rpp with da Breads

[rolypolyphonic]

I am not in the habit of posting the things I make outside of my own website so I never know which of my illustrations to show. My main/only project is a worldbuilding project BreadAVOTA, and I don't really draw much of anything that isn't for it. I started it in 2020 and it's the only reason I picked up art as a regular (eh, -ish) hobby, and while I haven't been as productive as I'd like in those five years, I at least have drawn a handful of complete illustrations.

For November 1, 2025, the first anniversary of my website. Sorry, it's bitcrushed to hell and I just can't be arsed to replace it with a better version.

A relatively recent drawing of Bread, and all variations of the aforementioned (the titular character). BreadAVOTA is a sentient Doll who is actually a bunch of sentient Dolls combined into one. Shortcake is the 'main' Breadling and her body (brown hair) is the one they all share, but there are currently six conscious Breadlings who influence their decisions. Her goal is to change her name, supposedly as this is a step towards 'unity'.

From April 2021, the first actual rendered illustration made for the story.

The first rendered illustration intended to be a comic panel. The comics are usually monochromatic, so fully rendered panels are a rare treat.

An illustration for the minigames section on my own BBS/forum.

The Marginals, a fictional alien species from the story, described simply as 'alien computer ghosts'. They are meant to be DeviantArt OC's (real and not ironic), because the story itself is drawn from DeviantArt. Their lore is that when a Universe Dies, most of it gets 'recycled' into the next Universe, but one day the residue that doesn't make it gets coagulated by an AI and eventually leads to a new species, who come to the current Living Universe to speedrun its development in exchange for Memories to 'eat'. The story is metafictional and Universes are akin to OC universes/actual narratives, so a 'Marginal' is kind of like a Hetalia gijinka of the Universe they came from.

Each Marginal is drawn in its own drawing program to signify that they come from different Worlds, but for lore reasons they are still drawn in the same art style (Universes generally don't accept 'Outsiders' and the Living Universe will kick them out if they make themselves too 'obvious').

Costume designs for The Loveless and The Hateful, a standalone experimental erotic horror novella in the larger BreadAVOTA setting about these two guys getting stuck in some kind of liminal time loop and grappling with the way the Marginals changed their world the only way they can: toxic schizo4schizo yaoi.

Seven is my go-to number so I think seven pictures is more than enough. Okay actually here is one rare non-Bread that isn't really a rendered illustration and kind of bad but it's Homestuck fan art and Breads is basically a Homestuck fanventure so it is worth sharing:

Colpee. From Homstk. I know she never grew wrings, I just wanted to draw what I imagine a cherub could look like. Yippee Nuko end this poste.

no worries i think the bitcrust adds character 

honestly i think this first one is my favorite piece of yours, i love how you went the full mile with the gold frames, ribbon border, and the like and the vine+bread detailing in the top left, it feels so accurate to the period your trying to evoke i adore it!! you really get the sense of a grand epic about to be told. & all of the different doll designs look super cool! i think my fav is the one near the back with the shawl, i love the spooky slightly religious vibes of it.

all of these large illustrated pieces have such fun pallets! i love how tight they are, you can really get a sense of the over-all color tone in each piece. your non bread-standard narrative ideas also seem really cool!!! ngl im like mega excited to see you explore that horror novella i am an absolute sucker for time-loops. and i'm a sucker for toxic yaoi!!! not to mention the fashion looks killer

AND OMG CALLIOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love love LOVE how you re-interpreted her design!!!!! the fuckin like scientifically accurate dinosaur wings(?) are GIVING!!! she looks so scrunkly yet dapper. eldritch yet demure. tbh this should have been the canon cherub design this is great. tytytytyty for blessing this forum with your homestuck fanart ten thousand percent made my day.

Cool concepts :-) I love how detailed the background and embellishments are in your works. It really helps make everything feel cohesive and enveloped in the world.
