if someone wants to squeeze in before Bobo that would be great

[Wei Ingnan]

guess not

Bobo?....you didn't forget about this again did you?

[Rose]

NO OF COURSE I DID

I'm still working on my Sweet Treats entry, so give me another couple of days. Please, someone jump in before me so Wei doesn't go extinct before I get a chance to mess with him!

[Wei Ingnan]

Had some great entires but we can't wait FOREVER for Bobo so I hope we can get some more people in the next few days

I was hoping to get more people in on this....but if we don't get any activity then this will be closed and I will move on

[Rose]

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm finishing up my entry for Nina and Justin's Sweet Treats zine, and on top of that I've got a killer deadline coming up at work this Monday (which I'm trying to get done by Friday so I'm not working over the weekend). If you have it in your heart to wait until Monday, I promise I will deliver by then, even if it's just a pencil sketch. I know evolution here on VOID happens too quickly to wait for overcommitted stragglers like me, but I'm on my way!!!

[Wei Ingnan]

promises promises

if I don't hear from anyone else(and I hope I do) I guess I will take another turn...and then if there is nothing else I guess we will just have to say goodbye to the misbegotten Wei

[Sean]

Count me in right now, I'll draw something tonight and upload by the morning, if not earlier.

[Gregly]

I'll go again...!

[Wei Ingnan]

so its been 4 days and no response from Sean despite his logging during the interim

Gregly yer up

[Gregly]

wei's larger than before and the bony protrusions in his arms and back grow bigger and begin to sprout from his head and the tentacles on his back. would do anything for a hot cuppa.

[Wei Ingnan]

good stuff gregly....nice shapes and simple lineforms....bit iffy on the hands

so those are horns?....I thought they were ears before I read description....and the tentacles have knife-like ends?....neat

anyone else want a go?

[Rose]

GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE I PROMISE I'LL DO IT THIS TIME.

[Sean]

Sorry for the major delay on that, but I went and did a thing after Gregly since I promised something.

This go around our dude loses all sense of modesty as his bones grow out of hand and he begins to lose hair and a sense of humanity. The parasite starts to grow under his skin slowly revealing itself as a whole new entity. His legs begin to shrink in size as his upper half takes on most of his body weight in holding himself up. His appetite is insatiable and he begins to pray on all living creatures. Mostly young children and babies, because they are tender.

[Rose]

We may have reached diverging evolutionary paths, because

Funny how Sean and I had the same idea about the parasite emerging from Wei's head. My branch follows pretty closely to Gregly's stage, with the major change being the emergence of the parasite from Wei's skull, which now lusts after the experiences of its host creature and seeks to control Wei's body completely. With Wei already losing control over his appetite and animal instincts, this second head with a second brain attached to the same body, although unfamiliar with the workings of the body's neural network, poses a formidable threat to the host's ability to remain in control at all. At times when the parasite takes control, Wei enters a near-unconscious to fully unconscious state; at most, he can make out blurry visions and incomprehensible sound bytes through the channels of the nervous system that the parasite is still trying to connect with. Since the parasite has no experience with the anatomy of the humanoid body, these stages of parasite control tend to be erratic, short-lived, and convulsive. As the parasite learns, however, Wei may be in danger of losing control completely to his parasite.

[Sean]

Great minds think alike haha

[Wei Ingnan]

no divergance...keep it going from last post....and no more jumping in outta turn or without a shout out so we don't have this again(even tho I am happy to see these entries)

and geez sean does it club it prey to death with its genitals?


anyone want next?

[Crimson Kumiho]

Just got a new tablet (haven't drawn anything digitally in ages), I guess I'll take next. Can't promise I'll have anything before tomorrow night though, working until midnight tonight and have to be back in to work by 645am tomorrow. And I have the flu! SCORE!

Edit: Promise it's coming. Doing that short shift was stupid and pretty much agitated the illness so I ended up worse off and unable to use my voice at all. Gonna shoot for tonight -- 50% done. Started having more fun with it so I didn't want to upload it. Was just gonna be a sketchy line drawing. Anyway, in the morn.

[Crimson Kumiho]

Got a bunch more I was gonna do but I'd end up never finishing that way so I'mma just submit it.
I may have already diverged a bit too far anyway so I should probably stop myself before I get any further carried away.



Having completely taken over Wei's systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive, etc.), the parasite has very little use of its host. Wei's head has become a superficial remnant of a body no longer his. The protruding spikes are beginning to form a shell and the tentacles function as tails for whippin.

[Wei Ingnan]

nice illo and design but yah you went WAY too far off the reservation....we are supposed to be taking the exisiting direction produced by the previous artists and SLOWLY moving forward(but I do like the shell and the tails)

I got next....I'm gonna use some of the elements from before AND this last image

anyone who wants next after me and so on....shout out

I will take forgiven but not forgotten. I don't expect my shame to be forgotten, but if it's forgiven I can at least move on! ;-;

[Crimson Kumiho]

Sorry about that. I had some more subtle designs but they all looked stupid (not the best excuse). May not have looked like such a leap if I stuck to lineart either, prolly would've looked a leap if I just shaded and colored Bobo's for that matter with all the contrast. I'll wait a couple turns (if there are any) and try again.

[Wei Ingnan]

not really anything to apologize for.....just meant to be a fun exercise with some conditions to follow....part of the challenge is working with the existing 'model' and tweaking it into somthing you like or find interesting....instead of always drawing 'your kinda stuff' all the time

.....practicing/contributing and taking part is important..you just pushed past the boundaries a little too much.....not a big deal

[Wei Ingnan]

alright...had some repeat computer issues that resulted in me being offline for a good while, complete meltdown and me getting a whole new system....and then setting all the software and hardware back up(still doing that)..hence the delay

but as promised



the parasite is now in the drivers seat and there is no 'external' indication of the man he once was

I tried to implement the majority of all the previous incarnations and still move forward a little...I am reasonably pleased but would love to hear any responses or criticisms

[Sean]

This is my favorite rendition so far. It incorporates everyones progression with small additions from you. I like that you made the parasite form all the way around his face kind of making it into a mask of sorts. I would think its time you made this dude into a character Wei.

[Rose]

I just gained a new level of respect for you, Wei. You did the perfect job of incorporating the wildly different iterations Sean, Crimson, and I posted without making any one of us feel unrepresented (speaking for myself, at least; but I think Sean and Crimson would agree). I'd love to see you ink and color this drawing if you have the time and resources to do so! (If not, I might just do it myself for fun if that's okay with you!)

I'm not going to commit to anything new until I've caught up with my existing projects, but I really hope someone picks this up and keeps it going, because this has been really fun to watch! (I think all future evolution jams should be based around a VOID member hahah!)
