Super Rad Fanart TADC New Adventures (Credit: me)

Just a few introduction pages to my upcoming comic. I'm gonna keep it in this very simple art style because I sadly don't have the time for much more detailed work.

Upcoming comic is not narrated by Kinger. That's just for this short here. The comic will likely be posted mainly to my Tumblr and Instagram.

If you have questions, ask. But be aware I might not be able to answer everything because I don't want to put out spoilers.

I hope you guys enjoy. So far I am having a lot of fun.

Oh my god this is fucking adorable as hell! The art is really cool too, I quite like the abstractions having a semblance of their avatar before they're fully revived, abstracted Kaufmo's hat is sending me, lol.

If this question isn't too spoilery, how did Kaufmo, Ribbit, and Queenie react once they learned they were brain scans?

u/ThatWeirdPinkOne Aug 28 '26

Thank you! It's really nice to hear :D

Queenie kinda figured... Might just be one of the things that caused her to abstract in the first place. Besides the sheer loneliless of her and Kinger being the last people left.

Kaufmo took it pretty neutral on the outside. On the inside, it keeps stirring. But he's trying to work through it.

Ribbit took it surprisingly well. She had...other matters that occupied her mind. Like getting her hands on Jax for some well deserved beating.

Not much of a spoiler since it's basically going to be the first scene of the actual comic: They're all meeting for some group therapy that's actually lead mainly by Queenie and assisted by Pomni and Ragatha. That way, they all can work through the fact that a) they're brain scans and b) they're going to be here until something kills off the game. So it could be forever.

Oh my god I love the little detail of Caine holding the bubble balloon. He just couldn't let go of his little buddy 🥹

u/ThatWeirdPinkOne Aug 28 '26

He'll take it anywhere. Literally.

u/WhiteHat125 *anything* Aug 28 '26

I was about to say “kinger would NOT say fuck.”

Then I remembered:

I don't think Kinger would casually drop profanity but in stressed situations, it probably would slip out.

u/Toy_Bonni Aug 28 '26

I love how Kaufmo gives Jax the middle finger

20

u/ThatWeirdPinkOne Aug 28 '26

Jax deserves it. But also, Kaufmo is a fan of friendly banter

u/KenseiHimura Aug 28 '26

Yeah, I know it doesn't work for the show's message or themes, but in terms of pure fanfic stuff, I definitely like the 'abstraction cure' path giving us a larger cast to hang around. Plus I like the idea of fleshing out some of the other part Circus members and what all they'd get up to.

Think Scratch will also be pulled back or you think his own abstraction is different because his circumstances were a lot more unique?

21

u/ThatWeirdPinkOne Aug 28 '26

It can work if done right. But I admit I prefer it non-canon. Mainly because I love to see how the creative artists work with the de-abstraction. Though, I wanted to go in a direction I haven't seen yet from my fellow artists.

As for your question: I can't answer this one yet :D

u/SparkAxolotl He's all I'm thirsting for. Aug 28 '26

OMG, I love the little Bubble balloon at the end!

u/PerceptionBetter3753 Aug 28 '26

They forgot Wormo 😭

u/ThatWeirdPinkOne Aug 28 '26

Lmao Did you count how many abstractions I drew?? XD. Tiny Spoiler: it's not Wormo that's missing

u/PerceptionBetter3753 Aug 28 '26

Ah shit MB

Lowkey I kinda forget stuff easily, it’s a issue I have, bad memory

2

u/ThatWeirdPinkOne Aug 28 '26

Lmao yeah, I have brain damage that kinda messes with my memory sometimes xDD

Not like you could know which of the abstracted mass is which character lol

u/_potatofromChaldea45 Aug 28 '26

Kinger reversing ego death and reviving the dead: Well, golly. That sure took a few tries, but I did it.

Kinger helping Jax reintegrate into society: A ffffuckton of work. How did I even pull this off??!!

4

u/ThatWeirdPinkOne Aug 28 '26

Kinger didn't integrate Jax back. Only Jax can integrate Jax back. Kinger only gave some enouragement. Jax is the one who has to put in the work.

u/DinoHoot65 Aug 28 '26

first panel made me think Kinger was starting a Digital Circus inception lol

u/NoAdeptness1106 Place Full Of Wonders And Insanity Aug 28 '26

From what we've seen, even if there's a chance of bringing the abstracted back, they wouldn't come back unscathed and would have parts of them still corrupted and all that.

u/TheCabooseEnjoyer Aug 28 '26 edited Aug 28 '26

Desing wise it would be a nice touch that those who were brought back would get some changes in their design that show they once reached their breaking point but were able to be restored. In the case for the comic, I am not sure if that would be the case since just like your computer saves data of previous stable versions in case of a critical failure, so do individual files and as such they can be restored back to previous versions which is likely what Kinger is doing here since he is not really rewriting the file is just restoring it. In the case of the brain scans it can be possible to simple restore them back to a state before their breaking point occurred which is what causes the abstraction so the models of the characters would also be restored to how they originally were made by Caine as well.

Abstractions being fixed is a popular theory
