I tried making what I can with as limited functionality my old laptop can handle. Once I go over a certain amount of tracks Ableton’s CPU spikes hard lol

Didn’t expect chiaki to be in my top ten tbh

[gauge zero]
Lmk what you think
My favorite is Juche on the 2nd slide she’s so cool
Third slide on the bottom right is least favorite, need to re design her.

Im planning on working on a short Fanganronpa Manga, this is one of the Ultimates for said manga (favorite character so far). The manga will be called Danganronpa: Dingbats .S, and it will be set in the Appalachian Tennessee, with an all American cast. It asks a question no one wanted, what if Danganronpa mixed with the Saw series and was set in the south?

Lmk if your down with this unrendered demo design or not, feedback welcome. Also yes I know Cera is very visually much, but that’s just her personality, she is the ultimate special effects artist after all hehe.

wanted to start a nine inch nails inspired synth duo with my friend but he said he “can’t sing” whatever that means. That’s actually him on the cover. Made a album cover and everything, plus a whole song made with no vocals, but noooo “I have to learn how to sing first”. Anyways, like I said this album if it was real would be like NIN at their synthiest, maybe a little funky, maybe a little depeche-y, a little skinny puppy-y.

Also you guys think a young Trent Reznor would’ve been a good fan cast for a live action Kyrii? Aside from him being not Japanese lol.

This flag is for a Sci Fi Manga Im working on. Id like to get some feedback if this flag is good, bad, or just critiques on what can I improve. ***Reminder this flag is for the antagonists of this manga, so any references to fascism is not condoned, and are just simply used for the overarching story.

[background]:
This flag, [named, Visage Of The Knife] is for the mega Metropolitan/country called Tokyo Times Ten [or just Times Ten]. While not actually being located in Tokyo, with its boarders encompassing Hokkaido and the Okhotsk regions. This Country/ puppet government, takes place in the near future, somewhere around 2037-2071. In this future, the Okhostsk sea is frozen over, and is renamed to The Yukon, despite not being within actual Yukon Territory. The city/country itself is managed by an organization called The Knife, a secret society who controls and spy on its inhabitants. the population itself is mostly unaware of this organization.

[Meaning of the flag]:
black = Authority/ oppressive presence
White = (false) security
Red and blue = balance

The red/blue designs are to resemble eyes, representing surveillance.

The symbol in the middle is a seal, representing a mountain. A tall mountain or “knife” that cuts into the clouds. Kinda like in fascist ideology [not condoned], how 1 stick is weak but a bundle of sticks is strong, so is in this instance, 1 rock unimportant, but many rocks can build a mountain tall enough to cut the clouds to bring “rain for crops”. Other than that the mountain represents values of innovation and security.

As said the civilians are unaware of its true meaning, being oblivious to the entire organization that truly governs them. So none are suspicious, for these representations are not public.

[inspiration]:
The South Korean flag is the biggest inspo for this, at least visually. and weirdly enough, how I made the seal, i was inspired by the old Fuji bikes logo lol. The boarders on top and bottom I just kinda added for aesthetic purposes.

thoughts? what could i improve?

T10 [Tokyo Times Ten] is a central mega metropolis, for my sci-fi comic, Gauge Zero.

flag no. 1 - Visage of The Knife

The Knife is a secret society based in T10. The Knife primarily works as a shadow government, often having their hands in everything without the notice of the general public. The Knife purely exists in the public as a niche internet conspiracy, discussed on hidden civilian servers. the society mainly monopolizes the cities companies, experiments on the general public, surveils the public, interferes with private/public assets and trade, and enforces authoritarianism subliminally, and or through direct interference disguised as the actions of others.

meaning of colors: i was initially inspired by the flags of both north and south Korea for some reason, but overall the colors are supposed to give a false sense of balance and calm, and the domineering black represents control. the shapes around the emblem are also supposed to look like eyes. eyes = surveillance.

edit: i forgot to mention the actual emblem itself is inspired by Fuji bikes logo, which is a mountain. which you could say a mountain kind of represents a "Knife" cutting into the clouds, which could symbolize anything lol, maybe the mountain is just a symbol for strength and fortitude. Idk haven't thought about its representation too much other than that, its just a cool symbol.

Flag no. 2 - H.C.O.D. Kiken banner

H.C.O.D., Hazards Clean-up and Operations Division, is a privatized union made up of hazard specialists, owned distantly by The Knife. Not much lore on it as of now, other than the main characters enroll within it. and honestly i could end up using the symbol for something else cause i really like the symbol, but, HCOD was more important in the first iteration of this comics concept, and since then the comics overall concept has went under drastic changes, deeming HCOD less vial to the story.

meaning of colors: yellow = danger. Kiken 危険. there originally was gonna be a triangle with flat points and concaved sides holding the emblem, but I haven't been able to design it yet.

Flag no. 3 - Hurloch Empire: THIS concept is also very dependent on the later direction of the comic, but for now, the Hurloch Empire is a pseudo empire curated by a being named Olgg, or Peacekeeper Olgg, as The Knife titles him. the empire was entirely fabricated by Olgg, with him being a powerful outsider and a good manipulator, they had no reason suspect otherwise. now "Hurloch" is a term to classify anything pertaining to "eldritch" beings similar to Olgg, or relating to them. in the more expanisve canon/alt timeline, The Hurlochs are actually real galactic invaders. But, for this current canon I'm working on, they are a big phony operation for now

meaning of colors: they remind me of space, and the hurlochs are supposed to be outsiders so that kinda goes hand and hand i guess. honestly the least thought about flag on here.

LMK also if any of this lore interests you I have am unfinished very amature stream of consciousness written rough draft, with more lore if anyone's cares in viewing the google doc.
