Devius Ex Machina

Hi i made the new devius ex machina characters

You all need to see my booboobears or im blowing up everyone in this building

Say hello to Andie and Sam, created and designed by @statictigers.bsky.social . The website has been updated to replace the older version of this comic that had Boyfriend and Girlfriend.

[Devius Ex Machina] The second comic page. The top says "ELSEWHERE...". Andie (beanie, sleeveless jacket, long pants) and Sam (half-shaved hair, red crystal pendant, and boots) are sitting outside at a table talking while Andie is holding an ice cream cone. In the second panel, Bambi's thrown stick suddenly hits Andie on the head at terminal velocity with a loud "THWACK". Sam looks at him in surprise with an "oh shit" expression.

[Devius Ex Machina] A comic page. Bambi looks outside the window blinds of Dave's house in confusion. Bambi: What are you two doing Tristan: We're having a stick-throwing competition!!! Join us!!! Maldo: I'M CURRENTLY IN THE LEAD! Bambi approaches their pile of sticks, looks down at it, picks one up (annotated with "+1 stick"), and dramatically prepares himself to throw it while Tristan and Maldo look on in wonder. He yeets it at an immense speed as it flies past the clouds in the distance. Maldo: OH Maldo: OH MY GOODNESS Tristan (shaking Bambi by his "shoulders"): MR BAMBI THAT WAS SO COOL!!!!!

#DeviusExMachina - STICKS [Rerelease]. Who can throw them the furthest? (1/2)

Various doodles of Devius Ex Machina Dave and Tristan. In one doodle Dave is colored and wearing a steel-gray hoodie. In another doodle, he's sitting on the couch giving a noogie to Tristan, who says "Heeey!!". In a third sequence of drawings, Dave holds up three fingers to Tristan and says "Alright kiddo, remember rule 3?" Tristan excitedly replies "You won't be punished for breaking a rule if it's funny enough!" In the next panel, Dave crosses his arms and gives a blank stare while the kitchen behind him is covered in mustard. In the third panel, Tristan is slouching forward and frowning.

this au is still alive i promise #deviusexmachina #daveandbambi #doodle

Two doodles of Dave and Bambi from Vs. Dave and Bambi, one from the game and another from the AU Devius Ex Machina. Both have their respective Bambis perched on top of the back of Dave's wheelchair. For the former set, they are calm and balanced, with Bambi notated as being "perched like a bird" and Dave "trusts him". In the latter set, Bamb is very awkwardly crouching on top of it while Dave says, "...What the fuck?"

White Fixedsys text on black background: "Dave woke up. He gasped for air for a brief second, as though the wind had been knocked out of him. It took another few seconds for it to fully settle in his mind that none of what just happened was real. Probably. Sigh. Here we go again. He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes and forehead, the tiredness physically pulling down on him like gravity. Chello, unsurprisingly, was already awake and hopped back onto the bed to check on him. “Hey girlie,” He whispered. She padded up to his side and shoved her fuzzy head against his left hand, demanding to be scritched. He obeyed thoughtlessly as his mind wandered elsewhere. His chest was still burning, but not dangerously so. He focused his attention on his surroundings to untangle the anxious wires in his brain mussed up by his dream. It didn’t take long to hear what he was listening for - running water, utensils clacking against bowls, cabinets opening and closing. Yup. Bambi is cooking downstairs, as always at an hour like this. See? It’s fine. Lucky bastard doesn’t need to sleep. It was just one of many peculiar physiological attributes of his single-member species, and one that Dave greatly envied. Anytime he didn’t want to deal with dreams, or just keep working on what he was doing, Bambi simply could with no consequences. Regretfully, Dave had to sleep, whether he liked it or not, no matter what nightmares may come of it; it was something he had to accept and work with, because he had no choice in the matter when refusing to sleep would eventually lead to death. Dave flops back down onto the bed, arms outstretched, as he lets out his held breath. Chello mewed at the interruption and walked over his arm, then his chest. She flopped down onto her side."

"I’m okay,” he whispered. “It was just a dream.” “Mrrow.” “Yeah, I know.” “Mrrow...mrrp...” He smiled as he resumed scratching the top of her head. The weight of her little body on his chest as it rose and fell with his breathing was the only thing that could make him want to sleep on his back; otherwise, it felt unnatural. The fetal side position reigned king except when dethroned by the will to not disturb a loving pet made comfortable. Scaring them away? The highest form of treason... Bambi is okay. That dream definitely did not actually happen. As juvenile as that fear felt, he knew it wasn’t irrational. He had to be cautious any time a dream had anything to do with [DATA_EXPUNGED] , real or suspected - although the more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt that he took the P.R.A.E.M. drilling through the ground with any ounce of seriousness. If something like that had actually - let alone could actually - have happened, Bambi wouldn't be making food of all things. It's strange the things that seem so believable and logical in a dream immediately fall apart upon any waking inspection. Ah, well, good thing that stayed in his head - can’t be embarrassed by what you don’t tell people. The stre55 slowly 6egan to 2uell. There’s nothing to worry about w1th the P.R.A.E.M.. Noth1ng is ever 9o1ng to happen, because he made sure to put it to rest. There’s no 2uesti0n h3 saved their fu7 ure. Dave closed his eyes and listened to the menagerie of muffled sounds from the kitchen. Unfortunately he could never tell what Bambi was making, as he typically stayed up in his room out of an abundance of caution. Even convincing Bambi that he could cook here in the first place was an ordeal and a half, and his paranoia with food tampering on top of it had Dave keep his distance to inspire trust in his good will. It worked well enough for him to keep coming back, at least. It was a simple, yet comforting ambiance, knowing that someone else he knew was awake in the h…

"Point being, there was something soothing about hearing a friend do something mundane in your house. A sign you're not alone. He's never actually tried chatting with Bambi at these hours in person, but he didn't need to for it to help. It made what were often awful nights a little more bearable. Dave smiled, weakly. Things are different now, though. Before the whole mess with finding the P.R.A.E.M., Bambi never just stayed around the house in daylight hours outside of an agreed-upon activity, and that was only a few times a week at most. Now he’s just... here, all the time. Dave thought he would hate it, would barely survive it. Passive coexistence at night is a very different thing from daytime interaction, and they don't exactly get along all the time. But it actually hasn’t been that bad. Typical, getting dramatic over nothing. If anything, it’s actually made his life a little easier. Tristan has been overjoyed getting to spend more time with him, and it’s clearly improving his life having another adult figure around - he's more energetic than usual and constantly asks as soon as they wake up when Bambi is coming over. Strange and unpredictable as Bambi is, he’s certainly proven time and time again his devotion to the welfare of kids. It’s how this whole thing started, wasn’t it? ...this isn’t without its complications, either. It does make the future more... well, maybe it’ll be fine, actually. Maybe Bambi will just stick with Tristan long-term, if he does at all. That’d be good. That’s more likely, really. For once, somethiing c0uld mak3 Dave’s des7 iny a little better."

An unfinished illustration of Dave from the Devius Ex Machina AU surrounded by mechanisms on the PRAEM. He is sitting looking up at the viewer with a tense/frustrated scowl, as if cornered or trapped. A long mechanical thing is gripping and tugging at his left wrist.

I started this crazy illustration all the way back in October and still haven't finished it so Im just posting it as is. Was gonna be a high effort mechanical render with #DeviusExMachina dave, may or may not still get finished one day

#daveandbambi #wip

An uncolored one-page doodle comic for Devius Ex Machina, an AU of Vs. Dave and Bambi. In the first panel, Dave (having smoothed-over hair like his canon design and a t-shirt) is painting his son Tristan's nails golden-yellow, who is smiling. Maldo, a sapient robot, is sitting behind him looking at his "nails" with emotive stars around his head. In the next panel, Bambi appears and asks Tristan, "What is that." Tristan holds his hand out in front of him and replies, "Dad's painting our nails!! Wanna have yours done, too??" Bambi looks down at his hand and says, "I not have nails." A small arrow points to his hand with gray text saying "none...". Maldo, smiling with her eyes, holds her hand up to the viewer (with "nails" painted green) and says, "I DON'T HAVE NAILS, EITHER! BUT MINE CAN BE PAINTED!" "Oh. Okay," Bambi says. Dave, still painting Tristan's nails, asks (in Arial font) "What color would you like? We have gold, green, blue-" "Does it stay forever", Bambi interrupts. "...Uh, no? It's pretty easy to remove!" "Green." Later: Dave preparing to paint Bambi's fingers says, "Okay, hold still... I've never done this on bare skin." "Don't touch my hand," Bambi says with an aggravated expression. "...Uh... that's gonna make this harder, but alright..." He tries painting, holding one hand near but not making contact with Bambi's to stabilize himself. Bambi immediately recoils with a disgusted expression, the words "bad sensory" floating around his head. He swipes his hand away and yells "GGRHGHAAAAAAAAA STOP STOP BAD STOP". "G-GEEZ Sorry!!!" Dave says, startled, his font switching to Fixedsys. "AWFUL HATE IT NEVER DO THAT AGAIN".

A cropped teaser image of a panel from The Rekindled, showing Dave at a 3/4 angle looking annoyed/frustrated. He's wearing a pale light blue hoodie and black t-shirt, and is in a dark blue room holding up a black phone with its flashlight on in front of him. The yellow glow illuminates on his face and jacket slightly. He has black painted nails.
