so like i exist barely im not good with social medias

j @jakedravioli.neocities.org · 23/06/2026

So I worked with an friend of mine recently with the footage I got GENEROUSLY recorded by @caddicarus.bsky.social at #sunnycon 2026, and we have started creating the "AU version" of Spons that I intend to feature somewhere in Rebellious Takeover, Snops. Full video as soon as i've modelled it. :)

The text on this image shows "SNOPS - 'Hello! I'm legally distinct SNOPS!' - Spons (original) by Caddicarus" alongside at the bottom, several logos from vecShift (V), Rebellious Takeover and AU (Aunuto).

The image shows a concept back and front view of a unique character with detached head and hands connected by wires, in a kite shape with small stylized boots. The kite is metallic - And there is small graffiti on the back and front. The head has a beard and is wearing a cap with the words "SPONS" on it and a scouter-style visor with ":3" on it. On the behind there is a sticky note on the neck that has a crossed out "Kick me" replaced with "SPONS!" in red. The tail of the kite is a golden chain with a golden bar at the end of it that also reads "SPONS" but with the S's replaced with dollar signs.

To extend my last post, I actually improved Deren's look a lot! He's no longer looking a little scuffed (kinda, still got some work to do). Here's a showcase of what he looks like in a prototype version of Rebellious Takeover. #indie #indiedev #ue5 #unrealengine #unreal #3d #vrm #vroid #indiegame

once again went silent, jesus i'm bad at this whole "social media" thing. Anyways, I have this one Deren Overdrive render that I made recently that I can show. I'm ngl, it looks cool, but I made it in a rush for a college project. :( #vroid #blender #3dart #art #3drender #gamedev #indie #indiegame

j @jakedravioli.neocities.org · 18/08/2025

One final thing - Here's a desktop wallpaper for RT, featuring the poster boy himself, Deren! I'm going to be doing around 12 in total, and this is 1st. Make sure to check the RT landing page & blog for updates to when the full pack drops! #3dart #indiedev #wallpaper #art #gamedev #indie #vroid

j @jakedravioli.neocities.org · 18/08/2025

I've got a LOT to show today!! I made these a while ago but never shown it off - It's a concept design for Rebellious Takeover showing Deren's "Overclock/Overdrive" form, which is his ultimate that uses the "C.O.R.E" heart replacement he wields. #indiedev #indie #gamedev #concept #3dart #art

A powered up version of Deren Kael from Rebellious Takeover - Showing a brighter colour scheme in his hair, ears and tails - And a much more erratic and vibrant eye colour. The background has darkened - And there is text behind him saying things like "WARNING - LIMITER DISABLED - C.O.R.E OVERHEATING", "MELTDOWN IMMINENT - ESTIMATED REMAINING RUNTIME: 00:43", "NERVE SYSTEM NULLIFIED", "INTERNALS OVERHEATING - SURVIVAL RATE LOW", and "ERROR: SYSTEM OVERLOAD". At the bottom left is a signature-style watermark with the words "JDR", and a mask icon.

A normal variant of Deren Kael from Rebellious Takeover, in a menacing fighting taunt pose, intimidating the viewer to come closer. The background is a vibrant painterly/glitchy mix, and is vibrantly blue in colour.

At the bottom left is a signature-style watermark with the words "JDR", and a mask icon.

j @jakedravioli.neocities.org · 18/08/2025

Second ever promotional artwork for Rebellious Takeover. It's to be used on banners in places like here and on YouTube, alongside game platforms like GameJolt!! It's got a similar energy to the main one but only 2 characters. Should I make variants w/ each couple? 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #indie

A vibrant painterly background with two figures with cat-like features on the right and left with the words "REBELLIOUS TAKEOVER" in the top middle, and the watermark "vecShift Studios" on the bottom left.
