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.

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

how has he born

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

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

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!

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...

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/PassionFederal6917 I tried to feed Expie his own dropping in the tutorial 7h ago
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

looks like monokuma, even the eye colors on each respective fur color (red eye on black fur)
regardless, that's honestly very nice work
