Ekkochambers is the website of indie multimedia artist Ian/Iana Spencer. That's me! :P
And these are my sona characters:
My bat fursona Ekko (left) and my Seraphim voidsona (right). They are queer-patonic besties :3
I make weird, somewhat experimental art in mediums ranging across genre-abnostic music, indie video games, comics, short films, digital paintings (i use Krita and a small $40 huion tablet, if ur curious), animation and CG renders, etc
I'm in my mid 20s rn and starting to form an authentic identity for the first time, so it's kind of hard to describe exactly who I "am" at this stage of life, but I'm non-binary (genderfluid/maverick/maybe demigirl i guess idk), "dark grey" aro-ace (romance/sex is neat in fiction but i wouldn't wanna partake in it in any real way) and neurodivergent (ASD/ADHD). Other than that, in terms of idenity, artistic expression matters a lot to me, my politics are very progressive but less in a "moralistic" way and more in a materialist/humanist way (I think it's more important that we menaingfully stand up against intolerance and bigotry and that everyone's immdiate material needs are met, as opposed to fetishizing some vague idea of "accountablity" or virtue signal in a "performation shitlib" kind of way. I partook in that terminally online, Keyboard Warrior(TM) nonsense as a kid and I can tell you it's a waste of time, even when it's someone less braindead than Elongated Muskrat or the Sell Their Houses An Move guy doing it lol) I'm also kinda chubby (mainly because I take risperdole but I also do like food lol) which sounds like a small thing but I've learned to love my body so it's kinda become part of my identity. I don't think I'll ever rly like how I look w/ out makeup for gender dysphoria reasons, but I've come around that my fat belly is cute, and often draw characters (including my sonas) with larger/softer body types
I would describe my artistic projects as mixing very heady, high-level themes (often philosophical concepts like the diacotemy bewteen the abject evil and the deranged, pathetic flacidness of fascism, the faustian nature of capitalism and commerce as a qausi-religeon, the existentialism of losing - and having - bodily automony, the tyrannical hubris inherent to the Evangelical concept of God, the egotistically-identical but more unpredictable hubris of people ascending to and/or playing god with technology and unethical use of science beyond our current understandings and the consequences that follow, the farcical nature of blindly accepting social structures without scrutiny and the perverse incentive of propagating that willfulness to look the other way, and what we can do to fight back against that anti intellectual "see no evil" mindset, etc) with the aesthetics of things that are "cringe" and/or terminally online (furry and anime-inspired art, webcore, creepypasta, emo and punk aesthetics, gothic/industrial aesthetics, cyberdelia etc). I have a very eclectic mix of aesthetics that make up my unique style as an artist. A weird example: I had both a Rivethead goth phase and a seperate scenecore/emo phase as a kid, and then in early adulthood I got rly into Hyperpop and contemporary experimental stuff, so my music (both KILL KRYTPO! and my self titled project) is as influenced Crystal Castles and Combichrist as it is 100 Gecs and Sleeping With Sirens, and a bunch of other disperate artists lol
Of course, I'm not the only artist to blend arthouse-inspired introspection and satire with internet or fandom bullshit, and likewise underground artists like Ville Kallio, Fuming (the creator of Zelle), Mason Lindroth, Bryce Bucher (of 500 Caliber Contractz fame), Nelward, Machine Girl, etc are a huge inspiration for me as well!
