DID YOU KNOW: there’s only one boy character in our upcoming vn. This is not only for hashtagfeminism but also to keep the audience’s attention on yuri. True progress.

Pride month………. We don’t have any straight characters. Don’t need ‘em. Unclear whether they exist in universe. We have not established either way.

FOR THE RECORD you should not expect yaoi from us, as we are both tired of reading about guys and thus prefer writing girls. I aaalso don’t think we’ll be writing much with the *primary genre* of romance, but when it comes to romantic *subplots* we are primarily a proud YURI studio !!!

Trial, one of the characters from our upcoming vn, in apocalypse bird’s E.G.O. set. In canon she’s against ending the world- but in a place like lobotomy corporation, is there anything left to do but burn it all down? -Mira #visualnovel #lobotomycorporation #originalcharacter

A calico catgirl with star shaped spots wearing the “twilight” set of equipment from the game Lobotomy Corporation

Burn! From @saltwatercarousel.bsky.social upcoming VN! First time doing character modelling so still learning, but it was fun to make, and definitely want to make more characters in the future.

Jazz is also trans AND a lesbian. But this is not new. Jazz has also, due to lobotomy corporation related issues, decided honk hates clowns. Tragic.

Saltwater Carousel @saltwatercarousel.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Due to unfortunate lobotomy corporation incidents involving Selene and Lillie from our upcoming vn not moving when ordered to, Jazz hates trans people and lesbians now. Sorrgy. Accident. /j

A collaboration style test! Jazz did the sketch, then I followed up with lineart/color/shading. The character is Burn, one of the protagonists of our in-progress visual novel. This is her magical girl outfit :3 -Mira #visualnovel #indievn #originalcharacter #magicalgirl

A serval catgirl in a goth cowboy-style outfit drawn from a low perspective. She looks down at the viewer with one eye in shadow, and stands in front of a sunset with a harshly silhouetted horizon.

Jazz has been playing Lobcorp in call, with all the characters from our vn as nuggets. Trial was the one sent to work with all three birds (yes, they ended up with all three birds on its first run), so we decided that she has an affinity for them! -Mira

Curious about the character in our icon? This is our mascot, a sea otter named Taffy! Say hi to Taffy or else!

An icon of Taffy, a cyan sea otter. It has yellow eyes with stars in them, and a pearl necklace with a star as a charm.

A fullbody reference of Taffy the sea otter. Taffy, on top of the pearl neckwear, also has a dark cyan saddle, and a golden pole sticking through it, like you might see a horse on a carousel have.
