#xncryptzd

I mostly wanted a design that communicated something was wrong; His appearance is threatening because the internet corrupts Garrick’s way of thinking and his sweating is to convey feeling ill from the excessive add-ons and malware.

I’ve been juggling a lot of ideas for Encrypted for the past few years so I now have other ideas for Rubberho’s transformation. One idea I have is that Katefish projects onto Rubberho with the idea (malware) that Garrick is a disgusting brute, and is encouraging him to embrace it. Garrick doesn’t want to be a monster but his compromised self-image is reflected in the appearance of his avatar. I’m considering having 7ancelot inflict Katefish’s “malware” as he and Rubberho have similar design traits and it might imply 7ancelot was inflicted with the same idea (or was a pig to begin with)
