I liked the Broppy picture so much I decided to give it it's own post! I was really experimental with shading for this one, and I have to say that I love how it turned out.

Just a doodle dump featuring some anatomy practice for different types of trolls, one of my oc's for Changing Tune, practice drawing Poppy because I had so much trouble with her for the longest time, and a nice little Broppy art.

They look so cool! I'll have to post my own redesigns soon too

Okay so if you're a deep-diver like me, you know that before World Tour, Cooper was classified as a Trollimal, an animal-like variant of a Troll. This was of course retconned and Cooper is and always has been a Funk Troll...

But what if Trollimals were still a thing?

Meet Dandy and Hooper, two Trollimals from the now defunct Trolls app 'Crazy Party Forest'.

Imagine if Trollimals were a race of Pop Trolls, something akin to a more mystical subspecies. So when Cooper was found, he looked like a Trollimal so they took him in as one.

So when Cooper meets Funk Trolls, they ask how he dealt with being the only one like him, only for him to be like "There's tons of trolls like me!"

This isn't canon to Rock Sibblings but it's a fun idea of how to keep Trollimals canon to the series.

Fun fact, Dandy and Hooper make appearances in my trolls AU Changing Tune! They're both Funk trolls so I changed a few minor things about their appearances to fit their species, and are childhood friends. I never really thought about the 'Pop sub-species' angle, I think I'd like to see that.

The final design for (some of) the main characters of Changing Tune, Queen Genie on the left, and her advisor/friend Bluebell on the right!

Genie was the first original character I made for this AU, and she has changed a lot in that time. She used to be silver with white wild hair that was held in a ponytail by a bright pink or yellow scrunchie (I could never decide), or I thought of making her yellow, in the end I decided on making her green with red hair.

Originally the story of Changing Tune was going to be about all the adults of the Pop tribe sending their children away on that last Trollstice and staying behind to distract the bergens. Genie was Peppy's niece (daughter of his sister) and therefore in charge of the children, as well as the one who would protect their string. In this AU having the string taken from them would turn all the adults grey and make them inedible.

I couldn't make that story idea work though, so it got thrown away. I may try to reuse elements of it in a different story, but Changing Tune will be going in a slightly different direction. The only similarity is that Genie is still Peppy's niece, but even then she isn't one by blood anymore, instead she's the daughter of his sister in law, not his sister by blood.

Here are some other references of her, they're pretty similar and I don't know where my first ever drawing of her is, but you can still see a few changes:

I decided to put her hair in a bun because I thought it gave her a more distinct silhouette (and for Lore reasons I can't mention yet), but the early concepts I had of her bun were both too hard to replicate, and felt too detailed for the style I was going for, so I changed it. Not only do the looping shapes make it easy to tell what kind of style the hair is in, but the heart shape is super cute! I also gave her those distinctive wavy fringe bits because I thought it would be cool to link Genie with her cousins, who both have fringes that they clearly got from their mother thanks to Peppy's lack of any fringe at all.

I picked the colour of her dress on a whim, because I felt like orange/yellow just went with her skin and hair, but I did change the style of the dress a few times. I knew I wanted something with short sleeves, and some pattern on it, but I couldn't decide on how that was supposed to look.

I honestly didn't put much thought into Bluebell's appearance, aside from her skin and hair colour, I didn't have any clear ideas of how I wanted her to look. In fact, the first drawing I did of her was only a few pages before this one, and she looks basically the same (I just realised I forgot their Hug-Time bracelets in the top pic). I did take a lot of her looks from things I saw people give Branch in their designs, like the fluff in her hair and the moles on her face, because she and Branch end up having a close relationship I thought it would be cute (he's not as isolated in this AU for many reasons, but he does still keep many of his survivalist and paranoid traits).

Here's the first sketch of her, an old and a young picture of her:

So yeah, I don't have much else to say about these two at the moment, but I'll be talking about them and other characters more later.

Welcome

Heya, I am Skele-girl999, or Skel for short. I made this blog because I wanted a place to post art and talk about my various fandom AUs, and my main blog is kind of just a dumping ground for my reblogs and random posts once in a blue moon. Seriously, aside from my failed attempt at Inktober in like 2020, there isn't much there worth looking at.

I have a near constant stream of fanfic and AU ideas for several fandoms constantly going through my head, and I am in several fandoms that I bounce between weekly. So, don't be surprised if I switch from Sonic to TMNT to Undertale in the span of a month or something. That's just how I be.

Every AU/fanfic has a tag which I'll list here in groups based on fandom as I post about them, so hopefully that makes it easier to navigate for everyone.
