Super cool stuff all around.
I was really surprised to see that the soundtrack was made up of pre-existing tracks, because the music choices here fit perfectly with the rest of the experience!
Thank you!!! And Steviasphere's music is phenomenal, I highly recommend checking out her BC account.
this is so so awesome. i loved the aesthetics and cohesiveness of it, and the worldbuilding is super interesting right from the get-go. the cgs are so cool, i love the one in which Lake is down at the bottom of the empty pool. also, the pooltoy textures are so impressively rendered!!
the discomfort of it all is sooo palpable and augh!! this caters to me so hard. i love body horror tf. i love pooltoy tf. love transmasc stuff ofc. this is inspiring me like crazy to make weirder stuff. the writing is super viseral in the best way possible, i love how the narration changes as Lake gets more and more into the headspace.
thank you so much for sharing, i cant wait to see where it goes next!! [frothing at the mouth a little bit but im normal im normal]
THANK YYOOUU!! That's very sweet of you to share :) I wanted the story to feel very tactile both in terms of the writing, and in the artwork. The shiny artstyle when he's in the pooltoy form took a lot of work! The cgs when he's normal are meant to look a bit more gritty and grimy and were drawn with more textured brushes, while the cgs when he's in the pooltoy form are very airbrush heavy to give them that glossy frutiger aero sheen as contrast.
I'm so glad to hear that the self indulgence of the horror and weirdness is inspiring you to make more weird stuff. Everyone got goopy and sticky with it now! lots of slime for everybody.
Really loved this, so excited to see its development!!
Thank you!!!! <3 <3
Capitalist furry dystopia? Body horror TF?? Transmasculinity??? I'm fucking sold, I really want to see where you go with this. Your art's gorgeous, too.
Thank you! I put a lot of effort into the art so I'm really glad to hear that
