#biker mice from mars Charley

[artaith-21]

Okay, I know this is a super-old pic ( almost 10 years old ) and I really wanted to get a new one done for Halloween this year, but I have a very good excuse for being too busy! I’m officially working on the new ‘Biker Mice from Mars’ animated series.

Hopefully I can get some new VinniexCharley holiday fluff done for either Thanksgiving or Christmas instead.

Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone! 🎃👻💀

So the idea of ‘offspring’ has been a long batted around idea among the fandom, especially as far as Vinnie and Charley goes. And we get asked a lot ‘what would their kids look like?’ The show never quite addresses the idea of whether or not interspecies procreation is possible, but man, they really do push that interspecies attraction is definitely unquestionable, lol.

So let’s ask the fans.

There seems to be 3 main schools of thought on this:

🔹That Vinnie and Charley are capable of and can have natural children together, creating offspring that are a complete hybridization of human and Martian mouse genetics and looks

🔸That Vinnie and Charley are capable of and can have natural children together, but that it follows ‘Bojack Horseman’ world-building type rules, where offspring come out either completely human or Martian mouse, taking their appearance from only one parent

🔹Or lastly, that they can’t naturally have children together and that they would adopt, specifically orphans from Mars.

Us? We like any and all of these ideas. Though we like to headcanon that Vinnie wants a little boy to raise to be a little hellraiser version of himself, but keeps getting girls that he constantly worries about hurting themselves and worries about guys hitting on them like he always did with the ladies, lol.

Wave 2 of the Biker mice from mars action figure looks to have our favorite Martain General Carbine!

Along with greasepit, Karbunckle, and Fred!

My only question was the Charley action figure we saw displayed just a tease or is she meant for Wave 3?

More info to come in the November issue from nacelle!

Biker Mice fic concepts!

1/2

Part 2 can be found here

this is concept art I have for a fic I’m planning on making after I finish the ‘94 series, a few notes before I get into it:

- this is 1 of 2 parts, once I post the other part I will link it to this post for those who haven’t seen it and vice versa, this post will focus on the concepts/ideas me and a friend have for a fic

-I’m not done with the series, this is just what I have so far, I’m on S2 E16 as of now, but a lot of the fic is gonna be heavily based off the ‘94 show

-no spoilers for the fic itself

Special thanks to my homie @voiddraws2much who is watching the series with me and helping me with the fic (wonderful artist btw)

Also there’s a lot of words to go with the art so I hope you like reading lol

First and foremost I kinda wanna start with Limburger and his goons,

This was my first concept of them wholeheartedly, I might tweak them all later but out of everyone I’m proud of how greasepit and Fred turned out

For Fred—we liked the idea that he was just a weird little guy, but since we specialize in man-made horrors we wanted to kick it up a notch, making him specifically a mutant/hybrid between an octopus, lion, dog and human. Y’all aren’t ready for the angst I have planned for this little guy

For Greasepit—me and my homie took a surprising liking to him, we felt bad for him a good chunk of the time even when he was being evil (when I tell you the scene where he’s crying about his life savings broke us, we were devastated for the poor guy). I don’t know how much of his life or past gets mentioned if at all in the show but me and Void conjured quite a story for him to work off of.

For Karbunkle—we planned that he was the first to work with/for Limburger, with Karbunkle having the longest history with him compared to Fred and Greasepit combined. (I’m aware I made him a little too crusty of an old man and that may or may not be fixed—I’m struggling drawing this guy). Can’t say a lot on him since it might spoil what I have planned but let’s just say he was Limburgers ticket to earth >:]

Finally for Limburger—the idea behind him was for plutark to have a bit of an evil underwater vibe, think bioshock but more unsettling. I gave Limburger the uncanny design of a human-like fish with the idea that I wanted him to be as scary as his actions towards the world and people he has working for him. I wouldn’t consider this a spoiler but an idea we have for him is that he’s wearing the skin of the real Lawrence Limburger, giving him an uncanny appearance if you look too close, as per this drawing Void did of her take on his human disguise.

One thing that kinda threw us off with the series was the fact Plutarkian’s stink, I understand it’s a bit, cheese stinks, fish stink—but Void proposed that Plutarkian’s begin to stink once they’re out of water for too long—which is what I’ll be applying rather then them being rancid 24/4, with the added bonus that they smell like corpses rather than—whatever the mice smell them as. We’d also like to lean in harder to the kind of greedy and corrupt person Limburger is and the people he represents.

One thing we both liked was how they’d hire mercenaries each episode almost—though I don’t think we’d be adding and redesigning EVERY character they’ve summoned, but we are looking to add a very particular fellow and his lady.

Hard Rock and Darla—I know they only really had a role in the S1 finale (as far as I know) but they felt too iconic, something about their dynamic was adorable, Hard Rock reminded me of Jareth the goblin king for some reason while Darla felt like a mix between the hex girl Luna and Calypso from potc (style wise for both). I definitely wanna make them at least a little more significant—maybe even tie into one of the mice if anything >w>

Next

The Mice! Plus their human

This one was a bit of a head scratcher since for the most part we wanted to keep it the same but also had to tinker around a little, so they’re still under some construction.

For Throttle—I for the life of me cannot get the vibe I want right, something about his style is too iconic to change but I wanna spice it up a little, so here’s the few outfits/concepts I came up with for him—after the road ravens episode I couldn’t NOT give him sleeves, he looks sick as hell! Although I don’t really count it as a spoiler since I did somewhat mention it in another post—this squeaki boi is my target for my oc x canon shenanigans >:] look at him, how could he not be?

For Modo—Definitely love this goober, but I had to throw a shirt on him—what if he gets cold :c I was fighting to try and redesign the harness thing on his chest—initially wanting to go with a more cyberpunk style but changed it to a thicker vest of sorts inspired by military gear.

For Vinnie—I think out of everyone Vinnie’s design was set from the start, I drew him once and immediately loved it, the only idea I had was him being the type to strap dynamite or flares to himself without regards for his safety. In Void’s words “he’s always tweaking” other than that a part of me is trying to contain the amount of angst I have planned for this guy, I don’t even think Modo is safe either I’m rubbing my hands together like an evil fly

Modo and Vinnie’s concept designs can be found in this post

Safe to say for throttle and Modo though that our only thought was this:

For Carbine—Truthfully I initially didn’t have a lot planned for Carbine especially since we only saw one episode of her, but I read a bit of the recent comics and saw snippets of her character elsewhere and read a little about her from other fans, me and my homie void have very differing thoughts on her but it was agreed we had to fix her fit (my cousin said her og design looked like she was dressed in mustard???- I’m wheezing-)

I definitely am looking forward to potentially writing/drawing more of Carbine, I have quite a bit planned for her for when she comes up accompanied by Carbine and Throttle angst, I love drinking tears if you couldn’t tell—

Finally for Charley—we don’t have a lot planned for Charley other than our own takes of her backstory (idk if her actual backstory is ever mentioned in the show or comics, we just took creative liberties with this) and her trying to help with the guys, I love that she wanted in on the action and although I feel she doesn’t get to throw hands often enough, I think she’s always one bad day away from putting someone in the hospital lol

As for characters like stoker, Harley, rimfire etc. we’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there QwQ

I am eepy and have been concocting this post for a while now even while the poll was pending so I will frankly have to leave the oc’s, other canon characters I plan to use and world based concept art for the next part of this post QwQ

Hope y’all enjoyed tho :3

Did you guys knew there was a biker mice from mars revival show during the mid 2000s?

CAUSE I SURE AS HECK DIDN'T!!!

[ask-the-biker-mice-crew]

This one's for everyone: I know all you mice love your rock, but are there any other kinds of music the four of you also listen to?

Vinnie: While nothing beats rock ('cept for scissors--) I like to indulge in a little heavy mental, the dub of step (Charley called it something like that--), and hard trance! Anything with a heavy beat I can just get fckin' lost in, y'know? I want my ribs rattling!

Throttle: Ahh, well, if I had to pick? I'd say power metal. It's great to listen to when you're trying to save the world. And the guitar riffs? Nothing compares. When I want something lighter....Grunge...Charley...might have turned me on to Country recently. But you didn't hear that from me.

Modo: I really enjoy listenin' to power ballads! Charley got me interested in them when she said they reminded her of me. Emotional but strong, is what she said...it was really sweet. When I'm out fishing, I like a nice lofi playlist. I keep the volume pretty low so I can enjoy the sounds of nature...or hear if Limburger is up to no good.

Charley: If you couldn't tell by now, I listen to anything and everything! If it wasn't for me, the boys wouldn't have ANY musical variety in their lives! Still haven't gotten them to appreciate pure classical music but...I'm weaning them into it with metal versions of my favorites!

KEEP BAE SAFE

[lady-charinette]

What are your hopes for the new BMFM reboot? Me personally I'm hoping we get the original cast of main trio. I also hope we get the backstory on how the bros met and became freedom fighters? No cat aliens, more stoker, rimfire and carbine.

Ohh I like your ideas! I also really wish the main cast stays, and that they'll flesh out the Plutarkians more and maybe introduce the "big bad" of the story that's even worse than the Plutarkians.

keep the episode format as the old one from the 93 version, but also have "filler" episodes where it shows the bro's adjusting a bit to Earth (Martians are a similar society to humans, but not the SAME, so it would've been cool to see the bro's struggling more in fitting in, kids being scared of them at first, people going at them with pitchforks until Charley helps them befriend the community)

Local human biker gangs having rivalries and befriending the bro's. Throttle, Vinnie and Modo became something of the "resident" biker gang in Charley's neighborhood, but there are always peeps not unlike the Pit Boss who challenges them and causes trouble

Charley's family checking in on her from time to time, surprise visits where Charley is freaking out how to either A) hide three huge macho mice from her old parents or B) introduce them as gently as possible to them (the ep centers around Charley trying to have the Biker Mice on their best behavior, dressed impeccably, but the lesson is that her parents only start liking them when the bro's are themselves and they saved Charley's parents from Limburger's evil schemes)

Rimfire visiting often or staying for longer periods of time, cue flashbacks to Modo's past, the past of Throttle and Vinnie in general bc we know next to nothing about their lives before they joined the Freedom Fighters

Carbine's POV before and after she has a video call with Throttle, how she organizes and trains the Freedom Fighters, her own struggles as a female war general

Stoker finding his place again as a tactician and strategist, helping the mice deliver and transport supplies. Coming to Earth to gather materials, wrestle with Throttle, Vinnie and Modo and flirt with Charley

Charley's friends coming over, one half being in awe of Martians and their culture and in general other species, while the other half just drools over the bro's

Maybe a potential love interest for Modo? Tho that's not really necessary (just since Throttle and Vinnie have one). Maybe a nice woman working at an animal shelter or so

Catatonians find some other planet to terrorize or one of Limburger's machines hits/affects the Catatonian's and they're turned into normal house cats and transported to Earth to never cause harm again. The end :P

Charley (together with a doctor friend of her's) invents a bionic eye that acts as a heat sensor and sort of replaces Throttle's field specs. Throttle requests to just "upgrade" one of his eyes, he's grown so used to the shades and he would feel like he cheated on his bros if he was the only one to get his disability completely fixed

Their bikes being more sentient and showing distinctive personalities. Lil' Hoss already has a name and a certain temperament, but Throttle and Vinnie's bikes don't really

New weapons systems, maybe the bros having secondary weapons they could fall back to if fists/guns aren't the answer

Limburger going on vacation for some time, but when he returns some other sleazy villain tries to terrorize the Biker Mice instead of him. He goes ballistic and teams up with the Biker Mice to drive out the other guy. He's the only alien that can cause havoc in Chicago!

You know, with all this excitement about BMFM making a comeback. Do you have any headcanons about everyone favorite mechanic- Charley girl?

Charley prefers to work with vintage cars more than motorcycles. There's so many cool things you can do with a vintage car - fixing up the body, playing with color, getting the motor to purr while keeping it as classic as possible. Motorcycles are great and the guys' bikes are incredible - there's so many engineering possibilities - but vintage cars have a level of difficulty that keeps her challenged.

She will never, ever tell any of the guys this. For obvious reasons.

Charley has family out in Wisconsin - she's that relative that decided to head out of state. They have a yearly get-together in the middle of summer to catch up on old times. The Davidson family is aware of the 'boys' keeping her busy in Chicago. She's staved off describing them thus far.

This woman has arms for days. Car parts are heavy and you can't drop them without paying a couple hundred for another one - it's either carry them or hire somebody else and Charley Davidson was not raised a wimp. The only reason the guys used to view her as fragile is because none of them had ever so much as wrestled her. That woman can throw a punch if she feels like this.

Somewhere in the shop there is a desk that is supposedly used for organization, files, accounting, all that good stuff. There's more sticky notes than surface. The computer monitor has a heavy butt. Dig deep enough and there's a journal from 3 years ago half-way scribbled through. It gives Throttle the biggest headache to look at the damn mess - how Charley hasn't messed up tax season is a miracle.

Surprises for the guys are her love-language. They're good side projects and the guys do so much for the city, this is her way of supporting the fellas. A full-body dryer. Upgrades for the bikes. That decades old computer has a coding program to set up communication to Mars. It's a work in progress but Charley has high hopes.

Before the guys got to Earth, Charley was a bit rougher on the edges. Being a mechanic who is a woman while dealing with a major company harassing her to buy her property is enough to make a stone-wall out of anybody. The guys saved her in more than one way.

Vinnie is the guy that breaks her out of her comfort zone. Yes he is annoyingly reckless but damn if doesn't work. There's always a chance for adventure every day because he makes it an adventure every day.

As much as she hates it, Throttle can read her like a book. Any time she is in a funk, Throttle is the guy to pull her to the side and probe about what's up. Sometimes, sitting in silence while something's on the radio helps.

Modo. Modo is the biggest sweetheart. The best one for hugs. Have you seen those arms, that chest?! Disrespectful. Charley would be remiss to not seek out physical affection when she is feeling down from the best hugger around.

Charley is pretty casual about physical affection. Kisses on the cheek and hugs are things to be shared with close friends. Gift giving and physical affection are her love language.
