they must have been so full of life even when they're about to leave.

also remembered @dorcushopei's post about the amongi and i had the accessories needed to also get this vision across too!

hey guys! took me a while, but i finally drew some of the other guys! i mostly made this for a community post i did 2 days earlier, but i spent enough time on this that i reckon it can be by itself.

also got some funny interaction notes alongside the original users here!

featured designs:

@lunarduo47 - imagine realizing your entire world was built just to be a test for trainees. imagine that you can see patterns in your coworkers and that they act like npcs because they ARE npcs, and that compared to them, you are not even meant to be alive. imagine now looking through the tiny window and seeing... another you. a you that is alive, breathing, feeling, a REAL you.

@xnotxaxplanetx - minecraft bean 👀 we discussed this earlier, but the fact that they will literally taze everyone and then themself is not only funny, but you (and others) convinced me that it would reveal the impostor via x-ray ah logic! god... a room full of guards has the equivalent vibe of being stuck inside the core of a volcano... very heated and can erupt at ANY moment.

@liedrogenbomb - i think our operators would be buddies! asides the abnormally wide and sharp teeth, they'd probably bond over finding funny bugs in the simulations they're playing. maybe they talk about how their guards might feel about each other (little do they know.)

for those who are already on the server, you saw this earlier because i was making the words here! i ALSO posted some wips you'll see under the cut:

just some stuff i did in the back because i keep going off of on side projects i'll never finish and i got some stuff i REALLY wanna show so badly... :>

some humanized versions! only bust height because i do NOT feel like drawing legs rn (plus its been in my drafts because i couldn't bring myself to color scientist until NOW) my favorite critters (that isn't operator and guard)

test drawing that shows off my stylized versions of guard and captain

(yes guard is wearing heeled boots, and it's apparently to have a better vantage point and see easier through crowds, totally... definitely not because they just like being tall no)

(yes captain is wearing egg earings, guess who gifted them that? they always like to wear little trinkets to represent other crewmembers, a habit they took from doctor. the only crewmate they haven't had a memoria for is... guard. they try to ask guard what they like, but no matter how much they tried, not even a single hint of what they like...) also rip engineer they shouldn't have been done so dirty... (i did that...)

flashing gif and creepy realistic eye below cut: featuring me putting guard through rough feelings (also has some rambly headcanons about the difference between living crewmates and simulated copies...)

...as well as some existential horror for what happens when the game is over.

i did over the days as i think about this game demo more and more ahaha

i'm still working on the notes for the other crewmates in the next roblox post, but in the mean time i got some goodies ere-

an attempt at a turnaround for operator

there was going to be more characters but i immediately gave up after trying to figure out guard's clothes 😅

TWO DEAL PACKAGE DO NOT SEPARATE

an idea about how the holo-lifeforms look like if they were more anthropomorphic!

it's not very clear here, but i like to think that the crewmates outside the simulation would look like regular humans while THESE guys are more colorful (unnatural hair and skin color that matches more with their suit color, and sclera that matches with a secondary color if it doesn't default to visor blue)

also added a couple of cute details that may or may not be fun nods eeheehe

theoretical impostor design for the simulation that MAY OR MAY NOT actually decide to pull a "sadako" and become a REAL threat 👀

as of right now, we do NOT have a clear consensus on WHO it could be... it could be you, it could be me! it could even b-🔪🩸🩸🍗

As I was saying, I could be any of these fools, and you wouldn't even suspect a thing. Once I get even a glimpse of your life here (along with physical evidence) I can swoop in to kill, replace, and kill again~

It's not like any of you REALLY care about the strangers you work with anyways, so what difference is it when one of them turns around and decides to start taking people with them? Would you think they were always like this? Would you even know the difference between them and I?

Your kind are so interesting, especially You. You're just like me, aren't you? Playing an actor to a stage no one knows? We'll meet again behind the curtains, and I'll see your true colors...

ouughh my back hurts... so um anyways-!

silly scribbles with more of the cast!

yknow how it's a vr simulation right

you know vr games? games? games with speedruns?

what if for the funnies, our funny fortegreen operator tries to bug the simulation as fast as possible such that they wrong warp into the credits (or early victory win condition?? there isn't exactly supposed to be a credits for a JOB simulator...)

also the dumbass duo (affectionate) who do their job, but they either don't take it seriously enough, or they genuinely are not trained enough... something tells me they were intern buddies together that cliqued VERY well together

and some extra stuff below the cut pertaining to like.. uh, my insane ramblings about "future plot what if's" and going crazy over the potential crisis between two selves where one is significantly higher up on the ladder a simulated life can bring!!

there's also deltarune references about dynamics i was flapping my hands about, as well as a spoiler for THE chapter 5 weird route cutscene and the SECRET boss, but you would only know it if you.. seen it before.
