Look at you, rat. The very sight of you makes me sick. What a disgusting, horrid creature you are.

warmup sketch

i havent actually seen any of the hopefulness comics.. yeah i'm not reading 128 pages of comics. BUT i do think it would be funny if someone modded these into the game, i sadly do not have any coding skill to do such a thing so, whoops.

^{(Dialogue for 2nd picture because I FORGOT TO LEAVE SPACE FOR TEXT})

Biscuit: What do we do with Orion? We have to move out but they're still sleeping...

Stringbean: I guess we'll have to take them with us. Teddy, are you able to carry them?

Teddy: I can, but if they call me a fat oaf again I'm throwing them into a hole...

(3 Doritos later...)

Biscuit: Are you sure you're not overencumbered carrying them?

Teddy: Nah... They're smaller and lighter than I thought. I feel if I sneeze they'll explode.

Biscuit: Snicker Well, it does make sense... Just... try not to drop them.

^{YES I KNOW MILKIES AREN'T CATS BUT I'M GONNA MAKE THIS ADORABLE PRECIOUS MILKY PURR BECAUSE IT'S CUTE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH (raig})

Anyways, this is a joint collab-style drawing that u/roblox_cat and I did, for u/bluewolf3691. We kinda had the same/similar idea about Orion being gonked out of their shmeeve for so long the team may as well carry them if they wanted to leave. (Especially considering how narcoleptic these creatures are... which I'm uncertain if Bluewolf actually planned for their comic [Would explain Orion not waking up in said nightmare, as far as I'm aware narcolepsy causes extremely vivid and horrible hallucinations/nightmares in your sleep])

Poor thing was so goddamn eepy that they needed to be picked up and taken around like another item. Next thing you know they'll legitimately be an item with a description like

"Orion"
"They're knocked out. Seems like it'll take a while for them to wake up."
"Weight: 0.50u"

And yes, Roblox_cat gave me permission to post both their artwork and mine (Then again I did offer them if they wanted to post them both instead xp) cuz it's so hilarious we basically thought the same thing based on a random comment of a foliage bag

I hope all Orion and Teddy enjoyers appreciate this drawing and I hope it brings a smile to everyone's faces. Remember to stay positive and smile :D. Even if Orion barely smiles themselves (I'm gonna sic Teddy to hug them and never let them go and keep them like a squeaky plushie)

Also, Biscuit paw looks off in the top panel because they're amputee on the arm that would be closest to Orion, so they need to use their other paw to gently scratch their head. Orion would probably never accept that kind of treatment but they're asleep sooooooo :3c

(i fucking made them have school bags because i have ZERO clue how to color their damn bags in the first place. dont judge me the comic is literally outline-only)

Either way... I hope you all get a laugh out of this and find both these artworks cute <3. Go shower u/roblox_cat with love too since they drew the first picture. And we both wish you to have a lovely day <3.

^{stop hesitatting with your anxiety and post the thing ive been here an hour staring at the "publish" button save meeeeeee. \})^{Pseudoshork worried noises\})

crude thing i made in like 45 minutes

.......

????????????????????????????????????????????????

Hewwo!

I'm the one that made "I want to play that game but it's too much" post.

Despite my fear and litteraly crying while I saw the trailer I just couldn't resist playing a good survival with a furry character.

(I love furries and grew up on minecraft ^^")

I downloaded the demo and started my first playthrough.

It went... Smoothly!

I was really careful and got to a level 3 with only one paw bleed and hurting head. (Which was still painful to hear him whimpering... But managable) And then I stepped on the mine.

I got so scared and I just couldn't look at him whimpering and screaming from pain.

So I clicked the give up button thinking I will just leave the game out of fear................I got traumatised lmao I didn't mean to kill that little fella he was so scared when he started hearing beeping :cc

But okay I had a break and then came back for a second run.

And it went good! I learned from previous mistskes. But then I feel from a high place and dislocated my feet paw.... I got sad a bit again but not so much anymore. Maybe more of a frustration on myself that I allowed my expie to get hurt? Well I managed to get it fixed and litteraly bleed out from a spikey thing minute later.

And then I died again.

And again.

But with every death feeling of sadness went away... I mean I still couldn't bear the SFX and Dialouge of this little fella getting hurt.

But I actually started to ignore that and just enjoyed the game and got determined to go as far as possible.

I just love the visuals and overall music and sounds in this game they are gorgeous! I found myself just enjoying the artstyle more than actually trying to survive alot hah.

But then I finally locked in. Did everything I can to not let my expie suffer.

And I actually managed to get to half of level 2 without any injury and with high mental level.

Then it started to get tricky...

Well I didn't know anything about that game I found it from trailer and expie memes (the cute ones) so lots of the game is still a mystery to me.

Without knowledge - this game is HARD.

I had lots of trouble finding water and I still dont really know how to fill the bottles up or how sickness works...? But I managed to get lucky with trades.

I managed to get far into level 4 before falling to death while fighting something that look like a spider.

Sadly... That was worst death yet.

He was just lying down, slowly bleeding out, begging for the end.

But luckily I was prepared mentally and in game and just said goodbye to my little fella by making him... Overdose opium for faster death.

Yeah that game is sick.

But I love it!

Despite shreading a tear and getting my heart ripped off every minute by having a skill issue I still had lots of fun exploring and just enjoying the survival aspect of the game.

I still have a lot to discover but I have to say I'm 100% buying this game on full release.

7/10 - would give 9 but poor furry fella getting hurt is sad.

Idk if one was made for this already, but here it is

This page was fun to make. And fun in the "had I posted this yesterday, it would have probably come with an ominous ¨this page may be the last¨ message" kind of way. I am feeling better for now, so I will probaably continue without much of a break for now.

Spring has found his bff.

Its also incredible how a few lines and a bit of white add so much to a drawing

Art by me, made for u/ServiTheFox

my references are happy

one of cas:u's biggest strengths for its atmosphere was its intimacy, it was just you and the guy you're directing down the planet. it sold the loneliness so well, made everything feel like your fault, your bad decisions, you caused this poor thing to suffer. but now there's just this... other thing? that speaks to you? and taunts you? and also apparently the directing thing isn't canon and you're just supposed to be the expie itself but the observer still talks to you and not the expie? i'm not crazy for thinking this is just a massive downgrade in both lore and immersion right

Definitely a drawing I'm proud of. Wasn't too sure I would make it right, the sketch looked a little rough, but after adding details, coloring it in, and adding a background, it turned out very well. I don't often do backgrounds. It's one of my big mistakes, so I'm very happy with this result :b

made in garry's mod, left 4 dead 2, bonelab, and project zomboid
