How obvious is it that an obsession is quickly forming

Voice of the Cold and the Contrarian

Uhh stp art!! Been making some voice designs recently!!

Those are all the ones I finished!! But I might change cold and broken a little bit

Also— concepts :]

[the question marks are because I already made the contrarian and hero designs before I made those headshots LOL]

|| Edit: im honestly very surprised that this post is actually getting likes LMFAO— Glad you all like my designs!! ||

"And then we throw it out the window!"

Contrarian, my boy!! He's a 'eastern owl' btw.

Also bonus for The Cold! Short meme I did so I'll go through his design again later,

And bonus art, again!

you grab me by the lapels of my jacket and slam me against the wall but i'm wearing so many layers that i just start awkwardly sliding downwards out of your grip

the voices in some god's head

Some designs for the Voices! Since the Long Quiet is a bird man, here's a bunch of bird men

Skeptic wants no part in this.

I don’t know if this meme has a name, but I felt like doing it with the voices. I think it’s funny how you can literally see how I draw them change slightly over the course of the drawings, the hands especially.

NOBODY is allowed to be happy and EVERYONE is doomed

Hi studio investigrave fans please be my friend

My girlfriend had me draw these

Tbh I just need y'all to see my drawing of Spectre trimming Slayer's nails for 'em. I'm stupid happy with the Voices' narration "boxes". Lil shield is Hero, and Cold is bent in a smile with icicles.

Narrator is disgusted with this use of the Pristine Blade, ofc

a short placing heavy emphasis on Hungarian Rhapsody No. II is a rite of passage for golden age cartoons. Bugs Bunny did it! Tom and Jerry did it! Daffy and Donald! but one thing Woody Woodpecker has above the competition is that he is held hostage by a group of gangsters and is forced to entertain, lest he get executed. amazing

Path Through the Woods: The Presence

The Presence lingers, a creeping, cruel remnant of a shattered potential that gave nary a scream. He doesn't plan to give you the chance, either.

The Presence is the representation of the Voice of the Cold in Path Through the Woods. His foil is the Voice of the Drifter.

To me, the Voice of the Cold doesn’t strike me as “emotionless and completely logical all of the time,” because a lot of his advice that he gives the Player is GENUINELY illogical or just plain bad decision making: Cold often pushes the Player to make decisions based on impulsive judgements and snap decision-making. The other Voices all call Opportunist flaky and mock how he plays both sides, but Cold often does the same thing, except, instead of trying to appeal to the strongest person in the room to gather any power like Opportunist, Cold is motivated solely by what he thinks would be the most entertaining option, regardless of whether you live, die or suffer. Opportunist tries to at least appear to be a team player, while Cold doesn’t even bother.

In the Spectre Route, Cold’s first suggestions are VERY antagonistic, like trying to kill her a second time, or even just breaking her bones to see if she’ll disappear. But when the Spectre brings up the idea of possessing you, he’s IMMEDIATELY on board just because he wants to see the Narrator and the Spectre interact.

To me, Cold doesn’t feel like logic. He feels like a representation of impulsive thoughts, how he sort of just gives into whatever idea he becomes enamored by from a detached viewpoint of mild curiosity. Whenever he makes a suggestion, it’s interesting to the Player but ultimately detrimental to the Long Quiet’s wellbeing. Listening to Cold gets you more interesting results in the Routes, but also leads you into situations like the Greys, the Wraith, and the Spectre, which are all Routes that inevitably put the Long Quiet into distressing situations.

I feel like if he had his own body he’d be a very detached, disinterested person who only shows interest when something fascinates him, at which point he will ruthlessly try it out even if the consequences are negative for himself or others.

Did I mention he’s one of my favorites? I just love his character lol
