Remixing
Remixing (or 'mixing) is the art of altering, combining or editing pre-existing soyjak variants into original content. It is a quintisential aspect of 'jakking and has been practicised by soyteens ever since the dawn of soyhistory, originating with The Swede's creation of Soyak (a remix of Wojak).
Types of remixing
[edit | edit source](Note that a soyjak can exhibit multiple types of remixes at once)
Classic
[edit | edit source]A classic remix is the most common and basic variety of 'mixing. It includes recoloring or recontextualizing a variant to create original content. Most classic remixes are either references to characters in popular media or trends related to the sharty.
Popular examples:
- Colorjaks (color filled in randomly onto a 'jak)
- Gradientjaks (colorful gradients overlayayed onto a 'jak)
- Fruitjaks (stock images of fruit places on the heads of a 'jak)
- Squirreljak (Feraljak as a squirrel)
- Fishjak (Soyak as a fish)
Mashup
[edit | edit source]A mashup is an amalgamation of one or more soyjaks, recyling facial features (mouth, stubble, eyes, nose) to create something anew. A variant that borrows a feature from only one pre-existing soyjak is also classed as a mashup.
Popular examples:
- Hydrocephason (combines Hornyson's head and Science Lover's body)
- Branigger (reuses Brandon's head and face)
- All subvariants
Modification
[edit | edit source]A modification remix distorts, resizes, or draws new facial features onto a pre-existing soyjak.
Popular examples:
- Wholesome Soyjak (Different beard, mouth and tilted eyebrows from Gapejak)
- Doctos (Different expression from Soyak)
- Most subvariants
Trace
[edit | edit source]A trace remix is an illustration traced over a pre-existing image of a scene or person.
Popular examples:
- Chud with a flag or sword
