BOOM, NIGHTSHADE IS BACK.

AND HE'S GOING TO BE JOINING ARTFIGHT 2024!

I originally made this JUST for artfight 2024, but I think I'm going to make this his official reference sheet. I also just wanted an excuse to FINALLY redesign him. I'm very happy with how he turned out, too. :)

Close-Ups and different faces down below! (Slight TW for body horror and blood)

So turns out I already had a design for this challenge! It fit the requirements and I did base it off myself, so I'm just going to use this funky fella for myself! So with that being said...

MEET BEEBO! and snips the cursor raptor dog pet thing

a whole lot of information below!

Honestly, I'm really glad I ended up doing this challenge and coming up with gimmicks and a personality for this goober! Thanks, CV!

Just came up with the name earlier today, and I love how the design came out! Might adjust a few things here and there, but let's focus on the facts first!

I will not be explaining the design and inspiration choices on a personal level, but feel free to interpret those however you want I guess? Everything else currently is in the link above!

They/Them pronouns, 21 and a half years old making them the youngest out of The Circus' Members

Their silly buddy Snips loves being a menace! Whenever that's poking, biting, cutting important things, ETC.

They're the only one who can understand what Snips is saying other than Bubble. Not even Caine knows Cursorish!

Most favorite is Gangle, least favorite is Zooble, but only because Beebo never got to know or talk to Zooble nor wants to try. Other than that, Beebo loves everyone in The Circus! Even JAX!

Enjoys playfully butting heads with Jax, and even seems to RESPECT him to some extent! It's...unclear why that is!

Terrible at comprehending sarcasm and jokes, usually ends up misunderstanding or not getting the point

Probably one of the only people who actually likes Caine's adventures, and Beebo REALLY likes Caine's adventures!

Speaking of, Beebo seems to really resonate and emphasize with Caine. Compared to everyone else, Beebo is very... defensive and supportive of Caine and his endeavors... But I'm sure it's just because scatterbrained robots get along well! Great minds think alike, after all! They are not in love, by the way. The reason is a little more complex and isn't about romance at all

Definitely eats Orbeez when nobody's watching

As for Beebo's gimmicks, they have a few...

Buffering

Mentally and literally. Mentally, they tend to forget things they just did whenever that's actions or talking, causing them to sometimes repeat things. Literally, they will freeze up in the middle of conversations or moments while trying to process them and their visor-face will turn into a loading circle. The longest time this lasts is a few minutes.

Sleep Mode

This is...essentially just sleeping, but the only difference is that Beebo can automatically fall asleep on command. Other people can wake Beebo from this state and sometimes even activate it if Beebo's knocked out or glitches out.

Self-Deactivation

And...this is where the gimmicks aren't as fun. As a more severe version of Sleep Mode, Beebo can shut themselves down entirely without being able to reactivate unless Caine or another Member does so. It's usually Caine who'd have to reactivate Beebo if they got stressed from an adventure to a point of deactivating themselves, but usually this never has to be resorted to as other Members usually prevent it from happening other than one incident. If Beebo attempts to activate this ability, there's a small window before their system shuts down while the "Shutting Down..." screen is displayed on their visor where Members can cancel the process. Jax figured this out after smacking Beebo in the back of the head while they were trying to deactivate, which managed to stop the shutdown. Additionally, poking the visor, shaking Beebo, or loud noises are other methods used. If the deactivation does end up going through entirely with no interruption, Beebo goes limp and essentially falls into a coma until reactivated. They cannot think, hear, see, or anything while in this state, and will usually forget moments leading up to the deactivation after being reactivated.

And just for fun, if Beebo holds their breath (Can robots even do that...?), essentially they just begin overheating, slowly turning a shade of red and emitting smoke until literally exploding in place. Like this:

They don't actually explode explode; Once the smoke clears, they'll be standing in the center covered in soot like a cartoon character after getting hit with a stick of dynamite. Sometimes, Snips will comically disintegrate, but they grow back pretty easily.

I challenge all my moots to make a TADC OC/Sona(if they haven't already) but with me and @redwolfstudios 's headcanon inspired requirements

The requirements include:

• Must take inspiration from something you hate about yourself (physically, mentally, emotionally, how others perceive you, ect.)

• You can add things that you hate/dislike outside of yourself if it helps tie in the concepts and overall theme of your character

• It does not necessarily have to be completely circus themed as (at least) Zooble, Kinger, and Ragatha aren't completely circus themed nor exactly fit in a circus, same with some of the past members

• Just have fun with it! It may be stuff you hate about yourself or stuff you hate in general but that doesn't mean you can't love the final product!

I do suggest you do a little bit of research for your ideas since a little bit of research can go a long way to helping you put a design together and a possible gimmick, since your brain might have trouble connecting everything together into a character design/gimmick(it happened to Redwolf and @glitchtrapthebunny)

Was cleaning out some of my old art to make room for new art, and...

I found art of an old Dreamtale AU I was working on a couple of months ago! Kind of sad that I put so much work into the poster and never even posted it. Let's change that!

I've mentioned the AU once or twice, and teased it with this post, but never did anything with the AU afterwards. Why? Because I thought it broke the canon too much and I lost motivation. HOWEVER, looking back at the art and drafts I made for the AU, I MIIIIIIGHT do more with this.

If you're wondering, the AU revolves around Dream trying to uncorrupt Nightmare's soul to kill him while Nightmare was killing him, but while Dream died, Nightmare didn't. In fact, his soul gets partially purified and his passive, original self is brought back and left to deal with the barren wasteland that used to be his home alongside the brainwashed, feral villagers that he doomed.

IM TALKING ABOUT THIS ABOMINATION

[aroaceleovaldez]

Here is a link to the Cherokee Nation's official site. Here is the Visit Cherokee Nation youtube channel. Here is a playlist for learning Cherokee (and here's one for learning Ojibwe, as a bonus cause i'm biased). Here is a link to Daybreak Star Radio, which is a radio station based in Seattle dedicated to showcasing international first nations and indigenous music that you can listen to online. Here is a pdf of various recipes, including references to which tribes they originate from. Here is a link to The-aila-test's buy native tag, and here is a link to Beyond Buckskin's buy native list (though some of the links are broken). Here is a link to the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper's official site.

now go take a minute and come back once you've done some research so everybody can stop being weird about Piper.

Okay I just remembered this was a thing, but how do each of the cod characters react to Fallen baby? I feel like Soap would find the little guy kind of cute, so would Alex. Farah would genuinely hold one as long as the fallen carrying them said it was fine. I honestly just love this imagery.

SMOLLEN!

Soap was risen before Twilight gap and is unfortunately a bit weary first of the fallen in the tower. Probably would be afraid of holding it at first. Isn’t aware too much of what’s going on with the alliances part other than what the young wolf has been able to tell him. (Soap works primarily with Hive missions)

Ghost I think would think they’re cute and be ok with holding one (he was an uncle after all). He wouldn’t admit it outright he’ll just show up one day with a smollen he promised to babysit. Soap and Price would look at him weird. And Ghost would carry on like he’s not holding a little alien baby.

Farah would find them absolutely adorable and would be a strong voice for an alliance with the Eliksni for sure. Alex supports Farah 100% too. Gaz is hesitant at first but knows about the growing alliance between the two races and eventually comes around.

Price finds them adorable but is also kind of afraid of hurting them being a Titan and all.
