Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (37/60)

We must cancel Roxanne on Twitter for this bullshit.

And our baddie's name has been revealed in teensy tiny letters!

V1-RS

There was never gonna be a moment that this thing was gonna go 'hi, my name is V1-RS, What's yours?" and in the game, there's never much fanfare about the robots' names so I wasn't going to...

Chai unlocked stealth mode, so proud of him. ❤️
And the Announcer coming in clutch once again. I made him sound a little more gentle rather than hyped because... I think that's what Chai needed more.

Pity it might be too late! He was making quite the racket before. Although it doesn't look like our friend knows 2023-10-20 14:33:44 +0000 UTC View Post

What if they came back

I know you want to see them. So for a moment, let's pretend.

An alternate way the story could have gone between pages 33 and 34.

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (35/60)

Chai's subdued emotional response to what's happened to him may have let the events of the story come across as less grave than they really are. He was simply so laser-focused on fighting/fleeing, his brain never got a chance to catch up.
Now, however,... Now that he's trapped, unable to fight back and fully aware of what will happe...

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (34/56)

Last couple of pages we have been in danger of losing the tension we have been building. There must be... some way to get it back.

Oh, I know!

Skinwalkers.

The scariest (and my favorite) part of the comic, right on time for Spooktober! Impeccable timing, if I do say so myself!

One of the best parts of th...

Check out this extra bonus comic by Angel

This wonderful comic page can be viewed as a kind of 'deleted scene' or 'alternative scene' between pages 32 and 33. The full page can be viewed on the community tab! Please show your support for Angel's hard and beautiful work! Lots of cute 808s to be adored too!

A blue text bubble....could it be...

The falloff in interest in the comic is a bit dispiriting so comments are most certainly welcomed and appreciated! Thanks for reading!

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (32/56)

And we are back in action! Now with (hopefully) uninterrupted updates every Friday until we reach a specific point in the story. Then the comic will go on a short hiatus and you'll get the entire finale in a single +10 page update. I will miss the random updates, it was fun to drop pages out of nowhere at any given time. But this method is more ...

Mostly (h)Armless 808 ref

Unlike Chai, I didn't even attempt to keep 808 on model. For one, she's much easier and faster to draw like this, and for the other...I always thought there was a slightly uncanny element to her human-looking face in the game. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change the 808 we have for the world. She's cute and her design is very memorable, if in ...

When would you like to see weekly page updates?

Because I'm getting increasingly busy, I'm going to set a schedule for Patreon page releases like I have for the public ones. Until now I simply uploaded whenever I had a page ready. But that method won't work for me going forward since some weeks I can work on several pages and others none. This way you still are guaranteed frequent updates! 2023-09-14 13:56:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (31/56)

I kept telling myself I wasn't drawing more backgrounds and here I am, doing exactly that. Speaking of backgrounds, if you have a good memory of the level layout of the museum level, you will know exactly what's behind that glass. It's just up to Indiana Chai to not get pancaked. And he sure is getting tired.

Comments absolutely welcomed a...

Mostly (h)Armless Chai ref

The difference 20 minutes can make wew.

I've generally tried to stay on-model for Chai. With the exception being the length of his scarf and the color of his eyes. I used the sticker art to color pick and there he has more orange-ish irises. And speaking of the scarf, that thing has seen better days. I don't think it's gonna make it, lads....

Mostly (h)Armless timeline and BPM

I decided to time exactly how much time has passed in the comic since the start of the fight since it's difficult to visualize just how fast Chai was going at first. I think 280 BPM is the fastest his player will ever have gone. And yes, he spent almost a full minute underwater. Because water doesn't actually make for a soft landing and he got s...

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (30/?)

Chai you gotta stop doing that, I need you to last another 20 pages. I think I might have to draw some kind of reference sheet with all the stuff that's wrong with him and 808 because it's actually getting hard to keep track lol. 

Comments, as always, warmly welcomed and highly appreciated!

Also 30 page milestone! Yas! I include...

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (29/?)

And this is where the evening goes from great to phenomenal. Comments always warmly welcomed and deeply appreciated.

Have you ever seen one of those videos with those nasty ass parasites coming out of an insect after mind-controlling it, leaving behind an empty husk? No particular reason for me to mention that.

Forgot to save WIPs fo...

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (28/?)

Sweet baby Jesus this page was a lot. Comments certainly warmly welcomed and deeply appreciated.

I've really looked forward to drawing this sequence. When I think about why I made this comic, I point to pages like this, with Chai at every disadvantage and having already gotten a taste of what happens if he fails. It's as unfair as it gets....

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (27/?)

Eye for an eye.

Comments always welcomed and highly appreciated!

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (26/?)

I caved and made another page because I was getting too agitated from not working on the comic for so long.

Very little said but lots implied with this page. But the fact that KEM-N0 knows the most effective way of getting someone to say/do what you want is by threatening someone else should be cause for concern. (wooo foreshadowing wooo)<...

Look they're fine

First piece of bonus art!

Angel mentioned the idea of matching eyepads and I found that really cute so I decided to doodle this as a warm-up before my other work. 

I think if the gang were to show up in the next page, Chai would easily recover to his usual old self minus the lost eye and a permanent dislike for dark, suspicious-...

Hi-Fi Rush: Mostly (h)Armless page (25/?)

That’s gnarly alright. …You think this comic will work against me if I ever apply for a job at Tango? 

Anyway, it appears our friend can talk! And you know how it goes; if it’s got a voice, it’s got a motive. Could there possibly be a reason behind all this carnage? (ha-ha look at me, pretending to have a plot 2023-07-19 20:17:09 +0000 UTC View Post
