i just wanted to say: thank you to everyone who's been enjoying everything and anything Blackimus related. TSU, SoL, Capsters, whatever. I appreciate you a lot, and I'll always be humble and extremely grateful for everything. don't worry, nothing bad happened. i just wanted to say that. peace!

Acoleyet fans, if you like unredeemable villains who are true pieces of shit while having great personality, you'll feast with EP7. not as much as KIA fans, but you'll get 2nd place. dunno who's gonna be on the 3rd spot tho. maybe the new guy?

found this on Reddit, could be useful for you guys. (I am not affiliated with this)

His Greatness awaits

i find it funny how some fans think Foster is a cutie patootie who wouldn't harm a fly when he could literally make an entire platoon of soldiers explode into red mist with a flick of the wrist if he wanted to. the guy just has the patience of a god and great self control.

So, I woke up, and for some reason I had a really really good way to improve SoL's EP8. I initially just wanted Vixen to be the one given the big spotlight, but I've changed my mind. A lot of other characters will shine as well, you'll learn about their past. tl;dr - lore nuke.

So, 2 years ago, I made a post on Twitter saying that I had made a new record of 9 minutes in a single save, back with EP6 Part 2. Yeah, it's worse now. You guys owe me therapy.

Adding more to this: Slice of Life is where my voice acting shines waaaay better than Scratched Universe. If you ever thought my va'ing in TSU was good, just see SoL - it'll blow your mind. I voice Chica and WILLIAM AFTON ffs. The William Afton impression is still my biggest accomplishment lmao

Lately, I felt like rewatching Slice of Life, see what I've cooked all this time. Still very proud, still love it all, still funny. Except EP1, that one's just cringe. Always was. EP6 remains as the best one. Need more Minireena, Ennard, Damocles, Redemption Form and William Spring stuff.

I turn it off. I get a pop up asking me why I turned it off. I picked the option. They ask me why I picked that option. "I don't want to use it." "Thank you for your feedback!" Amazing.

Even after I SPECIFICALLY turned this OFF months before, they turn it back ON without my CONSENT. That's a sign of great things to come for sure. Luckily, I have the privilege to turn it back off again.

I know your secret, Kia! And I know you'll want to stop me from telling your two comrades, unfortunately for you, I don't know if your stand has the strength to stop a runaway train! Come forth; The Conductor!! @blackimus.bsky.social #scratcheduniverse #thescratcheduniverse #tf2

Errunt Surprise [SFM] youtube.com/shorts/sK8-p... Made a lil' thingie while I work on the main thingie.

i had to, the opportunity was right there

good lighting helps your scenes' atmosphere tremendously, don't sleep on it! this was done with ONE light.

Bastion, aka Commanding Officer Thatcher. This man's rightfully earned the right for his own wiki page and lore after stealing the show during one of the fights most people have enjoyed so far. In those minutes, he gave us a tease of what Stage 1's can do and got inside KIA's head.

Hey guys, bit of an honest update about EP7. I know I said all the characters will appear in it, but that's no longer true since I'm now breaking EP7 into 3 separate episodes. So everyone gets their own segments instead of all appearing in the same episode. I deeply apologize for the bad news.

Smoke can finally have facial expressions inside the mask. We are so back. (before you ask, no, this is not the canon look to Smoke's face)

I'm getting some big Backrooms vibes from this part I'm working on.

The Scratched Universe continues! youtu.be/DV1Fe8FKIyk

i don't like it.

A tiktok that i figured i might as well post here. I just noticed this and maybe im late to the but anyone else kind of stop and go ,wait a minute. @blackimus.bsky.social (feel free to ignore, i know i was a lot in this) #scratcheduniverse #tf2 #teamfortress2 #thescratcheduniverse

Heavy Guy, improved and qol'd, coming in EP7: - QoL'd everything into a single model; - Clipping and improvements to cosmetics; - Body shape more to what I imagined before, stronger boy; - Permanent battle scars! Showing his growth along the series. It's what he would've wanted.

well i'm glad MvM is finally getting a freaking update, its been 13 years. even if they just add maps + missions from potato.tf, that's honestly more than enough for me, personally. fixing the upgrade bugs that were there since launch would also be really awesome.

actual peak

Ruby - a rugged old timer from the countryside, eventually debuts in Capsters. An older, wiser & more mature Sniper. She's Jericho's adoptive mom, owns a restaurant, lives in the swamps of Tooga, likes to explore and scavenge abandoned places, has a farm and hunts.

Newest video, a little fun at the gym with the lads: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YqC...

hope you guys had fun watching part 2! i am very happy and satisfied with it, obviously. i nailed it 100% to what i was hoping for and the entire thing was really fun to make, and i wish to do more stuff like that where the process isn't JUST tedious and hard.

comes out in an hour www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQji...

Part 2 of Capsters EP1 is finished! now its the usual week(s) of last touches post-render. thank you to all of you who enjoy my work, for your support, and for your patience.

A redraw of "The Scratched Universe" series on youtube. I love the horror element in this series to bits. This one scout in particular really scratched that itch I had (pun not intended.)

good ending, all fixed now

Here's an upcoming character: Jericho is an outcast Lickotic who has integrated perfectly into human society in Tooga. He works at a restaurant with the owner - Ruby, who is also his adoptive mom. 2nd image is my design changes with blender. he'll have more sets of clothes.

today marks the 5th birthday for #TheScratchedUniverse! that's ~1,825 days, a pretty long time! thank you everyone for 5 blessed years of TSU + Slice of Life, I'll continue doing my best to deliver for years to come as long as I don't die on the way. see? i didn't forget!

i'm not sure how to say this so i'll just throw it out here: I am aware TSU's 5th bday is coming soon, but I don't really have anything to show, say, or do. i still love TSU, believe me, nobody's taking that away from me, but it just feels weird when I haven't done much lately.

wee blender upgrades to the alentejano lad - moveable hat without dragging the 'stache, no more nosestache

more behind the scenes

being an SFM creator can sometimes make you wish you were dead: simply porting a TF2 map turned into 4+ hours of torture. 1. No HDR on the map 2. missing textures and models 3. missing custom assets 4. 3 versions of Hammer not working with HDR I fixed all of these issues, but somehow...

on a side note, while im not working, ive finally figured out how to port Warframe models from Blender to SFM in my free time as a dream goal. the process is a massive pain in my eternalist ass but im getting there. there's still a LOT of work to be done, but i'm super proud.

forgot to add the picture here too, how could this happen. anyways, Charcoal walking seriously towards something.

okay i am finally done with #Capsters ep1 part 2's 6 min fight of Beanie & Charcoal vs the elusive saboteur. the rest of the vid will be easy. like i said before EP1 got cut into 2 parts: it wont take itself seriously, which in turn makes it great. part 2 is ~8 minutes so far
