"It's... quiet here. I really like being close to you like this. Is it okay if we stay here a little longer?"
A render of Mae Everhart, from Rebellious Takeover.
Used some new VFX tricks for this. Loved how it turned out. Enjoy! :D

Hey, so I need some help!
I need some voice actors for small "blips" (literally less than a second of voice) for each character in Rebellious Takeover. Contact me if you're interested, and share this around if you can! Thank you! :)

To extend my last post, I actually improved Deren's look a lot! He's no longer looking a little scuffed (kinda, still got some work to do).

Here's a showcase of what he looks like in a prototype version of Rebellious Takeover.

once again went silent, jesus i'm bad at this whole "social media" thing.
Anyways, I have this one Deren Overdrive render that I made recently that I can show. I'm ngl, it looks cool, but I made it in a rush for a college project. :(

It's been a little bit again. Sorry for the total disbandment of my socials, been working on some stuff, including getting back into college

Will update you guys soon with some new stuff! I've been working on a pretty cool side project as of recent that I have a lot to show for :D

One final thing - Here's a desktop wallpaper for RT, featuring the poster boy himself, Deren! I'm going to be doing around 12 in total, and this is 1st. Make sure to check the RT landing page & blog for updates to when the full pack drops!

I've got a LOT to show today!!

I made these a while ago but never shown it off - It's a concept design for Rebellious Takeover showing Deren's "Overclock/Overdrive" form, which is his ultimate that uses the "C.O.R.E" heart replacement he wields.

Second ever promotional artwork for Rebellious Takeover. It's to be used on banners in places like here and on YouTube, alongside game platforms like GameJolt!!

It's got a similar energy to the main one but only 2 characters. Should I make variants w/ each couple? 👀

holy blowup.

I haven't had this much traffic from people about one post in my entire time on the platform thus far. Thank you to everyone who found the post and liked it! ^^
I ended up updating my #portfolio on my website!

You can check it out at jakedravioli.neocities.org/portfolio !! It also shows off the new RT Landing page, so check that out too!! :D

It isn't too mobile friendly at the moment but I'm intending on changing it soon!

I made a better alternate pose for Lyra's VRC thumbnail that could also be used as a profile picture a while back, but never posted it here. Tell me what you guys think.

i have been having SO MANY PROBLEMS with my custom handle it's insane...
i mean, i'm pretty certain it shows fine for everyone else, but for some reason, it says for me I have an invalid handle...

Is it just me? I genuinely cannot tell. Someone tell me. :(
