iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yeah I took a normal amount of pictures to last for a week OTL. Editing these took so long even if I don't really do a lot of heavy PS lifting. Also remind me to take the DOF pic/regular pic next time cause I had to fake DOF on all of Vasa's due to forgor. Anyways, pics incoming

A screenshot from the video game Cyberpunk 2077. My OC, Vasa, stands in front of a low couch, visible from the waist up. His bright orange hair is shaved on both sides, with the central portion pulled back into a half-pony. He wears a black t-shirt and black camouflage cargo pants, with his hands tucked into the pockets. He also sports silver wire frame glasses and silver bracelets with a Rolex watch. His arms and neck are covered by blackout tattoos with linear skin breaks.

Vasa's expression reads slightly pained, slightly disapproving. He is lit in harsh blue and orange light.

As it is October, I thought I'd try out Halloween Hair [and eye] Colours with Vasa. This isn't a challenge, I just made it up, but if you want to 👉👈... Do it and @ me I want to 👀! Today's pick: Orange. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #CyberpunkVP | #VirtualPhotography | #ArsOC:Vasa

A screenshot from the video game Cyberpunk 2077. My OC, Vasa, sits in front of a brick and concrete wall. The bricks are underlit in orange, the concrete wall is a deep blue.

Vasa is a light skinned young man with shoulder-length hair that has been shaved on both sides and pulled into a half-pony. It is dyed bright orange. His eyes are black with matching orange irises. He wears a black t-shirt and silver wire frame glasses. Vasa holds a cellphone in front of his face, covering a half-smile. Both his neck and the visible portion of his hand are covered by a blackout tattoo with linear skin breaks.

Treated myself to some kisel (aka smooth fruit gel. NOT jello. Though it will set if you put it in the fridge). If you too enjoy a smooth gel texture, I def recommend trying some kisel if you can! These ones are single serve with some real fruit pieces. 10/10 flavour+convenience.

I do in fact enjoy a nice dark green 😌 but the notion I have 'peaceful harmony' within me... hahaha. Bruh no one look at the chaos bomb that is my desk (however I know where all my stuff is). Strong inner will might be true, at least. widget-club.com/wallpapers/t...

Oh also I finally used my keyboard with my tablet today because I am too tired to be on PC and kind of feeling like, not accomplished but some sort of pleased at accommodating myself? Keyboard + USB adapter were maybe $35. Small price, relatively speaking, so I can still be a bit online on 😴 days.

A screenshot from the video game Cyberpunk 2077. Vasa crouches in front of a plain black background. He wears white joggers, a black t-shirt, and various silver and purple bracelets along with a Rolex. He has short, shaggy white hair and vividly blue eyes, reminiscent of Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen.

He holds one hand up by his face in the old school 'on the phone' gesture, his other arm rests across his knee.

LRP: The lace is really pretty and should be small enough for 1/3rd scale work 🩷. Quality difference between this and synthetics is MILES. It's from bobbinsandneedles.com

Dans l'orifice, tu dis? Je comprends, mais, en anglais... c'est drôle (parce que j'ai douze ans lol). But tbf I don't know how good the translation on any of this was because the outside said you could embezzle this (wireless keyboard and mouse set) IF you had permission.

Ok I don't even know if you can get this outside of Canada, but this is the most milk-like oat milk/non-dairy milk I've yet had. Not that I care about the sugar or calories, but she truly gives the nothingburger flavour of milk. True test will be with tea. If you too refuse to tolerate lactose... 👀

I locked in. 2hrs. 3373 words. I'm calling this good and everyone in the writing exchange will read this 7.1 page eye crime and they will deal with it 😤. I'll probably use the remaining days to keep re-reading and tweaking but hoo, glad an idea hit. I might be a little obsessed with it now.

Panel one has a blue background and is titled 'Past'. It shows the artist's bee artsona looking sad and holding a picture. They say "Oh no. It isn't perfect no one can ever see this."
Panel two has a yellow background, and is titled 'Present'. The artist's bee artsona wears a slightly gremliny-smile with incongruously detailed eyes and nose (for comedic effect). They hold a picture proudly and say "He he. Who wants to see my new eye crime"

I sort of forget Nina is 60cm (2ft) tall, but getting her standing and then noticing how dinky that made my chonky hydroflask look was a definite 'woah' moment. Also, remind me to actually post and tag that Vasa pic for vp blue Monday later on

He wears a black t-shirt and white joggers. His short, shaggy hair is white, as are his eyebrows, and his eyes are the intense cyan leaning blue of Satoru Gojo from JJK.
Vasa, however has blackout sleeve tattoos with spiralling skin breaks and a blackout neck tattoo with linear skin breaks.

Austen is visible from the shoulders up. She has light skin and long dark hair cut in a side shave. She wears a red sleeveless turtleneck top and looks at the camera with a soft, neutral expression.

So I got the new CC corrections mod to deal with some of the colours being off, and I knew there could be some ohp moments when I loaded up the gang, but this happening to Vasa sent me 😂. Trials and tribulations of being an aesthetic lad.

Austen: Forced into the FL 'will they won't they' role. Leaves the first time the ML pulls a Ross type move. Vikki: Assigned manic pixie dream girl for B plot couple with "teehee misogyny" 2nd ML. Vasa: Basement-dwelling teenager or casual misogyny nerd, "goes to college" aka written out in S1.

From the archives [2023] Vasa would've captioned it 'hanging out w/ my dad', just to be a troll, if he were a V. Canonically I don't think he'd ever meet Takemura (who isn't his dad), and considers the Konpeki heist above his pay grade in stupidity (sorry Jackie😔).
