was listening to some voice lines and thought these cute little interactions would translate well to the sort of post-chapter 4-panel comic pages in a manga, so i also tried to kinda make it look like a page scan to really sell it

#deadlock #viscous #ladygeist

A digital illustration meant to look like a scan of an old manga page. Text in the upper left says "Read right to left!" followed by "Deadlock The Manga". There are four panels on the right with an extra illustration on the left. It involves two characters from the video game Deadlock, Viscous and Lady Geist.

Panel 1
Viscous: You're pretty!

Panel 2
Lady Geist: Um... Thanks...?

Panel 3
Viscous: I match your arm!
Lady Geist: Yes, Viscous.

Panel 4
Viscous: We're friends!!!
Lady Geist: No, Viscous.

Extra illustration
Viscous: I don't have a nose, but if I did, I bet your hair would smell like flowers!
Lady Geist: It... kind of does, actually.

@turnip4wut.bsky.social

me and my friends do not make normal tierlists, so here's our headcanons for what #deadlock characters think of breaking bad. reasoning for each is in the alt text. if a character doesn't have a reasoning, then it's either obvious or a reason was not given by my friends who helped make this.

A Deadlock character tierlist hinging on what their opinions are on Breaking Bad.

Tier 1: Doesn't care about the moral/treats it like a comedy
Seven, Lady Geist (enjoys the suffering of the lower class, but has to stop halfway through because it starts getting too real for her), Mina (same reason as Lady Geist but doesn't stop), Wraith (it's just her real life)

Tier 2: Likes the show but moral goes over head
Viscous (simply enjoys the act of watching TV), Mo & Krill

Tier 3: Likes the show and gets the moral
Paige (makes really long posts about tiny pieces of symbolism like the color of Walter's shirt in a certain scene), Bebop (the old lady whose name I can't remember watches it religiously so he watches it with her), McGinnis, Infernus, Kelvin

Tier 4: Doesn't like the show but gets the moral
Ivy, Mirage (only watches it because Nashala likes it), Calico (it's just not really her jam)

Tier 5: Doesn't like the show or get the moral
Shiv (the show awakens his beast), Pocket (hates bad parents), Holliday (doesn't try to engage with the show at all)

Tier 6: Loves Walter White
Lash, Viper (only partially because Lash also likes him, but it's mostly because she makes bad choices)

Tier 7: Walter HATER!!!
Victor, Vindicta, Billy, Dynamo, Warden (thinks the show should have been about Hank)

Tier 8: Kid named Finger (only knows the memes)
Haze (only experienced the show through people's dreams about it), Paradox

Tier 9: Could really go either way
Sinclair (argues amongst themselves about it), Abrams

Tier 10: Has not seen Breaking Bad
The Doorman (always working, doesn't have time to watch TV), Drifter (anprim), Yamato (doesn't watch American TV), Grey Talon

Tier 11: We don't know you yet
This is where I put all the experimental characters that haven't actually been added to the game yet but for some reason were included in this tierlist- Fathom, Trapper, Raven, Wrecker, Boho, and Venator.

an other-worldly spiritual entity masquerading amongst humans as hospitality staff whose most defining design trait other than being The Ikémen Of All Time is having one weird strand of hair dangling in their face?

eh, close enough. welcome back, sebastian michaelis.

#deadlock #doorman

A digital illustration of The Doorman from Deadlock. On the left is a full-body illustration of him beckoning to the right with a cordial, closed-eye smile. On the right is a closeup shot with his hand over his chest, his glowing cyan eyes punctuating a coy grin to the viewer. White text with a glowing golden halo around it reads "At your service~" and the image is adorned with similarly glowing keys. The background is a top-to-bottom gradient from the burgundy of his uniform to the cyan of his eyes, covered with black polka-dots and bordered in black lace.

A black-and-white manga-style digital illustration of The Doorman from Deadlock. His glowing cyan eyes are the only part of him that have color with a white keyhole shape for a pupil, and he leans in to Kubrick-stare the viewer. His speech balloons read a line that he says in the game: "You have been such a naughty boy lately. Whatever should I do with you?"

In the lower right corner is a personal depiction of myself, the artist, blushing profusely and shaking like a leaf on a tree as one of the lenses on my glasses cracks. Above my head reads in big white letters against a bright red rectangle: "LIVE TURNIP REACTION."

hey guys check out this cool render i made for a video i'm working on

A 3D render of Hatsune Miku in the program MikuMikuDance. She is depicted with her Animasa model with AdultShader, and she is surrounded by blobby black musical notes. She stands behind a studio microphone stand (model credit: TechArts3D, 9844, and ColorsOfOrion) while big text to her right reads: "Silly Songs with Miku." The image is a parody of the "Silly Songs with Larry" title card from Veggietales, and the blank "Silly Songs with Larry" template was made by asherbuddy on Deviantart.

whatever. go my robot.

his name is sandisk (like the sd card) and he's in a rock band. you can def tell i was fixated on voices of the void when i designed him, but i plan on making it more distinct later. the lower half of his face is an LCD screen and he has a retractable charging cord tail.

A digital illustration of a humanoid robot character, duplicated three times and each wearing different outfits. The first figure is completely naked to show off the build details, with white casing and grey ball joints. The bottom half of his face is an LCD screen with turquoise lights to match his turquoise eyes. His fiber-optic silver hair comes down just past his shoulders and is cinched in around his grey and turquoise headphones. The second instance of him is labeled "arc 1" and wears a long sleeved white and blue t-shirt that hangs off his shoulders. Under it is a pair of cuffed denim shorts with a single grey suspender strap drooped over his left hip, and on his feet are a pair of boots that match the colors of his shirt. The third instance of him is labeled "arc 2" and wears a bluish-grey ensemble. His coat's sleeves hang past his hands, but the shorts they go with are shorter than that of the previous outfit. Instead of full boots, he has matching white platform shoes under a pair of bluish-grey leg warmers.

ooh what's this? baby's first comic/manga/doujinshi/thing?

#huntertheparenting #htp

(1-3/?)

Three instances of Guy Chapman wearing a long-sleeved maid dress and lacy headband. There are little hearts in his eyes and anime blushies on his face as a cloudy aura of manga sparkles surround him. His speech balloons read: "Oh! Welcome home, Master! Would you like dinner? Or a bath? Gasp! Or maybe... you'd... want... me?"

Panel 1: Kevin awakens with a jolt, sitting in his cardboard box throne in Chapman's office. It is to be implied that the previous page was his dream sequence.
Panel 2: Chapman turns around in his chair to look at Kevin. Kevin lets a sigh out with a hand to his forehead to bring himself back to reality.
Chapman: "You alright back there?"
Kevin: "Yes... This portion of your accursed job is so excruciatingly boring to someone who's already not used to being awake during the day. Almost makes me want to be out 'patrolling a beat' or whatever..."
Panel 3: Closeup shot of Chapman, appearing to think for a moment. A speech balloon to the left of his face has only vertical ellipses in it, and a piece of free-floating text on the left side of his face reads "Didn't you used to be an accountant?" in parenthesis, implying this to be Chapman's thoughts.
Panel 4: Same closeup shot from Panel 3, only Chapman's face has perked up into a smile. The speech balloon to the left of him has been replaced with a little cartoon light bulb.

Panel 1: Chapman turning back to his desk, but his head is still craned to look behind him at Kevin out of his periphery. Kevin appears confused and a little disgusted.
Chapman: "Well, if it's excitement you want, I know a place we can go once I'm off duty."
Panel 2: Kevin's disgust deepens into a heavy apprehension.
Kevin: "...Forgive me if I'm not immediately on board with something that you of all people call 'fun.'"
Panel 3: Chapman's smile only grows, seeming giddy at whatever prospect he's about to pitch. There's a little music note in his speech balloon at the end of his sentence.
Chapman: "Ohh, it's nothing like that. I'm in no position to pressure you, but I think you might like it."

an assortment of doodles to prove that i do, in fact, draw other characters from this show sometimes. also that panel redraw is either foreshadowing for something or it's willing something into the world, you be the judge. wink.

#huntertheparenting #htp #kevinwettsworth #pyotr #bigd #guychapman

A crude chibi drawing of Big D from Hunter: The Parenting. His big circular eyes stare right at the camera and his toothy grin is wide as always. To his right is a large arrow labeling him in big bold handwritten letters: "THANG."

In the top section, Kevin holds out a couple sheets of paper. His face is flushed and flustered, and he's shouting "THIS IS JUST AN EROTIC NOVEL BETWEEN MEN!!!" In the bottom section is the manga panel from "My Cute Kijima-Kun" that it's based on, where much the same occurs but with the manga's titular character, Subaru Kijima. In between these two sections is a note: "funnie panel redraw from 'my cute kijima-kun'. don't read it, it's bad."

A sketch of Pyotr staring directly at the camera with his bizarro Jeff The Killer face. The words around him are "I hired this Pyotr to stare at you."

A chibi drawing of Kevin and Chapman. Kevin looks like he wants to be anywhere but there and wears a shirt that says "He's mine" and Chapman has a big dopey grin on his face and wears a shirt that says "I'm he's."

#huntertheparenting #htp #kevinwettsworth #guychapman

A digital illustration of Kevin Wettsworth and Guy Chapman from Hunter: The Parenting. Kevin's left arm is around Chapman's shoulder to pull him down to his height level, and his right arm comes up to smoosh Chapman's face in his hand as if forcing him to look at him.

The same digital illustration as the previous one, but it has a scarier theme. The hand that used to be against Chapman's face is now pointing at the viewer, and Kevin's face is shadowed over and his glasses gleam to cover his eyes, with the exception of one of them that glows bright red to indicate the use of the "Dominate" discipline. Chapman's face is completely blacked out as if it were a gaping hole in his head with one eye peering at the viewer. His hands are covered in blood.

A manga-style two-panel comic starring Mr. Palmer, Guy Chapman, and Kevin Wettsworth from Hunter: The Parenting. In the first panel, Mr. Palmer speaks into a flip phone and says, "Detective Seargent, I command you to have hot gay sex with Herbertus." In the second, Chapman cradles a very upset Kevin in his arms and says "Oooouuu oh no Herbie what is happening I can't stop it" to which Kevin responds "He can't even control minds!! What the fuck is wrong with you!?"

#huntertheparenting #guychapman #kevinwettsworth

an illustration of guy chapman and kevin wettsworth from the webseries known as hunter: the parenting. guy is drinking blood out of kevin's wrist, and they both look incredibly embarrassed about it. there are two versions of the image. this is the first version. the words "interrogation with the vampire" are at the top, and a purple box containing the number one and a pink and purple publisher mark that says "June yaoi manga" are at the bottom. additionally, their eyes are pointed towards each other.

this is the second version of the previous image. they are looking away from each other, and the only text on screen is a thought bubble indicating that they are both thinking the same thing: "i hope this doesn't awaken anything in me."
