Hate and Hope

The au now has a title and cover.

Also finally a full color art of Hope.

Okay so I redesigned my redesign of AM to make it fit more on the AU + I need him to look as miserable as a sock vomited by a dog. Also included very vague concept art for some scenes, I’m not the best at landscapes.

Regarding my OC’s dynamic with AM, I’m still figuring out some stuff but I made this to put it simply

“No matter what I do, how many bodies I put myself in, I’ll never escape this god forsaken planet.”

I haven’t explained much lore between these two, but I like to imagine them with a villain/hero dynamic that chill together once in a while. Though it’s also not exactly like that, since both AM and BE are doing morally correct and incorrect actions as time passes by (in their own way). I don’t rlly mind spoiling stuff from this AU since I’m not planning to develop it as a fic or anything, so I might as well take my time to explain at least what my drawings are meant to represent. Later on I’ll continue posting stuff to connect the dots correctly.

In this situation, AM is devastated to realize that despite achieving to create a body for himself to go to the surface he simply isn’t able to escape himself as he needs his cables to be bound to the ground. He is still able to cause destruction of course (and he does as he hates BE for a few reasons), but both of them try to understand eachother whenever they get the chance to. These small pauses and talks are important for the relationship they hold later on.

Edit: [THIS LORE IS NOT UPDATED]

“From a very young age, Adam had always behaved as an introverted and shy child that craved the idea of keeping his life slow and simple. His high intellect was quite notable since his early years, but he only showed interest towards a compact area of hobbies consisting of reading, writing, and occasionally if he felt inspired enough, sketch drawing. His biggest dream had always been to publish a book or novel of any sorts, of any kind, he just wanted to see his name as the author of some book for sale in a small library around the corner of the street. He never managed to finish any of his projects however, and he blames his first breakup during adolescence to have taken all of his light and motivation away ever since. Sealing all strong feelings inside his heart, he recurred to keep all of his verses and stories to himself in a small, miserable book that could hardly be closed shut.

To worsen the matter, his dreams were seen further out of reach after he was forced to join the [REDACTED] project, making him begin an exhaustive process of preparation that would allow him to survive after the population was massacred, with his hopes and dreams as a price to pay.”

Aaaaand we begin the survivor concept design reveal with this guy! (excuse his face, just like the others he has seen the horrors).

Adam is supposed to take Ted’s “place” in the group, making him the youngest and the protagonist too. To explain a bit about the dynamic that I have liked so far for the survivors, they are young adults that got their dreams taken away by the war that eventually led AM to kill everyone. I like to imagine that all those 750 humans on the moon were either important people or the most intelligent YOUNG minds the government could find in the least time possible. So along with many other teens (at the time) he was forced to begin training for this project and dedicate the rest of his life to the restoration of Earth (supposedly). Adam’s name is based off Adam from the Bible, referencing that he was the first human to set foot on the newly born Earth/nature created by BE.

About his suit, this is supposed to be the design the humans used during cryogenic sleep. This could be considered an accurate representation of Adam right after exiting his capsule, except for the small detail that he’d have his head shaved (LATER ON BE GIVES EM HAIR OKAY).

Each survivor has a dream they abandoned for the sake of this project, each survivor has a dream that could only be lived in a simulation at this point… perhaps the Earth has something to offer for them?

[This lore/dynamic might stay as canon, but is still considered a wip].

Gonna consider this a WIP but wanted to post it soooo errmmm more AU art YAAAAAAYYYY!!!

This one includes symbolism of some basic stuff, yet I’m still working on the story n everything overall, I’m just thinking about it too much

I rarely render art too, when I do it’s usually things I’m very obsessed with at the moment.

Errrrrmmm concept art of an OC for a ihnmaims AU im doingfffggg….. (prolly gonna change her a lot + I don’t have much lore yet. Yes she’s an excuse to kiss AM SO WHAT!!!!! IM CRINGE BUT IM FREE!!!!!1!1!!)

More IHNMAIMS AU YIPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Ok so erm basically at some point in the timeline BE gets stronger and has this new ability of turning into a giant woman, plus the ability of spawning life at her will. With this, she commences the rebirth of Earth’s nature little by little. In the first drawing I included some inspiration I took for this body and BE overall. I noticed that BE has almost the same dynamic as Mother Nature from Disney’s short film Firebird - Fantasia 2000. She can move across dead landscapes and make nature flourish with just her presence. She can shapeshift back into her original body too (she’s similarly as op as AM, what were you expecting?). I also took inspo on auroras, the thermal colors of the human body, and manta rays for her shape, some stuff I found fitting for some reason. In BE’s programming, the only two things (I have planned so far) that she can’t do is to kill, and to hate. Of course this might change throughout the story…

If I ever get to do a small comic for the prologue of my AU, I’d like it to be narrated as a myth of sorts and illustrated simply. I like it a lot when series / movies have these type of scenes since you get to understand the context from the surface, and they also look very cool :3. This reminded me of the intro of Hercules (Disney) too, kinda wanna get to that.

Concepts and more concepts! This time I went on to design BE’s additional monitor body and her own version of the monolith, which would be an olive tree with her speech engraved in it.

For her monitor I obviously based it off the iMac g3, such beautiful lads… it would fit her perfectly imo :3c. Regarding the ‘survivors’ I’m still workin on them.
