I've been going through some really tough times the last few weeks - said a very hard goodbye, work burning me out, and a new medical condition that needs to be addressed, but it's the little things that help. Came home at 40 rolls. I hadn't been this excited since Boothill so...small joys.

Carolina Realer - aggressive af from jump but with a personable charm hidden underneath the violence, if you have the palate for it. Also, will kill you if engaged with irresponsibly.

I only have one actual WoL and he is a *v srs gai* so the Mandeville quest lines are absolutely 100% canon to his adventures. Outwardly hes making thr cringe kid face but inside hes having so much fun.

Lock screen. Sonnis canonically married to @duskscaledak.bsky.social 's Saith. We decided this one would be Saith's current wallpaper. We love a man who loves and adores his wife. #videnoirealt

2021 vs 2026 Man...hardship does things to a guy. It's been quite the journey, my precious son.

Putting the finishing touches on part 1 of my set and every time I see this particular shot I hear that "Huh?" soundbite in my head and it SENDS me.

I feel like @keeperkihtsae.bsky.social and @videnoire.bsky.social are more than capable of answering this one. *wheeeeeze*

Ya know, ive seen all the cool, sleek cybernetic mods that are out now and while they look absolutely phenomenal, im kinda hung up on the idea that Daken is loathe to part with his OG gear. Not only bc I personally Frankenstein'd that shit together back in 2023, but bc like...hes more sentimental >>

Daken: Hes fairly stoic with new people/hookups. The tell is his cybernetic eye - it's an older model and starting to show its age so the hotter his body temp gets, the hotter IT gets, and the LEDs get brighter. With established relationships, he gets handsy and clingy. >>

Im cackling because this is REAL relevant to my current project. Also true, very true.

- Ol' Iron Horse Rides Again -

"...Howdy. ♡ "

I like to ride the middle lane on this. I mostly aim for rug-pull dialog and "milk, eggs, blowdryer" one-liners. IC, the humor is dry and fits seamlessly into the scene. When just riffing or ad libbing (like at a general club or venue), man anything goes, I live for some gd chaotic shenanigans.

I have one specifically that I am genuinely afraid of being misunderstood, as he is incredibly closed off emotionally and physically until he feels entirely safe. With others, being misunderstood is often the point.

I enjoy the complexity of immediate physical intimacy but a painful slow burn to emotional intimacy. Carnal touch is craved but affection is unnerving. The slow realization of feelings should be terrifying and vehemently denied until it's so obvious *I* want to drop kick them.

Amaris hasn't had any action in a while (like, pre-EW) but I'm still very fond of him. A lil imposter syndrome here bc his face is totally vanilla, I just chose a larger nose option bc I can't see him any other way. His nose is my favorite feature.

Ooo I been got 🖤 🕷 Creepy Crawlies (snakes and spiders especially) 📖 Books/Reading 👤 Character Creation 🔪 General Edge ❄️ Cold Weather 🤔 I guess I'll be nosy and tag: @phaetniexs.bsky.social @tsukiyakii.bsky.social @stackyonaki.bsky.social @zarkorin.bsky.social Only 4, maxed character count.

This....this storyboard is at 49 shots and I'm only about 80% done... I hope y'all's feeds are prepared to be disrupted by dumb boys for a few days. This is so extra, jfc. I'm back, behbeh. 👉😎👉

Starting a new set of storyboard gposes at 3am was a mistake. I'm so tired im not even sure if im awake and typing this or im asleep and dreaming. Guess I'll find out when I wake up this afternoon. Time to flop.

Man....storyboard gposes are so labor intensive but after all the hair pulling, camera frustration, and speech bubble creation, its really worth it.

Daken's would be a Varoom that wandered into his garage to get into his motor oil bottles bc it was starving and he takes the lil guy in and they become total menaces together.

Oh this is fun. Charmander was my very first starter in OG Red Version (go to hell, Brock, ilu Bellsprout) and I'll never not have a Houndoom, Revaroom, or Toxtricity on my team if I can help it.

I can't wait to meet you! 🌱🔥💧 [ #pokemon ]

I introduce to you, Sonny. I would drop some exposition about who he is, but I have a lot of fun projects involving him and Daken (+1, ehehe) coming that will show it better than I can tell it. For now, I will warm you guys up to seeing his face... It'll be around a lot.

For you? Anything. w/ Daken | @duskscaledak.bsky.social #videnoirealt

Back in action, now with 40% more modbeast energy.

On my way to coming back online and sharing my work. I have more thab just Daken now so while hes still the "name of thr brand" hes not the only face so please look forward to it.
