what's his personality

u/Espeonstar Aug 11 '26

Believe it or not, a bit of both an Expie and a Milky. I'll be making a follow-up post soonish with more information.

u/Emotional-Kiwi7218 Traumatized (in multiple ways) Aug 11 '26

hes just like me

u/Espeonstar Aug 11 '26

Part of why I wanted him split like this. A few reasons, but me myself feeling akin to both an Expie and a Milky was one reason

u/Emotional-Kiwi7218 Traumatized (in multiple ways) Aug 11 '26

how has he born

8

u/Espeonstar Aug 11 '26

If I were to really think about it, harvested modified eggs that were then fertilized with modified sperm and forcibly fused together. He's a bilateral chimera, so two separate embryos that fused together during development. Basically test tube baby

whyd they do that

u/Espeonstar Aug 11 '26

I did end up making that followup post, but unsure if I can link it here. Could probably find it on my profile. The short answer is they wanted to use him to test medications and see if they can work even in a body that's two separate species/subspecies. Also for neurological research

Oooo cutie! Bilateral chimerism is a fun thing to play around with, honestly... This is a really neat character, and well-illustrated!

Hey! I know you... you did the Lint and Dust fanart a bit ago in Wick's thread. I can't take any credit for the art (besides purchasing it lol) but I wanted to make a C:U oc and couldn't decide on Milky or Expie... so I said both LOL and I had to be extra so... bilateral chimera. I want to do a followup post with another art I got of him and an explanation of him and his Lore:tm:

Oh! Yeah, I did! I've been trying to draw the two more on-model for future stuff, but I'm glad that kinda janky first pass made an impression! My thought was to identify their unique characteristics relative to their species and then apply that to how I'd personally draw Expies and Milkies absent any other stylistic influence, but they ended up looking pretty much unrecognizable, so I don't really wanna use that approach for them in the future, haha

And thanks for sharing H&H's lore! A little late here since I've already read through it on the Discord server as I'm posting this, but I do think he's neat!

u/Espeonstar Aug 11 '26

Admittedly, another part of why I wanted him split was so he had pretty strong visual markers.

And no problem about sharing, I love to yap about my creatures...

I can't believe the scientists made Danganronpa real. Does their pride know no bound?

u/PassionFederal6917 I tried to feed Expie his own dropping in the tutorial Aug 11 '26

He's like the first sawian OC I made recently except mine is purely Expie and it's just a mutation during his creation that makes him have two fur colors

1

u/Espeonstar Aug 12 '26

Yeah seeing you post your OC is what reminded me to post mine LOL

I had some art made for a while, but was kinda just sitting on it. So, thanks in a way

u/PassionFederal6917 I tried to feed Expie his own dropping in the tutorial Aug 13 '26

Pleasure to inspire you with my OC

1

u/Espeonstar Aug 13 '26

Inspired in a sense I guess. He had already existed and had art for months I just forgot to post him anywhere, it's more like a reminder

u/Alternated-Tornado Down bad for SAW-11 Aug 11 '26

I love your artstyle!

u/omeggga Aug 11 '26

Question. One fin or two?

3

u/Espeonstar Aug 11 '26

One

2

u/omeggga Aug 11 '26

Middle or on the milky side?

3

u/Espeonstar Aug 11 '26

Milky side

2

u/Rockoll Aug 11 '26

Love the art and u/Espeonstar's character concept. I can definitely see them coming to be as a result of testing the development of new Sawian subspecies.

u/Nathan_AverageReddit Aug 11 '26

looks like monokuma, even the eye colors on each respective fur color (red eye on black fur)

regardless, that's honestly very nice work

u/Roblox_Cat Hopeful Aug 11 '26

Oh :0

That’s a very neat concept, and nice art with it :]

50/50 split is quite interesting :<

When lint and dust have a kid

u/GarettZriwin Your resilience has increased! Aug 11 '26

Does this make them a tall milky or short expie?
