#I Have One Drawing of His Fanon Design Though

[mumpsetc]

airy pretty please

You Will Come Down Too Soon

[tyquu]

hi op! i love how your drew ezra, luke and mando in your style💗 i dont know if youve watched the ahsoka show but its been more than a decade since we've seen ezra bridger and when we see him again he grew his hair and beard out and even grew a lot taller! he's actually as tall as mando or han now there must have been something in that planet he was trapped in that made him shoot up 🤭

Gwahh thank you Anon! <33

I’ve seen two episodes of Ahsoka, I really need to finish it 😭 I’m just finding it a bit hard to to sit through atm. I’ve seen clips and stuff though so I have a pretty good idea of what happens!

I have seen bits of Eman as Ezra (he’s absolutely perfect for the role bwt! Love how he plays him!) and I can’t believe he’s so tall! Ezra was always a little shorter in my head (maybe like, 5,7 or something idk, however tall Hera is)

Cause I haven’t finished Ahsoka, whenever I’m drawing older Ezra I usually picture the sorta fanon interpretation I made up after watching rebels. I’m a die hard lover of Ezra joining the CDF temporarily. Thrawn and Ezra in Wild Space adventures the beloved. Maybe I’ll do a proper design for him one day.

Anyways, here’s two doodles of older Ezra cause I love him a lot and he’s my special guy.

"A CONSCIOUS BODY in VRChat", an Eclipse and Puppet Show (EAPS) fanon/non-canon episode based of father Ruin :D.

[SCRIPT]:

—Eclipse goes and talks to Ruin—about some junk in a room in his lab, so Ruin agrees to go with Eclipse (who has been rambling about the entire walk).

•Ruin now knows that Eclipse has made but scrapped several redesigns of Stitchwraith; some are finished but left, and some dont even get a chance to get wires installed.

•Eclipse tells Ruin that, if he ever needed any materials, he can just go here and take apart the scrapped designs. (It wasnt a bad idea for the most part hence why Ruin agreed.)

–In the storage room (maybe the right word?), Ruin would hear a small "wrr..." sound atop of Eclipse's voice. When he investigates, he sees its coming from a Sun Eclipse model.

•"Are you certain this is an Eclipse model?" — "It looking like Sun is the exact reason why I left it."

•In Ruin's hands, it springs to life! Though Eclipse swears up and down that it should not be possible—the guy didnt even have his systems prepared yet, so how can he function like its nothing?!!

—Ruin and Eclipse talk about on what to do with it—them–him?

•Ruin was about to suggest that Eclipse should care for the new soul (considering he does have three kids), but sees how tired Eclipse already seemed (considering he does have three kids...), so Ruin decided to care for the little fellow because he wanted to; hes always wanted to care for a child again, even the Moon part of him out of pity.

+[fun fact] Ruin calls his new child by several names ("small one", "little one", "kiddo", "bud", etc.) during the first week of caring for him, but decided that wouldn't work well. He eventually decides on the name "Comet" for no apparent reason, but continues to use nicknames (aka he calls him "Comi" way more often).

BONUS: [RUIN'S LOOKS GUIDE] (suppose to be a seperate post, but I figured it'll be better in the same post since it'll help understand why Ruin's face looks like that)

Characters like Ruin are pretty fun to draw since I try to be as expressive with all the characters I draw as much as possible.

So when I couldnt draw his other eye correctly for the life of me in my last Ruin post, I decided: "yk what screw it." and implemented a headcanon (happens way more often than it should)

Since Ruin is a combination of his Sun and Moon, I hc that there are times when only one of them is active/more active than the other. Of course, Eclipse is mostly active, but Moon can surprisingly be more active than Sun (aka Sun doesnt go as active as the others like he used to be).

(I will be deciding on the reason why Comet came to life since I have several thoughts about how. Depending on what I land on is how much angst I can put in his lore >:D.)

tell me your Ink headcanons NOW 😼😼😼

You're... giving me permission.... to share my ink headcanons.

well get ready

Talked about this one already but I'll share it again: I think Broomie is semi sentient. I like to think at first Ink didn't know that though, but still talked to broomie anyway. So, regardless of this fact Ink probably would've talked to broomie.

He's good at encouraging people but not comforting people. If that makes sense? (projection much pfttt)

If you ran your hand over the "tattoo" marks it have a slight divot in it. Like a crack in a road. Probably because... in my hc they're literally semi healed cracks.

They're is talented in many types of art not just one. Hes talented in singing, dancing, fashion design, mechanics, and architecture! Really the only one he struggles with is well... cooking. Do NOT let that man in a kitchen (I mean he's immortal why would he not learn multiple artistic skills?)

Y'know how canon!swap climbs on people because hes insecure about his height? I think Ink does the same thing.

(More yappening under the cut)

Deep down he feels like something is missing... what he doesn't know is he's missing his home, his AU. Sometimes hes goes on a search universe to universe in search of "something important he can't remember" but can never find it. Until he gets bored, forgets what he's doing or gets preoccupied with something else.

He likes switching up his looks so he may give himself a tail or paws or claws with his brush. Maybe he even changes the color of his limbs sometimes (that's more a crack hc though). He gives themself a new outfit at any chance he can get. (Edit: I actually imagine one of the reasons he would get excited for multiverseal events is mainly because he gets to show off a new outfit for that event. He goes ALL out)

Due to his dulled sense of pain often he isn't aware he's injured unless it's pretty severe. So he may just go about their day with injuries they don't know about. Typically Dream or Swap have to be like "dude you have a crack in your skull."

After that one comic with Swap and Ink, Swap bandaged up his skull despite Ink insisting he didn't need it. Mainly because Swap didn't know Ink could heal themself and just thought Ink was being humble. Everytime he went to go take it off, Swap would freak about it hasn't had enough time to heal. Until Ink did a more through "I have a brush bro chill" (not ink accurate dialogue).

He's super flexible!! like contortionist level of flexibility.

Oddly specific but I think they're the type to consume all sorts of fan content and enjoy it. Completely ooc and fanon stuff too. He would be the type to read a fic and go "I would NOT say that" with a giggle and write a heartfelt comment anyway.

If you know homestuck... Nepeta has a shipping wall. I think Ink would have something similar (projection?? blasphemy!). Maybe in his sketchbook or smth. I mean do you see how he reacts around his dads smh 😔😮‍💨. He doesn't take it all that seriously though... LMAO. But I feel like he would be like "🏳️‍🌈?" y'know? Is this making any sense? I hope LMAOOO

Ink knows being called "child" annoys Dream so when Dream's like "I'm not a child I'm 500 years old" he just uses different synonyms of kid " heya youngster" " hi boy" stuff like that to annoy him. Just to mess with him.

He loves "aggressive affection." Like he bites people. He also likes to be bitten (not in a sus way but like in a cat like way). He loves bear hugs. Stuff like that.

He loves being drawn on, like literally. He loves the sensation of art supplies on his bones. Particularly the texture of paint and pencil are the ones he enjoys the most. He draws designs and stuff on his bones sometimes.

He has that cartoon ability to walk on walls or the ceiling and completely defy gravity. How? Cartoon skelly powers ig.

[simpsonanddelilah]

Posting before I head to work today, been snowing a lot this past weekend and it's bee nice, I hope to draw something snow related when I get home, probably after I call my wife

Here are some refs though!!! Most are ocs, (welcome Piper btw, she's a little cutesy assassin girl for Costas Becker) Mikey got a total over haul, I'm not sure if I've talked abt Mikey all that much, but he's a great loyal assistant with the worst anger issues for my wife's oc Devon who's an annoying rich boy who's perfect in every way, both comically and frustratingly so. Besides that we've got Mars who will be getting an additional reference too which will feature him and his mobility aid, a walker.

Then just Tawny and Romeo got her refs bc I felt the old ones were very plain and boring and badly drawn. So they got upgrades!!! and Lastly is a small headcanon design for Mrs. Witherball, who I've named Adelaide :0)) (only her last name was ever said in the show)

That's all I have for now, but I'm hoping to make more art soon, I have a few more refs to get done and I wanna remake all of my headcanon designs (at least the first ones i made bc they look SO BAD!!!!!) but i also am writing a post abt my Simpsons AU and Fanon!!!! I wanna finish it by this week!! But we'll see as always :0))

[derangedanomaly]

Guyyss, y'all have no idea how happy I actually am to know that y'all like my AU of Nightmare having a clone. I haven't felt this hyper in forever! I also REALLY enjoy doing anything about my favorite boy Chaos, so I decided to write some interesting Facts about my AU!

Enjoy lmao

Masterlist

CHAOS FACTS

His design differences between Nightmare:

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I draw Nightmares tentacles purposely more flowy and droopy than Chaos'.

Chaos almost always has his tentacles lowered down, because he doesn't want to accidentally hurt anyone, but the only time he always has them up, is when he's near Nightmare, to look bigger and assert dominance.

Chaos' tentacles sometimes makes him look like he has horns.

While Nightmare feeds off of negative feelings, Chaos feeds off of Nightmares misery. SPECIFICALLY Nightmares. And whenever he does feed off of his misery, a purple smoke surrounds him.

When Diana accidentally copied Nightmares code, she wanted to use the delete button. She was afraid of what two Nightmares could do to the multiverse. But her worries flew out the window when she saw how friendly Chaos is, apart from Nightmare.

You could almost say that Chaos could be a better villain than Nightmare, because Chaos is willing to actually do anything just to earn someone's trust. And he could take advantage of that too, but thanks to Diana's code, he won't do that.

Chaos is practically the only worst punishment that Nightmare could receive, because the only one that can get on Nightmares nerves, is himself.

Chaos doesn't have a passive form, because he's only the copy of Nightmares code. Meaning he probably doesn't even know who Passive is.

The only reason he wants to ruin Nightmares reputation so much, is solely because he gets a kick out of it. It's also strangely written in his code- Diana thought it would be funny and entertaining to see two Nightmares fighting each other.

Nightmare could engage in a pretty violent battle with Chaos if he truly got pissed off- but he doesn't do that, only because Chaos is practically him. Chaos is pretty much on the same level of power as Nightmare. Which probably makes him the only appropriate opponent to Nightmare.

Killer often call NM and Chaos "twins". This earns an amused chuckle from Chaos and an angry Nightmare.

Chaos is partly supposed to represent how fanon Nightmare sometimes acts, apart from the canon one.

Chaos doesn't have a soul, since he technically doesn't exist, his whole body is made off of copies of Nightmares code, this doesn't include his soul.

The only people who know about Diana's existence are Ink, Error and Chaos. Diana doesn't feel the need to show herself to anyone often, so she just doesn't do it.

Ink and Diana are actually pretty good friends, though Diana denies any sort of friendship between the two.

Diana, Ink and Error, are like the three horseman of creation. Error is the destruction, Ink is the creation, and Diana is the rebirth. (Since Diana can copy anyone's code, she can technically bring out the dead. But this of course also has consequences.)

Diana's belt has eyes that follow whoever she's talking to.

Diana is supposed to represent a higher intelligent form. That's why she wears more 'angelic-like' clothes.

Chaos views Diana like his mother.

I'm sorry If these facts don't interest you! I just fell in love with my own Au 😭

[alfredojesta]

Could you please draw Corpse?....I'd really like to see how it is :)

ABSOLUTELY! my drawing tablet isn't working rn but i have some quick ibis doodles (i never had a real ref sheet of her because i created her as a joke before she became an actual character)

thank you so much for the ask AHHH it means a lot that anyone would wanna know more about my silly fanon kid 😭‼️

here's some extra info i've typed up if that's anything (small comic at the end):

CORPSE is 15! she's a doll built by Jason. both Candy Pop and Jason designed her. Pop made the concept art on his own, but Jason tweaked it because... he's Jason? duh? in order to bring the creation to life, a soul was infused with it—also how Jason created Mr. Glutton, Liquorice and Red Mouse.

being a doll, she ages with models rather than yk. normal biology. so she has different models for different age groups. Jason and Candy Pop agreed to create her at the age of 6 because they didn't want to deal with a whiny baby! ^_^ therefore, she has multiple models (6-8, 10-12, and so on).

to differentiate them Candy Pop is called Pops! and Jason is just Father. there's plentiful lore in this AU. the timeline's fucking whack but i can't explain that here because it'd be too long so i'll describe Corpse real quick—

Corpse's personality is versatile. on one hand, it's respectful and polite. she speaks formally—thanks to Jason's influence—and tends to be a listener more than a talker. she's outgoing, but unfortunately a people-pleaser. Corpse has a tendency for holding back her emotions. a fear of upsetting others. Candy Pop advises her to not bottle up her feelings. and sure—she was more expressive when she was younger! but at 15, it has come to a point where she's only ever open with her bestfriend and parents. her insecurity also derives from the fact she's a doll. Corpse has never felt like she fits in with anyone else.

doesn't mean she's not fun, though. being the daughter of a silly jester means she's got some humour of her own. Corpse can yap for hours... she just prefers to listen and nod... but if a mic is handed to her... yeah that girl can TALK.

ANYWAY LIKE I SAID BEFORE SHE'S ALSO ANXIOUS AND BECOMES OVERWHELMED QUICKLY ESPECIALLY IF THINGS ARE TOO BUSY. THAT'S JUST BECAUSE JASON AND CANDY POP ARGUE SOMETIMES AND SHE GETS SCARED LOLLL there's no violence and there's no fighting. those two just bicker over. their opposing parenting styles. and then they make up after some DISCUSSION.

besides, jason and candy pop are two really emotional people and that can get the better of them if they aren't careful.

so yeah... if you made it this far here's a bonus comic of 10 yr old corpse and jason :) for context: corpse comes to the mansion sometimes while jason works. panda/pandora is corpse's niece. another fanon kid... belongs to nathan and ciara.

[prince-liest]

IIRC, Alastor was specifically retconned to having Creole/African heritage after concerns were raised over Vodou being a closed practice/religion; he was always intended to practice Vodou, and still uses their religious symbols in the show.

The only official art of human Alastor we have was done BEFORE that retcon, uncolored, but he looks white- which is why fandom usually chooses to interpret that as him being white passing. That's how little thought was put into his backstory as of the pilot.

I've seen fanfics incorporate Vodou tastefully into Alastor's character and background, though- those usually go along the lines that his mother practiced it, but she worked mainly in positive aspects, like healing, protection, and divination (which is what REAL Vodou was commonly used for). There's this one Radiostatic fic that theorizes Alastor's shadow dolls might actually be zombis, lost/dead souls that have been captured by a sorcerer and turned into servants in Vodou folklore.

AH, okay, this makes sense! I love that take on his backstory. And the whole situation also really highlights something else that I have issues with with Hazbin, which is that so much of the background information is just plain not in the show (and oftentimes not in any place where I would even know to find it, at least not as a trustworthy source). I actually didn't even truly know 100% that the common human Alastor design that I see around a lot was based on an official art. I assumed it probably was just from how widespread it is, but I've never seen it, so I wondered if it was also just a fanon that got popular...

But I fully agree with you that I strongly suspect it came into creation with the assumption on Viv's part that Alastor was white. Not because mixed people who look like that don't exist (and boy can that be a trial in and of itself, when people are judging whether or not you look too white), but because the general way that the whole thing went down and Viv as a person make me suspect her default mindset for character design when she was creating her oldest character was indeed 'white.'

I do at least personally really like how a lot of the community has taken to addressing that, both in terms of drawing variations on his design, and in tackling the subject from the perspective of the complexity of being a mixed man in 1920s America and what role being white-passing (or not, or working to try to be) played in Alastor's life.

I'm not Black myself and I don't really have room to speak about this in a great deal of depth, but at least in the circles I've been kicking around in, I've seen a lot of love and effort poured into thoughtfully fleshing out this character's portrayal (especially by people of color), and it makes me happy to see.

[eliyips]

HOW DO YOU MAKE X SO FRIENDSHAPED?!

But also genuinely curious about the design translation from the actual skins to your interpretations due to the small but mighty details added in

Infodump as hard as you want!

If i ever pass up an opportunity to talk about my X design, it will be because I am either dead, or dying!!! neither are true at time of posting, so here you go! I will be going over my ENTIRE design process for Xisuma, starting with my initial design:

My initial design for Xisuma wasn't anything special, in my opinion. Most of what I included was directly ripped from the classic Doomslayer. Though, the face scars were inherited from fanon, of course. :) The changes that I did make were in service of having things make more sense for Xisuma. Namely, the belt buckle, and the fabric covering the arms...

The belt buckle is simple - bullets didn't really make sense as a design motif, all considered - but the fabric is more complicated. I have a couple different ideas about why Xisuma wears the suit, but I haven't settled one way or the other on some of the specifics, so forgive me if I'm a bit vague. Ultimately, It is just my impression that X is not comfortable having his body visible more than it needs to be, whether that be for health-related reasons or for personal/emotional reasons. I don't intend to ever draw Xisuma with his helmet off, because of that. To me, it feels like a violation of boundaries. To be perfectly clear though, that's just for me - more power to other artists who draw him without the helmet/armor! :)

By the time I was full-on fixated on Xisuma, I realized I was unsatisfied with this first pass at his design. Mainly, in regards to the helmet. So I did more work on it!

I feel like my re-design process for the helmet is a good example of the importance of using reference. :) I did a lot of unsatisfactory sketches before pulling up pictures of real helmets, at which point I feel like I settled on something I was happy with very quickly.

Specifically, I referenced motocross helmets! My choice of reference was mostly driven by my passing interest in sports equipment design, though motocross helmets are similarly bulky and have the same distinct mouthpiece as X's helmet, so I think it was a good choice. I also feel like the pixels at the top of Xisuma's skin can be pretty easily read as the brim of a helmet, so it works out!

Other than the motocross helmet influence, I also made the choice to add tubing to the sides and back of the helmet. This rolls with my headcanons about the purpose of the helmet, connecting to air tanks on his back! I also think it helps to distinguish him from the doomslayer, in addition to the new helmet shape.

The only other changes I made were to the helmet's palette, added a few additional grey tones for contrast, and the positioning of his scars. I decided I wanted them to be a little off-center, leaning towards his left eye. I'm pretty inconsistent with how I draw the scars though, lol, so it changed again by the next time I drew him.

At this point my design is mostly settled for him, and I don't expect it to change very significantly any time soon. I don't have much else to say about it, but I listed the other iterative changes I made to the design above! I figure I will continue making small tweaks to his design every time I draw him :)

That said... I have yet to answer your initial question! So I will answer it now:

"HOW DO YOU MAKE X SO FRIENDSHAPED?!"

My answer is that it's (almost) all in the eyes!!! I have already talked pretty extensively about Xisuma's eyes. So I won't dwell for too long! In short, human facial recognition is very closely tied to the eyes. The ability to see the eyes of a character clearly affords you a lot of flexibility when it comes to making a design seem approachable, or "friend-shaped." I painted over a screenshot of doomguy to illustrate my point!

My drawings tend towards being a little cutesy, of course, so that helps :) but you can see that the bright, saturated color, big distinct eyes, and less harsh expression all contribute to making him seem like he is less of a threat, despite this literally just being the doomslayer.

Another thing that helps is, again, related to the style I draw in. My art is very "clean" looking, not gritty. I use a lot of soft shape language and don't texture things too heavily. With Xisuma specifically, I also make no effort to make him seem intimidating. I use very neutral angles when drawing him, I don't frame him in a way that makes him seem intimidating or imposing, I don't pose him too confidently or angrily. Because he's not that kind of guy! Though it would be an interesting challenge to try and make him look as intimidating as possible :) I certainly think he could be quite scary, if he wanted to be. Just a matter of what I'm trying to convey.

... I think that's all I have to say for now! Once again, blown away by all the nice things people have to say about my Xisuma design and my art. Everyone here has been so kind and encouraging, and I really appreciate that. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to yell about Xisuma! If you have follow up questions, by all means, I am ready to answer :)

✭ Phoenix Wright ✭

Today I drew a Phoenix and I think I'm slowly but surely getting better at drawing him and enjoyed drawing this, especially his full body pose :3. I also found myself appreciating his AA5/6 suit design a lot more but still changed some details, like making the buttons on his vest pink to match his tie and making the vest light blue like it looks like it is in AA5 was was changed to white for AA6 which kinda makes me mad cuz a white vest on a white shirt!? WHY!? I think the white vest bothers me more than him suddenly getting blue eyes, though I think that opinion heavy influenced by fanon Phoenix having heterochromia, presumably because of the AA6 official art (cuz his model in AA6 still has dark grey eyes!? and they did the same with Maya, why???).

Now for some Phoenix hcs I have:

After much consideration I've decided I personally subscribe to Phoenix's being a Theatre art major however, I still hc him as being good at painting and I like to think he helped paint a lot of the sets and props.

He is also massive art snob, to the point Miles refuses to go to art galleries with him, otherwise he'll deal with Phoenix loudly criticizing each and every art work.

He's an only child and was raised by his Mom. His Dad and her divorced when he was a Toddler so he doesn't remember him. His last name is from his Mom.

he got his phone in 2008 as a teen (it was his first phone) and never upgraded it until 20 years later when it finally died. Trucy, Miles, Larry and Maya all bullied him into getting a smart phone.

He has ADHD but wasn't aware until Athena one day made an off hand comment towards him with the assumption her boss was diagnosed.

I also hc him as bi, cuz why no ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[cervidaecorpse]

Since knowing about the ancestors I wanted to compare them for myself with colour and design.

I always take the colours from official sources (ref sheets or screenshots from the show itself). In that sense, both have different shades of roughly the same colours.

(Then again, the ref sheets I have for Phaser and Tremolo are very shaded, so no colour is always the same, though I do have my favourite spots to take samples from, lol. Added onto Korasu's and Fazu's ref sheets are very limiting (but not shaded). TuT)

I don't need to say that much about the design, since how I draw them is not canon compliant and I don't want it to be, lol.

Somehow, Fazu's hair ended up curlier and more deviant than Tremolo's. Maybe my talk with Moonie had some play in this, as we both theorised that he could be the father of both Phaser and Tremolo, with Korasu being a good uncle. The spiky, unruly sea grass hair could have come from Fazu.

It's also funny in my head to imagine Fazu spending hours trying to get his hair under control in the morning, while also trying to do the same with the brothers. Phaser didn't appreciate it at all, while Tremolo looks up to his father and wants to keep his hair just like his. Blessed be possibly the mother's genetics to make that easier, lol.

Going back to my very old headcanons, this means Fazu is an excellent cook, at least by the time the brothers are born. Maybe Rovian's and Luge's curry did something there.

(This naturally involves the brothers being at least a few centuries old. In earlier episodes it is mentioned that Chupataro's family has lived three generations peacefully on earth and earned the gold rank ID from MIK. They would not have gotten it without a considered amount of evidence in retrospect, or someone having a close eye on them and monitoring them at all times.

We have no idea how long the average lifespan of a chupacabra is in this world, but looking at the confirmed ages of some of the aliens it's at a minimum the average lifespan of a human.

Since Phaser founded the MIK to protect Tremolo from aliens after they lost their parents in their childhood (presumably to aliens), he was also the one to make the final decision about who gets the gold rank ID, and who doesn't.

Knowing him, he wouldn't just give out these ranks to anyone without being fully convinced of their usefulness to earth, or them not being a threat. Which means only trusted allies can confirm these good deeds of Chupataro's family (which could only have been Tremolo, let's be real here) or he himself has seen them happen.

It's possible Moonie and I misunderstood something, but this is fanon and I'm not fighting anyone who thinks the brothers are not that old. Headcanon them however you like. ^^)

Phaser (hybrid) and Korasu would be up next, but idk when that will be. Life is getting busy again this week.

Twilight Town AU: The Ragdoll Monster

In the original Ruby Gloom, Ruby was essentially the lone “human” of the group. She does live with a cyclops, a skeleton, a banshee, conjoined twins, ghosts, a bat, and three crows/ravens. In addition to Twilight Town, there’s also a witch and a fallen angel. Now I do say “human” with quotes since she’s described a lot as ragdoll-like if not straight up a ragdoll.

So I’m gonna describe and sorta layout what type of monster, my process in creating her, and what I have planned for her for y’all to read below.

The Ragdoll Monster

So in the AU, she is explicitly a living ragdoll. I think it’s a general agreed thing in the fanon that she is a ragdoll in the likeness of Raggedy Ann. To be honest she reminds me of Strawberry Shortcake a lot more.

With that in mind, I gave her all those little stitches on her body and even alongside her clothes since I think she looks adorable with the patchworks and wearing a lot of textile knits. I even made it a special ability that she can sew her body parts if she ever ends up injured though you’re better off not letting her bleed

The Dark Side

So it is planned already that Ruby is more than just a sweet looking face. This part of her design was based on the earlier versions of her character. The darker and very much goth version before the show. I was inspired by these snippets from an interview about her and some artwork of her

She also has a lot of inspiration from Coraline, in fact her eyes were gonna have little white spots to look like buttons but I couldn’t get them to look right hence her big eyes now.

Now for her really dark side and Lore. Her monstrous side is based on two things. One is the creep factor of dolls and puppets and the other is vampires.

I didn’t put him in her mood board but Ruby got some inspiration from Wally Darling such as his creepy little stare which gave me more ideas alongside the early ruby works.

Now the vampire part was added when I began concepting classic monsters into the AU. Out of nowhere I began to draw Dracula with a regular doll version of Ruby. I love the concept so I expanded it.

Lore and Backstory

Dracula and other vampires can turn humans by having them taste vampiric blood so, to test it out, Dracula got a baby ragdoll then injected his blood into the doll’s insides. Miraculously the ragdoll was brought to life though she appeared to be like a normal infant with an overly cheerful disposition. It was only then she showed abilities that not even vampires could possess. Dracula decided to name her Ruby and sewn up the rest of her appearance, calling her his daughter. At some point, Dracula hired the Raven brothers to leave his castle with Ruby to a place she could be safe from humans and to record anything new powers she develops.

Ruby has lived in the Twilight Town Mansion for now 17 years. She is upset that humans see monsters as nothing but evil and dangerous creatures that should be destroyed hence why she creates her new Blog, the Good n Gloom where she will be able to show that monsters are just like them If not a little creepy and kooky. But that doesn’t mean that when push comes to shove, she’ll do what she has to do in order to help her friends.

I hope you like this slightly longer post talking about Twilight Town! This is the first time I got to go in full about the lore and what has been done for these characters! I guess the vampires are kinda different from the classic movie version ^^:

Next Character: The Banshee

[cinalilli]

life series-specific design headcanons (empires and hermitcraft feel different to me in many cases)

i try to base my designs pretty closely off of the actual skins and the faces of the actual players when i can, with minimal fanon or nonhuman traits where i can help it

BUT winners get a higher degree of mutation for me. something something watchers but i don't really care about all that, i think that just making it to the end of that kind of event means you get to control the narrative a bit more and if your narrative turns you into a wolf girl then so be it

so far the only non-winner I've broken this time with is drawing jimmy with wings but they Do Not Work and are only the because of the curse

everyone DOES have the potential for non-human traits in the event they do win but i try to keep them subtle when i can. as such i haven't drawn impulse because I'm torn on whether the little horns are strong enough of a vibe that i couldn't in good faith draw him without them (eg like with grian. who. yeah. that's him)

same thing with skizz because the angel thing feels wholly in reaction to the imp vibe for impulse but it doesn't really feel deeper than that to me. even if it's really cute

lizzie in this one is a mischievous little kitten

martyn also doesn't really have any nonhuman traits yet but i kinda wanna revisit that and spice it up for him honestly. i just haven't actually seen his win in person just the losses of everyone else

etho i do actually really like the arctic fox + braid/ponytail headcanon i just forgot in my rush to make him damp

scott in life series only has crystals that grow from his head like horns or a crown, getting longer as he loses lives. in other series i like it as a halo though

I have two minds to answer this, because part of me is going 'WE GOT EM!!! WE GOT EM!!' While the other part of me is like 'oh god how do I tell them. Who’s going to tell them.' The easiest way I can explain: Tom, Ben, and Harry are not in a minecraft series together, and the lore that I have for them is not based in any actual series. HOWEVER. DON’T LET THE TRAGIC TRUTH MAKE YOU CLICK AWAY /silly so I can explain properly LMAO

Here’s a TLDR for anyone who likes these guys and is a lil interested in them!!

Most of the lore for these three is based on an amalgamation of inside jokes, non-minecraft character trends, and general yogs minecraft world lore!

Tom was an editor (now has a YouTube channel, AngoryTom) and did behind-the-scenes minecraft prep for the Yogscast for so long that he was never really interested in any actual "main channel" series besides [Dig Site - 10 episodes] with Simon, Lewis, and Ben, and [Skyblock - 2 episodes] with Ben! Although he’s also played several npcs throughout various main channel series since he was helping run the show lol. My take on his character is that he’s a former yoglabs employee due to [YOGLABS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION] and now lives his laziest life ever in an undisclosed remote location. He’s also the demigod of death but he’ll never tell

Ben started doing main series mc content a few years ago, but hasn’t done anything mc with Tom and Harry until recently (see below)! His character is a Shark Hybrid due to [YOGLABS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION] who now lives with Tom at the same undisclosed remote location.

Harry has been an insane speedrunning minecraft legend for ages, but was never in any main series content bc he’s actually a graphic designer for the yogs. But he was part of Iskall’s twitch vault hunter event back in November, and he’s now in the [Vault Hunter Series - Ongoing] with Ben and Duncan on YouTube! <3 so there’s plenty of mc content of Harry and Ben, but not so much Tom. c!Harry has lived remote for as long as he can remember, locked in Hardcore, until…?

But again, I base their backstories on a bunch of kinda loosely connected lore dots that are half based on jokes <3

Below the read more includes: links to clips, compilations, and very brief lore explanations (though you can check my other lore drawings in Tom’s tag (#Angory Tom), Ben’s tag (#bedgar), Harry’s tag (#brryhrry) or posts that have any of them, which should be under the (#the outcast trio) tag)!

BEN AND TOM

I’ve been in love with Ben and Tom as a duo forever, since the TTT (modded Trouble in Terrorist Town) days, where Ben’s player model was Left Shark, and Tom’s model was Emperor Palpatine (yes from Star Wars. I can’t stand them). But Ben and Tom have been yogs editors and Behind The Scenes guys forever, so it wasn’t until more recently that they became known personalities in the main yogscast circle (4-5 years is pretty recent in the 10+ years of yogs content timeline LMAO).

Through Warhammer streams and behind the scenes stuff, I kinda fell in love with their chemistry and idiocy, and they worked so well with the “main cast” that I just had to put them in the yogs minecraft universe, somewhere. Turns out, Tom had actually done a majority of the "behind the scenes" work for the Yoglabs series (he built a majority of the main building, did mod research and testing, was present during recordings to make sure things went well, stuff like that) so it only made sense to have his character be the Right Hand Man/ Behind The Scenes Assistant to Xephos (Lewis), the Morally Questionable Head of Yoglabs.

For anyone who’s unfamiliar with Yoglabs, it’s one of the yogs’ more famous series featuring Simon (Honeydew) and Lewis (Xephos) where they tested mods! more info can be found here!

c!Tom also ended up as a Lumian (the fanon alien space species for the yogs fandom, vaguely inspired by Star Trek Vulcans) because of a one-off joke where one of the Yogs artists drew him as a star trek commander, and I really didn’t need any further reason to make him a weird little guy LDKFJG

As far as the “demigod of death” thing goes, it felt right to give him a lore thing that vaguely coordinated with the whole “Emporer Palpatine” vibe, since that’s kinda the mc skin he’s used most recently. There’s another reason there that I don’t think I’ve properly explained, so I’ll leave the rest of that be for now ;]

Ben, on the other hand, plays a shark character in pretty much every video game he ever participates in, so shark hybrid was a pretty obvious way to go. And of course, since the duo had to be in the same place… involving Ben’s shark Hybrid-ness with yoglabs experimentation made good sense and good angst. What can I say :]

Here are the bigger lore posts I’ve made so far (in the order i posted them i believe!), explaining in a little more detail plus art to go with! :] [x] [x] [x]

HARRY

Harry is kinda known as the yogscast’s token memelord? But in the ironic way. He somehow makes it genuinely hilarious idk man. His humor is very dry, witty, and sarcastic, but he’s a sweetheart and kind of a god at minecraft. I’ve been arguing since day one that this man should be in mcc but we won’t go there

There aren't many solo harry compilations, so here's a link to a Harry and Ben compilation hehe

Regarding his minecraft lore, pretty much all of it is based around the idea that he’s a god at speedrunning and hardcore Minecraft. A common consensus in yogscast minecraft lore is that respawning is actually a Yoglabs-based mechanic tied to clones and clone making. I thought it would be interesting if Harry could be tied to a hardcore element in the yogs lore purely by having Somehow slid under yoglabs’ radar. And since he was never in any main channel (aka modded) series, i usually associate him with Vanilla mechanics, and since i also view mods as a Yoglabs-related lore element, it made sense! So basically— no clones, no respawns, no mods!

except that he’s in a main channel series now. So I’ll need to find a new lore reason around that DTBJDFGHK

And his design, well… this man’s skin is straight up Mr Mime, and there’s only so much I can do with that /silly But he’s a HUGE Pokémon fan! He’s played a couple of Disaster Nuzlockes with Lydia from the yogs a year or so ago, if that’s something you’re interested in! Was a huge comfort series for me for the longest time and rly good background noise, theyre soooo good at Pokémon I promise <3

Harry does more twitch stuff (hrry on twitch) than youtube stuff, so twitch is the best place to check him out if you're interested in his solo content!

Last thing I'll say about him is that he designed and ran an original minecraft minigame called "Capture the Wool" and he and Martyn are the hosts for a few episodes i think! i dont think there's any way to explain how entertaining it is to listen to him announce the chaos of yogs members trying to play competitive minecraft LOL

Um, so. TLDR…2, These guys are basically my ocs and now I get Actual minecraft content from them which is crazy. I love them as content creators and cool guys so so much though, so! Definitely recommend listening to these idiots (affectionate) babble and ramble to each other, mc or not <3

Hi! You can call me Gekko. I make art, primarily for my Hollow Knight AU, named Feral PK AU, but you'll also find occasional dragon/dinosaur art or maybe even fanart from other media. I also reblog posts from various other things, so it can get a bit chaotic.

That being said, the AU is the main focus of this blog. It is a slice of life AU for my favorite characters which mostly takes place in Dirtmouth, though over time it also evolved into a personal worldbuilding and character driven project.

Just a heads up, it does stray quite a bit from the canon and many popular fanon interpretations, so please approach with an open mind! If you have any questions, check the FAQ below first and don't be afraid to send me asks about it!

(disclaimers about the blog and the AU below)

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

DISCLAIMERS:

» Please do not reupload my art anywhere. I'm okay with people using it as their icons/banners, but please remember to credit me.

» Since this is a primarily AU related blog, anything I say about the characters is from a headcanon lens. A lot of my headcanons are quite different from the most popular fanon interpretations, so please be aware of that before you respond, especially in regards to fandom jokes and character hate.

» A large chunk of my drawings and posts features the ship Pale Nightmare, so if you dislike it I would not recommend following my blog. It's the only ship I'm invested in, and while I avoid ship discourse, there are some that I find uncomfortable, particularly those between the characters that I consider family within the AU (Grimm/Hornet and Grimm/Hollow being the primary ones).

» Although I might occasionally touch upon topics that are in the suggestive or sexual territory in regards to some characters, this blog is otherwise still meant to be SFW. I will not be posting any explicit artwork, and I try to keep the suggestive topics tasteful. If you are interested in my NSFW art, do not ask me about it here, instead head over to my Twitter private alt. I try my best to keep the two places separate.

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

AU RELATED DISCLAIMERS/FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

» The AU takes place after the Embrace the Void ending, and so The Knight/Ghost is not present.

» The Pale King's name in the AU is Vyrm (an alternate spelling of Wyrm that he uses as his name), though I occasionally refer to him as FPK. I would prefer if he was referred to with this name. At the current point in the AU he and The White Lady are separated.

» Please keep in mind that the AU originated as something I found comfort in, and it remains that way. There may be inconsistencies, I might retcon things on the go, and some things may simply not be well written. I also have no plans to turn it into a fanfic or a comic.

» I'm always open to answer questions about the AU and the characters! So if you have any, please don't be afraid to send me an ask, I absolutely love responding to them. 💖

» I am currently working on a WorldAnvil page for a more detailed, wiki-like AU info, link at the top of the post!

I noticed there's more of a difference now, it reminds me of toothless from HTTYD.

In part one toothless was a somewhat dark, dark Navy blue color(kinda like chaos) and then in the other two he goes completely black (like nightmare) was this intentional tinkering or maybe you just went random?

To be honest, I always try to connect things/designs/etc to the story. (I have a whole google doc written about this Au, so that I won't forget it)

I always try to make my ideas look like it was intentional, no matter what. And with Chaos' color, that's exactly what it was. My main idea with Chaos' design, was for him to have more turquoise colors, to symbolize a little bit Fanon Nightmare.

At first, I drew Nm And Chaos with light lineart.

At that time, the only resemblance the two had, were their colors, and tentacles. I wanted to draw Chaos' tentacles more stiff, and less flowy than Nm, to symbolize he was fake. Or rather, a copy.

I didn't really think that much about it at that time, I only saw this as a little silly joke, that's not going to get relevant in the future, so I left the design at that.

But then, I got really tired of looking at their lineart- so I drew them with black lineart. But that would meant that the two couldn't be recognizable to the viewers, so I decided to change Nm outfit.

I researched for AWHILE for me to get to an outfit I really liked, and thought would look good on Nm. So I settled on his current jacket.

This one 👆

I rewrote the script, so that Nm changing outfits would be somewhat reasonable, so I figured that Nm would probably don't like the fact him and his clone share the same clothes, and he'd eventually want to be recognized from him.

Over the time, I got tired of Chaos color- It was too similar to Nm, in my opinion (even though that was the main intention). And then, I got the genius idea, that would let me explore and, let's say... Toy with Chaos' design. The idea is basically this;

The more Chaos strays away from his main goal/purpose, the more his code is REBUILDING itself into another, completely different code. It sounds a little complicated...but it's not, really! I just cannot explain stuff for the life of me T~T

If you pay attention to my art, you can notice the first changes to Chaos' design in this comic;

So..while it was a thing- IN THE SPUR of the moment, I managed to make it fit into the story, and to make sense of the change.

Hope you enjoyed my small talk :)
