Out of curiosity, are there any clones you've wanted to make but haven't because you can't figure out a design for them you like?

An interesting question, Bee Anon! And the answer is yes, definitely

That kinda goes for any character I want to make, but specifically for clones it's a little easier bc they all have a 'template' they fit into (either Tall Fake Peppino, Wide Fake Peppino or Peppiclone) and then add/edit features where desired

But there are a lot where I have the idea in my head, but they won't come out on the (digital) paper - so they currently remain as concepts in my brain with vague appearances and colours, even if they are listed in the masterlist and I count them as characters

Like I have mentioned Turmeric at least twice before, but they do not have an 'official' design yet bc they lean into the more body horror side and - besides needing to be in a certain mood for body horror - I can't seem to get them how I see them in my mind - I have an idea and an inspiration/reference, but I just have not been able to do it jkfgdkfdg

Some other clones like Cinnamon Stick and Mixed Herbs I've had ideas for months, but I have just never got them drawn - and other clones like Cas do get drawn, but then I get stuck on their colours or what patterns/markings I want them to have

More recently the kangaroo clone gave me some trouble bc I did not know which type of clone to make him (I was debating on a midway between a Fake Peppino and a Peppiclone, but then what would I tag them as kjfgkjfdg), and one of a kangaroo's defining features are their feet, and I tend to leave the clone legs untouched, so it was weird to give them jacked kangaroo legs jkfdgk - but once I got the idea for the huge tail, then it was like oh!!! Not fully a kangaroo any more (now part snake), but I am happy with the design

Even more recently, as in last night, I was working on one of the suggested clones, and it is more of a joke suggestion (the asker even said they were gonna suggest it ironically, but they wanna see what I'd do), so idk if I wanna completely lean into the joke or not - and they're another plantpino, which seem to give me the most trouble, bc I don't enjoy drawing plants that much kjgfdkjdf (I am gonna work on them today, bc I think I have an idea, wish me luck jkdgkj)

That all being said, most get their designs officially at some point! They might not be how I initially imagined them, but I can always redesign them later!

This has been another Bean Spiel, thank you (silly)
