Crookles? Crocodiles ? Creek doodles ? Croodles?

ive been seeing ideas for crooklings (sales assistants/surrogate children similar to the nooklings - also called “reddlings,” but i prefer the name “crooklings”) for redd drifting about and i kinda LOVE the concept !!! so i couldn’t help but draw my own concepts for the idea... or maybe four concepts. cuz there’s so many interesting ways to take the idea and i love them all so much.

concept 1: fox twins paralleling the nookling twins. fraternal twins ruby and rusty, named after two shades of red that start with the letter R. admittedly, the idea of them being boy-girl fraternal twins is inspired by gravity falls. i love the memes comparing redd to grunkle stan, lmao. and i had almost decided against naming ruby, well, ruby, because i know there’s already the villager ruby... but then i remembered animal crossing has literally three different characters named tom and two different characters named hazel, so, you know what? its fine.

i also kinda wanted to stick to the “similar but slightly altered color scheme” thing the nooks got going on - have you noticed the nooklings fur is slightly lighter colored than tom’s fur? well i thought it’d be interesting if the crooklings fur were slightly DARKER colored than redd’s fur, plus fox kits irl seem to be slightly browner than adults, and i thought it’d be fun if they had brown-tipped ears like redd does in the ac ova (contrast to the white he has in the games)

concept 2: fox triplets paralleling the nookling twins. rubens, reynolds and renoir, named after three famous painters whose names started with the letter R. you may be wondering, why triplets? well, redd lives and works from a boat, like a certain... popular disney duck...? in fact, the creation of HDL was directly inspired by the existence of mickey mouse’s own twin nephews - the idea being that three nephews instead of just two would cause more problems. since the concept of redd being given little underlings is inspired by the existence of the nooklings, and redd causes problems, it’s something that i think would suit him.

one triplet is lazy and uninvolved, one is excitable but aimless, and one is methodical and efficient... but which one is which? not even redd can tell.

concept 3: different species assistant. there’s so many directions to take this idea, but i am admittedly fond of the idea of a little red panda working for/with a red fox. i’ve seen this specific idea around a bit, and it’s cute... red squad. for this specific design i’m thinking russ as a name - it means “little red one!” :D

concept 3.5: KITTENS?! redd’s technically a kitsune, right? so what if... he took in... another yokai that is known for its multiple tails??  for these two i’m considering derailing from the R themes to name them... scarlett and smudge! both named after semi-famous cats in popular culture. scarlett being a shade of red, and smudge being a word that can apply to paint... but the latter’s namesake had also been a cat who worked at a museum. how appropriate.

could you imagine if they all existed at once? redd’s got an army of babies, ha ha! (maybe someday i’d like to draw redd being surrounded by every single crookling design i can find? though i don’t know if it’s feasible)

First worded interaction with a spirit:

He called my cat Crookshanks “Crookle” which I’m still wheezing about

Talked to him about music, confronted him about turning on my stereo all the time and waking me up, he apologized as he thought I was asleep. 

Talked to Him about cats, ferrets and potoos, linked him pictures of potoos.
