Ohh yeah, I never did make comment on this here on Twitter, did I?

Well, better late than never. Thank you for including Cue in this epic line-up! This has been a wonderful community to be a part of ^w^) 👍

HAPPY(very late) ANNIVERSARY TO THE GREATEST COMMUNITY IVE EVER BEEN APART OF!!!!!

The time I’ve spent in this wonderful fandom have been nothing short of spectacular to witness firsthand and seeing so many talented artist, writers, voice actors, or anyone in between sharing our love for this funny circus show will always hold something great in my heart that I don’t think we’ll leave for the rest of time. So thank you TADC and thank you to the people who made it thrive and prosperous!❤️

"Do you remember the day we first bonded, 'Buttons'?" 🎱 🎎 🎶

A piece I've been wanting to make for a while now, involving Cue's first real bonding moment with Ragatha.

Cue's Friend-Themed Attire Sketches

Haven't shared these here yet but I had sketched up Cue in outfits based on a handful of TADC OCs:

Based on Vynni (@snuffpuppyart), Puppette (@mr-bagel-dude-that-draws), Emmy (@raggstosketches), Eepy (@nixpainting) and Splottie (@studio-of-woof)

[spiketheguy]

Aww hell yeah >: D

Emmy As Friends doodles (Set 1) 🎀

Trying out a new chibi style- not sure how I’m feeling about it though.

Oh well.

(What’s this- another post today-?)

[spiketheguy]

I'm calling this done! Did Jax let loose a Centipede in Pomnis room aswell!??? 😂😂😂

Definitely a very challenging shot! TVpaint has some really nice line tools that can help speed up the clean-up stage, but its still a big task. I'm very pleased how this turned out. Pomnis very fun to animate I'll probably colour it in soon at some point, but I'm ready to move onto some other stuff. 😎

Enjoy! :D

If youre wondering about Commissions. Its gonna be postponed for a little while once i sort out some stuff on my end!

An update on Cue's reference with an added bio 🎱🔮🃏🎪

[spiketheguy]

This time around, it involves the lovely group of ADC OCs seen below, belonging to @raggstosketches, @mr-bagel-dude-that-draws, @AttanieTADC, @snuffpuppyart and @studio-of-woof respectively

Hope y'all like it ^^)b ✨

[spiketheguy]

One other thing before I call it a night; Cue's changes in design over the almost-year. Crazy how time flies, huh? '<'

[spiketheguy]

Been meaning to update Cue's relations with the others for a bit now, so may as well jump on this bandwagon while its convenient : D

Here's some Cue Relationships 🎱 (Sorry in advance if its a bit wordy ^^;)

[Edit of a Relationship template belonging to @ Crossing_56 on Twitter/X]

[spiketheguy]

S'more bonus stuff:

FACTS:

Despite their appearance, Cue's 'eyes' are a pair of glasses that he can take off to show his proper eyes.

He tends to keep at least one of his tarot cards attached to his hat. Humourously, it almost tends to be 'The Fool'

Cue gives out nicknames to the rest of the cast as a sign of trust (except with Jax who refers to him as 'Rabbit' anytime he's irritating by him);

His die eyes tend to float around on their own accord, leading him to look lazy-eyed most of the time; if at least one of his eyes (typically his red die eye) is focused on you, he's paying attention

Because he lacks a proper neck, Cue can (and often exploits) turn his head around 360 degrees in order to observe his surroundings without needing to physically turn.

Whenever he runs, he tends to carry his head beside him to avoid losing it

He will rest his head separately to his body when laying in bed

He has a pool floatie specifically for his head whenever he's swimming in the digital lake

QUOTES:

"Hiiiiiiii, hello there! My name is Cue!" (Addressing himself)

"Let's see if fortune smiles upon you.....or, it frowns up-on you....that last bit sounded better in my head." (During one of his fortune-telling sessions)

"If there's anything I am an expert on, is knowing absolutely nothing of value! Like a banker who deals in Monopoly money" (His attempt at being witty)

"I've been told that 'If I had my head on straight, I'd be dangerous.' But why would I WANT to be dangerous? I'm no shark!!" (Thinking back on something)

"EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND ZOOBLE FOR THEMSELVES!!" (Running away from a giant threat)

"Uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................." (Being asked a question more complex than 'Yes/No')

"I may be stupid......" (........yes)

"Oh brother, here's comes 'Rabbit' looking for trouble.... (Referring to Jax)

"It's harder to be nice than it is to be mean, but the payoff does wonders to your soul...." (Getting philosophical)

'The Amazing Digital Circus' OC:

🎪🔮🎱 'CUE' 🎱🔮🎪

(While I have shared him here a few times, I've not given him a proper introduction here. Allow me to fix that ^^;)

A long-time member of the Digital Circus, supposedly arriving after Kinger but before Ragatha, 'CUE' is a former human who, like the other human members, wounded up being trapped inside the virtual game after putting on a strange headset.

He comes off as a kind-hearted and often upbeat individual, albeit one who's not exactly the smartest person you could meet (or rather, in the words of Jax, he's "about as smart as a bag of rocks being thrown into the Atlantic Ocean")

Notably, Cue has a fascination with fortune-telling. He's almost never without his set of tarot cards lining his pockets, always ready to tell daily fortunes to his friends. Also, since it functions like a proper Magic 8-Ball, his head can off of his shoulders and be shaken about, exposing an answer to the plastic window on the back of his head. Outside of fortunes, Cue likes to read picture books and can play the accordion. 

Despite his predicament and the psychological tendencies of the others, Cue adapted fairly quickly to his so-called new home after arriving. Almost too well…..as unbeknownest to the others for the longest time, he had developed a desire to stay at the circus.

In his own words, his time at the circus lets him feel more like "a person who matters", and feels he's been in the virtual space for so long, he's unsure if he could ever go back to his life proper in the real world. He has also considered himself as something of an outcast in the real world, though his memories are fuzzy as to why...........Even still, he has still shown confliction about staying, as he knows that deep down, no matter how hard he can deny it or find unhealthy means to cope, he is still human...... Perhaps what he needs is a guiding hand to bring some proper sense into his head.....

In spite of his unintelligence and personal struggles however, Cue's strong perseverance keeps them going if it means he can be there for his friends. He's even known to personally check up on the others rather consistently during times of gloom, whether its hanging out with 'Checkmate' (Kinger) collecting bugs with him, helping 'Ribbons' (Gangle) fix her comedy mask or giving 'Buttons' (Ragatha) a chance to just get stuff off her chest when barely anybody else lets her.

So if nothing else, though his head may not always be on straight, his heart's in the right place.
