Opened two new types of YCH commissions 🤗
on #VGen #vgencomm #art

⬇️⬇️⬇️

⬆️⬆️⬆️

One character sitting/lying inside a small computer monitor. Another character lying on top of the monitor, trying to reach the one inside.

Two characters smiling, holding hands with intertwined fingers, their faces squished against each other's. One has an angel wing and halo, the other has demon horns, wing and tail.

And you were my home 🏠🐟

Digital art. Two humanoid figures on a grassy field with red flowers. Their bodies are featureless, and one has a fishbowl for a head while the other has a house. Fishbowl person is falling from the sky and the house is catching them. Fishbowl has a frame around them like objects in art programs do when you move them.

You play a game that doesn't exist.

It tells you the story of a story.

Nothing should be the same, yet, you see bits and pieces...

...that are oddly familiar.

It warns you not to go deeper.

New Undating Nonsimulator Episode!

UNDATING NONSIMULATOR S2E14 - Oddly Familiar

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 30

You are not barking by the way. Um. That's my name. My name is Ruff but I lengthen it to Rufous.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 30

But she's so hard to sell because she's the first main character and stands like THIS in her character introduction and you go, "Ruff, this portrait is too stiff!" Until you flip the page and see the others and go, "Ah. I see. She's just like that."

Digital art. An expressionless Strawberry Ketchup stands very stiffly in the void. Her hands are rolled into fists and her expression is stern but neutral.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 30

Strawberry Ketchup's design is one of my proudest achievements.

I love all the characters I've designed, I mean, I made them. If I didn't like them I'd change them 😂

But with her it's like I've reached that perfect balance. She's so simple yet clearly herself 🏠

Poster for Undating Nonsimulator. Digital art. Shows Strawberry Ketchup smiling and holding up a small red planet. Behind her stands Cloud Pudding, his hands on her shoulders, leaning on her slightly. They have floating mouse cursors around them, pointing at them. Behind them is a frame inside a frame inside a frame. And behind those is a space background with many stars. At the bottom the poster reads: "Undating Nonsimulator. On Youtube @rufoustee. End ID.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 24

Your desire to create/consume "innocent and pure" art will exhaust you.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 24

No way I'm next 🤪

(also for the first time ever the preview crop kind of helps 🤔)

Digital art. A person is wearing a medieval head crusher. We can only see the top of their head. Above them is another person, holding the handle of the device. This second person is also wearing a head crusher. A third person, off-screen holds the handle of the second device.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 20

Hello? Are you there? When you said you would love me in any lifetime, were you just being corny or were you serious? Because here I am, standing at the edge of the universe. I see the goldfish, still dreaming. No, I'm not a worm, not this time, haha. Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? #art

Digital art. One character (Cloud Pudding) dipping another (Strawberry Ketchup) (dip as in the dance move). The characters' bodies are composed of simple geometric shapes, the pose is exaggerated so the characters' limbs are stretched and long and their heads are detached from their bodies. Strawberry's composed of different shades of red while Cloud has different shades of blue, except for his eyes that are two large bright yellow circles. On the right there's text written in code: "Goldfish dreams."

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 16

6/6 All this to say I'll just change his design with no canon explanation lol. I need to work on it a little longer, mostly the proportions, but he looks better already.

(His hair had already been changed.)

Zucchini will also get a slightly less noticeable redesign.

Screenshot from a drawing app shows the top half of Pitaya's body. He now has a chin. His outfit and accessories remain the same.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 16

5/6 But his design tells you... Nothing. He is dressed in a fun way, which isn't necessarily a children-only thing, but combined with his design it makes things worse. He looks like a tall chinless child with long limbs! I kept this design for the sake of continuity. Until now.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 16

4/6 The thing is, this character is supposed to be an adult. He's in the role of an adult, he is in this dating sim with adult characters, and even if he doesn't date anyone, he should be able to potentially date them. Context tells you he is an adult.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 16

3/6 His design was a joke on bad AI generated art! (So was Zucchini's) He's based on these characters from this very quick scene. The "fictional AI" took random pieces from the characters below to create this one!
(No real AI was involved of course, I did that.)

A bunch of people in colorful cosplay inside a messy public bathroom.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 16

2/6 I had to design the characters, draw the backgrounds, write the script, draw the character sprites, make those musical dialogue files, and edit the video.
His first appearence was literally the first drawing I've made of him. No sketches. No alternatives.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 16

A bit of a confession:

Since his FIRST appearance, I've disliked Pitaya's design. At the time, I was making these episodes as fast as I could. Between this episode and the previous one, there was one month. 1/6

Screenshot from Undating Nonsimulator Episode 10. It shows Pitaya Macaron standing in a kitchen. Digital art.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Sep 2

"Everybody loves her!" 🏠🌈

Back to art posting! You get: Undating Nonsimulator.

igital art. Strawberry Ketchup from Undating Nonsimulator standing in front of an empty pixel-art landscape. She is faceless, and her hands are folded in front of her. Around her, many blue hands are trying to reach her, praying, begging, clawing at her image.

Same image as the previous slide, except in this one, Strawberry has one green eye with smudged makeup.

It's not just that I'm creating a coded language btw. That's like, normal.

It is how you can clearly see my frustrations with other code alphabets (and the Latin alphabet itself!) that's abnormal😅

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Aug 5

Normal people: Hey how is it going?
Me:

Instructions for a substitution code alphabet. Show how to and how not to draw three of the symbols: Includes which symbols they could be mistaken for, which mirrored/rotated versions are acceptable (they all are), and the correct strokes. It is not specified which letters they correspond to.

New Episode! So close to the season 2 finale!

Undating Nonsimulator is an animated series about a video game about freaks. Weirdos even. Some of them come in pairs. #art #animation

i just want people with an avatar that’s an animal or a cartoon or a famous person to know that that’s still what i think you look like

In everyday use I spell cypher with a y because I don't want to out myself as a Gravity Falls fan 😊

"Who uses the word cypher in everyday-" You don't know my life.

Rufous Tee @rufoustee.bsky.social · Jun 28

I feel like kids' perception of what an old age is is changing (lowering) and that's sad.
