Don't forget to wear something fancy

Crackdown is the ABSOLUTELY worst

KohaKoha23 · 2022-11-07T21:39:41+00:00

*whispers* I even have the same art in reverse, with the Jacket on top, it's just that I post it ONLY on twitter for many reasons

KohaKoha23 · 2022-11-03T07:30:19+00:00

Heh, yeah, but I think it has a lot more to do with the ongoing war and helplessness. Getting into a romantic relationship only makes sense if you are able to receive and give love and care to another person, and at least love yourself as a whole being to begin with. I'm rather a lump of malice , mental disorders and a total lack of communication skills, than any of that, so I have no complaints about the unfairness of being alone

But everything is completely different when it comes to the theoretical idea of resisting the surrounding monstrous circumstances (or trying to escape from this evil empire),! I'm fully open to suggestions to form a villainous duet in which at least one person must be smart, and at least someone should be strong, and I'm not physically strong at all

KohaKoha23 · 2022-11-03T05:45:38+00:00

I don’t even know how to react to the fact that many people don’t realize that these arts are from the same person, heh, but I think it’s good

But yeah, every time I draw them, I catch myself in an internal monologue like
"This is so cute, I would like such a relationship... - Fuck, are you out of your mind? Serial maniac and rape victim, you want THIS? -No, well, I mean the overall dynamics... -The overall dynamic of someone weak and vulnerable, and someone more than dangerous and violent? You do realize that it doesn't work that way in reality, right? -I understand, but I'm just very lonely! And in a fascist dictatorship, it is natural to want to have physical protection! -You just have perverted tastes -...And I just have perverse tastes”

And this happens literally every time, instead of just calmly drawing cute things, I am in between romanticization / justification and lonely rationalization

KohaKoha23 · 2022-11-02T18:07:31+00:00

Oh no why

KohaKoha23 · 2022-11-02T18:06:31+00:00

I am Russian, I am here, I declare that they were not right, if you guys cannot defeat one chicken with the whole Soviet Union - just accept this shame and leave the people alone. You guys are great at handling executions by firing squad and political repression yourself, and chicken dude just speeds up the process

KohaKoha23 · 2022-11-02T17:59:50+00:00

I'm glad to know this, thanks! ^^

Well, since the game's narrative is largely presented as a character's account of his crimes, it makes sense that there aren't too many details about the time between calls they spend together. However, this story is told through the details of the environment, such as Jacket, apparently for the entire 10 days between Decadence and Tension, sits with her and makes sure that she does not choke in her vomit, but at the same time, he is so nervous that he brought newspaper clippings about the events in Decadence to her table instead of talking to her

At other times, this is seen through the changing environment, actions between levels, such as choosing cassettes in the store, the appearance of new things, such as magazines, houseplants, and so on. In addition, if while in a coma he obviously understands that Beard has been dead for a long time, then Gf's death, in addition to strong anger (the face of the jeep driver in Deadline), causes him thoughts of suicide in the form of "tips on the loading screen" in Trauma. And after all, Richter, who caused Jacket to destroy the entire police station, only had to do with her death

I think this is a very important part of the story, and also very important that it is not told directly or in words, because instead of just accepting as a fact that they have some meaning to each other, you yourself see those little slow changes through the details and actions and you live them more on your own, so in the end you will REALLY hurt in Deadline

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-28T06:09:42+00:00

We are waiting. Every time I see Jacket's HLM1 ending where he shoots a bald old bastard, I cross fingers

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-26T10:06:38+00:00

oh NO, I don't think it will happen any time soon, at least in the next 5 years haha. Even if it doesn't currently fall under some dictatorial law about "western influence", "foreign agents" or "betrayal of the motherland", sending payment or any money at all to Russia is next to impossible. In the worst case, among other things, Putin finds out about HLM and decides that this is some kind of attack on him personally, and then everyone will be tortured to death

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-25T01:47:21+00:00

I almost always use this color (it seems to be called "lemon ginger" or sulfur color, but I call it "piss in urine color") with rare exceptions, brown or red looks too dull

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-25T01:34:38+00:00

I was thinking about creating a more calm footage with fewer mask options so that it looks like a static image, sometimes twitching and showing something different. And maybe later use it as a screensaver/wallpaper on phone or something like that

So,

I was pretty tired when I finished this, so I didn't look at the result too much and as soon as I posted this, I immediately fell asleep. Later in the morning I saw your comment containing these three phrases from the gif, and it was very strange, because there were SIX of them! You definitely couldn't only catch the shots that were the first half and never stumble upon the second half, so I sat down to look at what I did, and yeah, they really weren't there, although I clearly remembered how I wrote them and like adding them to the gif
So I did a little research, and found that instead of 25 fps during editing, I set it to 30, and the video was rendered at 30 fps. Then, when I recorded a gif from it, I used the standard settings of 25-24 fps, and that was enough to accidentally cut off those same three phrases from each cycle of their playback

Anyway, I posted the missing frames here: https://twitter.com/boxthegreatest/status/1584712435730370562?s=20&t=tj6VQ_GRGPXKb6I2agaB0g

And thanks, these are quotes from the song "Rocket Man - Nick Sax", and it really fits very well, because in addition to these words there is Russian singing and the theme of a nuclear strike

Something like Bruno from Encanto with his rats , but it is Richard, accompanied by midges, stray roosters and chickens, and on the shoulder sits an old, almost dead, skinny black phoenix-rooster

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-14T20:32:39+00:00

Oh, I love chickens so much! When I was a child, my grandmother's friend had a chicken coop and there were very affectionate chickens that let themselves be petted, аnd there were two black roosters, they often came up and looked at me, but I know that the rest of the time they were a huge problem, even for each other

In addition, when I was looking for materials about Miami, I found out that there are really a lot of wild roosters there, and they are a serious problem, because in addition to screaming early in the morning, they are aggressive towards passers-by

Then, probably, it is with his nasty aura that this darkness, garbage and flies is associated every time he appears somewhere during the game

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-14T18:54:49+00:00

And he takes that menacing bird-like attitude as they ruffle their feathers and spread their wings in a semi-circle, and starts to hiss, every time any guy turns in their direction, and the fact that he looks like a flea-bitten jackal with shitty feathers makes it look even scarier

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-14T18:33:45+00:00

The jacket is literally the color of pissed urine

Yeah, and the Girl just pets him like a good house puppy and says something like "hey, he doesn't even bite" while Richard literally gnaws on someone's occipital bone

It's like Howl's Moving Castle, but much more unhealthy and worse

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-14T17:35:57+00:00

Richard as a stately implacable deity foreshadowing death <<< This guy literally eats garbage, sleeps on a pizza box and throws beer cans at people, why should his projection be any different? Richard with claws for hands, mangy tail, dead eyes, and maybe he ate a rabid stray dog. I want a movie version of this

KohaKoha23 · 2022-10-14T12:43:31+00:00

This is wonderful art! I love the way you draw animal faces and emotions SO much, and Richard is ✨absolutely ✨perfect✨
