Trying out a new style for how I draw the IEYTD characters. I really want to lean more into shape language. Anyways, here's some miscellaneous doodling. I'll hopefully make some real art soon.

IEYTD Actor au!

So imagine that the games are actually seasons of a sitcom. So each game it's own season. All of the characters are just that, characters and everyone is an actor. That being said, John Juniper is just John Juniper. He (like Wil Wheaton who plays him) will occasionally do cameos as himself in tv shows. So they ran with it and were like "hey do you wanna play yourself but as a way more egotistical version who ends up being a lackey for Dr. Zor? You get to die an epic death at the end?"

And of course he LOVES the idea. I expect you to die is one of his favourite shows after all! So he says yes and they film his season. He gets really attached to everyone and he is very sad that "he" dies. But then they air the season and people are outraged that John died! Or at least... Some people are.

It becomes one of those things like "who shot Mr. Burns?" In the Simpsons and the "sherlock didn't die when he fell" of Sherlock. Like people genuinely believe that it's all a ruse and it sparks outrage through the fandom. There are theories and debates about it. Even into season 3 people are looking for clues that John is coming back.

Then they approach John like "hey I know you are literally the best actor in the world now and this is just a silly little spy sitcom but will you please come back to make the fans happy?"

And he is overcome with joy! He ends up becoming the biggest thing that's ever happened in television history and all of the others (Phoenix, Roxana, Reginald, ect) all LOVE that their silly little show has become the most highly anticipated show ever.

So like is this a valid au? Can we make this happen?

So y’know how Phoenix is commonly referred to as they/them (as peoples’ interpretations, not the in-game player character) and so is Zor?

I like to think that Phoenix has absolutely zero gender, people cannot figure out what they are just that they do their job well, while Zor has all of the gender and people have next to no clue what their exact role is as head of Zoraxis. People still can’t figure out what they are but for opposite reasons. Phoenix doesn’t talk at all, Zor has a voice modulatior that makes them have a double voice of male and female. People know who Phoenix is and still can’t figure them out, we know next to nothing about Zor and also can’t figure them out.

Zor stole all of Phoenix’s gender, that’s the real evil. Not that they had much to begin with, but it’s the principle of the matter.

the full fambly !!! + Recent IEYTD doodle dump, i changed my fabby design again, she lost her arm, it detached itselft from her and is now running around... its a perfect vessel for Zor's voice , call it the Zor crab ...

MECH SOLARIS i need to design her big mech .. already posted the second to last in another doodle dump but oh well ..

in my interpretation, Zor is human th like the handler and Roxana but never show their true self.. at least now now Juniper and Fabby are humanoid while, solaris, hivemind and Phoenix are creatures !

If you have a Zor design, could you do Zor in Corporate throne? If you don't, then anyone else is fine too

This started out as a concept sketch for a Zor design, but I liked it so much I colored over it with this palette. I've got more stuff to say for this Zor, but I really like the idea of them being / controlling a huge as fuck robot built into the facility. Glados style if you know what I mean. Anyways

Original palette by @the-valiant-valkyrie !

random sketch dump from various dates! not much of a theme here lmao

citing my sources: [shameless fruit stealer] [littleguysdaily template] [cuntress]

bonus (suggestive???) fabbylaris under the cut. Crude joke and nothing more really

Solaris ... call me crazy but i think fabby's trying to tell you something

Just think about how chaotic Zoraxis meetings would be.

Hivemind is there and just telling everyone about his bees, which was not in any way what they needed to discuss. The Fabricator is criticising everyone’s outfit other than her own. Solaris does not want to be there and is trying to complain to Zor about the Death Engine being blown up. Juniper is just chatting to people and, trying and failing, to subtly tell them about all his greatest performances. Ollie is not sure what’s going on, but happy to be there anyway. Roxana is slightly terrified but also silently judging all of them and finally Zor is just done with all of them.

Then Agent Phoenix just falls onto the table from a vent in the ceiling half way through.

It’s like a big family dinner!

Ieytd characters as random images I found

So, Phoenix is unbothered by alcohol, we know that much. And yeah, they can be knocked unconscious with sedatives, but when they wake up they're, in the grand scheme of things, totally fine.

They can wake up, eat a meal, and solve a death trap in under 5 minutes (incredible bounce back coming as someone who's been put under for multiple surgeries imo). No nausea, dizziness, or anything the sort, immediately functioning just fine.

So, what if Phoenix metabolizes sedatives really quickly?

What if they were knocked out with a poison and taken into Zoraxis custody and woke up early from the attack? What if they were in a room full of Zoraxis operatives who were casually discussing their plans for the bird, meanwhile Phoenix is awake and desperately trying to look convincingly asleep. Maybe they even pretend to be waking up, slow, shuddery motions, trying to curl up to push back a fake nausea, not looking at anyone as they shake and hiccup, "trying to not be sick".

Then, suddenly they hear a bunch of EOD operatives flooding into a building for a rescue operation, and snap to, easily slipping out of the restraints they'd been feeling around for the last hour or two and making a mad dash for freedom, much to the immense confusion of every Operative in that room.

Zor knew the whole time, but they just wanted to see how far the Phoenix would go with the theatrics.

conceptualizing.....

…for clarity’s sake :3

More IEYTD designs!!! Here's my ZOR and Phoenix designs (Phoenix is just pure black for the rest of their outfit UFHFU)

The next pair I'm (hopefully) going to do will be Handler and Juniper, but idk when they will be lmao.

How I imagine IEYTD 4 will go.

Broken Promises

Phoenix: Welp, it's 2024. Handler: Indeed. Phoenix *checking watch*: Still no lake full of acid. Handler *examining the sky*: Zero-percent chance of drills in the forecast, I'm afraid. Phoenix: Y'know, I have been underwater in Zoraxis equipment twice now, and I haven't seen a single shark. Handler *exaggerated surprise*: Really? Not even one teensy little shark? Phoenix *exaggerated consternation*: Not a dang one! Dr. Zor *furious*: THE SONG WAS FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES! YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT LITERALLY! Handler: Any sawblades? Phoenix: Only offscreen. Dr. Zor *sulking*: Just you wait, I am tripling the number of lasers in the next game...

I Expect You To Die from I Expect You To Die

No propaganda was submitted for either track.

If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!

Pretty rare for Dr. Zor to pull out the fuck you gesture. Solaris should be honored.

Couldn't stop thinking about this picture so I had to draw it sorry
