If they live, they were likely one-offs and probably won't be showing back up. At least not often lol

I have... at least one exception.
< This guy was meant to be fodder to kill off. The dummy grew on me and got spared.

[long cave]

lol

Stu is a brat!

[ashen kiln]

Yeah, I'm just trying to think of ideas xD

[brave wyvern]

It's a solid start!

[ashen kiln]

Oooh, that's thanks to me learning from anime and videos of artists, it depends who you want the focus to be on, and yeah, it's to make it look more of a dynamic scene, different angles helps.

[ashen kiln]

As well as made a new bean and colored her, she wants to help him, but he refuses, she knows it's dangerous since he could lash out at any moment.

Oooh, cute little bean style.

[long cave]

yes!

you can tell my visors were pretty much still identical to that... 😅

[ashen kiln]

Just a bit.

[brave wyvern]

Sympathetic crewmates make great additions to an imp focus. For storytelling it's really useful to have a crewmate around who'll stick up for them.

I use that motif to help turn imp should 100% have been killed here into more believably survivable situations.

It's more believable for crewmates to hear out another crewmate than to listen to an imp basically saying "trust me bro"

[long cave]

an imp has to give a REALLY good reason for a crewmate to trust them without another crewmate also vouching for them to be left alive.....

[brave wyvern]

White is killing people. ||I can see he's an imp.||
||YOU'RE AN IMP TOO|| WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!
Yeah, that's how I know it's you.

^ Don't do this in game it's rude lol

[ashen kiln]

For my new bean, she has seen him going in and out of the med bay multiple times, looking worn out, while the other crewmates are vary cautious and afraid to approach him, she hasn't seen him kill anyone, even though he's an impostor, she feels bad for him, she tried approaching him when she saw him cough up blood but was rejected.

Still thinking of ideas :3

[ashen kiln]

So, for example, the recent drawing you did of the grey seeker, instead of 2 of the same scenes, the first scene could have had her back turned and further away, while the other 2 crewmates are more of the focus and closer to the screen since they are talking, then have them react in shock when the seeker responds back, she could turned around or have her already be standing beside the other 2 crewmates, then they both run away.

[brave wyvern]

Oh yeah that one was just a work doodle I colored on semi-request XD

That could absolutely be done better. It was an 'I'm bored and doing a silly'

Those two crewmates aren't even in story they're randoms too

[ashen kiln]

Oh no, I'm just giving an example on how different angles can make scenes look more interesting, not about redoing it lol

@brave wyvern The Polus Problem page 21, the top down view of them gathered at the table is good, the rest of the panels could have done with different angles and perspectives, and some extra small panels, but that's just me talking and I guess that would be more work for you xD

[brave wyvern]

Meetings are hell LOL
I DEFINITELY need to try doing more perspectives in meetings. They're so static and need improvement.

Luckily the one I already did was the most dialogue heavy I had planned. Won't need THAT much free space for text anymore.

[ashen kiln]

I could help if you want.

[brave wyvern]

That one in particular I might not actually mind redoing sometime in the future. Dialogue has to stay the same though, don't want to edit that for the clue-seekers.

I've half a mind to eventually redo the whole Mira intro chapter too. More cohesively than the reddit-guided mess it is.

[ashen kiln]

Oh no, the dialogue can stay the same, it's the scenes that are gonna be a bit different so it looks more interesting and dynamic, angles, perspective, who's the focus for each scene.

As well as adding reactions to the beans instead of just text.

But that's adding extra panels for each page.

[hearty raft]

hi

[ashen kiln]

Hi

[long cave]

[ashen kiln]

Also, yeah, you don't need to show the whole bean, specially if they aren't the center focus in the panel, they can be far away, blurred closer to the camera, the hat just showing, backs turned, it depends, but you aren't trying to focus on them, but you still want them there, to know they are still part of the group.

But they can also be off screen too, it really depends on what you are going for.

[brave wyvern]

I do try to keep to around 3-5 panels per page. Once I think I'm going to hit that number, I break the segment into two pages

I do need to add more "silent" panels too.

I rarely do them to try and keep the story rolling, but a little bit of effect is lost in the process.

[hearty raft]

i like the way you make perspective. its simple but cool

[ashen kiln]

Depending on the situation, 1 or 2 panels of silence plus character expression can be good.

[ashen kiln]

Thanks, though it's quite a struggle, man who invented perspective

[hearty raft]

the perspective man invented it

[ashen kiln]

Like with this one, it's all silent, I let the expressions talk.

[hearty raft]

imagine the jordans on bros feet

[ashen kiln]

You can have an entire panel with no text, the expression and action of the character speaks more.

[hearty raft]

thats true but in some cases its beneficial to have text

[ashen kiln]

Not necessarily, it depends, sometimes characters don't have any words to express, so it's shown by action and expression.

[hearty raft]

i like shows that show emotion without any words ngl. just makes it way better to watch

[ashen kiln]

It does speak more than words after all

@brave wyvern I'm such a little anime nerd, but I can help, or try with some scenes if you want, to give an idea.

[long cave]

i read one comic that was literally ALL silent panels.. no text whatsoever. it was very enjoyable.

[hearty raft]

also i rlly like ur anime art.

[brave wyvern]

Sure. Heck I'll show WIP for tomorrow's even
(I am sure a certain someone here will have a blast with spoilers lol)

My uh... WIP process is super messy

Even messier than usual

[ashen kiln]

Sure, alrighty

[ashen kiln]

Thanks

[ashen kiln]

Yeah, or how Sonic Mania animation has no talking, but expressions and actions speak for itself.

[long cave]

well framed scene with good facial expression/body language speaks volumes... silent or not

[ashen kiln]

Yuh

[hearty raft]

yuh

[ashen kiln]

That's fine

[long cave]

[ashen kiln]

@brave wyvern Something like this.

[hearty raft]

nice comic

oh wait i remember the original lol

[long cave]

lol uhhh. the only reason the original got colored in the first place was i needed a full body pic of Prim, in color. i used it as the thumbnail for a video recently 😅

[brave wyvern]

Oh that's pretty good heh

[hearty raft]

thanks

[ashen kiln]

So you can see how I changed the angles, her in the background, while the other 2 were closer to the camera.

[long cave]

[cobalt kite]

Y'all please no Youtube channel promotion

[brave wyvern]

#whatcha-workin-on message
What I'm at currently. First two panels I'm okay with. That last one ehhhhhhhh

Sorry @long cave I dropped the text to dodge that part of spoiler. :P

[long cave]

that is one BIG smile from King.....

[rapid schooner]

i really like trying to convey emotions through visors and eyebrows alone. :3 feel like theres a lot you can do with em

[long cave]

Cyanide is the king of expressions ahahahahahaha

[ashen kiln]

Yep

[brave wyvern]

Last one is trying to reframe this into a single panel.

(Very old)

[ashen kiln]

Without spoiling anything, do you need any help with the panels? What do we got here?

[long cave]

mira

[brave wyvern]

Mainly trying for perspective variety. 2 and 3 are a bit close I think.

[ashen kiln]

Mira means Look in Spanish btw xD

[long cave]

si

[ashen kiln]

For the last panel, are you trying to go for a top down view?

[brave wyvern]

3rd one is basically meant to show that Orange is about to die, without actually showing the kill.

[ashen kiln]

Oh, I have a panel drawn in another perspective.

Maybe have Orange cornered?

[brave wyvern]

Hmm that might help.

[ashen kiln]

There's other ways to make the scene look like King is about the kill Orange

Let me draw a few examples since I'm not on my laptop.

[brave wyvern]

Not secret background is ||Orange and Brown are (were) friends. She did know he had "anger issues" but did not expect him to come at her with murder in mind.||

[misty stream]

why

i just used the ai art as ref. I asked it to draw my character, it did but with its own design, you could just call it it chat gpt's character and i just drawed its character

we're can draw other people's characters, why cant we draw ai's characters. The first image was my drawing, and the second image was just references, so people can understand what i'm talking about – that ai image and my og character

I didn't post an art and said it was mine, i just said i "used it as ref", redrew it

[brave wyvern]

They're saying to post the art but not the reference, that's all!

[misty stream]

i posted it

and posted the refs because people won't understand what the funk i am saying if i don't include it

sometimes it feels like mods are just bots who get triggered at the word "gpt" and don't read the whole message

i would get it if i posted an ai art and said it was mine, but i just redrew ai's art

When we redraw other people's arts, we include the original too. The redraw and the original. Why it doesn't work with gpt then

[long cave]

regarding Crew's ongoing conversation with Zel...i postulated that orange assumed King was possibly suffering from a mental illness with "violence" being one of the known side effects... and he was medicated to prevent the behaviour. to be fair, this is just my theory, and she has not confirmed nor denied. all she's done is hit me with a

she loves to torture me

[rapid schooner]

im like that too sometimes ❤️

[cobalt kite]

Hi, our "No AI image" policy is final and we ask that you not post any AI generated images again or you may have your art posting permissions revoked. This is a server policy.

[misty stream]

it is server policy when people say post gpt art and say it's their art

when they redraw it, it's not

other mods don't complain

[cobalt kite]

No, the policy explicitly states no AI images. "Do NOT post artwork that wasn't created by you. This includes tracing or copying art from another artist without explicit permission. AI artwork is not allowed." (from #fan-art-readme)

[misty stream]

how the heck is this tracing or copying

[misty stream]

I'm not blind

im talking about that my message

how the hell was that tracing or copying

just reference

i don't even care about that stupid drawing, i just don't like that mods don't understand anything

[cobalt kite]

No one said you were tracing? This conversation is purely about the posting of an AI image.

The thing I copy/pasted before was just tne entirety of rule 1 in the fanart readme, my apologies if it came across as accusing you of tracing, that wasn't my intention.

[misty stream]

okay

still don't understand why it's not allowed

okay, i don't care anymore

[cobalt kite]

Because it's in the rules that you agreed to when you reacted for fanart posting permissions. If you don't follow those rules, we can remove your posting permissions.

[misty stream]

okay

rule 1 in #fan-art-readme says that you can't post other people's art AT ALL. It means you can't even if, for example, your friend who's not on this server, so you can't just respond to that message, made an art and you remade it or made an art inspired by your friend's drawing

it's not allowed too?

if it's allowed, why not ai then. The first rule doesn't say it doesn't work with ai arts

[cobalt kite]

The server's fanart posting rules explicitly state "AI artwork is not allowed." They also state "Users who do not respect the above rules will permanently lose access to the fan-art channels." So please consider this your final warning on the matter. If you post AI generated images again, reference or not, you will have your art posting permission revoked.

[gray glade]

Huh

[cobalt kite]

What are the powers? Are they just fire oe are they actually a phoenix n come back after dying?

[gray glade]

...

Phenix can create fire

[cobalt kite]

cool 🔥

[gray glade]

And breath

Bc as 11 trial soul he is 50% of fire huh...

[cobalt kite]

o nice, so they're also made of fire? i was wondering about the half firey mask/visor as well

[gray glade]

HE is made half of fire yeah

[ashen kiln]

Wait huh, what happened here.

[weak vale]

i don't wanna know...

[echo lodge]

[ashen kiln]

Lmao

[echo lodge]

pfft

I have an oc who would go feral for that

[gray glade]

Talked about phenix

[gray glade]

💀💀💀💀

[ashen kiln]

Not that, before that.

[echo lodge]

(She's an Impostor as well)

[ashen kiln]

And you I'm assuming

[echo lodge]

BAHAHAH yes

[gray glade]

Oh??

[echo lodge]

I AM JUST A GIRL

[gray glade]

A GIRL IN A CHAT

[ashen kiln]

I mean, I'm a girl too but damn xD

[echo lodge]

lmaoooo

I wanna make my in-game bean as a like, sona. I have ocs but they're just characters lmao

The mini will be a plushie bc I have no kids yet

[gray glade]

🤨

[echo lodge]

im feral for among us leave me be

[ashen kiln]

@brave wyvern Here's some example I drew.

[ashen kiln]

Mainly for impostors.

[echo lodge]

I love being impostor and I love impostors

My fiance called me professional impostor the other day and I was just like

sir marry me faster

[ashen kiln]

Lol

[echo lodge]

tjskskdkdkd

he says it's scary with that and my soon to be bachelor's degree

in criminal justice no less

[brave wyvern]

Ooo I might grab the perspective on the middle one.
Decent visual compliment to the panel above it without being too similar.

[echo lodge]

Master manipulator✨

[echo lodge]

nice

[brave wyvern]

I used to do sonas but I kinda stopped in favor of characters
I find I can do more with characters.

[ashen kiln]

[echo lodge]

Yeah i make ocs and usually just roleplay with them, since i lack artistic talent

[brave wyvern]

Including torturing them in inhumane ways for storytelling purposes

[echo lodge]

BAHSHDHF

[ashen kiln]

That's always fun

[echo lodge]

If i ever want to torture my ocs, I just make them turn into Impostors

[rapid schooner]

i have my human/stickfigure persona, but other than that no sonas

[brave wyvern]

Seems like a common thing lol. The more someone likes their character, the more awful things the character goes through.

[rapid schooner]

mecore 💖

[ashen kiln]

I have my sona, but everything else is ocs

[rapid schooner]

any sonas i make either stop existing or turn into OCs

[long cave]

nice. lol

[ashen kiln]

It's like I said, you want to focus on characters, 2 of those I focused on Orange while having King more in the foreground but still having a presence, while the first one is focused on King going in for the kill and Orange in the foreground, feeling trapped.

[rapid schooner]

i quite like stuff like that !! :D

with my latest piece it was originally gonna be a side view of both of them, but i decided to have it in the current perspective to not show the crewmate's expression, because Black generally doesn't see the crewmates they kill as people

[brave wyvern]

For characters, I start off with 1 question. For Among Us, that question was "Why do impostors kill?"

Then create a character with traits suited to exploring that question. How to answer why impostors kill? How about start at the source. Get an impostor character to answer that.

Why is the impostor even questioning it though? They kill, they don't need to know or care why. ...So how about one that doesn't WANT to kill? That one would now have reason to ask "Why?"

[rapid schooner]

wawaw!!

[brave wyvern]

Build supporting characters from there. Okay, the imp has to explore the why. To get a why, make it something they used to do, NEED to do, or both. Then ways to keep them safe (crewmate allies) and tossed in a foil (Classic imp, kills because he kills. Doesn't ask why just knows/doesn't care)

[ashen kiln]

Yeah, that's basic story telling, always ask questions about this and that to flesh out the world you are creating.

[ashen kiln]

Cuz to the viewers, readers, they are gonna be asking the good old question "Why?"

[brave wyvern]

And sometimes side characters accidentally become too good to throw away lol

[rapid schooner]

mecore...

[brave wyvern]

While some main group characters fall behind and HOW AM I GONNA FIX THEM THEY NEED SOME SPICE THEY HAVE BECOME BORING.

[rapid schooner]

....meco

[ashen kiln]

Yep, mainly if you have fleshed them out.

[brave wyvern]

This guy:
This guy is a problem.

His roles have been taken by others.

[polar bone]

?'

[rapid schooner]

two background characters of mine became a side character & main antagonist respectively, because i got too attached and fleshed em out too much 😭

[ashen kiln]

Yeah that happens

[long cave]

i like monty

[brave wyvern]

My green bean's purposes in the story have been ursurped by other beans and what he's left with is being the stweard of his dead brother's pet lol

And that's not HIM, that's the DOG.

[rapid schooner]

poor monty

[long cave]

poor monty

[brave wyvern]

Gotta get him something new

And not just like, Flavor of the Week gimmick

[ashen kiln]

Rip Monty

[long cave]

i like the hints at something you've thrown in there... but no idea how you'd actually carry it out... lol

[brave wyvern]

lol I plan on leaving that as a 'Maybe, maybe not.'

[long cave]

LOL and you knew exactly what i was talking about instantly

[ashen kiln]

Leaving you in the dark once again.

[brave wyvern]

Especially since to get that in-game, you have to use a super specific collab-only full outfit. Which is not his vibe at all.

[long cave]

truuuuu.

[brave wyvern]

He's meant to be a young recruit. Not an old geezer lol

[long cave]

that's teh in game thing, but the fact that it exists? that may leave a door open for you, if you can come up with a creative reason for it

[ashen kiln]

Would be fun to have my impostor working with yours Crew.

[brave wyvern]

I have been leaning into the canine-qualities. Fits well with the colorblind aspect. But what to do with that is unknown.

[long cave]

i'm strongly thinking of drawing a funny one panel one shot of my character standing with a few of Crew's characters in a funny situation

[brave wyvern]

I have a few actually! And one that could count as two, since his personality changes majorly.

And completely open to letting them helps out other people's stories lol

[echo lodge]

I love this omg lol

I have too many headcanons

[ashen kiln]

Would be fun, interacting with other characters that are not my own, and see how it goes.

[worn sparrow]

what is this place I didn't noticed it before!!!

[long cave]

lol. you have 5 still alive that i can quickly think of/remember... plus Prim

[ashen kiln]

Fan art chatter, we chat about beans

[rapid schooner]

fanart chatter, here we talk about art and among us characters

[echo lodge]

Beans

[rapid schooner]

bean

[long cave]

[worn sparrow]

I just dropped my cosmicubes. I hope the litthe girl who will be got it will be love it. and I surpriesed to never seen cosmicubes in real

[ashen kiln]

That's quite neat.

[rapid schooner]

I'm sure she will :D

[worn sparrow]

Long time ago before cosmicubes she got a crewmate but she now wished for a mini and a kitty so I made them. In a cosmicube just to be accuret to what we can see in game too but the mini because its just a mini, didn't have an ID card as the crewmate has.

[ashen kiln]

[echo lodge]

It's such a cute gift

[echo lodge]

I love mini crewmates sm.

[gray glade]

._.

[ashen kiln]

Who do you think would be suited to interact with my impostor? Aside from Con, already interact with him as a mini.

[long cave]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[ashen kiln]

They are basically children, to be protected and cared for.

[long cave]

each one of her imps so different from each other. 😂

[echo lodge]

Absolutely

[echo lodge]

I have one in game and sometimes, when I die, my friends will go to the location and just stand next to my mini

[ashen kiln]

Mine is an overprotective parent with my mini impostor xD

[echo lodge]

My impostors are hardwired to protect children- even if they're not their own kids or even mini crewmates

[echo lodge]

BAPY

[long cave]

King definitely is not wired that way. 😅

[ashen kiln]

Yep, and look where he is now without his parent.

[ashen kiln]

King: Hey, can I have the kid?

[echo lodge]

I have one oc who will adopt pretty much any child lmao

[long cave]

lol yes

[echo lodge]

In one roleplay, she adopts a mini impostor after his (crewmate) mother abandons him

[brave wyvern]

Uhh short overview:
Con (Slow to trust other imps. Will turn on them in a heartbeat.)
King (Good one-time partner. He'll take off to do a lil hunting and defaults to being a good imp partner)
Brown (||King's future.|| He takes jobs as bodyguard for crewmates.)
Torstu (Good enough partner but trusts slowly. He's VERY salty about what Con did to him.)
Coralline (Youngest of the group. About Monty's age. Switches between crewmate and impostor. This gets explained eventually.)
Rosemary (Has a pretty face and a polite tone. This is deception. She's a monster once her prey is cornered.)
Honorary mentions:
Cyanide (Not an impostor. But doesn't care. He'll take whatever side he feels he's most useful on and would not hesitate to shoot someone.)
(Scientist. Does have a history of ||tracking impostors for research purposes, but not in a manner that crewmates would approve of...||)

[echo lodge]

I have so many headcanons that I made Google docs about them

[ashen kiln]

Mine had no one, and now grown up, well, one crewmate is trying her best to reach out to him, despite how dangerous it is to her life.

[echo lodge]

I've got an Impostor researcher oc. She's very ethical in her work, but she also:

-has 4 red bulls for breakfast and wine for dinner

-doesn't know what "a break" is

-will turn into an impostor on purpose (despite my hc process being super painful)

-always annoyed

[echo lodge]

[brave wyvern]

Uhh, also specifically on minis... Con is slightly afraid of (crewmate) minis. He has his reason, the incident will not be spoken of, and he will berate King for teasing him about it being funny.

[worn sparrow]

I would like to chat but its so late 0:51. So see ya next time hugs the minies

[long cave]

bai!

[echo lodge]

I have an oc with a child but the child is an adult lmao

Gn!!

[worn sparrow]

Good night and sweet dreams

[ashen kiln]

But who do you think would be suited? Judging by how my impostor acts so far.

Byez

[ashen kiln]

Heart explodes

[echo lodge]

My friend drew her with their oc once lol

[echo lodge]

She was also adopted as a baby by an Impostor couple who couldn't have kids on their own, which is what led to her career

[ashen kiln]

Neat

Oh I was talking about heart exploding due to the amount of caffeine from drinking 4 red bulls xD

[echo lodge]

BAHAHAHAHA

[long cave]

[echo lodge]

Yeah she has actually had heart attacks but despite being a literal doctor she said nah

[long cave]

smh. doctors

[echo lodge]

Let me just inject myself with a parasite that will put me in excruciating pain for a week and then i will have to eat crewmates until I die

(She actually did that once)

[long cave]

this is too real by the way. source: MIL was a nurse for 40 years. never EVER went to the doctor unless she was literally on death's bed.

[echo lodge]

lmaooo

[ashen kiln]

"Death will have to drag me before I even go to the doctor"

[echo lodge]

My other doctor oc mainly delivers babies but she specializes in other areas for MIRA missions. She's the chief medic because miss researcher lady doesn't know what "self care" is

She's an Impostor ally (since her son is one) but got his father ejected on purpose for being abusive

[long cave]

yewp

[brave wyvern]

Hmm with the interaction as a mini, that puts a little timeline in place for an adult interaction. After that it depends on the situation.

By that point, it's be Brown and not King. Who would be on the job, most protective of whomever his crewmate client is. He would likely preemptively confront another impostor to scout how much of a threat they are to his paycheck (Which he only gets if no one on the shift dies).

Torstu could come into play, though one of his allies isn't ready yet.

Coralline is still like, a teenager. Could be coupled in interaction with her father (Cyanide). Not sure what they'd get up to, but Coral's prone to being a wildcard of excitement and Cyanide's prone to being a sarcastic jerk.

[echo lodge]

You could literally tell Verde (research girly) to go see a doctor and she'll say "f-k u I AM A DOCTOR"

[ashen kiln]

Verde, Spanish for Green lol

[brave wyvern]

Liv is a crewmate, but also like, imps best friend. You can kill somoene in her face and she'll still say "No, we're not ejecting anyone"

[echo lodge]

She is a green bean XD

[long cave]

Cyanide is the epitome of a sarcastic jerk ||with a lowkey death wish||

[echo lodge]

I have two other ocs named Morado and Armarillo

[long cave]

brown and yellow

[echo lodge]

Purple

[brave wyvern]

He 100% needs (and will refuse any suggestion of) therapy

"I'm not insane. I just know my place."

[ashen kiln]

Purple and Yellow

[echo lodge]

Yes

They're siblings

[long cave]

i'm amused that ||i seem to be the only person to call that out so far||

[echo lodge]

Verde isn't related to them tho

[brave wyvern]

The first step in solving your problem is admitting you have one.
And he doesn't believe he has one.

[ashen kiln]

Then an interaction with Brown would be fun.

[brave wyvern]

Also I'm totally not procrastinating right now nope not me

[long cave]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-of-course-not-no-nope-pass-gif-13441444

[ashen kiln]

So how would Brown react to my impostor, who basically seems out of it due to the experimental drugs?

[long cave]

suspicious glare to start off with, probably. lol

[brave wyvern]

Hmm... First thought would be someone hired him, worried about the known impostor. Brown doesn't reveal that he is an impostor unless it becomes necessary.

Reaction from there may depend on who did the hiring. The question asked would be if they would be uncomfortable with contacting an impostor for extra help.

[ashen kiln]

So who would do the hiring for Brown to guide a crewmate?

[brave wyvern]

If the client isn't against the idea, revealing actions aren't off the table and it's be a matter of monitoring and restraining if things start looking dangerous for anyone.

[brave wyvern]

That's something I have thoughts of an eventual little series of, but the client is literally any crewmate that would feel scared enough to get a hired guard. So basically, a random.

[ashen kiln]

Oooh

Is it like a night shift?

[brave wyvern]

Priority #1 is Not dying himself. Look you can't get paid if you're dead
Priority #2 is keeping the client alive.
Priority #3 is keeping everyone else alive, as many as possible. Including any impostors, when applicable.

[long cave]

Brown = bodyguard extrordinare. he is a tall and intimidating presence

[brave wyvern]

Nonlethal force is used until lethalities become unavoidable.

[ashen kiln]

Because when you die, gotta pay the ferry man xD

But yeah, straight forward, then get client to safety, get paid.

[brave wyvern]

He puts it in contract that if ANYONE ends up dead, then no payment is required. For a few purposes.

To not give him incentive to grab a little snack on his own (He's still an impostor. The craving isn't gone). To encourage keeping other impostors in line instead of just killing then (and consequently sending crewmates into panic because someone died), and it's deemed that if someone DOES die, then protection wasn't superfluous. Someone actually needed help.

(Plus if he had to reveal himself to do it, they've got potential blackmail on him and MAYBE don't mess with that little problem)

[ashen kiln]

Yeah, that would be the end of his career.

So if a crewmate dies, he'll just simply eat it? If no one is looking of course

[rapid schooner]

mmmmmm snack

[ashen kiln]

Snacky

[long cave]

mmmm. tasty lore

i know stuff that hasn't happened yet, and i've guessed stuff... but i certainly don't know everything. so this is a very fascinating discussion.

[echo lodge]

I am very fascinated

[long cave]

have you read comic?

[echo lodge]

I've read several lol

[long cave]

hers.. teh whole thing?

[echo lodge]

my peanut brain can't even remember what I just ate for dinner

[long cave]

LOL mood

[rapid schooner]

ive been reading crewbait's comic whenever its posted here :3 think i commented on it a few times

[echo lodge]

Mind you I am 4 months from earning a bachelor's degree how am I even

existing

[long cave]

CONGRATS

[echo lodge]

lmao I'm too amogus brainrotted

I could yap about my lore all day

[ashen kiln]

@brave wyvern What if Con bumps into him again, last time was when he was a mini, now as a young teen, how would Con react to his situation?

[echo lodge]

If you want my big ass impostor lore folder I can dm it lol

[ashen kiln]

Yeah, I can see that, specially you liking the muscles lol

[echo lodge]

And even just the game in general. I spend hours hosting

I have an infodump video

[rapid schooner]

mecore

[ashen kiln]

At least you can write stories, I suck at them myself xD

[long cave]

saaaaaaaaame

[echo lodge]

hehehe

[brave wyvern]

cough nope not me doing a whole comic JUST TO EXPLORE THE LORE

[echo lodge]

I love my impostor babies

[echo lodge]

I can't draw so i made Google docs

[brave wyvern]

I almost commented on that lol

[rapid schooner]

i made a couple mini comments

[long cave]

dammit. lol

[rapid schooner]

*comics

idk how i messed that up

[brave wyvern]

He actually wouldn't. Kind of like fighting an addiction, or what I've heard of recovered alcoholics.

Not a good idea to go back to something you shouldn't have.

[echo lodge]

If i do write a story, like on my own, I might write about my impostor captains journey to that role in particular

My storytelling is usually just with someone else ecks dee

Idk what I'd call it though. Something catchy.

[rapid schooner]

i called my story "Shadows in the Wind" !

[echo lodge]

Ooo

[brave wyvern]

I do have ONE bodyguard mini-storyline planned down the line where he's forced into situation of kill or be killed. With a crewmate. Which is planned as his one time completely failing to protect a client, in the worst way possible.

That'll be fun when I finally get to it.

[long cave]

you figured out real quick you had to be careful what you could and could not say to me

[ashen kiln]

Oooh, i see, keeping the beast in a cage, in hopes it doesn't break out.

[rapid schooner]

MIRA is the wind, and the antagonists of the story (imposter crew, leader was wronged by MIRA in the past and seeks revenge) are the shadows

[hearty raft]

helo

[rapid schooner]

hai

[brave wyvern]

Some characters I need to be EXTRA careful!

One of them has mildly misleading info and I am going to laugh when the misleading bit comes out. No I will not tell you which one.

[long cave]

...................

[brave wyvern]

And now you will be scouring info to find something that's false XD

[echo lodge]

Lmaooo

[rapid schooner]

we love sending friends on wild goose hunts /silly

[ashen kiln]

What about Con meeting my impostor again, not as a mini, but as a teen, no parent and used a guinea pig by a scientist just to stay alive, how would Con react since he's not exactly that trusting of other impostors?

[brave wyvern]

I can make it extra confusing by saying it's not technically false, just slightly jumping the gun. :)

[long cave]

first thing that popped into my head just now was "Font is a damned imp pretending to be tracker isn't he." lol

i know you have something up your sleeve for Donner, but i don't know what yet. the only real info i had on him was how you played him in games, which was "YEET!"

[hearty raft]

fish

[brave wyvern]

Oh I forgot to reply on that one sorry.

At that point... He'd be coaxed by his crew to be lenient to other imps. He's surrounded by a group that are all fine with a guest that's behaving. Just button, share the info, and discussion happens from there.

Other imp would be alerted that if someone dies, EVERYONE knows who's responsible. Don't try it. They know how to accommodate for imps at that point so take-out isn't necessary. Order take-out if the desire to kill is too strong (order a delivery, kill the delivery crewmate, there will be no consequences).

[long cave]

doordash just got a whole lot scarier

[brave wyvern]

If travelling, similar situation. Alert travel partner, confront other imp peacefully but outside of a meeting. Emergency meeting with a crew they don't know is far too risky.

Travel partner would be at least one or more of three specific crewmates, but the third I can't say yet because spoilers lol.

[ashen kiln]

Welp, rip the delivery crewmate

[long cave]

attention, your uber eats driver is arriving now with your pineapple
mmm. dinner and desert

[ashen kiln]

xD

[long cave]

||Brown doesn't like pizza, but he does like pineapple||

[brave wyvern]

He likes anything big enough to chomp on lol

Watermelon, squash, pineapple...

[long cave]

i wasn't lying

lol

[brave wyvern]

The pizza thing was originally a gimmick. But now has a lore reason. It is not nice. :)

[long cave]

i have TWO single panel one shots i want to draw now. lol

o no

[brave wyvern]

King is an incredible jerk to a certain crewmate 100% on purpose. And not the first one you'd guess. :)

[ashen kiln]

So what would Con do since my impostor is not only out of it and could lash out at any given moment, but simply refuses help from anyone, would Con leave him be? Would he talk to the scientist? Not get involved in any of this?

[brave wyvern]

Hmmm with a scientist in the mix doing unethical experiments?

That may be cause for a bit more of a mutual discomfort.

[long cave]

i have no guesses currently

[brave wyvern]

Maybe even cause for reporting the crewmate to... Something I can't say yet.

[brave wyvern]

Someone would INSTANTLY figure out some spoilers

[long cave]

AHAHAHAHAHAH

[brave wyvern]

No idea who.

[long cave]

not a clue

[ashen kiln]

Yep, but many crewmates already know, but still steering clear of him.

[long cave]

i don't even remember anymore what was the first jump in logic i made that made you put the brakes on big time on what you were willing to let slip in casual conversation

probably that silly little ||"error"||

[brave wyvern]

Probably be steering clear of the scientist, himself. And contacting his friends so they'd know he's near a dangerous crewmate.

Whoever he'd have as a partner would be the one actively trying to aid the other imp. Especially if it's Liv. She may very well get into trouble for non-subtle activism.

Liv has practically zero sense of self-preservation.

[long cave]

she is very.... vocal

[ashen kiln]

Who's Liv?

[brave wyvern]

[brave wyvern]

Lime crewmate, insists that ejection is overly cruel and not an option, ever.

That would absolutely extend to cruel experiments

[ashen kiln]

Ooooh

[brave wyvern]

And will without shame tell off anyone who says otherwise lol

[long cave]

she is... very outspoken. XD

[ashen kiln]

She's basically the definition "Fuck it, my mind will pour out of my mouth"

[long cave]

and also always skips. no matter what. because ejection is cruel and we just haven't tried hard enough to just get along

[ashen kiln]

Liv be like "Listen up you bastard crewmates, ejection is cruel! Are you listening?! We need to stop and try to understand impostors better!"

[brave wyvern]

Came from a crew that purposely went looking for an impostor to reason with to start a movement, knowing full well some of them would die trying. And a couple did.

She's the sole survivor of those crewmates, but not because of the [first] impostor. They got assigned to a shift with another group that was the exact opposite (first impostor was not assigned with them at that time), and those ones ended up ejecting everyone but herself, one of them, and [a different] impostor. She promptly sided with the [second] impostor.

[long cave]

and then she'll turn around to the imp and say "you really need to stop eating crewmates... you need to work on that attitude problem"

[long cave]

poor Liv

[ashen kiln]

Well, they got along enough to eject her.

[brave wyvern]

(Skeld ejecion is so convenient because that stupid thing crewmates throw out is a perfect deus ex machina)

[long cave]

she accomplushed her goal. sorta

[brave wyvern]

The survival answer is right there

Polus takes a lot more creativity.

Wonder if I'll remember to do that surviving-Polus-eject short when the time comes or not lol

[long cave]

i'm being ignored. lel

[brave wyvern]

I'm totally stealing for Polus ejection survival if there's no objections when the time comes XD

[long cave]

hell yes

i love it

[ashen kiln]

Lul

[long cave]

Arty just got too sussy

[brave wyvern]

Cameo imp, used to being ejected for just being a sussy little thing, knows full well how to survive it casually lol

[long cave]

[echo lodge]

Random but in my lore, Impostors can survive without oxygen (oxygen sab), so when they're thrown out of the Skeld or MIRA, they don't suffocate to death, they starve to death bc no crewmates to eat.

[long cave]

"yeah, don't mind me, i'll be back tomorrow..."

"didn't you get ejected yesterday too?"

"yep"

[brave wyvern]

Yes btw, imp #1 is :)

[long cave]

not exactly what i was asking... lol

[echo lodge]

lmao

[long cave]

but good to know that for sure

[ashen kiln]

Main character

[long cave]

scroll up silly

[ashen kiln]

Me?

[brave wyvern]

I don't see it

I don't know what that means! XD

[long cave]

lol

smh

[brave wyvern]

#among-us-fan-art message
Oop! Danger!

[long cave]

o he has wings too? cool

[ashen kiln]

@long caveUh yeah, i was already drawing that in the previous drawing

xD

[long cave]

i keep forgetting not to comment in the fanart channel. lol

[ashen kiln]

Since his parent also had wings.

[long cave]

very nice. he still looks pissed. lol

[ashen kiln]

That's his usual attitude

[brave wyvern]

"I am helping you but I am not happy about it"

[ashen kiln]

Due to his parent dying while he was a mini.

[jagged orchid]

I love a good tragic backstory

[long cave]

don't we all

[ashen kiln]

Yup

[ashen kiln]

Basically yeah xD

[long cave]

lol "is detective the silliest? 67% 100% "yes"."

[ashen kiln]

Yes

[brave wyvern]

Brown's "tragic" backstory is already in the open. If I do things right, his main tragedy will look worse and worse over time.

Until it culminates in one final choice. :)

[jagged orchid]

oooh sounds dramatic

[brave wyvern]

That self report one reminds me of a time someone had to start a game with 4 people XD

[ashen kiln]

Lul

[brave wyvern]

Buttoned asap to vote imp, two of us (me included) assumed it was White because they skipped keys and voted white, while they protested the whole time

While the real imp was shouting "I THINK IT'S ME" and self-voted

We thought they were trolling

[jagged orchid]

haha

[brave wyvern]

... they were actually imp and the two of us that just killed white were left looking like idiots. We deserved that lol

[jagged orchid]

"hey guys im the impostor"
"nah"
"no really-"

[brave wyvern]

Appropriately, the impostors name was, in all caps, DRUNK

And in future games we were pretty sure they were, indeed, just that.

[ashen kiln]

Always the funny moments.

[long cave]

lol you drew that one

[brave wyvern]

I drew it twice. Second tome with extra liberties taken lol

[ashen kiln]

Meanwhile, the ghost of White is yelling at them.

[echo lodge]

Lol! I always get the thing about keys.

I know a few people who either fake or skip keys on purpose

[brave wyvern]

I have found that as a general rule of thumb, barring exceptions that always skip keys on purpose, skipping keys is more sus* than faking keys.

* People on the lower half of the spawn in circle skipping keys IF vision is at .5 or lower isn't sus. They didn't see the task.

[long cave]

i skip on purpose about.... half the time when i am playing as

[echo lodge]

yeah. i usually advise people to just go with the crew if keys are a common. it's never worth the headache.

[long cave]

is sus on purpose

[rapid schooner]

i don't skip / fake keys but i do vent in front of people when im an engineer

[long cave]

and i have honed it to perfection

[echo lodge]

Lol

[echo lodge]

Same

[long cave]

i'm the opposite.

skip my keys, hide my venting. if you catch me THEN i'll tell you

[brave wyvern]

This is because if I am imp I will kill her for venting. :)

And vice versa

[rapid schooner]

😭

[brave wyvern]

Gotta get rid of those little rats in the holes

Engineers are a great thing for imps to fake... and a dangerous thing to leave alive. Spying on your kills out of sight.

[long cave]

to be fair, we are both INSANELY PESKY to actual imps when the game hands us venting priveledges

i become almost uncatchable unless someone remembers to call comms a lot.

[echo lodge]

One time I caught an Impostor red handed through the vents, but some butthead kept tying the vote and ONLY voted the imp AFTER I died.

[rapid schooner]

i just vent to my tasks a lot as engineer, i love doing tasks

[long cave]

oh don't get me wrong. i LOVE venting...

[rapid schooner]

this is why my main bean is a crewmate

[echo lodge]

I just like venting period

[long cave]

i just try to avoid doing in front of someone unless i have to

[echo lodge]

If i make a sona, she'll be a shapeshifter since that's my favorite role to play as overall

[ashen kiln]

[heavy crypt]

You make sonas based on the role you like to play the most
I make sonas based the role I hate to play the most
We are not the same

[brave wyvern]

Me looking into "Why can't shapeshifters also be phantoms"

Because [REDACTED]!

And let's make both of them have huge personal costs to become, in order to also explain why some impostors are just normal impostors!

If we get another imp role.... Time for round 3 of ||torturing impostors to explain the role incompatibilities!||

Crewmates don't get the same treatment bc their roles ar just jobs and hobbies.

Except for the self-explanatory GA

[ashen kiln]

[rapid schooner]

mmm yum angst

[tribal echo]

mmm

[echo lodge]

bahahaha

in my lore, the role abilities (ss/invis.) are very physically demanding.

injury and chronic conditions can result from overdoing it, it's called strain and it's very serious

the most severe cases involve paralysis(shifters) and losing limbs(phantoms)

[tribal echo]

oh jeez

i haven't been very active but

[ashen kiln]

Buut

[tribal echo]

i think phantoms in my canon would be dead imposters (though only certain imposters become phantoms post-mortem) and when they go invisible, they are just swapping to their ghost form. perhaps they're controlling a corpse and need to work to make the corpse invisible, hence not being able to stay invisible forever and having a cooldown. if they get killed again then they die forever perhaps

[echo lodge]

ooo thats a cool take

[polar bone]

This whole server has so many individual headcannons/lore of their own on the game with are unique and special.
Its interesting to see these (and see how close we are to any actual lore in game)

[ashen kiln]

Me who doesn't play the game

[polar bone]

ur lore in ur art is still cool tho.

You can imagine stuff just knowing the premise. you don't need to play

[rapid schooner]

same here! one of my shapeshifters had to stay shifted as someone else for a long time, and it took a toll on em physically for a while

[rapid schooner]

peak 🔥

[worn sparrow]

I'm back what did I miss?

[ashen kiln]

Not much

[tribal echo]

all that rly matters (if you want to be more game accurate) is that you know the rules/basics of roles

[ashen kiln]

I just break the rules

[worn sparrow]

what did you do?

[ashen kiln]

Nothing

[worn sparrow]

[tribal echo]

they mean breaking the restrictions of among us roles

(for example, one of their imposters has wings)

[worn sparrow]

I need to eat. Cause my brain not braining when I'm so hungry.

[echo lodge]

ik i love it sm

[echo lodge]

mine is short and shifts into people taller than her to reach things

as a result she has chronic nausea

[worn sparrow]

My impostor characters:
Leaf has tendrills
Seed has tendrills and a flower not exist
R.Ed can shapeshift into a draconita

[worn sparrow]

Aw poor thing, hope she will be get better.

[tribal echo]

unfortunately it's chroni

[worn sparrow]

Yup I see but Hope die last!

[brave wyvern]

Third one for shapeshifter being physically demanding. It gets used sparingly because it drains energy very quickly. Prompting its user to get a bit hungry.

But that's not the dark part of it :P

[echo lodge]

lol, abilities dont affect hunger for mine. but shifters can eat the skin they leave behind!

[brave wyvern]

The forced unshift happens whn the user can't hold it anymore. More experienced shapeshifters can hold it for longer periods of time.

[echo lodge]

it has medicinal benefits for them specifically, like if someone made a vitamin tailored to you

[echo lodge]

yeah thats kinda my thing, usually for those who turned. born shifters get a head start once they hit puberty, so their bodies grow with their shifts.

[echo lodge]

shifter skin can also indicate health problems before symptoms manifest!

[brave wyvern]

The dark part of shapeshifter for mine can be either a positive for the imp, or a unthinkable negative. Depends on the individual imp.

Smae for Phantom, but that one's a lot more risky to gain.

[ashen kiln]

[brave wyvern]

Hmmm actually Imma delete that detail and hope someone doesn't see. hehe

[polar bone]

😭

[brave wyvern]

A different someone XD

[ashen kiln]

A certain someone

[polar bone]

still
i didn;t get to see

[brave wyvern]

I'm distracting said someone in game rn.

[echo lodge]

im playing hns lol

[long cave]

heh

[polar bone]

xd what...

[long cave]

me

[ashen kiln]

Yup

[polar bone]

[long cave]

[polar bone]

[brave wyvern]

oh no did I fail to dodge the secret thing? XD

BRAT! XD

[polar bone]

I definitely know what is going on

[long cave]

what's going on is Crew and i are giving each other sht. like usual.

[polar bone]

XD
alr ig.

[ashen kiln]

Funny bean ghosts cooking lol

[glossy delta]

How would they eat the cookies

[polar bone]

the living do

but ghos must do task

[glossy delta]

True

donuts. for the living.

[rapid schooner]

#among-us-fan-art message king please do not the mini 💔💔💔

[long cave]

ooh. don't read the next page then...

[polar bone]

nooooooo

[long cave]

sorry!

[polar bone]

orange minicrewmate....

[rapid schooner]

he was a bit hungry 😔

[long cave]

||just a light snack||

[polar bone]

OMGGGGG

WHYY

[ashen kiln]

xD

A little snack

[polar bone]

OMG YOU'RE ALL MONSTERS.
IK THAT WE'RE IMPOSTERS, BUT THATS TOO FAR.

[polar bone]

especially for you zel

[ashen kiln]

I wouldn't eat a mini

I'm not that cruel.

[long cave]

hey. i didn't eat any minis. that was King doing that!

[polar bone]

You led him to that and (possibly let that happen)

[polar bone]

how could you joke about that then...
🙂‍↔️

[ashen kiln]

I do however, have an oc impostor who basically would love to eat anything he can get his mouth on.

And he has rows and rows of tiny sharp teeth in his mouth.

So like a shredder

[rapid schooner]

yay!!!!!!!!

[ashen kiln]

Because why not.

[polar bone]

?

[ashen kiln]

Oh, that gives me an idea to draw another oc.

[polar bone]

my oc would never even think of this

[ashen kiln]

He just has one thought and that's food.

[rapid schooner]

most of my imposters dont bother with minis, either because its not a good food source or for actual moral reasons, but I do have some that gladly would ❤️

[ashen kiln]

I'll draw an oc impostor who eats crewmates, but in a different way that's more beneficial.

[long cave]

i led King nowhere. he took himself there on his own two legs. quite eagerly too, from the look of it

[long cave]

they just snack size. barely.

[ashen kiln]

Barely

[polar bone]

You would need at least 5 to suffice tho...
like they are so smol

like to make u slightly less hungry

[ashen kiln]

It's like eating an apple.

[polar bone]

I would say its less than that

[long cave]

altho... unlike a whole crewmate, which an imp can't easily and quickly eat in one single sitting, so usually just bites and runs with the top half... they can just scarf down a mini whole

[polar bone]

yea but i mean, that seems more filling.

[ashen kiln]

Yup

[long cave]

as Con said. "we leave half for a reason"

and also, in the context of this comic we are discussing, King has basically been forbade from eating any of the crewmates present. he has to find his food elsewhere.

[polar bone]

yea i agree with that

[long cave]

the mini was an attractive snac pack sized short term option since the parent was already gone

[polar bone]

they are "getting along"

[rapid schooner]

purble is one of the ones who does it mostly for moral reasons, cuz they have a ravenous ass appetite, if they didn't have morals they'd eat everything

talkin like my main oc isnt a crewmate with a crewmate mini

[rapid schooner]

he was allowed to! they just didn't realize that was what they were agreeing to ❤️

[polar bone]

he wasn't "allowed to"

[long cave]

HEY. he ASKED. they said yes. not his fault they didn't ask questions what an imp wanted a mini for

[ashen kiln]

Liv is quite happy about it.

[polar bone]

lmao

anyway... Orange's death wasn't explained right?

Like im not missing anyhting
i don't really know charas and story, im tryna find them all

[rapid schooner]

so far the extent of the explanation seems 2 be that orange was ejected

[polar bone]

yea i kinda though that

esp from their reaction

[ashen kiln]

I made a new impostor, he looks pretty cool, just gotta color him.

Oh yeah, i think he's gonna be my favorite already xD

[polar bone]

ohh.

can't wait to see this masterpiece

[ashen kiln]

Deciding on colors is a pain

[polar bone]

you'll make the right choice

[ashen kiln]

Ok done

[polar bone]

oh wow.
as i said that...

[ashen kiln]

New oc

Instant fav

[polar bone]

HE LOOKSSS AMAZING

[ashen kiln]

Indeed

[polar bone]

the spikes are so menacing.
he is the vulture of amongus

[polar bone]

Exactly how i imagined his personality based on the first image

[ashen kiln]

Yup

[ashen kiln]

[gray glade]

Bro drew new oc 3 times hehe

[echo lodge]

hi so I love them

[long cave]

it was explained how they (probably) died, but not who did it

[hearty raft]

hi

[brave wyvern]

||A mini snack. ||

[brave wyvern]

The explanation at this point is Red saw Orange was gone via vitals and hit the button.None of them know who did it, but the imps were accounted for. :)

And the thing with the mini is to showcase that ||a difference in how imps and crewmates think, and King doesn't see crewmates as much more than livestock||

[brave wyvern]

oooh is he also spared for science?

[ashen kiln]

[ashen kiln]

Since I barely made him up, I'm not sure yet, but he's quite laid back, doesn't care for other crewmates, but came to a truce with them if he is given any recently dead crewmate killed by other imps, promising to not kill anyone and will even help them if he's rewarded, he's true to his word on that, but he can be quite the jerk to crewmates, insulting them from time to time because he thinks it's funny seeing them as animals.

He has his own big walk-in freezer to keep the dead bodies to eat later (Because who would want to smell decomposing bodies) he's willing to share with other imps who are hungry.

[echo lodge]

That's literally my headcanon for imps on mission- the freezer thing! My impostor captain will give her fellow imps access to the freezer (accessible via card swipe), and she's very strict about sharing.

[ashen kiln]

Mine is just open to it, cuz he knows he can take advantage of the living carcasses (his favorite thing to say to crewmates).

He's my instant fav oc

[brave wyvern]

I'd say my main cast would sometimes store a body... but only if King dragged back an extra for later from a hunting trip lol. Not enough for a whole walk-in. Won't even last long.

Them kills are fresh and self-made.

[echo lodge]

I lub him too

[ashen kiln]

Mine just cares that they bring him his food, and he's happy, he'll cooperate, no hidden backstabbing, no ulterior motives, he's honest about what he says, if there's reward for him by the end.

Like if it was him instead of King looking for the orange mini crewmate, he won't eat it nor do any harm, despite seeing them as prey to be eaten.

[brave wyvern]

The mini thing was planned so long ago lol. A way to show off that King is, indeed, definitely a more standard impostor than his buddy

And also based on a game update that was maybe a bug? Honestly we never found out if it was a bug or a feature they tried and reverted.

At first, dead player's pets could be seen by everyone. Then suddenly in an update they could only be seen by ghosts

The implications of that being the pet died with the owner.

[ashen kiln]

Oooh

[brave wyvern]

That change was reverted a few updates later, with no mention of it ever happening.

[ashen kiln]

Nothing to see here

[brave wyvern]

Patch (the dog) following Pumkin (the GA) was also based on very definitely a bug.

From a time when a Guardian Ange'ls pet would follow them from other people's point of view, but not their own.

So the living would see this random pet running around on their own. Often near impostors.

[ashen kiln]

Bugs are always funny.

[brave wyvern]

(I love taking bugs and game mechanics and placing them in as story elements)

[ashen kiln]

Leads to the weirdest moments

[ashen kiln]

Unexpected written story.

[echo lodge]

omg same, a lot of my impostor lore explains game mechanics

[hearty raft]

hi

[ashen kiln]

Hi

[brave wyvern]

When I finally get to Fungle though I'm taking big creative liberties on what Mushroom Mixup does.

Don't eat the mushrooms. Especially don't let IMPOSTORS eat the mushrooms.

[ashen kiln]

Get high

[rapid schooner]

fungle is so interesting to me lol

[echo lodge]

LMAO yes

I'd imagine MMU doesn't affect Shapeshifters as much given it does temporarily change appearance.

Like, their bodies are already used to that

[brave wyvern]

They absolutely get the munchies and that isn't good for anyone. :)

[echo lodge]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[ashen kiln]

Yup

[echo lodge]

Yes

[rapid schooner]

definitely gives some story ideas....

[brave wyvern]

A hallucinating imp with the munchies. Don't think about it. Or do. :)

[rapid schooner]

sounds like a disaster waiting to happen

[ocean shuttle]

Well, now I can't stop thinking on an Impostor just laying down on the floor with it's visor turning rainbow colors.

[echo lodge]

you know, I wonder something. If this poison role they're teasing is an impostor role, I wonder how much of it would connect with the Fungle. Maybe the place has mushrooms with properties similar to whatever poison they use.

[brave wyvern]

I'm bringing together enemies for Fungle too. So that will be FUN. Unfortunately it's also a long time away.

[ocean shuttle]

Considering how Fungle somehow has a Lab, maybe an Impostor tried and brew something during night time?

[ashen kiln]

Dude, i was already thinking of giving my new impostor some deadly abilities, those spikes he has that can inject poison

[echo lodge]

Maybe!

[echo lodge]

Yeah, and if poison thingy is for impostors, I'm gonna make it a fourth variant.

[ashen kiln]

xD

[brave wyvern]

Considering I was POSITIVE that Phantom was going to be a ghost and Noisemaker was going to be an imp, I am not taking guesses on what team something like "Poisoner" is lol

[echo lodge]

Yeah, I work the imp roles into my lore by making them variations of the same parasitical species

[brave wyvern]

And we got that trailer where an implied impostor is shown dead in security at the end.

[echo lodge]

PFFT. I did have a dream that yes, it's an imp role, and it's a delayed kill mechanic

[echo lodge]

That is true... my guess is it's one of those people that acts sus as hell but is a crewmate lmao

[ashen kiln]

No idea about the poison role, I was already thinking earlier on making my impostor a poisonous type, which type of poison, not sure yet.

[echo lodge]

I've already gotten some ideas for if it is an imp role. Impostors would be immune if they produce the poison, the other 3 variants would be mildly affected. Crewmates- fatal.

[brave wyvern]

As much as

• I dislike the idea of a crewmate that can kill (balance reasons. It's stupidly strong)
• I assume "Poison" would be like the modded "Vampire" (delayed kill)

I learned from last release of roles to not assume what Innersloth will do with roles.

[echo lodge]

Yeah, I do like theorizing, but waiting for the reveal is worth

[brave wyvern]

HOWEVER I have also learned that Innersloth is also very good at actually thinking about roles before throwing them in.

Unlike modded which asks "Can we code it?", and if the answer is "Yes" then it's going in. Balance and game design be damned.

[ocean shuttle]

I think it's up to Hosts to balance Crew roles via settings.

[brave wyvern]

And that is why I like vanilla better than modded, in a nutshell.

[echo lodge]

Yep. The settings can decide if a role will be unfair to one side or not. Shapeshifters? Great! Just don't make them the only impostor.

[rapid schooner]

ah, the curse of comics, not being able to get to a really fun part for a while

[brave wyvern]

I won't go into it here because I write full essays on it but... The short version: 1x100% of all roles when they're team-exclusives is shit game design, and instead of fixing that flaw they added a terrible bandage on it called Assassin/Guesser, which is the absolute worst thing to be added to Among Us, period.

And I stand strong on that. :)

(I write literal essays and this is not that channel hahahaha)

[ashen kiln]

Hmmm, maybe I'll make my new impostor venomous instead of poisonous, since he has spikes, he can make more into tiny needles and shoot them, but thinking

[ocean shuttle]

I think I'm only decent at doing regular Impostors, and something people probably has made before called Traitors (regular Crew who's betraying the rest of the crew).

[brave wyvern]

If we get another imp role... hmmm I've run out of imps to represent. Problem.

[ocean shuttle]

I think I need to learn how to draw bean perspective.

[ashen kiln]

Raises her hand

[ocean shuttle]

Serious question, what can I use to draw that has layers? (But like, actual layers, on pc)

[ocean shuttle]

?

[ashen kiln]

Krita

[ocean shuttle]

If anyone asks why, I only have paint 3D out of all things to do amongus.

[brave wyvern]

Con and Coralline have to stay as normal imps. With the catalyst I use for creating extra imp abilities, that is a trade off they would NOT take.

[ashen kiln]

I can help with that

[brave wyvern]

I use Medibang, which is on PC as well. (Though I use it on my phone)

[ocean shuttle]

I will install Krita and Medibang to test, and try to make some beans on those.

[ashen kiln]

I use Krita, I've tried Medibang

[rapid schooner]

i can't help because i only use ibis paint x and the PC version SUCKS 😭

[ashen kiln]

I like the many brushes Krita has, the smooth zoom in and out shortcut

[ocean shuttle]

What I usually did for drawings with background was to extend the image a bit to the side, draw bean there, and moving it later inside.

[ashen kiln]

Well, like I said, I can help with that :3

[ocean shuttle]

Let me try the drawing programs, and I'll ping u once I have the beans ready.
(If you're okay with pings)

[ashen kiln]

Alrighty

We'll start by using circles.

[ocean shuttle]

Would it be okay if I post the beans here?

[ashen kiln]

Sure.

Circles and action lines

If not, I can record myself drawing it so you can see.

[ocean shuttle]

I'm installing Krita rn

[ashen kiln]

Oki

[ashen kiln]

To zoom in and out, it's Ctrl+Space and then drag the arrow up and down on the canvas.

[brave wyvern]

I can't draw well with a mouse. I need my touchscreen.

Should I have a tablet? Yes. Do I have one? No.

[long cave]

that's a hill she will die on. and i stand in the same spot.

[ashen kiln]

Welp

There are tablets that are cheap that you can buy.

[long cave]

she said three years ago that she was going to get a new phone to replace her positively ancient iPhone.
guess what.
has she?
|| ||

[ashen kiln]

Well, I guess I can say:

"Then suffer."

[long cave]

😅

[ashen kiln]

[long cave]

she draws on that iPhone, too....

😅

[ashen kiln]

There is drawing tablets that are less than 60 bucks

Usually for computers though

[long cave]

i may actually consider aquiring a drawing only device. i draw on my phone too. and it makes my eyes blurry if i draw for too long. ||getting old sux||

[ashen kiln]

If you have a laptop, you can get a drawing tablet

You just need to try and draw without looking at the tablet, since it's not a screen tablet.

My old tablet lasted me for about over a decade, got a screen tablet and my old tablet decided to die.

[long cave]

i don't normally use a laptop... but i have an old one laying around.. along with. uhh. heh. a chromebook that i tricked into running windows10 instead

the chromebook has a touch screen

[echo lodge]

I have a tablet. It's e-ink tho

[long cave]

i DO have a very small drawing tablet for my desktop, but its awkward because i'm not used to it

[brave wyvern]

Hey look I'm cheap and frugal!

[rapid schooner]

I've used only my phone to draw for ages 😭

[long cave]

i've drawn LOTS of stuff on my phone at this point

[brave wyvern]

My drawing improved like 500% when I swapped from Paint.net on PC to Medibang on a touchscreen.

I learned that day that yes, the program and medium used DOES matter

Pixel art still is pure PC though. Haven't done that in years but I loved messing with sprites

[long cave]

i did a few drawings with illustrator/photoshop... and while they were.. passable.. it took FOREVER... tried medibang and same thing. night and day change.

[brave wyvern]

I still use Paint.net for text.

[long cave]

lol same usually. unless it's handwritten stuff

[brave wyvern]

But only the text and final layering stuff

[tribal echo]

i've only used tablet and my finger

i use sketchbook to draw and ibis for excessive text

used to only use ibis

[ashen kiln]

I added extra beans

And gave him a name

[long cave]

axl is a very approriate name for a bean that looks and acts like that. 😅

[ashen kiln]

Yuh

[brave wyvern]

Crewmate Left has a good point they should all be trying to answer XD

[ashen kiln]

Simple, usefulness, can do jobs that would kill a crewmate.

[brave wyvern]

On my current page I think I'm almost done with the art side. And moving to text.

I took my sweet time not just for procrastinating (okay yes I did a lot of that too) but I'm playing with effects and doing things that both do and don't work lol

Can't learn new stuff without making some fails on the way

[ashen kiln]

[gray glade]

Yo did another art

:3

[brave wyvern]

Hmm I think I'll take a little more time here to start incorporating a suggestion.

A bit of extra effort, but worth hopefully.

[long cave]

in the mean time, i drew a thing too

[ashen kiln]

I'm also drawing a thing with my new impostor.

[gray glade]

Huh

[ashen kiln]

So mean to the shorty

[gray glade]

?

Wut

[ocean shuttle]

I tried krita rn
(I can't show what I've tried so far tho, I'm on phone.

[ashen kiln]

Your drawing silly.

[gray glade]

I know

[ashen kiln]

How was it?

[gray glade]

Just trial souls

Drawing their true style

[ocean shuttle]

The layers do the entire difference, and I don't mind having to fix the lines of the paint by making another layer.

It's a 10/10 so far.

[ashen kiln]

Yeah, most art programs have layers.

[gray glade]

lel

[ashen kiln]

Just try to keep track what layer you draw on

You don't want to accidentally draw on the same layer of the sketch

[long cave]

i've accidentally drawn in the wrong layer and not figured it out till i'd drawn a LOT of stuff

[ashen kiln]

[long cave]

[ashen kiln]

This is why i lock the layers

[long cave]

like, i drew on the sketch layer of my most recent comic. by the time i realized it, it was easier to just delete the sketch lines manually and clean it up

[ocean shuttle]

Trust me, every single drawing on pc until now was made with paint 3D (the few ones I made before), having layers feels so good.

[long cave]

layers is soooo nice

[ashen kiln]

Yes

Just lock them

[ocean shuttle]

That's why I name them to something relevant, like: body, visor, body fix, etc.

[ashen kiln]

I don't lol

Rarely

[ocean shuttle]

I think I will forget to do that eventually.

[ashen kiln]

@long caveWhen crewmates forget impostors have mouths.

[long cave]

poor

[brave wyvern]

#among-us-fan-art message
It's fun making in-character commentary in game XD

[gray glade]

Lel

[brave wyvern]

#among-us-fan-art message
That poor crewmate XD

[ashen kiln]

Yep, job sucks even more xD

[long cave]

it was too funny to pass up

and i love staying "in character" any time i borrow a character that isn't my own

[ashen kiln]

It's okay, he won't do anything, true to his word.

But he sure likes messing with crewmates, just to scare them.

[brave wyvern]

I mean, I'm sure if they die... XD

[ashen kiln]

Oh no, he's not escorting nor protecting crewmates nor anything, he's given jobs that would be too dangerous for crewmates to do, since they would die easily.

If he finds some are dead, he'll just take the bodies.

[ocean shuttle]

How do I remove a reference from Krita?

[ashen kiln]

What reference

[ocean shuttle]

I copied a picture of a random pink crewmate for the colors, and idk how to remove it

[ashen kiln]

Show me a screenshot of it

[modest sun]

right click, cut

[ashen kiln]

Because it should have the trash icon or right clicking the layer

[ocean shuttle]

Aside from the fact that it's on spanish, this is what I have so far.

[ashen kiln]

Lucky for you, i'm Latina, so i can read it xD

Just look for the layer of the copied reference and delete that layer with the trash icon on the right.

I tend to hide and unhide layers to see which one i'm looking for.

[ocean shuttle]

I did it.

[ashen kiln]

[ocean shuttle]

I removed it, I just went trough every single individual option on the toolbox-

[ocean shuttle]

I think I'll be using Krita now.

[ashen kiln]

Hurray

[ashen kiln]

This is mine.

[ocean shuttle]

howmanylayersarethere-

[ashen kiln]

So, i'm the type to do different sketches in 1 file

[ocean shuttle]

Ohhh, that makes sense.

[ashen kiln]

Yep

Until it gets slow, then i make a new file

It's like having a sketchbook

[ocean shuttle]

Originally I was going to give pink the red jacket + mini crew on head and a megaphone, but i got lazy-

[ocean shuttle]

That's a really good idea.

[ashen kiln]

I've been doing that for yeeears

[jagged orchid]

I've tried to do that before but my device couldn't handle it haha

[ashen kiln]

I use a laptop

[ocean shuttle]

I think I'll stick to make some "funny" scenes and/or sketches of 5 specific beans I used before.

[ashen kiln]

[jagged orchid]

I do most of my art on an iPad with a stylus
Works great but the problem is the iPad has like no storage so it gets laggy if I do too much in one file

[ashen kiln]

Dunno about ipads since i'm an android user xD

[ocean shuttle]

I only tried drawing on phone once, and that drawing has been in limbo for like 2 or 3 years now.

[ashen kiln]

@brave wyvernSo for the comics you posted earlier, i'm drawing an off screen page with my impostor in the lava pit, listening to the conversation.

[jagged orchid]

Haha fair

[ashen kiln]

A small laptop with a cheap drawing tablet would be nice for you.

[ocean shuttle]

I have the laptop part.

[ashen kiln]

Whatcha think of my new impostor?

[jagged orchid]

I like them! Their constant hunger for bean bodies is amusing to me haha

[brave wyvern]

Nice!

Even with the storyline itself being pretty set in stone, I'm totally down with other storylines springboarding off.

They're off of Skeld now and onto a whole dang planet with other groups on it, after all.

[ashen kiln]

But he will cooperate.

[jagged orchid]

I also think having the visor completely covered is fun from a drawing perspective, have to convey a lot more through body language
The overall design is cool

what color is he?

oh wait nvm I scrolled up lol

[ashen kiln]

Ah

[jagged orchid]

Yes that's the image I saw haha

[brave wyvern]

We need Lavender

Or whatever you want to call it

[ashen kiln]

Don't have one.

[ashen kiln]

I named him Axl

[jagged orchid]

The hand color is nice too, I like the angled lines between the colors

[brave wyvern]

No I mean in the actual game lol. We need a light/pale purple

[jagged orchid]

I like that, it matches his personality

[ashen kiln]

Ah xD

[ashen kiln]

Gloves with chains on it.

[jagged orchid]

agreed, we need more cool colors in general

[jagged orchid]

Nice

[ashen kiln]

Oh nothing will change for the story, just a little off screen panel for fun xD

[ashen kiln]

Yup, and sounds cool.

[brave wyvern]

When I was fleshing out personalities for my two imps, I pictured them inside someone else's storyline to hash out how they'd interact

... And that is why the otherwise bully of the bunch is terrified of imps with tentacles. Because that's not normal and scarier than he is.

[ashen kiln]

King? Or Con?

[brave wyvern]

King is the one scared of imps with tentacles lol

[ashen kiln]

Lol

Then he would hate one of my imps.

Tentacles with eyeballs

[ashen kiln]

@brave wyvernWhatcha think?

[gray glade]

Lol

[brave wyvern]

That came out really good. That lava glow is fantastic.

[ashen kiln]

Thanks, i mean him being there, eavesdropping on the conversation xD

[long cave]

who is he evesdropping on?

[ashen kiln]

It's the comic page where King ate the mini crewmate and they are all outside discussing.

[long cave]

ahhh

[ashen kiln]

Yup, it's an off screen thing i did xD

[long cave]

i like XD

[brave wyvern]

It's a fun idea XD

[ashen kiln]

[brave wyvern]

Orange will not be the only one dying.

Smh @long cave was that not already obvious?

[long cave]

I MEAN.....

still. i know that certain people have to survive... at least for a while yet...

which leaves... ahem.. certain other people as prime candidates. but STILL

[brave wyvern]

Every storyline for a good long while will have at least one death.

[long cave]

yeah, well. we've had one death. lol

and come on. it isn't among us without beans gettin eaten

[brave wyvern]

But past Polus the circumstances will be different

[long cave]

hm

[ashen kiln]

[brave wyvern]

Polus Point won't have any whodunnit on the murder. It'll have a very different lil mystery and a healthy dose of moral dilemma.

Mira v2 gets to have a whodunit in a special way.
||Airship gets to be a slaughterfest.||

[glossy delta]

I would've tried to make some scenes from a polus roleplay I did 2 years ago if I didn't have to retcon like half of the plot for uh... reasons and I also can't remember it enough anymore

[long cave]

and i know these storylines are way in the future so i'ma have to wait forever for this stuff!

[ashen kiln]

[brave wyvern]

That's a big reason I started saying screw it and (carefully) doing some spoilery doodles lol

Some things are fun enough where I want to play with pieces of it now

[glossy delta]

Well there might be some scenes but one character had a pretty big influence on my character (That being Greygerneer) and that character is the one I have to retcon out.
I might make some different comics with my goobers using the polus from the same universe, but idk

[brave wyvern]

I have had a couple paradoxes in storylines until I separated them by map and put them into a more cohesive order.

I forget exactly what it was, but I know one paradox simultaneously had to be before and after the same event. It uh... had to be heavily reworked lol

[long cave]

LOL

[glossy delta]

I decided to start making a comic of reminicsing on the original plot, basically my workaround for not being able to directly recreate scenes, I decided it's better to do this instead

[glossy delta]

I mean Greygerneer got put in space jail because of them lmao

I'll probably retcon why he went to space jail

[echo lodge]

yall are feeding us well with this art

[long cave]

i already have another idea for next piece. but its 5 beans. it gonna take me a lil while

[ashen kiln]

[echo lodge]

teehee

[ashen kiln]

Maybe Axl could share his food with you, if you're an impostor.

[echo lodge]

i mean, favorite role hahdhjsf

[ashen kiln]

Imma draw something and see how you'll react.

[echo lodge]

im playing mogus rn lmao

got my hands on a hosting mod and im feral

[long cave]

same

[ashen kiln]

[long cave]

nyehehehehehehehehe

🎶 i know which ooonneneeee 🎶

its so good isn't it

[echo lodge]

i just had to start a new lobby, gonna put the code in #matchmaking-non-vc if you wana join me!

[long cave]

oh i'm in the middle of my normal nightly lobby rn

[echo lodge]

ok

[ashen kiln]

xD

Yeah idk

[echo lodge]

[ashen kiln]

Shall you accept?
