#alluvium of the styx

[fairyhaven13]

This took a while, but I redid the designs for my Silent Hill AU of the FNAF Simulator gang. This is for the sequel to my story, Alluvium of the Styx, which I’m currently working on. Find the first one here! I’m really proud of it, and I’m very excited for how the sequel is coming along! The descriptions under the cut will be spoilers for it, though, so be warned. Same goes for the previous concepts I’ve posted on here--they contain ideas I was working on, although not all of them will come out the same way once the story is done.

Right to left, here are the changes I made and why!

Springtrap: Originally he was his Glitchtrap design, but let’s be honest, I hated it. Some people can draw him really well that way, but I just prefer the classic Springtrap design much better. So, I mixed the two, and gave him his Glitchtrap vest and smaller stature, and his Springtrap look and bulk. This goes with the story as well, as Glitchtrap is the culmination of his evil in the story, and this version of him got separated and captured by Cassidy for her mind’s hellscape. The gang has to rescue him, but only because they need to track his other half down, not because they have any fondness for him.

Puppet: debating on nicknaming her Mary, but in the first story, she makes it clear that Puppet is the name she chose for herself, so maybe not. I made her taller and gave her hair, because drawing her bald under the hat might be more accurate but it felt weird. I couldn’t make it look right. Still want to work on her hairstyle a bit. I added more detail to her outfit, too. The red shoes are based on the red slippers from Wizard of Oz, because as much as she separates herself from her old life as Charlie, she still misses living at home with her dad.

Funtime Foxy: Lia calls him Loxy, after Foxy Loxy, because there’s too many Foxies around. I gave him a silk sash and made his hair a little bouncier, and gave him back the freckles I missed last time. I wanted to make him look a tad more like a showman, but still based on the same commonality that Funtime Freddy has. He’s more dapper and debonair, and Lia’s crush on him is fully because I myself have a pretty sizable crush on him lol.

Funtime Freddy (back): Lia calls him Funny, which is explained in the first story. I rounded his features more and gave him shorter legs, because the legs on my other two designs just did not look right on him. These are more cartoonish than the other characters have, but I think they fit him. I also gave him more blue colors to go with his old friendship with BonBon.

Helpy(+BonBon): Helpy was with Lia and Funny when they discovered their mutual pasts, and was part of their bonding experience. Therefore, when they find the fading souls of Ballora and BonBon, and Funny begs them to help, they agree to take on parts of those souls to help his friends live on. Helpy takes on BonBon. He’s still mostly Helpy, but his looks changed a bit and he’s a little closer to Funny now, in a stern, parental sort of way. I gave his outfit a bit more detail.

Lia (front): Lia, as said above, agreed with Helpy to take on the fading souls. She took Ballora. Also like Helpy, there wasn’t much of the soul left, so she’s still mostly Lia, she just has some of the looks and abilities now of Ballora. My original design had more Ballora in it, but I decided Lia didn’t want to run around in a tutu and leotard, so I mixed it with her own casual outfit. Hence the boots and shorts, and overall punk look.

Michael: I worked really hard on making him look better, streamlining him and fixing his hair so it looked less like a dead animal. I added a vest to give him color and changed his button-up to a t-shirt to give him... whatever the opposite of style is. He is not a stylish man. He’s shoving his sister’s claw out of his face. I think he looks better. I really tried to make his cheekbones look right and get the skull factor in there. In the first story, he has pasty skin, but Silent Hill turned him fully into a purple zombie.

Baby: Lia calls her Bea. I changed her from the ground up. I still wanted her to be a tall, big girl, but instead of a muscular sort of big, I went with a plus-size look. I think it fits her better. She’s a rebellious young woman who has drifted far away from the sweet, little girl her old self was. Baby’s self has mostly taken over what was once Elizabeth and become someone new, though she still thinks of herself as an Afton. She’s a biker brat now. Emphasis on brat. The tattoo on her stomach is meant to be reminiscent of her old stomach fan blade, and I gave her a claw, since I forgot to before. And, yes, her stomach still opens up to kill people.

Funtime Foxy (Loxy) and Lia (Millie/Ballora) dancing in a mossy tunnel in Silent Hill. I tried my best to get this done before the month was up in honor of Security Breach coming out. Considering how little energy I’ve had, it’s a miracle this is out so close to January. BUT. GUESS WHAT. I FINALLY finished the first part of my FNAF series that I’ve been talking about on here! The first chapter is up here!! Go check it out, I had a ton of fun writing it and I’m excited to share it. 

It’s only Act 1, which is Pizzeria Simulator. Act 2 is when I start mixing in Ultimate and Help Wanted with the atmosphere of Silent Hill. Act 3 will be Security Breach, so if that’s what you’re hoping for, please bare with me until then! I’m sure you’ll like this AU if you try it. It’s mostly canon compliant for this first story, just with Millie from the books working with Michael to get the job done in Simulator. Then it will branch out wildly from there. Give it a shot!

Thoughts on the art under the cut.

I was going for a tunnel in a park with greenery in the distance but I think it looks more like a sewer. Oh well. It’s good practice.

I gave Loxy more patterns on his jacket to go with the circusy theme, and Lia is currently halfway between her Millie and Ballora form here, hence the outfit. They dance a lot together, even before Loxy realizes that Lia has a crush on him. He just loves being a showman and so he spontaneously dances and sings a lot, and Lia is happy to join in, especially once she’s part Ballora, because Ballora was made for showbusiness, after all. Funny tries to join in, but Funtime Freddy was not made for singing, he was made for comedy, and so his singing voice is squawky and hideous. It makes the others laugh, at least.
