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.

"It's... quiet here. I really like being close to you like this. Is it okay if we stay here a little longer?" A render of Mae Everhart, from Rebellious Takeover. Used some new VFX tricks for this. Loved how it turned out. Enjoy! :D #rebellioustakeover #gameart #3drender #gamedev #blender #vroid

Hey, so I need some help! I need some voice actors for small "blips" (literally less than a second of voice) for each character in Rebellious Takeover. Contact me if you're interested, and share this around if you can! Thank you! :) #indiedev #castingcall #gamedev #voiceacting #indie #va

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

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.

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.

8 characters on an active red background with a graffiti/painterly style all in a falling pose with the words "REBELLIOUS TAKEOVER" on the top left. The studio creating the game, "VecShift" is on the bottom left.

And that's a wrap (in terms of #VRoid progress)! Only showing close-ups of their faces because at the moment their outfits are incomplete, but I am proud to introduce Mae & Luca, the 7th and 8th new member of Rebellious Takeover!! :D I'm honestly proud of these two, being another milestone for me.

A grey character looking into the horizon of a forest/cliff landscape with coins on the right, and the game name "Goober Origins" on the left.

Thought i'd share this concept for a third level concept for my Platformer Project from College when I was creating my first ever Unreal Engine 5 game. I was actually getting good at pixel art and I kinda love that I pushed myself with this...

A pixelated and basic figure dashing away from a glitching taskbar on a computer with "OBJECTIVE: RUN" on the top right. A rendition of a stereotypical Blue Screen Of Death is in the background with the words "OH NO" as the message.
