What do the glowing things on their heads mean is it like Japanese or something??

The things on their faces aren’t Japanese. They’re dish tattoos. A symbol of the Dish Race. Usually a series of geometric shapes that’s unique to each Dish. Traditionally a dish gets one at the age of 18 as like a right of passage. It’s not exactly tied to the Calix Animi or anything, but any knights you’d come across, no matter how few there are, they all have one.

There’s not too much meaning behind the different shapes. Tho it’s not uncommon for partners, friends, siblings, or couples to have a somewhat similar pattern or maybe a specific shape that looks similar to another’s. 🤷🏻

Proper, authentic tattoos, ones done by official dish tattoo artists, will glow whenever a dish’s magic is activated. Demitasse and Cannikin, obviously have authentic tattoos. Cuphead and Mugman however, do not. They tried to find a dish artist who could do real dish tattoos but couldn’t find one without possibly endangering them because of their connections with the Devil. So they went to a regular tattoo artist to get one done as a symbol to themselves of their ancestry and humanity.

The two of them have gone through so much; being ripped from their home at Inkwell, forcibly trained and raised by a demon, they’ve had limbs replaced by cyberware, various questionable programming of said cyberware, Cuphead had the demon blood put in his head that messed with his soul, just to name a few. The dish tattoo to them serves as a reminder that throughout everything they’ve gone through, they are still dishes. Not monsters.

Here’s a little drawing I’ve made of their Dish Tattoos. Hope this answers your question! And thanks for the ask!

I wanna shake it up a little

Robot and sports AU?

Didn’t know who it was for so I just winged it!

1. 👁 Robot AU: Made this purely for Mugman and Sloane content- basically the same cept in a more futuristic setting. Sloane is a young mechanic who’s business in repairs has been down as a result of AI’s filling those roles. She eventually caved in and got her own AI assistant; Mugman! They both work to get her old business up and running (and Mugman begins to realize he’s beginning to develop more “sentient” feelings towards his friend)

2.⚾️ Sports AU: I deadass had no idea what to do for this. I’m completely dense on sports. So you all get the first thing that came to my head; Soccer Mom Devil AU. Newsie’s star player for the Imps soccer team and Devil is as always their very supportive (albeit eccentric) father. He gets into a lot of arguments with the coaches and other parents (with Newsie in the back just wanting to melt into the ground) but he does have the best intentions. His main grievance though is Newsie’s budding relationship with her teammate: Cuphead.

Old design - current design

An old, old Cuphead OC I came up with and touched up after about five years. Just wanted to fix him up, not really going to use him

[marinerainbow]

'Slap my pickle' would that mean I can slap him since he's all pickle? XD

I love how he could have very easily gotten stick legs, but your cousin gave him three fingers to walk on. I want to dive into that and figure out if it's part of his wizard lore, like did he screw up a spell or something? XD

My cousin had a brilliant idea for a cuphead boss so I drew him his name is Killock He scuttles along on his 3 toes with his hotpink wizard hat and two beard hairs that he so proudly wears. He shoots lasers from his titties and vinegar from his wand for the boys to slip in. (not pictured.) His iconic phrase is "slap my pickle and give me a tickle" and it's enough to make you freeze in terror (but being his death screen message, you're already dead) He farts mustard gas, which is quite fitting for the timeline.

I absolutely adored @firecurls-27’s idea of What If Chalice Was Adopted By Other DLC Bosses? and I decided to do that with the cupbros!

More info about these designs:

King’s Leap Prince Cup and Prince Mug were taken in by the King and Queen of games and raised to be proper Gamemasters. However, Prince Cup found he liked participating in the games way more than controlling them, and rebelled, living a double life. Every night he sneaks out and lives with the Mice, enjoying their jovial parties. Little does he know they’re planning to overthrow and execute the Queen. Mugman knows of his brother’s secret, but won’t give him away. However, he is very suspicious of the Mice, and isn’t afraid to go to any lengths to protect his kingdom. Where will each brother find their loyalties lies, and will they figure it out before it’s too late?

Esther Winchester Two Shots and Ten Gallon are the West’s most fearsome nogoodniks. Two Shots is small, rough, and rowdy, and has a shorter fuse than Mama Esther’s dynamite, but he’s an eagle eye capable of shooting a gold coin from across the town. Ten Gallon runs his Mama’s spaghetti saloon, but don’t be fooled by his more passive demeanor: he’s a professional con artist with more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Ten Gallon constantly worries Two Shots is gonna end up being picked by vultures in a ditch with his attitude, but there’s no stopping the sharpest shooter in the Isles… right?

Moonshine Mob Big Cup and Mugsy Smiles are actually raised by different members of the Mob, so they’re more distant than other Cupheads and Mugmen. Big Cup was taken under the Snail’s proverbial wing and Mugsy Smiles was adopted by Charlie and Lightbug. Big Cup is pretty tough and never takes no guff from nobody, but he feels pretty lonely in the mob. He has respect, but no real friends. He stuck the antennae into his hat to feel a bit more part of the family (just don’t ask where he got the antennae from). Mugsy Smiles, meanwhile, is more of an entertainer. He can play many instruments, he can sing, and he can dance. He’s not afraid to get his dirty in the real whiskey business, though. Big Cup and Mugsy Smiles don’t really connect the dots that they’re brothers, but they both feel like something is missing from their past…

Glumstone Cuppy and Muggy are beloved by the gnomes. Cuppy has gotten a real knack for mining and loves the shiniest of ores and gems. He even uses gold to fix cracks in his skin. Muggy tends to growing the Gnomeberry gardens, making sure they’re as bright and juicy as possible. Being raised how they were, they picked up many more talents, including storytelling, making every sentence a rhyme, and of course, mountain climbing. In fact, Porkrind often recalls the tale of how they rescued his beloved wife from her demise in the snowy hills. And every summer, when the happy campers dare to venture through the mountains, they may get to sneak a peek of the two tallest gnomes in the Isle…

Mortimer Freeze Cold Cup and Snow Milk, aka the Ice Cream Brothers, are not to be trifled with. The most powerful magicians in the Isles, their combined magic is said to be strong enough to freeze over Hell itself. Cold Cup uses Ice Cream and similarly delicious frozen treats to lure in new members, while Snow Milk… deals with them. Details in their design I’m proud of? Cold Cup has a Pentacle in his hat while Snow Milk has a Sword necklace. Pentacles are the replacement for Diamonds in Tarot, and Swords are the replacement for Spades.

Howling Aces Cast and Mike (named after “C” and “M” in the RAF Radiophonic alphabet, respectively) were raised as Yankee Yippers to be the new Top Dogs of the Howling Aces. Cast, who takes more after Hugo Bulldog — and even has the same bones tattoo to prove it — is serious and well-trained soldier. Mike, who has a more natural love of aeroplanes and leadership, takes more after Sargent O’Fera. However, Mike has a long-standing rivalry with local boy genius Canteen Hughes, who seems to have a bone to pick with the Aces, for some reason. Guess he and Mugman can’t be best friends in every universe…

Brennan snapping that wand and going "Killing her". Chills. Totally where I saw this funny episode going when we started out with Evans dong flopping in the breeze. That vibe just kept on going with no sudden frightening shifts. We have seven more episodes of this. This was supposed to be fun, Aabria!

He didn't even start a new sentence! He just added a clause to the sentence Aabria was already saying! He modified the GM's sentence!!!!

Anyway, I am LOVING the tone this season so far. I was cracking up at the video I saw of Aabria saying, "This season is a comedy in the way that The Bear is a comedy. Technically."

And it really has the vibes of when you get later into a book series that started off really whimsical but now you're like on the last 2-3 books and everything is sadder and angstier and more dire--except taken to it's logical and least whimsical conclusion. Big fan of following through on the promises of your world building.

And also, we still have stuff like a chill, magical goat putting a Cuphead style tattoo on Evan's ass so you know, she's still getting her comedy points lol. As long as the show keeps its heart (which it for sure is with the interpersonal stuff between the pilot program) and doesn't go full grimdark (which it def isn't--it's still a hopeful show within the darkness) I'm happy with how things are going.

“MORE BENDYSTRAW HCS” the bendystraw shippers chant in unison

You shall be fed my children

•cuphead has tattoos and let’s Bendy color them

•if one of them starts making a weird noise the other will start making the same noise

•bendy is too shy to give cuphead kisses when he’s awake so he does it while he’s asleep (cup is awake and is pretending to sleep but bendy doesn’t know it)

•bendy likes to caress cups scars and hear how he got them

•when cuphead decided to confess he was originally gonna wait for few days cause bendy was dealing with some magic issues and wasn’t supposed to have any big shocks or problems to not disturb his magic But while they were hanging out on the roof cuphead was just listening to bendy ramble on about something and blurred out ”stars I’m in love with you” on accident It shocked bendy so much his magic knocked him out cold for 24 hours

•if they were in the Morden area they constantly send each other cat videos saying ‘us’

•cuphead showed bendy tricks on a yo-yo and was bit embarrassed at first but bendy was amazed at it

•bendy wears cupheads shirts especially if he has to leave for a mission (he misses him)

Yeah they're based off of tea cups!

It was actually really hard to find tea cups that would match them😭

Art dump!!

[popfizzles]

Is Val's carving on her handle basically a tattoo but for cups?

Yeah, I always assumed tattoos for cups would be either carvings or decorative stain/paint. Val got her carving the same day Boba had their tongue pierced.

I thought about giving Cuphead a small Diamond carving on his wrist (which would be hidden by his gloves anyway), but 🤔 decided against it. Not sure Elder Kettle would approve of it...

[drumcanister]

cuphead with a constellation tattoo behind his ear (if he were human)

[one-and-a-half-yikes]

Everytime I see someone post their Cuphead human design I am reminded I never did a full body one for the Cupbros

Unfortunately the design is them being Polynesian, so ya know...✨️research✨️

I haven't decided if I'm giving them tattoos or not. Actually I might for Demitasse and Cuphead because I think they would 100%

I did post head shots of the Cup fam on here btw

It's on here...somewhere...

[nude-druid]

This is a very random question, is the tattoo under your arm from Cuphead? It just caught my eye in a recent pic

It is, cuphead and mugman, and them intertwined in the middle like a 3D drawing. Even tho it's not 3D because they are different. My design and my 1st tattoo 😊

[inkwell-intrigues]

Hey Miss.

I'd like to say that I love your work. Can I use one of your pics as tatoo? I was thinking of use the one of Cuphead shooting with his finger up alongside Mugman's blue eyes

Oh my gosh OF COURSE!!! Please send me a picture of it after it’s tattooed!!! I’d literally cry!
