the mortis work log

[skinstealer]

here is where we track what the skinstealers are up to 
think of this like a weird little hybrid changelog/devlog/twitter feed/discussion thread for what's going on in our work life, feel free to sit down and comment on whats shaking and give feedback, and enjoy potential previews (though patrons will always get more than here)

working on solitude wiki article with zen and como now, on the culture section

[skinstealer]

finished my end of the notes for the culture section
finished aesthetic section
onto states now

hoping to finish this article with zen tonight, It's A Doozy

[cosmo]

oh g-d i'll bet

[skinstealer]

OKAY done with my portions of the solitude wiki thread
gonna take a little break and then maybe do some more outfit pieces for the clothing rack, theyre good practice and fun to do- will post outfits as i do em here

[skinstealer]

wheeeeeeee

[skinstealer]

[skinstealer]

been slower than usual tonight bc watching hilda, gonna stop here for the night- time to export and whip up some outfits

[skinstealer]

got some outfits done up, posting now

[skinstealer]

working on sorting all of my grandma output folders today, gonna get all of the finished customs ready for social media uploading and work on some adopts for uploading
though im probably gonna stagger em for release

[skinstealer]

did some sorting
305 unedited TCPs that need to be turned into adopts (though some of those are multi-TCP types)
98 custom generated TCPs that need posting (varying degrees of edits)
10 finished adopts to post as soon as im done with this, though i think ill do it staggered out

[skinstealer]

workin

[skinstealer]

gonna get to work, no stream today due to not feeling super great 
not sure when we're getting back to those but i will send commissions to those who have them

[BlueCrowned]

it's okay if you can't stream, thank you for your hard work and take it easy <3

[skinstealer]

bunch of commissions and advent TCPs done, posted advent to respective thread and sent comms off, debating whether to start in on neuroth variants or call it good because im kind of having a shit day

 
pbbbbtbbbt

[AceOfNothing]

Maybe try to start one and see if its okay or not? If you don't really feel like it don't force yourself

Taffywrap is a bean Id love to see them more

[skinstealer]

im kind of at a loss for how to develop them but como says i should try making them a writer, which is something i havent messed with yet (i like making my sonas artists because wow what a surprise) 

part of me wonders if i should open a q&a for my more silly side characters like the TCPs but that feels like a bit much

[BlueCrowned]

I'd enjoy that but if it would be too much for you that's understandable! I love TCP characters

[AceOfNothing]

Mortis Q&A hour, but side character oriented maybe?

[skinstealer]

yeah, its just that theyre mostly used for roleplaying and stuff so its like...I Am Using Official Resources For Bullshittery

[BlueCrowned]

Is RP bullshittery? I mean like, they're still very much a part of the Morbit universe! But I think I get what you mean

[skinstealer]

yeah for sure, and technically they are canon characters bc i made them and could technically slap them into a canon project whenever i wanted if i wanted to but i still consider them more akin to toys and for playing than anything work related or official, i'd feel weird doing a proper ping for that

[skinstealer]

pbbbtbtbtbtbtbbtbttbb

maybe ill go sulk in the nsfw forums and open up a q&a thread there or something idk
Dont Think Neuroths Are Happening

[BlueCrowned]

That's such a cute sketch

[AceOfNothing]

I love them ahhh

[skinstealer]

goals for today: 

• neuroth variant commissions
  
• HD project guide going up on the wiki, should help newbies out (and people who have Been in the community but havent explored all the projects yet/dont know where to go from here)
  
• probably figure out more forum engagement/character enrichment stuff
  

this will be prettier eventually but its a start

[skinstealer]

some WIP outfit parts, doing a few before working on project guide

[skinstealer]

was not expecting to post so fast but my next ref image was just a hat

as it turns out this mannequin isnt great for hats

[skinstealer]

these hats are really gonna be a problem

[BlueCrowned]

These are really good outfits :>

[skinstealer]

last for tonight, gonna export these and generate some outfits for sale

[skinstealer]

working on project guide now while waiting for dinner, will be taking a break for sweet home watch with como and ari tho

also posted something heinous with lucy in patreon chat

[skinstealer]

taking a break from project guide while zen puts in character links for me, everyone thank zen for the hard work

gonna figure out which of our characters qualify as artists so that we can participate in the new RP that vic set up, yes we are going to liveblog that here

[skinstealer]

THE BIG ARTIST CHARACTER LIST:

from official projects:

philly (does scientific illustrations, cannot participate in RPs due to unrevealed canon reasons, sorry)
beth (tabletop game designer, not sure if she'd participate in a chatroom but she is an option?)
wax (considers his many forms of design work an art form, but would DEFINITELY not join an art chat without serious masking of his identity)
chelsea smiles (former actor, does not know how to use a computer)
pheles smiles (painter, does not know how how to use a computer)
dovelace (robotics engineer, yes i count this as artistry fuck you, cannot participate due to unrevealed canon reasons and also no one knows who she is anyway? sorry)
dysthanasia (digital artist, will absolutely show up)
FIVE MILLION FELID FACTOR CHARACTERS IM NOT LISTING THESE THEYRE SECRET 
calvin caresmooth (pop star/activist, not likely to show up but possible?)
sludge (tattoo artist, sona, very likely)
smackjaw (ambiguous artist, sona, very likely)
wilson (secret medium, yes i made him an artist, fuck you)

personal characters that are still canon but pretty much just for RP
hazard (chef, will definitely be able to participate)
taffy wrap (writer, will definitely be able to participate)
rush (comic book artist, percy's, will definitely be able to participate)
fizzbang (pop star, calvin's, will possibly be able to participate)
limerick (costume maker, ellerie's, will possibly be able to participate)
fashion maven (fashion designer, krowling's, will possibly be able to participate)
vix (some kind of artist probably?, tony's, will possibly be able to participate)

i think thats all of em

[skinstealer]

done with project guide for the night, 90% done with it

just need to heckle people for project descriptions, add a summary, and add images for visual interest, as well as upload an old project tomorrow so that its properly on our servers and not on Websites Id Rather It Not Be On

bonus points on if you can guess what it is

[skinstealer]

working on project guide again, putting in links to worldbuilding concepts so that people can navigate around the wiki in case they dont have necessary pre-requisites to read a project

gonna be fucking ass making all these wiki articles that we don't Have Yet though, god

need info from other team members before some of this can be published even after i finish my part, and i do need to mirror a project we did a few years back before i can publish this

[skinstealer]
