i can draw blood and tears i believe but i'm not sure if i have the artstyle you'd want

[long cave]

she look so sad

[brave wyvern]

Zel's bean tears are so giod and made me realize I should practice that!

Blood is a double tough one for me because I am super sqeamish.

Going through mental images of bleeding... I think tbe only spots I'll need to avoid are wrists and underarm.

And beans don't have arms sooooooooo one squeamish spot gine! XD

[ashen kiln]

All you really need is the white color for the tears, add shine, add shadow under, and add a soft fill to it, and a bit of glow, that's what I like doing.

For blood, you could keep it a flat color, draw it as if you were drawing water.

If it's a wound, like a deep cut, you use a darker color for the inner part.

[long cave]

plus there's the whole "bean blood is self color"... so potential for less squick since not looking at "normal" red

[ashen kiln]

I am home, now I can do the little tutorial or so.

[brave wyvern]

Mentally trying different colors... still triggers uncomfortable from wrists and underarm lol. I am glad beans don't have arms XD

Though I should probably practice with red then change the colors after if I can.

There is very much blood planned in future comic pages so def gonna try and get a better handle on how to be satisfied with results.

[ashen kiln]

Ok so, how do you exactly want the blood to be?

What's the injury? Where is the injury?

[echo lodge]

I should teach Stella to play among us. Then she wont die or be ejected. She's literally baby

I mean look at her

[long cave]

o boy.....

[long cave]

sounds like she's planning a lot more than just one

[brave wyvern]

Heh.

Main ones I need to figure out are basically bite injuries like from this
#among-us-fan-art message

And injuries from this

Full slices and amputations I think are less hard?

[ashen kiln]

I'm here xD

Those would be splashes of blood.

[brave wyvern]

The after-wound is the hard part I think XD

I had tried staining cyan's scarf with blood, and tried sdoing some bite wounds... it all came out so bad I erased it lol

And just left the cri

[ashen kiln]

Ok so, for clothing, the blood, tend to have more of a blur to it, and depending on the color of the clothes, the blood will look different.

If it's on a dark color scarf, the blood will look darker.

[ashen kiln]

You also have to think, is the blood wet? Has it dried? Has it faded?

[brave wyvern]

hmmm I need t figure out how to get the smear effect.

Airbrush ain't it...

[tribal echo]

if you have a cel shading artstyle with no gradients, you may like using a lower opacity version of your brush instead! it would probably be less jarring if that is your artstyle

[brave wyvern]

hmmm

[ashen kiln]

It's a blend or blur tool.

[tribal echo]

personal tip i use is to use multiply on the blood layer

[ashen kiln]

Yeah

Can work well for clothing.

[tribal echo]

oh yes you're right, blood is pretty opaque so it probably wouldn't work as well on non absorbent surfaces! how did i not realize that lol

[ashen kiln]

Well, glass, wood, concrete, blood is gonna sit on top of it yeah.

Also when it's mixed with water

[tribal echo]

(do not draw the blood on the colouring layer unless you're REALLY confident lol)

[ashen kiln]

Just on top of the layer.

[tribal echo]

yea

especially if you aren't a cel shader

[ashen kiln]

That's what i do if i need to draw blood on the lineart itself.

[brave wyvern]

I use WAY too many layers heh

been working on toning that down

usually

[tribal echo]

i've been trying to tolerate more layers (because i have a bad habit of deleting the sketch layer once the lineart is done)

[ashen kiln]

When i have multiple beans, i color the visors on one layer, the suit on another layer.

[brave wyvern]

My standard layers are BG color, BG lines, BG details, bg shadows, bean color, bean lines, bean shading.

That's when I'm behaving

[tribal echo]

i think that's how i do it too

[brave wyvern]

When I'm not behaving there's more

[ashen kiln]

The shadings i draw them on the same color layer, if i'm doing some type of effect, i clip the layers.

Or group the layers.

[brave wyvern]

I been doing shading on same layer with the sketchies

Because I'm using he full color instead of 50% color

[tribal echo]

this is what i did for my most recent art

i don't usually shade with normal layers but i thought it'd look nice here

[brave wyvern]

I uh... do not have much experience with not normal layers

[tribal echo]

okay in this one i was wary about the background (i rarely do backgrounds) so there is 5 morbillion layers

[tribal echo]

it's okay! you don't need the fancy ones, but multiply and add are nice to know

[brave wyvern]

I used someting for the cri

umm

screen

[tribal echo]

sometimes i use add for tears if you-ohh

[brave wyvern]

It says screen

[tribal echo]

i see

[brave wyvern]

I just rotated through options and that one looked right

I have no idea what half of them even do lol

[tribal echo]

honestly me neither. the only ones i use are multiply add and occasionally colour burn if i feel like it

i don't think colour burn will be useful for you though. multiply is usually for shading and add is for highlights

multiply doesn't always "work" though

i really should make that blood tutorial tbh

zels are very good by the way! looks great

[brave wyvern]

I take mental notes whenever I can!

[ashen kiln]

With your style, hmmm, you can do simple flat blood, just draw it like it's water.

[ashen kiln]

@brave wyvern

[brave wyvern]

The shape on the second one so good

I didn't even notice the shadows until you pointed them out. But adds so much.

[ashen kiln]

Yeah.

If you look at a droplet, it has a shadow.

[river zenith]

is this yaoi

[brave wyvern]

It's adorable that's for sure

What does the Detecive have open on his screen...

[ashen kiln]

No.

[ashen kiln]

[river zenith]

[ashen kiln]

Yes.

[river zenith]

Cool to know, Thank You.

[brave wyvern]

Silly viper on ground like pet snake again

[ashen kiln]

Viper wants food.

[brave wyvern]

Detective should probably help while viper is behaving!

[glossy delta]

If Detective isn't gonna do it, I will :3

[brave wyvern]

No crewmates!

Unless they're the crewmates that are so bad that their own fellow crewmates would vote to throw them in the lava for being awful beans.

[echo lodge]

My dog at 5 am

[tawny wasp]

I think the rework killed the collab channel 😢

[misty stream]

collabs got boring after they added a channel for them anyway

[brave wyvern]

I think thimk the forum format may have played a part in that.

Not just the image perms

It sounds goodin concept for organization

But in practice it hides them instead.

[rapid schooner]

i mean collabs was active for a while after it got channel-fied HAHA

i should know I have like 9000 messages there apparently

[river zenith]

oh wow

i wanan do something

done :)

[modest sun]

the collabs were super active for a while yeah

but honestly, i think they were kind of fading when rework.....

a decent number of the people who did most collabs and the active AMAs have moved on to different fandoms

plus, this channel now allows for people to chat about their OCs and things, which means putting up collabs isn't really as necessary anymore (besides the fact that you have to reach a level for making forum posts)

so i actually think this channel specifically is a big part of why collab forum dieded

it's replacing all the AMAs and character/art lore forums and even the art advice forum, which i don't think is a bad thing btw

[ashen kiln]

[brave wyvern]

Fair

This channel is my favorite channel hehe

Im guessing Ilu is the name of the crewmate? :D

[simple hill]

Nah

The crewmate's name is Susanna

Detective better watch out. Imps have built-in advantages over crewmates in detectiving!

Tho Viper might need to borrow another brain cell. Is it in the hat?

[glossy delta]

Maybe

[echo lodge]

no wonder the detective has the brain cell all the time. the brain cell is stored in the hat.

[glossy delta]

Good point

[brave wyvern]

Okay I am not coloring BotW but I am making one

I see a reference

[ashen kiln]

@brave wyvern Lilo and Stitch reference.

[brave wyvern]

[ashen kiln]

The original?

[brave wyvern]

Oh right they just did like a live action one or something didn't they

Yes the original lol

[ashen kiln]

Yeah, they changed and removed a bunch of stuff.

[ashen kiln]

Decided to come back- i miss the server a little

And i think im a bit mentally better now

Miss looking at among us art in here 👀

[ashen kiln]

That's me everyday with my art.

[twin quarry]

Never satisfied?

[ashen kiln]

Can't stick with an art style lol

[twin quarry]

Oh that’s understandable xd could say that for me too
Also Why I like to try mimic other people’s artstyle as a way to practice ofc id give credit!

[ashen kiln]

I tried that with yours, didn't like it much lol

So I went back to doing my own thing

[twin quarry]

Yeah fair, i don’t very much like my artstyle too much either but id still draw in it anyways

[ashen kiln]

Which is what you currently see

[twin quarry]

Your own thing is awesome tho :3

@twin quarry Lighting is my favorite thing to do if i'm lazy to shade.

[twin quarry]

Me too XD
Brightens it up! Still adds some semblance of shading in it

[ashen kiln]

This is my opinion and you can ignore me, but maybe add some overlay orange for the surface and more blue at the bottom with overlay as well, to make it pop.

[twin quarry]

Originally i was gonna add the orangish pink shading i always did but i didnt like how i did it
Its practice after all x)

Thanks anyways

[echo lodge]

I made another cover of it myself with sheet music to boot

[echo lodge]

the only reason I even knew how to write the entire cover on sheet music software is because I spent most of my schooling in choir lmao

that and the chord progressions, mainly the melody, were straightforward and repetitive enough, though the end of the cover is my own twist by combining two sections of the song, they surprisingly go well together

[echo lodge]

For me it only feels hot hot on my feet for some reason

[tribal echo]

ty!

[tribal echo]

i'm quite interested in evolution

[echo lodge]

in my lore all Impostors are one species with the roles being variants. seekers are just starving impostors lmao

[tribal echo]

if you're wondering why imposter mouths don't look like they do in game...
it's because i head canon the original animation to be how imposter ancestors looked (especially since the animation is very old game wise)!
the newer hide and seek animation does not have the inner teeth, and i consider it to be a representation of newer generations of imposters!

back when they had sharp teeth for tearing flesh

[echo lodge]

👁️👁️ ok I love

[tribal echo]

i appreciate it :D

[echo lodge]

In fact shifters phantoms and vipers are the result of evolution

Yayayayyqyayya yw

[tribal echo]

that's cool! mine are too (other than phantoms)

[woeful marlin]

oouguhhh god do i LOVE impostor speculative evolution & biology.

i really like hayhell's take on it too.

[tribal echo]

i only came up with this lore today (mostly, since i downloaded among us again a day or two ago) so things are tentative

thanks!

[echo lodge]

Mines been overhauled quite a bit but mines been around since 2020

[echo lodge]

They evolved to increase survival chances since crewmates obviously want them dead, but impostors can't not kill or they'll starve lol

[woeful marlin]

hmmm i should make a little thing showcasing the hcs i have for the impostor roles tomorrow. + a secret extra thing idk what the phantoms are but i do have an idea that they're like charmelons.

[echo lodge]

hehehehee

I have Google docs full of lore but due to details on how they reproduce I can't send it in the server

[woeful marlin]

also i hc the role names are just the crewmates coming up with things, hence why despite not being dead or that ghost like phantoms are called that.

[tribal echo]

but a phantom's ability to turn completely invisible is unlike anything in real life and can't really be evolution'd away...so i decided:
-when a crewmate or imposter dies, they turn into a ghost. the process of becoming a ghost begins as the crewmate/imposter dies.
-if an imposter has a near-death experience (ejecting will ensure an imposter dies, so it has to be caused through other means), but they survive, then the process of the soul leaving the body is interrupted. the soul returns to the body to continue life as before...but it still has some sort of tie to the afterlife.
-phantoms are more likely to see ghosts, and this tie to the afterlife enables them to essentially turn into a ghost (therefore being invisible to crewmates, but still visible to imposters and ghosts) for a short period of time. if they stay as a ghost too long, they could end up being stuck that way and quite literally die, which is why phantoms have a cooldown.

[echo lodge]

Ouuuuuuu

[woeful marlin]

ooooohhh..

[echo lodge]

I've seen similar concepts for phantoms but I love that one

[woeful marlin]

very very cool.

[tribal echo]

thank you!!

[echo lodge]

Mines just like "go poof to do sus shit"

[tribal echo]

this is awesome! it's a good explanation to why imposter subroles are stronger.
i imagine crewmates are the same, they learn different skills to improve their survival

[echo lodge]

I have it set to where statistically over half of all Impostors are just regular old ones. Vipers are the rarest variant

[tribal echo]

phantoms are the rarest in mine (because how many times are imposters going to have near death experiences LOL)

[woeful marlin]

yeah they're usually the ones. causing death.

[tribal echo]

ya

[echo lodge]

and yes crewmates can be turned, I've got two ocs who became impostors later in life. Process is painful asf tho so most impostors are born impostors lol

[tribal echo]

but what's a little fight to the death between angry imposters right /j

[woeful marlin]

i feel it'd likely happen because impostor infighting.

[tribal echo]

yep!

[woeful marlin]

YEAH.

[tribal echo]

ooh i see...

[woeful marlin]

i hc that impostors are actually incredibly competitve. they only work together when it's useful for them to do so.

[echo lodge]

Also if a crewmate and an impostor have a kid together the kid is just straight up impostor. No crewpostors here

[tribal echo]

i don't have "crewposters" either, other than seekers

[echo lodge]

(I may be a sucker for crew x imp ships.)

[woeful marlin]

i have crewpostors but they typically end up basically being impostor lite.

[tribal echo]

crewmates/imposters don't reproduce in my canon, so seekers are caused by unstable dna in crewmates with birth defects that can give them features similar to an imposter

the unstable dna/cells can worsen (similar to cancer) which causes seekerism

[woeful marlin]

they don't have really much or any shapeshifting abilities fo example.

[echo lodge]

Most of my impostors will work together. Vipers are the most community oriented due to their acid ability being able to hide evidence rather than actually kill crew for consumption. They prefer to work with impostors of other variants.

[tribal echo]

if vipers don't kill crew to eat them, why do they kill?
or do they spit acid on the remains after eating

[woeful marlin]

oh yeah silly hc i have for impostors, they'll sometimes snack on the hands of their past victims when they get hungry but are in a situation where killing would be unwise. they store the hands within a part of their body.

[tribal echo]

oh wowie

[echo lodge]

The latter, the reason being why the variant evolved. For story purposes more than anything they can kill with anything else lol. But the acid itself is meant to destroy what can't be eaten/hide evidence, which increases their survival chances

They can also use said acid to confront threats. The acid CAN kill, but since its so corrosive, it isn't used for food killing since you can't eat a nonexistent corpse lol

[tribal echo]

ooh cool!

[echo lodge]

In fact it can be deadly to other impostors, given they're not vipers

[woeful marlin]

another thing i hc about impostors is most besides vipers have two tongues, one is the stabby killing one and the other is for helping chew food.

[echo lodge]

For the roles there's a physical toll that comes with their usage

[woeful marlin]

vipers only have the snake like tongue though, their stabby tongue went away in evolution in favor for being able to weaponize their stomach acid.

the stabby tongue would have been corroded away by the acid so it just sort of got removed through evolution.

[tribal echo]

ah cool!

[woeful marlin]

gotta say i really like you two's hcs they're very cool.

[echo lodge]

adsaush dsaty

ty

[echo lodge]

my imps have tiny prongs on the tip of their stabby tongue/parasite that indicate their role
1 being normal, 2 being shapeshifter, 3 being phantom and 4 being viper

vipers' parasites can split for that snake-tongue look, said prongs being split evenly on each side

[tribal echo]

in my canon, only 1 in 20 imposters must survive on a crewmate only diet, as those kinds of imposters often die due to having to kill more often or starving if they don't, so imposters who had mutations that let them eat normal food tended to survive longer (and crewvorous imposters were discouraged from using their genes)
...however, the powerful instinct to kill crewmates never really went away, so even now, most imposters still kill crewmates (and they may also do it to help feed crewvorous loved ones). now of course the pointlessness does lead to many imposters wanting to change their ways.
...and that's how my story starts :D

[tribal echo]

that's cool! i'm still thinking of how my vipers evolved forked tongues

[woeful marlin]

damn that's really cool.

my hc impostors are like. two different organisms, the "parasite" [that's actually in a mutualistic relationship with the impostor] and the impostor themself, the host.
though the parasites are typically Actually parasitic to crewmates because crewmates are unable to keep up to the parasite's demands.

most impostors have a parasite but some don't, often leading them to be less violent and less of a meat eater too.

though due to the less violent tendencies these impostors die earlier.

[echo lodge]

to add, the mechanic of impostors eating crew comes from the parasitic-symbiotic relationship of a parasite and its host, though scientifically theyre both considered to be one whole being/species

the parasite is what really requires the crewmate meat to live, so why does the whole impostor themself do all the killing and eating and whatnot? due to the parasites bond with its host/the classification of being a whole species, they cant ever be separated or they both die.

the parasitic part comes from the parasite being the entire reason for impostorhood in the first place, while the symbiotic part comes from said parasite giving the body the abilities that it has in the first place, i.e. night vision, social cues with other impostors, and shapeshifting/invisibilty/acid if applicable.

[tribal echo]

imposters also often have lower empathy due to their lifestyle. due to this, some imposters kill purely because of tradition, and that "this is how it always was"

[tribal echo]

is it because they're less hungry? or is violence tied to lifespan for other reasons

[tribal echo]

ooh that's neat! i'll have to think about if my imposters have parasites

[woeful marlin]

typical impostors HATE when they end up with parasiteless pacifists. they'll often kill the impostor to prevent them from getting in the way.
though sometimes they'll end up meeting an early end through other means.

[tribal echo]

ooh i see

[woeful marlin]

the lack of parasite actually leads them to be immunocompromised a bit too.

[echo lodge]

i wanted to come up with a concept where impostors retain what humanity/personality traits theyd have if they werent an impostor in the first place, unlike the concept of some other creature taking that persons place. its allowed me to make impostor ocs i love and cherish

[tribal echo]

that's awesome! i'm glad you're happy with your lore

[slate kiln]

Lies and slander

[woeful marlin]

lack of parasite is often a choice by more carefree impostors or ones who despise being violent from birth since sometimes they're born without a parasite, this is because at birth a typical baby impostor has a baby parasite inside of it, and that's how parasites reproduce basically.

the typical impostor body can't handle multiple parasites so they use the impostor offspring as new hosts.

anyways i'm eepy gn.
everyone here has super cool art and ideas.

[tribal echo]

gn! you too

[tribal echo]

oh and i forgot to mention, said imposter can NORMALLY no longer use their previous abilities (such as spitting acid or shapeshifting)
the death process tends to weaken the body a lot and some parts just never reemerge.
the reason why mouths disappear is because an imposters mouth often hides during death

[ashen kiln]

Truth

[tribal echo]

we gotta turn ts into an ace attorney episode /j

[rapid schooner]

oooh yes, love parasites as a solution for this! its what allows me to be evil and make my most anti-imposter oc have an identity crisis by becoming an imposter herself ❤️ wonderful

for me, crewmates and natural imposters can't have kids because they're straight up different species, but parasite-infected imposters can have kids with crewmates (the kids will always be crewmates, though)

i figured out a solution for my previous crew/imp sibling duo through the power of adoption which means i can now do this

i think ive explained my roles here before ? im STILL struggling with phantoms but shapeshifters and vipers are pretty easy for me to integrate
shapeshifters are at the far end of the shifting gradient, vipers just evolved venom after some time and now there are a few different genes for the differences it causes

i think my seekers have changed since i last spoke about this? seekers are double imposters, essentially - they're what happens when a parasite is starving and desperation for a host drives it to infect a natural imposter. due to the different anatomy, this is dangerous for both parties, which is why it's a last resort

ANYWAY yap sesh over

i had to respond to all of these points because i love yapping about my worldbuilding LMAAO

[slate kiln]

Me when my worldbuilding changes on a whim

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-sus-rave-dance-gif-14972091688551507649

I'm trying to keep it consistent enough lately

[unkempt copper]

Personally my headcanon is that some imposters are actually just normal crewmates who kill others for their own goals. And some are infected by parasites and feed on the crew.

[modest sun]

crewmate who's just a serial killer versus the parasite impostor

[woeful marlin]

if you're wondering why there's no seekers that's because i hc them to just be an impostor who is VERY pissed and is taking out their anger on anything in sight and trying to murder everything that moves too. this of course, is not species dependent.
but in this infuriated state impostors forget to use their spiecies spesific abilities because they're that focused on causing maximum bloodshed.

[echo lodge]

I need to draw mine tbh

[tribal echo]

i like your art! would be cool

[echo lodge]

I have an oc who studies impostors so having her explain would be a nice addition tbh

(She was also adopted by a couple of them who couldnt have kids)

[ashen kiln]

So we doing little drawings of the imps like that?

[echo lodge]

in my lore impostors will raise crewmates as their own children (and vice versa, like one oc i have who was stuck raising a tiny impostor after her little boyfriend decided to be a prick)

[rapid schooner]

i did one of these thingies a year or two ago but it is WAY outdated

[rapid schooner]

*this i mean

[woeful marlin]

oh yea i'll be making the "false impostor" verson of this.
most often they're crewmates who just got infected with a parasite and turned violent and evil.

though they usually have shorter lifespans due to the parasite being actually parasitic for them.

[rapid schooner]

howdy old me

almost everything here is outdated, parasites mainly have one look with slight differences and seekers aren't a different type anymore (shapeshifters technically arent but theres a generally agreed cutoff point when a talented imposter becomes a shapeshifter)

[rapid schooner]

OOO!

wait would yall fw me drawing the transformation process. since crewmates can turn 👁️👁️

[woeful marlin]

hell yeah. i'd love to see it.

[rapid schooner]

YAAAHH

[ashen kiln]

Ok, one done, the others to go.

[echo lodge]

generally transformations happen because a rampaging (starving) impostor (seeker) bit a crewmate, but failed to kill/eat them, thus infecting the crewmate with the parasite. its a 3 stage process that takes roughly a week

its extremely painful too rip

[tribal echo]

i love y'alls takes!

my version was specifically covering mouths, so i might do a more elaborate explanation on full anatomy later 👀

but for now...crew photo!

[echo lodge]

the seeker (or the starving imp, lol) isnt in control of themselves- its completely the parasite. therefore they can be sloppy and sink their teeth into a bean, but can fail to kill them.

[woeful marlin]

funny you mention the parasite taking full control because i hc that sometimes the parasite forces the impostor/host to do things.

often it'll force infected crewmates to vote out their friends.

[tribal echo]

not me starting a whole ass fucking trend after returning 4 months later (or longer if crewshifter stuff doesn't count)

[echo lodge]

The only time the parasite takes full control in my case is if starvation is imminent. Other than that, parasites have a major influence, but the host has a lot of free will.

[woeful marlin]

same applies here tbh, some parasites are just extra evil sometimes.

[tribal echo]

in my canon, imposters are in complete control of their actions, but can seem uncontrollable in the same way real killers can

[echo lodge]

parasites mostly take the reigns for killing and socialization with other impostors. in fact impostor couples will hold parasites

[woeful marlin]

aaawwhhhh how wholesome.

[rapid schooner]

i have it so that parasites don't do much more than physical factors, but they do slowly eat at their hosts brain (by slowly, i mean it takes ~40 years for the imposter to show clear signs of deteriorating) and the stress can cause mental instability

...sorry to interrupt the wholesome with tha

[tribal echo]

i imagine that imposters have some sort of genetic difference that makes it extremely hard for them to actually do tasks (but are able to do them with enough help/effort) but i haven't thought about it much

i used to use parasites in the past but after looking more into among us lore and becoming more aware of story tropes i love, i decided i probably won't be using them

[woeful marlin]

for me it's a combination of most impostors not wanting to help their future prey and also not completely understanding crewmate society and how they do things. certain tasks are also really risky or straight up dangerous for impostors too.

no sane impostor would do medbay. that's outing yourself 101.

[echo lodge]

I think of my parasites as a tree and its roots, the stabby tongue being the tree, and the "roots" connect to the hosts major organs (brain, stomach, lungs, reproductive system, etc) to give the abilities it does.

[tribal echo]

part of me thinks they have extremely poor problem-solving abilities (like many animals. an example of an animal with good problem solving however is the raven), but that would likely mean they struggle to manipulate the crew as well, which doesn't feel like it makes sense.

[echo lodge]

Mine is a bit different. Since Impostors kill solely for survival, most of them want to be good crewmates and do their jobs. The killing is what risks them being ejected.

[woeful marlin]

i don't have a design for my parasites because i like the mystery of not knowing what they look like.

[tribal echo]

i like that too!

[echo lodge]

mine looks like a worm lol

[tribal echo]

i kind of imagine that parasites are microscopic if they were to exist in mine...like rabies

rabies is a really good example i feel like

[woeful marlin]

also if you cut off a true impostor's spiky tongue it'd kill them.

[woeful marlin]

YES!!!!!

[echo lodge]

ouu

[tribal echo]

makes animals extremely aggressive

a human with no previous tendencies becoming violent

[woeful marlin]

"fun" fact about a hc: some of the false impostors are genetically predisposed to a rabies-like fate if no intervention happens.

[tribal echo]

ooh i see!

[tribal echo]

though it's not perfect as i imagine surviving imposters are able to keep their cool (unregulated ones get ejected quickly if they can't manage their aggression), patient enough to strategize a good time to kill

[woeful marlin]

they don't pop out into the world rabid though. they seem normal for most of their life and then just like that, they're painting the halls red with the blood of their co-workers.

[echo lodge]

Oop

[woeful marlin]

it happens when that type of false impostor turns 30+ so like... they'd have a job and everything by then.

and they wouldn't know what was coming, what terrible fate they were soon to meet.

[echo lodge]

thats sad i love it

[woeful marlin]

though they don't get killed by this genetic fault. they more often get killed by others through fighting back because they can get that voilatile that trying to eject them would result in more death.

otherwise? they just become a murder machine that's not quite unstoppable but terrifying to anyone, even a lot of impostors are scared because of how unpredictable and brutal they can get.

[ashen kiln]

I'm drawing for the Viper next.

[woeful marlin]

it's fun being able to rip everything away from your ocs.

[echo lodge]

lmao

[rapid schooner]

yep!!!!

[echo lodge]

I take a balanced approach with that lol. Starving sucks as an impostor. Youre completely unaware and if you die, youre just... gone and unaware

[woeful marlin]

i have one oc i haven't really done much with but she's a false impostor who met this fate.

much with as in art.

she ends up being put down like a rabid dog by her husband's close friend.

that friend feels very guilty about it but knew he had to do it.

[echo lodge]

:(

[slate kiln]

Kinda like our tongues where if you bit it off the blood loss would kill you pretty quickly

Not to get too detailed but one of my older brothers accidentally almost bit his tongue off and soaked a whole towel before they got to the hospital

[ashen kiln]

It's due to the tongue being a muscle basically, lots of blood in it.

[slate kiln]

Yeah, if you've ever looked at underneath your tongue you'll see just how many veins there are, especially large ones

[ashen kiln]

Yup

[slate kiln]

It's kinda neat tbh

[ashen kiln]

Yuh

Done with Viper sketchie.

[echo lodge]

for my imps the stabby tounge is the parasite, at least the main part of it

[tribal echo]

y'all have so much tongue lore...gonna have to thi-

sorry i got interrupted

i'll have to think about ideas

[rapid schooner]

my mouth lore ends at teeth ...... i dont have much lore on tongues LMAO

[ashen kiln]

Phantom time.

[slate kiln]

Me neither tbh, I just like my imps with teeth to have round tongues cuz I feel like it fits better

I see my imps with no teeth to be the type to swallow whole chunks rather than chew, so a big tongue would be in the way of that imp

The ones with teeth are shredders or like cats where they have scissor like back teeth to eat their food and need stronger tongues to move around those chewed up bits

[unkempt copper]

Would be cool for a fight ngl

[echo lodge]

Hehe more lore

[glossy delta]

I should ramble about Among us Watcher's early lore

[long cave]

ROFL "0/10 would not recommend"

[ashen kiln]

Phantom done, that's 3 so far.

[woeful marlin]

fun fact: passive crewpostors can usually be infected if they weren't already from birth and remain passive, most of the time.
there's also "passive" crewpostors that are born with a parasite.
[they just only kill impostors for sustenance, as they'd die if they ate no flesh]

birth infections happen when the impostor is the one giving birth to the crewpostor.

also if one parent of a type-1 crewpostor is a shapeshifter they can shapeshift, just not as well as their shapeshifter parent.

[slate kiln]

Uncanny valley type shifter

[woeful marlin]

YEAH like it WOULD be some uncanny valley shit.

[echo lodge]

fr though lol

[woeful marlin]

shifter crewpostors change brightness of of their color depending on mood too.
if they're happy it'll be normal or even brighter but if they're mad or sad it'll be darker.
basically it's;
positive emotions = normal/brighter.
negative emotions =
darker, sometimess splotches of discoloration.
discoloration can be natural too though.

sometimes they'll have splotches of discoloration too.

also fun fact, if a crewpostor and a crewmate have babies the kid will be a second generation crewpostor.
this is often how type-2B crewpostors happen.

sometimes a type-2B can be a first generation and unknowingly make a second generation with a crewmate though.

[echo lodge]

ouuu I like that

with my lore the roles are genetic

[woeful marlin]

the roles are genetic for impostors only in my lore.
for crewmates it's just them knowing how to do something and/or having access to spesific tech.
guardian angels are a whole other non-genetic can of worms though.

[echo lodge]

being anything other than a normal impostor is considered recessive, so more often than not the grandchild of a shapeshifter for example will most likely be a shapeshifter, not their child, if they have a kid with a normal imp

[woeful marlin]

oooooohhhh.

the species interbreeding can happen with my impostors too, if a viper and phantom have kids for example
that kid will likely be a phantom who is EXTRA venomous rather than a viper who has camoflauge abilities.

phantom genes are more likely to be passed on than vipers. it's like blue eyes and brown eyes but entire species genetics.

vipers have the least likelyhood of passing their genes on in crossbreeding, besides with common impostors as they evolved from common impostors.

shapeshifters evolved from phantoms though.

shapeshifter genes however are VERY inheritable.
the heiarchy is

1. shapeshifter
2. phantom
3. viper
4. common impostor
   so yeah, shapeshifters are considered like the "best" among some groups.

[echo lodge]

oooh thats cool! in my lore the roles were originally genetic mutations but evolution said "Yeah these are gonna stay", and order of rarity from most common to least is

1. Normal
2. Shapeshifter
3. Phantom
4. Viper

theres not necessarily a hierarchy but most of the time impostors will jump at the opportunity to kill with a viper due to the acid hiding evidence

and for the sake of keeping track of things, crewmates are considered regular when discussing their impostor child's variant

[glossy delta]

My imp lore is also heavily genetic, but some outside forces (Not usually parasites) can cause imps too

[echo lodge]

#among-us-fan-art message

in reference to being turned, 9/10 times its just a normal imp, but say a viper turned them, they have a 50 50 shot at being a viper or a normal one

[glossy delta]

Watcher is a prime example of this

[echo lodge]

one thing I forgot to note there is if a turned impostor was bitten by a Viper, they get a chemical burn from a less corrosive acid thats produced when biting to turn

[echo lodge]

After work I should make more lore drawings I am Very Much enjoying it

[echo lodge]

fireeeee

[slate kiln]

I squeezed him a little skinnier but idk why it suddenly made him look like he has a massive forehead 😭

I just wanted to fit the text a bit better 😔

[slate kiln]

Me too girlie

[rapid schooner]

YAY!!!

[rapid schooner]

i did not notice until you pointed it out LMAO
looks very good anyway

[echo lodge]

I dont get off until 1 pm my time though... its 7:33 am rn

[slate kiln]

Oh that means you're only an hour behind me

[echo lodge]

should I infodump about a certain variant 👀 or what else idk i need ideas

[slate kiln]

Interesting 🤔 🤔 🤔

[echo lodge]

food service can eat toenails

[rapid schooner]

same timezone..... heh.....

[slate kiln]

My people I have an original (I hope) species variant I would absolutely love to indulge you guys in but I haven't genuinely ever though of making it consistent so it's near impossible to show 😭

[rapid schooner]

this is so real and true

[slate kiln]

Or, well, it's very complicated

I've shown it before but not specifically as a species, but as OCs. The thing is one of them is a complete outlier to what I made the species about and the rest of the cast I've never actually drawn

[echo lodge]

ouuuu

[slate kiln]

I've only drawn 2 of about 5~6 characters I came up with and rhe reason I haven't made them yet is I don't know how I'd fit them into the patchy lore I've already made about the 2 drawn ones

💔

[echo lodge]

damb

I was up too late playing amogus last night 💔

[slate kiln]

I want to draw them but that would mean rewriting what I've already thought of and changing character past experiences to fit the new bros

[echo lodge]

but I was thinking maybe I should draw the ss lore? and then the other 2 roles hehe

[slate kiln]

I stayed up late reading webcomics

[rapid schooner]

this is always a struggle

[slate kiln]

Take your time, but I'd love to see it :]

[echo lodge]

[echo lodge]

I have a shapeshifter oc who's short, and despite the risks to her health if she cant reach something or needs to kick ass, she can and will shapeshift into someone twice her size

[slate kiln]

Efficient use of given powers

[echo lodge]

she could be sorer than sore but if she needs to reach her snacks she'll shift again and make it worse

also the people she shifts into are her type

[slate kiln]

Shape-shifting into the person you're fighting and proceed to wipe the floor with them, afterwards saying: "your greatest enemy is yourself"

NO SAY "why are you hitting yourself" AS YOURE FIGHTING LOL

[echo lodge]

Sometimes when shapeshifters are vying for a mate and someone else is too they will shift into said potential mate and fight their rival

[echo lodge]

imagine your crush suddenly duplicating and beating you up

[slate kiln]

Feel like I should add context besides the lore bits here

One, the bg is a place I made called floating lands which is kind of like Mira where it's suspended in the sky.

Two, the situation is just vipe and fig visiting the floating lands for a Date () and vipe telling fig to not worry about the semi's behavior around him

[echo lodge]

hehe

[slate kiln]

I dont always draw vipe with the side horns because they get in the way/are a nuisance to make 😔

[echo lodge]

that inspired me, I should do a drawing on parasitoid genetics

IM STILL AT WORK FREE MEE

[slate kiln]

If only I could 🙏

[slate kiln]

THREE, fig is not a pure crewmate, but is a very watered down shifter+crew 4th generation without any new imp genes since the original parents in generation 1

Will explain this lore when I start on shapeshifters :9

Fig when the crew dominant genes keep winning and he's left with the bare minimum to be called a hybrid

https://tenor.com/view/ratón-comiendo-gif-22937897

[echo lodge]

lmao

when it comes to reproducing with impostors, crewmates are considered normal since they dont have any special abilities in my lore lol

[slate kiln]

Ye but I consider impostors and crewmates to be separate species entirely but can still reproduce due to impostors evolving to resemble their prey as closely as possible 🙆

This is also why in my lore shapeshifters were the first subspecies after regular imps

Somewhere down the line special conditions triggered some imps genes to become abnormal and cause the imps to change shape, color, size, etc and was uncontrollable at first

After a few more generations and offspring from two abnormal parents this special gene mutation was able to be controlled and used as a means to further liken themselves to crewmates

Shapeshifter gene is a building block for any species after that, where the gene stops being abnormal and reforms permanently into new genetics. This is usually first caused by trauma response or prolonged exposure to certain conditions.

[slate kiln]

This is what I say but most of what I said is a filler explanation for him having a mouth and the expressive eye things

I dont know man don't take that fig lore as Canon yet

[rapid schooner]

so awesam ....

[echo lodge]

Ouuu

the parasites in my lore attach to crewmates specifically, basically enhancing them, so genetics are fairly straightforward

[rapid schooner]

i currently have my lore set to: shapeshifting is a gradient trait between unable to hide imposter features and able to change whole body, vipers are a set of dominant and recessive traits where you need like 3/5 or something to be considered a viper, anddd seeker isnt genetics related (and phantoms don't exist......)

additionally, infected imposters can be shapeshifters, but they cannot be vipers (the parasite did not evolve the same way natural imposters did)
....and unfortunately crew/imp hybrids arent possibl

[echo lodge]

I like to think of my shapeshifters as similar to butterflies in a way... the ss egg rearranges their body

[rapid schooner]

OOH neat!

[rapid schooner]

main reason for my decision of vipers being a set of genes instead of one gene is luciv not having sharper fangs than normal imposters (she has duller fangs, actually) hi luciv

this image doesn't actually.... show her fangs.... so you'll just have to trust me

[slate kiln]

I dont like phantom in game so I don't have any phantom ocs either, I just added it to my spread to have it there lol

[echo lodge]

I have a few phantom ocs

One of them is in a polycule

[slate kiln]

Whats that

[echo lodge]

basically having more than 1 romantic partner

[slate kiln]

I know what poly is, I'm asking what a polycule is specifically

[echo lodge]

yeah she has a bf and a gf

[tribal echo]

a polycule is just the term you use for a romantic relationship with more than 2 people

Megs i haven't seen these things in a long time
correct me if im wrong but i think the first time i contacted you, it was related to this

[slate kiln]

I dont really use water marks tbh I think they get in the way 😭

My art isn't that good anyway tbh so I don't think it really matters

https://tenor.com/view/default-dance-fortnite-jonesy-gif-15544813113505236864

[polar bone]

whachu on about it is smh

[slate kiln]

Well, imo it's not worth stealing if I were to word it differently

[polar bone]

it is trusss
*this sounds mad to say 😭 *

[slate kiln]

with stuff like among us art it's something that isn't really stolen often anyway, just because it's not that popular anymore/most art has original characters that would be easily recognized by the community

[slate kiln]

Lol thank you

[polar bone]

https://tenor.com/view/mala-mishra-jha-pat-head-cute-sparkle-penguin-gif-16770818

[polar bone]

a lot of art can be quite easily traced back to the artist just by artstyle from what i've seen, but yea ig it does get stolen that often
(I know of quite a few cases)

[slate kiln]

I guess this also comes from me really wanting people to like my stuff, and not being as good as say, like, Zel's art, I just don't think ny art is comparable 🤷‍♀️
This could just be me because I'm just really sensitive to other's opinions and if I don't get reactions I think people don't like it

[slate kiln]

Oh I barely see any among us stuff anywhere else but here or youtubers who have stuck to among us throught he years like 5up. or those "ladies and gentleman we gottem" shorts

[polar bone]

trust me, people def like it. And i understand you trying to compare, but imo just improve and compare to urself. It usually works out better, and you can find the type of art you really like to make.

[polar bone]

nah i see a lot, esp on disc

[slate kiln]

Ik on discord, I personally just don't see much on other places

[polar bone]

just out of nowhere, i saw like ssundee and jerome (appearing on my feed after like 5 yrs) picking up au again
and i swear others are too surprisingly

[slate kiln]

It's hard to know what people think when you have disabilities 😭

[slate kiln]

Ohh that's interesting, I don't watch those guys so I wouldn't know lol

[polar bone]

its ok dw
if you get any support or feedback, just take it. If not, dw too much, cause in a server like this, nothing will get ignored.
But yea just keep improving on urself, and im sure you will be happier that way

[polar bone]

idk just like look around for the au content
it still appears every now and then

Yeah, rn I'm still trying to get the ai reddit stories out of my shorts feed 💀

[polar bone]

so real 😭

just like watch random animal vids
it usually works

[slate kiln]

I fix it and then I watch one story by accident and the next 5 shorts will be AI again 😭

[polar bone]

ai is becoming a scourge 🥀

[slate kiln]

Once got lucky and shorts started feeding me this guy taking homeless people shopping and I made they very silly decision to exit out of shorts and all the good stuff i was being fed disappeared 😔

[slate kiln]

So true

I'm glad AI hasn't been able to set foot in here

not yet

I'm pretty sure it's stated in rules that ai isn't allowed

I appreciate it to no end

[vapid ginkgo]

yeah its a very good rule

altho i dont think even ai can imitate my isnane drawings lol

[slate kiln]

Or maybe I saw it in BOTW 🤔 I saw ir somewhere on here

[slate kiln]

Lol wdym by insane

[vapid ginkgo]

sometimes my mind makes the most random stuff

i will post it eventually when i draw them all :P

[slate kiln]

Ohh interesting

I'll keep an eye out

[vapid ginkgo]

hehe i have ideas nobody is prepared for lol

[slate kiln]

I think most of my self-doubt about my art is because I genuinely can't keep an artstyle for more than a few days

Forever changing 😭

[slate kiln]

More intrigued

[vapid ginkgo]

lmao mine lasts for maybe month then it changes but in always a good way

[slate kiln]

I dont know if mine is a good way 💀

The last arts I am actually kinda proud of is the undi with hair and the art I did for the Vipe when I explained his species
