#HUGE MAN iood

[royalblanket]

I'm On Observation Duty 6 height chart using the models

In order: Patient, Lumberjack, Bruxsa, Crawler/DemonLady, Banshee, Marionette, Principal, Director/Doctor, Stalker/Nixie, !!!HUGE MAN!!!, Passenger More details under cut, along with other file search rambling

I was considering a theory where Patient and Lumberjack use the same model, like so many characters here do, but not only are they drastically different heights, they actually have completely different face and hand shapes (Patient on our left, LJ on our right)

I could only find the model patient uses with the gown, even though a full model of his body exists. Apparently his swollen eye is caused by a bone? Blendshape? These things dont come with bones so he looks like this

The ladies DO seem to use the same base model though. Marionette's funky because obviously her head is different but it seems they all at least share the same legs, and are basically the same height. With the exception for Banshee and Crawler, whos only difference is how Banshee DOESNT have legs. Also she has a braid bun. Just in case you drew her with a ponytail before seeing the reference. Not like I speak from experience

DemonLady is the unnamed, unhostile intruder who's face is seen in the hospital, and can be seen shaking in the university, pool and cottage. She and Crawler use the EXACT same model and dress. DemonLady just has a seperate mesh for her horns, and I believe is bald. Another name for her is SkinnyLady_demonic, just Crawlers filename with an extension

Also Crawler's models arent named normally, they're just "Body", "HairStrands" and "Dress", making her a nightmare to find Same nightmare could be said for Director, who doesn't use the name "Leatherjacketman" for his mesh and instead has the name "MadDoctor" exactly like the Doctor does. The only difference here is the file location and Director having a mesh for his jacket collar while Doctor has his hair

Stalker is the last duplicate model. Again, same name for both him and Nixie, "SkinnyMan". Nixie also has "FrogMesh" for their spine and webbed fingers/toes. FrogMesh is in this project actually, it's just on his back so you can't see it

Being the same model from older games, which have way harder filenames to understand than this one (Most words are in Finnish) !!!HUGE MAN!!! was also a bit tough to get every piece of. He uses a bunch of default filenames (Not only are his eyes high-polyMesh, not a real name, but theres TWO meshes with that name in sharedassets4, so it has to end in -732) and then "isomies" is his head and hands. If I spoke Finnish and knew iso mies just meant huge man maybe I would've found him faster but I didn't. Now, !!!HUGE MAN!!! may be huge, but now it's finally time for the TALLEST character in this game! (Mesh wise)

Passenger is a wild one because he's got a variant texture that's used in-game, but I'm so blind I thought it was unused

Ever notice he looks weird in the Drivers car? That's because he's clean. When he's seen in Sleeping and Dining he's covered in blood, his own and otherwise. While here he's got slightly paler skin that's pristine as ever

I have no idea what the point of this is, maybe he looked weird with the blood on that camera. I'm not proficient with modding so my efforts went nowhere but I'm sure a texture swap like this isn't too difficult for the more experienced (I've already seen people modding 1)

The thing is I'm not entirely wrong about "BigHeadManVariant" being unused because a part of it is

If you didn't see the difference before, you do now. Anyway, his variant has heterochromia, but the alternate eye texture is NOT seen when he's outside the windshield. But Passenger is my favorite and God I am OBSESSED with him having heterochromia so I went and fixed the UV maps on his eyes just to see it

His mouth UV was beyond saving, and also I think I missed a pixel on the eye. But for me this is better than nothing

Adorable 𝗅̶𝗂̶𝗍̶𝗍̶𝗅̶𝖾̶ freak of nature!

Tumblr fandom for this game seems dead as hell, but I've found no one who shares the same level of interest in this franchise, so I'll keep looking. I could rant about just the files alone for hours, if this post wasn't enough of an indicator of that

[observer-on-duty]

Hello. My name is Nanette Voss, but please call me Nancy. The Bureau refers to me as N-V, and my job is to record and handle dispatch for Anomalies when they're reported. I use all pronouns and I am AroAce.

I am the handler for HUGE MAN and the Director.

[monochromatictoad]

Hello it's the IoOD fan who's also a selfshipper again - please consider Huge Man picking you up and carrying you around wjdjfjsjjsjs

Thank you for your time

Huge Man and me irl, lol. (X)

I'm only 5'2" so like, he'll pick me up to help me with tall shelves or just to intimidate people for me (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Hiiiiii!!! Can I ask 💩, 💀 and 🌑 for your Huge Man pretty please? ~ @avid-adoxography

💩 : An embarrassing headcanon

In the realm that Huge Man comes from, I headcanon to having different pressure and gravity levels than in the human realm. So that makes Huge Man very top heavy, so he falls over. A lot. That is why his leg is always up on something when you encounter him, it helps his balance.

💀 : An injury headcanon

I'm still conflicted as to how injuries work for Intruder Anomalies. Because on one hand, we have Timothy who is almost always seen as a corpse Anomaly or as an intruder Anomaly, hell, in I'm on Observation Duty 3, we see him as a ghost anomaly playing chess with another anomaly. But only the ghost versions of him have no wounds, while other versions have the bullet hole in his head. So, I guess it just depends on what type Huge Man manifests as, but other than a couple of bruises here and there, I don't feel like Anomalies keep injuries, unless they gain them as humans. (Ex. Timothy.) You know, in saying this, in IoOD 1 & 2, we get secret endings involving Timothy, without the bullet, but definitely still Anomalous.

🌑 : A dark headcanon

Excessive exposure to Anomalous presence can make whatever they are exposed to, Anomalous as well. I'm gonna use Timothy as an example again. We know that he was exposed to Anomalies, being the head of the Bureau at the time. We also know that a mysterious woman was killed by Timothy, before he killed himself. We also know that Timothy is the only 'Human' you actually meet and talk to in game. (I'm not counting the conversation in the secret ending of IoOD 6, because we can't see the people talking.) But in each iteration we see of Timothy, we find that he became more and more Anomalous, until he is just One of the Anomalies. We also know that he's the reason Anomalies continue to appear. We also don't know where exactly Anomalies actually appear from. Now, I need to go through the Anomalies in IoOD 6, because the playthrough I watched did not have any Timothy Anomaly encounters, so I'll have to see if he's even in that one. (I also need to do some digging on the new Intruder Anomalies in that one.)

So excessive exposure to Huge Man could turn my S/I Anomalous. As far as what that entails for them, we'll just have to wait and find out ;��).

If I made a specifically I'm on Observation Duty blog... Would anyone potentially be interested?

It would mostly be like an ask blog, although I wouldn't do a lot of pictures, maybe a few picrews and screenshots/pics of the Anomalies.

Shipping w/ Huge Man is so real of you tbh. He loves u btw.

~ a fan of Observation Duty who is also a selfshipper

Thank you? That's so sweet! I'm crying?! I love meeting other I'm on Observation Duty fans, especially self-shippers!!!

Jskskdndkskdmndkxmdmd, I don't know if you Self-ship with anyone from IoOD, but I'm certain your f/os love you too!!!

Dr Jekyll and King Kong for whichever F/O!

I'll answer this with HUGE MAN.

Dr Jekyll- Does your F/O have any big aspirations?

Other than appearing on camera and taking out the security man? Not really. There isn't a lot of canon info about the Intruders in IoOD, but considering he's a rare intruder, I would say that he'd rather just be left alone. Maybe getting more muscular, if that was at all possible.

King Kong- Describe a time your F/O acted selflessly for you.

I can't even begin to explain how many times he's saved me from one of the more aggressive anomalies. The Bureau is ok with him, as long as I keep him contained. But for a specific time, it would probably be... The time I accidentally set off the Skinny Prince, and got chased through the school, before Huge Man saved me.

13-15 for the most recent ask meme! forrr... red or huge man maybe?

What about both 👀?

13.How do they express their feelings (Words, visual art, a song, etc.)?

Red is more visual art. He does possess an NES game after all. He'll make sure that the worlds in the game are safe for me or my s/i to travel around.

Huge Man is more physical. He likes to grab things off of shelves and also intimidates the coworkers of my s/i. He will also just pick them up and carry them places.

14.Where would they go on a 3am adventure?

Red doesn't follow the human concept of time, so if he was in the human realm, he'd probably walk around the city, looking for the next human he could torment.

Huge Man also doesn't follow the human concept of time, mostly because he just doesn't understand time. However, given that the IoOD games typically take place between the times of 12am-6am. So, he's attempting to kill observers in that time frame.

15.Who has a hobby only the other knows about?

Between Red and the s/i I have with him, Red. After all, how could my s/i tell people that they're interacting with a demon inside a NES cartridge?

Between Huge Man and my s/i, it would be s/i. They do cross-stitch, but they've only shown Huge Man.
