#I didn't want to fuck with his color palette so it's just the og

[eyeballs-in-my-head]

Get space themed, idiot

[trinketstreasuretrove]

I keep bouncing back and forth between interests like pong

Extra thoughts/details & sketches below cut

You have no fucking idea how much thought I put into this

Kremy: Changeling that disguises as a unicorn

Gideon: Kirin

Frost: Unicorn

Gricko: Earth Pony

Torbek: Abada

Twig: Breezie

There is going to be so much rambling so fucking STRAP IN

Okay so. Changeling Kremy. I realized like 80% of the way through I coulda made him a dragon but I wanted to draw horses soooooo... :| I imagine he is CONSTANTLY changing around his cutie mark. He could theoretically give himself a normal mustache but I think the idea of him being unable to do so is stupidly funny so he still draws it on. I tried to give him twists bc I thought it'd look pretty & I don't know how I'd translate the hair people usually give him in human designs onto a horse. I'm PRAYING that it's clear enough they're supposed to be twists (ref image below)

I'll be honest I think Gideon is the one I put the least thought into. Although that's mostly because his idea was the first one I just LATCHED onto and stuck with. He's a Kirin so he still has the connection to fire and whatnot. Instead of being imprisoned by hobgoblins it'd probably be diamond dogs in this au. He does still have a beard unlike usual Kirins but it just sort of melds into his mane.

Frost was a FUCKING NIGHTMARE (heh mare) to design I'm ngl. I kept having to redo his colors and had to heavily simplify his robes (and even then I had to redraw them when I got to the coloring stage because I hated them that much). But I think he'd turned out quite pretty in the end. I didn't want to just slap stripes on a horse and just call it a day though so desgining him to look recognizable but not just look like a zebra or a weird shaped tiger was difficult. He does have the saddle bags they have in MLP to stand in for his backpack & I tried to give it a similar pattern to his waist sash he has in his splash art. Also his mane is supposed to look like this under the hood.

It's supposed to have some strands coming out the sides to resemble the stripes on his face & I really hope that comes through in the design O.O

Gricko I also admittedly didn't think too much on because his design translated surprisingly well into a pony :] It was a little difficult to figure out his mane but I think it's quite cute. Figuring out his cutie mark was stressful. I wasn't sure if I should've gone with something music or animal related so I started sketching a harmonica with like. a music sheet? coming out of it? But after messing with the shape of the "wind" coming out of the top I realised I could make it into a paw to sort of combine music and animals and I think its verrry cute :]

Torbek! Torbek! Torbek! :D I'm crazy happy w/ how Torbek came out. He translates shockingly well into pony form especially when I found out ab Abadas in MLP. The incredibly lanky proportions fit verrry well. The leg designs are supposed to reference how his (witchlight-effected) arm in his splash art turns darker towards the ends and the stripes on his chest reference the straps from the straight jacket(?) under his coat. ALSO Abadas do have a cutie mark/cutie mark equivalent design on their flank (they represent their special talent and I think Torbek's OG mark would be about climbing) but I covered up where it would be with some witchlight machinery cause I thought it was clever :] it's specifically based on this plate(?) on his back

Anddd finally Twig :] I went into her design immediately knowing she was gonna be a Breezie. I originally just kinda slapped some colors onto a basic Breezie body and added a hat but it was really boring so I added some spots and gave her colored hooves to spruce it up just a little bit. The spots also gave me the ability to give her some AJ style freckles which I think are verrry adorable. :]

PS. as a treat for reading all that heres the OG concept I sketched up in MS paint (the designs stayed mostly the same [besides color palette] but I thought Frost look too tiger-y so I changed it up a bit in the end) You get a gold star if you can make out all of my handwriting btw

[rexxmako]

raise the curtains! bring up the lights! the [EXTREMELY NICHE APOCALYPSE AU] neighborhood is coming to town!!

scroll for design notes and whatnot :D

i wish i knew how to draw Ray and Gobblette and Pearl and Gordon but i'll have to learn and practice as i go. these are all you get for now until i draw them decently

design notes below :]

Ricky

good god he's had so many reworks. he used to have a lighter skin tone and no dreadlocks and it was sooo off-putting to look at back then

i'm really glad i redesigned his human version

i took the color of his sock body and used it for his major hair color

also thought it'd be neat for him to have patches on his body. he's not exactly human because of this lol

he has earrings cos he's bonita as fuck

he has his bowtie undone but always has it on him because he never wants to forget abt his show days :(

Vi

my OC :D she's the baby of the group. she's human btw

also a child star of the show from the age of 3 or 4 to 8 years old

the main character of LDM (the name of the apocalypse au)

she's absolutely precious

her hair color is natural btw. fuckin anime protagonist ahh hair

Junebug

she is soooo the type to decorate her outfits with patches and decal

an absolute cutie pie gahh i love her

her hair's surprisingly easy to draw

girlie is the whole definition of pretty in pink <3

Lilianna

mother

tried to make her look older than the rest

her hair was pretty tricky to draw hh

also the flower pin on her collar - she does actually have a flower in her og design so thought it'd be cool if mb Junebug gave her the pin

a sunhat wouldn't be practical but a bandana would. decided to give it flower patterns because the hat has a flower on it too.

the color palette took so much trial and error. worth it tho

Lenard

SILLY GUY <3

idc he needed dreads they suit him fight me

one of his voice lines starts with "music? music! oh, i love it so much!" so why not give him music note patches

he also originally has a missing eye but i decided to make him half-blind instead? idk lemme know if this should be changed or not idk if im doing him justice

George

NAH MAN I COOKED LIKE???

i sketched him out on a sticky note in under 5 mins. best piece of trad art i ever made ong

and i've had his design in mind for a while but i didn't know how to sketch him out digitally so i went for traditional and it WORKED

i imagine him as the oldest of the Neighbors but not that much older than Lilianna

he has a missing eye in the game too but for variation i gave him an eyepatch (homage to the Stage 5 pirate variant of him)

his outfit was really easy i just referenced his usual clothing

his grey streaks gahh. he's so old i love him

popeye ahh mf

Norman

fuckin basic-ass bitchass white boy bitch /j

the most normal one of the bunch is the hardest to design. sobs

i need ways to enhance him / make him stand out more send help aaafhggk

EDIT 1: @witheringmascotmess had the suggestion to give him injuries since he's in a lot of warning/caution posters around the studio in the game. i think that's so smart like genuinely! so thank you for the idea fam :D i also tried to make his face a little rounder idk lol

[rabbittwinrithings]

So while I'm fucking around with my skyrim baldurs gate companions game, I also decided to do a more in-depth Durge playthrough, and play around with the companions looks. So here's how everyone looks so far!

First off, my peepaw Durge, Cain! I love him so much! While I played with him a bit before and romance Lae'zel, I'm debating on if I want to do that again. Guess I'm going with the flow on him to see who he ends up with.

I really need to draw him at some point. I love the story I built for him, and his personality, which I imagine is very much like Kratos's from God of War; mostly silent and gruff, but knows when he is needed emotionally, and gives great advice on combat!

(Everyone else is below the cut!)

Astarion is one I really just played around with. I knew I wanted to make him a Tiefling, but that was it. Still, I'm super happy with how he turned out. I'm even warming up to him a bit this playthrough!

I'll do Shadowheart next as she is also a character I really don't care for. But maybe I'm shallow, cause this playthrough I'm paying more attention to her and starting to warm up to her character.

I really love the purple and black on her. I also ADORE the tear looking scars on her face.

I'm not sure how the mod I'm using reacts to act 3 Shadowheart, but hopefully I can remember what faces and such I used on her so I can keep her looking mostly the same with just a few changes.

For Gale I really wanted to give him a scrawny wizard man look, and I'm just really happy with it. I don't think I have much to say about him. Just, I really like how he turned out.

I really had no idea what I wanted to do for Karlach, but I'm happy in the end. At first I just was going for a red color look. But after finding the horns that glow, I thought giving her the fire color palette with the orange would be super cool. And it is!

Honestly with Lae'zel, after turning her into Serana in my other playthrough, I decided I wanted to make her more goth. Kinda like Gale, I don't have too much to say, I'm just happy how she turned out!

And lastly Wyll, my boy! I mainly knew I wanted to use these horns. But other than that I wanted to play around with his looks. I tired to download a mod that added more dreadlock hairstyles, but for some reason it didn't work (a lot of my hair mods didn't,) but I decided to just go with the og dreadlock hairstyle. Which, I'm still very happy with! I love Wyll's looks so much, and it breaks my heart knowing Cain wouldn't want to romance Wyll and I can't romance with him. Big sad!

As I play more through this game I may post more screenshots or videos. But we'll see. I've been playing for the past six hours at least, and now I must sleep!

° [ Titles/Names ]

Merciless Vixen

Lianhu Fei

Ganju Fei

Clementine

Apprentice of the third Lotus Prince

° [ Info ] REVAMPED

Lianhu Fei, a name she made up after running away from the Celestial Realm. A nine-tailed fox in hiding. A former friend of the Third Lotus Prince. She was someone who he can play jianzi with, someone who can take is repulsive action, someone who cared about him.

Lianhu had decided to leave the Celestial Realm for good. She was accused, framed, and hated for something she didn't do. But who would listen to her? Why would THEY listen to some low ranked, defective celestial wannabe vixen? No one. Nezha? He's already in a tight spot, it'd be wrong to let him be part of HER mess.

In a hasty pace, she packed whatever was left that she owned. She wanted to leave immediately, she didn't want to deal with them— Nezha? What is he doing here? Why is he here? She didn't want to see him like this. This is wrong, why was she doing this? This is selfish! What was she even thinking? She can't just leave him! She's his sis—

"..Fei? What are you—"

"I'm sorry.."

° [ Facts ]

She's lesbian!

Loves citrus fruits

Has a cloud similar to SWK

Her white ribbons act like Nezha's red ones

If she were to have a weapon it'd be an umbrella (An Easter egg to one of my og OCs who has an umbrella for a weapon)

Literally the only friends she has is SWK and Nezha

° [ Design ]

Huli jings are usually depicted as a bad omen to some. So I gave her this red croptop! I heard red is a pretty lucky color.

I have told my old friends before that "If this character isn't blue, it ain't mine." And "If this character has heterochromia eyes, then yes it's mine" most of my ocs' have blue in their color palette (I have an oc called Aella, and she has this blue color palette and heterochromia eyes. It's how my old friends can tell this one is mine)

Shoes? The fuck are those?

She does have nine tails I'm too lazy to draw those.
