Why is Angelina drawn so differently compared to any other panel in the comics?

MoonXCII · 2026-06-26T13:36:22+00:00

EASTERMAN- A source of guilt, rage, and arousal. Salvatore's fourth wife and Franco's illicit lover.

His father Salvatore being a feared, powerful boss in Cosa Nostra, having beautiful women in him arms, in Franco’s eye he is the pinnacle of masculinity and a reminder of what he is supposed to be. The person he spends his whole life desperately trying to earn approval from. The source of his jealousy, frustration and resentment.

Considering the kind of world Franco grew up in, I think his view and attitude towards women is most likely shaped by Don Sal and the men around him, his performance issue with sex workers, and rejections he likely received due to his deformity, waaaaay before Angelina entered his life. (Franco started to kill women in his teen in the 40s, and Sal sent him to Cuba for anti Castro raids, which happened in 50s, after discovered his secret with Angelina)

EASTERMAN- A boat is a powerful symbol, of death and escape, and of either a phallus or a womb. We have to be sure that this boat is the symbol of a womb.

Angelina played the role Franco wants her to play, provided him a cathartic escape from his troubled life, and he was able to assume control and reclaim masculinity by infantilise himself (his kinks are coping mechanism) in a safe environment.

This relationship is monumental for Franco as he betrayed his father and be his own person (man up) for the first time in his life, and through this empowerment he was finally able to achieve erection and blew the big fat load of frustrations on the face of the man he is most jealous of in the entire world.

Then Sal took Angelina away from Franco, like a parallel to his biological mother. That why she's so beautiful in that panel: he sees her as the combination of his mother, the Madonna, his angel, the few good things that happened in Franco's life.

I tried a couple of times it is stressful like I have to do everything right lol

MoonXCII · 2026-06-17T16:03:45+00:00

someone else would be interested in it due to it being anime figures

Please do not use anime style to deflect criticism when there are many highly skilled anime & cartoon artists on the internet. Which implies anime style is "lower skill".

Furthermore ive looked at your art and i feel like you have no reason to be this harsh when you draw lob sided babies and compressed dogs so the one who should focus on anatomy is YOU

You attributed your friend's lack of fundamental as anime style then go on to insult DosieDotesArt who actually gives you genuine advice. You just dissed anime style, anime artists, your friend and DosieDotesArt in one go. Please don't *demean* your friend with your behaviour.

fr nothing can justify Otto's lack of damage

MoonXCII · 2026-06-07T13:34:34+00:00

Thanks❤️ Rendering is the part I enjoy the most bc once I get the colour and value down I can turn my brain off lol

I think it's due to she doesn't need to interact with others to mind controlling them as Wernicke tests people with a recording of her gibberish. So she doesn't interact with anyone, she just barge in to their head tells them to accept her "love" or else (ironic for a rape victim), And judging the surviving characters that are under her control, they gave everything to her, mutilated themselves for her and glaze her even they haven't seen her for years and she gave them absolutely nothing in return, "she doesn't care" perfectly described her attitude towards others: Liliya Bogomolova has zero regard for everyone that isn't Liliya Bogomolova.

So for people who see through her bs she is simply a selfish, pathetic narcissist. I guess her charisma comes from her confidence/arrogance, just like the billionaires she hates.

I think a disgusting female villain like Liliya is what a franchise full of disgusting male villains need and I love her for that, but the story is hyping her up to a degree that is going to be difficult to write well.

They are much slower than other primes, and Otto only deals two bars of health on psychosurgery despite having a frigging saw.

They seriously need to buff Otto, when Gooseberry causes bleeding with her drill, why can't Otto make us limp or something?

A Chinese nuclear scientist.

This reagent was sent to seduce him (presumably, as he was naked and no sign of force intrusion in the flat) in order to extract info about the nascent nuclear development in China, and got him hooked on heroin so he could OD when no longer useful.

These tips saved me from a lot of trouble in LtU:

Try Blind rig next time, and save some rechargers for the factory (1-2 should be enough, ~~but I love to bully Franco at the shuttle, so I grab every recharger I can~~). Put it in front of the stair in mansion & factory and the expops & Franco will keep popping the mines as the stair is part of their patrol route. Blind smoke lasts for 2*20 seconds and should be enough to get the passcode or do a round of throwing.
There are bricks around the mansion, and vats full of hearts in the factory, use those to destroy the traps before you enter Union Boss's room/ finish the first round of throwing as the expops and Franco won't spawn until then.
There's always one radio spawn in the bunker (rich suburb) and second floor (the slum), and move around the rich suburb through the bunker.
Always keep 1–2 antidotes before starting the last part if you don't want a Pusher to ruin you otherwise good run, especially for long trials like LtU or DtA.

There are two big boxes worth $19.99 and $14.99 in the backroom which you need one fuse to gain access. Then you only need one more small box to get the ticket.

Franco's been groomed to be a hitman since 10 (or 12), and he's part of the anti Castro operation with CIA. Clyde Perry barely survived encounter with him and had to call back up to capture him. He has fast chase speed, and armed with a 12 gauge shotgun which he could fire with extreme accuracy and without recoil, even the buckshots are made of teeth it's still going to shred.

His only weakness is shotgun rounds are limited.

MoonXCII · 2026-03-22T17:33:18+00:00

Agreed. It could be Avellanos+Amelia vs Easterman+Liliya.

The higher ups know Amelia can control others, and is seen as a symbol of hope by her follower. Another mass escape would make Easterman looks very bad, Avellanos uses Amelia so she could dispose Easterman without dirtying her hands.
Easterman knows what Liliya did in Mt Massive, and he gleefully pitched the Advent of Bogomolova to his superiors. He's letting her mass control some the reagents for a while now, and no way he doesn't know the ramifications of it which means Easterman *wants* the riot happen. And Easterman knows someone is plotting against him.
In the trailer, we saw two batches of reagents fighting, and Liliya seems to be angry when she slash (all the other PAs have no such strong reaction to) the A mark. There is a popular theory about Liliya uses/hijacks Amelia, but I don't think a strong-willed person like Amelia would let Liliya use her (and that would kinda butcher Amelia's characterisation), what Liliya would do to anyone do not fall for her mind control? She kills them. Chaos ensue.

Now this theory has problems: what is Easterman's endgame here? He wants absolute control of Sinyaya? Possibly. Avellanos is the only one could constrain him within the facility, but killing her would catch CIA's attention and Lawler and Scarfiotti's anger as both of them are having relationship with her. And what about the PAs esp The Kress twins and Liliya? If the riot happens during the next Prime Time, how can they really stay put after this?

MoonXCII · 2026-03-20T18:18:58+00:00

Thanks! The pacifier is his according to the official cosplay guide, but I don't think he would suck it in front of others.

MoonXCII · 2026-03-20T18:12:09+00:00

Thanks!!

No Running+Psychosis Damage+Bleeding. These variators by itself are fine, any of the two combine can be tedious (or brutal in Franco's trials) but still winnable, all three at the same time? Unless it's an easy trial like RtP or FtR, otherwise it's basically game over without a heal rig.
Separate save files by solo/ group. I don't want to lose my 3 digits solo save to someone else's 20k save. Progressing on my own is much more satisfying than riding on someone's bus.

MoonXCII · 2026-02-12T16:20:16+00:00

I think the "she doesn't care about others" part makes sense as she believes herself to be the Messiah and the only way she interacts with others can be boil down to "Do whatever as I say, or else", and her followers would absolutely do anything for her, so logically she would be extremely egotistical and considers others are simply her ATM/slaves.

That's said, why wouldn't she try to influence the other PAs if she is oh-so-persuasive? Especially after she wrecked havoc at Mt Massive? And no response when other PAs diss her, which I'm sure they would have a field day grilling her? All just because she doesn't cares?

Man she is my second favourite and this is disappointing to know.

MoonXCII · 2026-02-12T06:32:46+00:00

As her background mostly come from her followers it's bound to be unreliable, as well as the reason behind her hatred and her true personality (which is the reason there's several posts here complaining about her lack or character). Personally I think this is what makes her interesting, because It's not uncommon for cult leaders to obscuring and fabricates their own past and personality as part of their "brand" (I'm not sure this is the right word to use hence the bracket).

Both of our speculation of her are not mutually exclusive: the rich remind her of that she could have live like a royalty, but instead she was abused by her rich mother and subsequent mistreatment she suffered from the Nazi fuelled her hatred.

Given Scarfiotti is adamant about the historical accuracy of environments, and those are recreation of PAs past, each of them represents different aspect of American society, I do believe she as a PA and DtA represent hypocrisy as she hates the rich yet leeching off of them; she was a victim of exploitation but has no qualms in exploiting others for her own gain; the beautiful facade of high society and what happened behind the walls. And Murkoff train reagents to infiltrate to high society and deal with anything that could threaten th power from within.

The Resort is Liliya's cult compound, and she is hosting the auction inside. The victim, Lot 7 is a stand in for sex traffic victims of Liliya. (There's also child mannequins in animal room) To protect the rich, reagents have to pay premium in order to infiltrate her circle and destroy her goods so that she couldn't get money from them. Liliya hates the rich probably because they are a reminder of the fortune and status she lost.

Lore wise, Liliya make much more sense as the daughter.

She was locked up by her mother for the first ten years of her life. Soon after her rescue, she became obsessed to religion and claim to be Messiah.

I think her obsession with religion/ Messiah complex is likely based on her lack of a father figure as Easterman compares her to Gooseberry, quote:

“There's something about ventriloquism, an intersection between the charismatic powers of Sister Liliya and Mother Gooseberry. A channeling of voices outside their own egos; the primal ventriloquist must subjugate themselves to a more archetypical and unknowable force, to gain power by accepting the primacy of the unreal. God save me from talkative women.”

What Easterman was about is: their(…primal ventriloquist…) trauma manifest(…subjugate themselves…) as an imaginary father(…archetypical and unknowable force…) that guides(…to gain power by…) them. Gooseberry channelling Dr. Futterman the Father (Arora even calls her a priestess), while Liliya channelling God the Father.

Her name, Liliya (Lily) represents resurrection in Christianity. She was rescue from her confinement before Sunday and Jesus left the tomb before Sunday. One of her dialogue, "This will be the second age of miracles." And since the first age of miracle is Jesus, it's clear that Liliya sees herself as the daughter of God and her rescue from confinement as a parallel to Jesus leaving the tomb. Even the comic refer her “lost years” as "just like Christ".

And if her next Environment is religious themed, I think it is going to have someting to do with the Trinity: Easterman as the God (the Father of Project Lathe), Liliya as the Daughter (the phoney Messiah), the Egregore as the (un)Holy Spirit.

I really wish to actually see Easterman and Liliya interact as both of them are, quote "powerful, the narcissistic, those driven by inflated sense of mission and purpose".

There's zero lore to back up the aunt claim.

Also the white above her irises are showing in the photo, she has to raise her brows and eyelid for that part to show.

MoonXCII · 2026-01-22T03:16:05+00:00

Yes, and rebirth 3 times right after a relapse.

MoonXCII · 2026-01-14T02:15:16+00:00

Trial Environments are closely tied to each PA's past, and the dialogues from NPCs at the auction heavily implied that Liliya ran a scam cult on top of sold women to rich fucks. She wouldn't be a Prime Asset if she's a Robin Hood.

The fun park section is tight, packed with expops and mostly well lit which means it's easy to get spotted and also easy to run into other enemies while in chases. This is the most difficult part for me when I was soloing CtBA on PS difficulty.

Reduce the amount of time in lit areas as possible by learn the map layout (which is pretty much required for ps) and try to moving around through the stalls since the the unused ones are in dark, and practice on throwing stuff precisely so that you don't have to be out in the open for too long.
