say hi to dyo (they prns) dante and vergil (both he prns) my beloveds. the three of them loosely based off of the wither and the warden from minecraft and the princess from slay the princess

EDIT i forgot. to include the chain on their arm ueueueueu.... just know they have one 🥹🥹🥹

some explanations + closeups under the cut

so like. firstly i feel like i shld clarify that dyos situation isnt like, DID or something, its simply that they have 2 souls in one. sort of like gemstone fusing in su (though i have never watched su myself so dont take that at face value) where garnet was a seperate thing from ruby and sapphire but also both of them stuck tgtr

sooo yeah. the two that make up dyos soul are dante and vergil (names r snatched from dantes inferno lmao), with dante being the gentler one and vergil being the harsher one.

dante is based off the wither from mc hence his hands and the left side of his/dyos face having wither roses / having been withered away, while vergil is based off the warden, hence the soul compartment in his/dyos chest cavity.

dante and vergils personalities (their backstory is too sort of based off of slay the princess; dyo is a prince trapped in a cabin and eventually rescued by their s/o) are taken from the damsel / adversary routes of stp: dante is softer and kinder (to the ones dyo trusts that is) while vergil is harsh and cold to everyone, putting up a wall of unavailability against people he deems as a threat to dyo/dante/himself

dyo themself is sort of like the prisoner (at the end of her route when she is brought outside). theyre cunning and know both how to use their words to settle fights and when to bring out a dagger to end it. but in general theyre just Some Guy to their friends. besides the two very destructive and terrifying entities that make them up dyo just wants to be a Normal Dude and i love them for that

the mask / gloves / turtleneck r all enchanted with spells to make sure none of the destructive aura from dante/vergil leak out and harm others btw

also they all have different ways to refer to people (this is because in my head i have a convoluted explanation that wardens trap souls the same way fae do/ through names, thus dyo beinghalf warden and vergil being . the Fucking Thing Making Them Part Warden kind of have a rule to not refer to ppl w their real names)

dyos s/o who i will eventually find a design for is referred to by them as angel, by vergil as saviour and by dante as songbird/their actual name (that i havent decided yet because i am a silly little guy)

anyway. yeah. stuff i had to get out or otherwise id go crazy

and closesups i almost forgot to include whoops

[exoplanedits]

so lucky to have you

When I saw @slocotion ‘s DYO Jester, I got so excited I had to join in! I just absolutely ADORE celestial things so I was so stoked to do this.

Say hello to Batrice! A mischievous little fellow that soars through the galaxy from time to time with their special little cape.

There’s a slight shimmer on all of their clothing, just like the sparkle and shine of the stars.

Some say that they’ve spotted Batrice resting and dangling from the moon. But it won’t be easy because it’s a rather rare sight, so keep your eyes peeled!

This is also my first time ever joining in on a contest, so I hope it’s not too shabby!

experimenting w the colours i want for dyo

(unfiltered) versions of dyo/dante/vergil under the cut <- in that order

key features:

dyos hair sparkles w flame like vergils does but they dont have the bright blue freckles, dantes hair doesnt really resemble flames at all but since i was too lazy to actually draw what his hair wld look like its like. just normal hair. bit fluffy but not gravity defying and the blue is less bright

dantes wither seeps through their mask more than dyos does and since vergil isnt a wither at all he doesnt get wither lol

technically speaking vergil isnt supposed to have the wither hands at all but i forgot to remove them and im way too lazy to edit it . also idk if it wld make sense but i am still workshopping this design so anything goes ig

and ofc eye colours point out who it is too

(freckles and wither r a lot more prominent in drawing but id imagine its duller and harder to spot face to face)

also for general colour scheme, still sticking to the mc origins, dyos skin is more brown grey than it is blue grey bc i think the wither skeletons r like. charred corpses and not um, buried corpses w mold and stuff (???? like w the warden. i dont think jm explaining this right but like. ya)
