This isn't something anyone has every directly said to me by the way. I thought of this video after I posted This is Not the Land of the Living. I thought maybe someone would say "holy shit Rez, are you okay, this is so fucking dark." and then I would make this video in response. No one said that, but I decided to make the video anyways. So now I have this ready to go if anyone ever questions my depression I guess?

I made a new character recently that Im very obsessed with (if you couldnt tell). Thought itd be neat to see how I actually go about making art of her.
I have no experience with 3D modeling and am unable to draw people, so Ash is a character designed in and made with Photoshop painting and photomanipulation. I did retexture Joker to give myself a base to work with, but due to the limitations of SSBB textures and there not being any model edits, the face texture becomes very muddled on close ups. To remedy this, I just redraw Ashs face in Photoshop. And I always redraw Ashs hair, since hers is longer and more disgusting. So yeah, Ash is a character I create with Photoshop and I have a lot of fun making art of her.

Im working on projects, I swear.")

Just an idea I felt like throwing out there. I have a lot of little audio clips scattered all over my disk. Most of these I send to my friends, but some of these Ive posted to my Patreon. Anyways, Im gonna elaborate on some of these.
Rez and Myth Test Scene - While developing Emergence and Insurgence, I made a new character who goes by the codename Myth (wonder who that is based on). Rez and Myth have a dynamic that I can describe as Eminem and Dr. Dre, Rez being Eminem. Mythical Sushi was so excited to voice this character, but he doesnt appear until the very end of Insurgence, so I whipped up a little test scene script for him and I to test out their dynamic. The scene came from a joke I or Myth said in call one day: What if Myth was just wandering around and Rez just flew in via a window at his feet, and all he said was: oh hey Rez, I was wondering where you were at.
Kintsugi - Original Ending
When Kintsugi first started out, it was meant to be a short album, consisting of only 10 or so tracks. It was also originally called Gilded Teeth. It was an extremely bitter and angry album. This was the original ending where Ghost basically tells the listener to get lost. I didnt like how bitter it was though, so I experimented with a few more endings before deciding to end it on THE LOVE. I forgot to include this in Bluebird, and only included the much darker ending that I also cut.
Father I Am Distressed
One of the first sessions from Every Once in a While, the album Ive been working on since April. I dont think Im gonna use this on the album and its too short and wacky and doesnt really fit the tone of the rest of the project.
It Just Hurts
This was something I said to someone on Discord one night that I recorded for... reasons? I do weird things when Im depressed. I was thinking about including it on Every Once in a While, but its too bitter for the album, so I didnt use it.
In Theory - Title Track Demo
This was the song that started the whole project. Rag sent me the melody layered over some ambience stuff I sent him. It didnt really match well with the ambience in the background, so I asked him to send me the melody and Id take a crack at it. This demo is what I made in about an hour or so. I really liked the concept, so I fleshed it out more later that night until we got the title track for In Theory.
DR550 and FANGS Test Sessions With the Strega
The Strega is such an interesting beast of sound, and as soon as I get a new device in the office, I test it with the Strega to see what happens. The DR550 is a drum machine from 1990 I recently acquired at a pawn shop. I pretty much only use it with the Strega, but its nice to have a more expansive drum kit, one of these days Ill learn how to program it. Ive used the DR550 in a few tracks so far, most notably What Do Dragons Dream Of, My Wasting Time remix, and future tracks on EOW.
FANGS is a distortion pedal I bought recently. I got it for my bfs electric guitar, but of course, I knew I could use it for the Strega. The two work very well together. I recently combined the Strega, the FANGS, and my keyboards to make something (that was a cable nightmare).
