@theblueskyphoenix's post reminded me that I, too, once tried to draw the Magmatic skins in DST, and made me want to do it again. Well, Wilson, anyways. This is her design, though, it's cooler. I haven't drawn this dude in a few years, I hope I remembered how pfft

Forge 1 was where it was at. I also thought this particular set of skins was kinda boring

Here are the old ones, from 2018 lmao, for comparison. I only got as far as Wilson and Webber. The above drawing is from last night

I strongly agree with this take!

And since we're talking about how the characters would rule the world in Maxwell's place, let me give some of my ideas, alongside potential skin changes.

Here's a couple entries of other characters if they were potentially to run the constant their own way:

Willow would absolutely be the kind of person who would spring life in just to destroy it later. She has to every once and a while create new stuff, it doesn't have to look good, as long as it's flammable! And of course the fire she'd cause would probably last waaay longer than it does normally, and it would take much longer for the structures to be completely destroyed before the flame gave out. I really like the hair they did for her in her triumphant skin, because she's DEFINITELY have that sort of thing going on, buut then again, she's just cosplaying as Charlie but in a puffier dress. I think she'd wear something much more chaotic.

While I think her top part would stay similar to her triumphant, her bottom part would need more color, more FIRE kind of similar to her Magmatic skin but with much more razzmatazz, and the skirt would actually be 24/7 fire effect, as would be her hair. She'd love it that way. Also her hair could probably switch between being actual fire (perhaps whenever she's excited or angered) and the nightmare fuel one.

WX-78

would probably build a robot army and I'd like to imagine they'd use one of their scrapped skins as either a mech or their brand new, better body. (They'd likely make themself into a stronger type of metal so they might potentially change color, depending on the metal's properties)

They'd also add a ton of weapons, firearms and spikes to look extra menacing and tall. (As any 4'10 person dreams of I'm sure) Their version of the constant would just be a mine field full of machines 0% organic plants, all mechanical mock-ups, and instead of water, the lakes and ocean would be filled with either tar, gasoline or oil, anything that's actually beneficial to machines. They'd also build a lot of obnoxious statues of themselves as Maxwell does.

Wickerbottom

Not sure if she'd wear so much black but she could potentially make herself appear younger (ditch the black hair, shed make herself ginger again, or stay grey) I don't really have many complaints against her outfit except that it could perhaps use more white or grey. She'd definitely keep the feathers though, that part suits her well and she doesn't seem to complain about wearing fine clothes.

And about her ruling; She'd make the constant into her personal library, build a couple of statues of herself since this exists.

She'd probably make the area appear more elegant and maybe victorian, honestly I think she'd have a similar taste to Charlie, but with her nerdy addons. Books will be everywhere. Of any kind about pretty much anything. She'd probably occasionally show up to the player and give them some kind of interesting fact before dissapearing into nothingness. Now that doesn't mean she would develop a sadistic side, anyone corrupted by Them would, I'm sure.

She'd likely punish those who avoid reading her books, or make her books especially hypnotizing so once you start reading you won't stop until you're finished with the last page. So for example If you pick up a book while starving, fighting or running you'd be screwed potentially. She'd also make notes of your progress and tell you that she's making a title about you. Similar to Wilson shed put you into specific experimental situations to make her book more interesting. And you should know very well that authors can be quite vicious to their characters. :)

Wolfgang

would make himself ridiculously muscular I'm sure, ditch that shirt and belt, maybe he'd just wear speedos and flex all the time, other times he'd go back to his era as a war vet and look like a commanding officer. He'd make the survivors go through a military endurance training, turning the whole world into one hellish gym. He'd probably brag to the survivor that he can do it, so why can't they?

On the plus side, food would be plentiful. There would be patches of land to farm, and beasts to hunt too, but you'd have to survive a full course of training to get to them first.

Webber

would obviously fill the world with spiders. Any kind of spiders, every surface would be covered in webs. He'd make the area a fun playground for spiders, but a misery to everyone else. Maybe he's unaware of it, maybe They made him enjoy watching others struggle. He'd probably add in other creatures but they'd all be lower on the food chain than spiders.

And I'm not too sure about him being a black widow, since they're not even as deadly to humans, as they're rumored. So how about making him even more deadly, say a Funnel web Spider? (Would show the image here, but I don't want to startle any arachnophobes so you can search them up yourself) Now, the pattern on their back might not be as iconic as the red hour glass, but their venom is certainly much more deadly, and they're said to be more aggressive. One chomp from Webber and you'd be sent to the purgatory.

Wormwood

while I'm not sure if he'll cope well with being on the shadow side, so I'm going to give two alternatives. One if he were to become corrupted by the nightmare throne, and other if he were to come into ruling on the light side.

Triumphant wormwood is honestly a very fitting skin for him so no complaints there, he's a rotten, carnivorous plant, he both looks and feels miserable (plus he already sticks out from the rest of triumphunt skins) so naturally, he would make the world as rotten and miserable as he himself is. The world would be covered in vines and thorns, plants would rot quickly, so harvests would be few and far in between, the most sufficient way to get food is to hunt mobs. Although most mobs would also be carnivorous plants, so the main source of food would be plant meat that's also likely stale.

His throneroom would all be just thorny vines with a few evil flowers here and there. Vines would hang from the ceiling which would likely strangle you if you made the wrong move. They would do that if you were to try and free him from the throne.

On the other hand, if he were to go into god mode as a being of light, the way he is. It honestly depends on his mental state to be honest, but knowing Them, he'd crack eventually or 'realize' his purpose, so in that case, the world would all be Alter themed, everything would be lunar plants and moon rocks. The nature would be plentiful, ghastalts would roam freely, and every night would be a full moon night. Shadows would be extremely rare in this world since the player would constantly be in a state of enlightenment. Even the caves would be mostly lit up by magical plants and flying mutated creatures. Wormwood would not allow a single shade to escape him, since Alter says shadows are bad, therefore they must go away. Though I imagine such world would look rather intriguing, all encased in a moon glass terrarium basically.

Skin wise I think his moonbound does the job just fine, bringing him back to his roots.

And that's all the character ideas I have atm. It's honestly fun imagining how these guys would dress and rule the world.

Ok this may be me being pedantic BUT

Something's always bugged me about the Triumphant Skins. They're supposedly the survivors if they had the opportunity to rule the Constant (minus Maxwell) or something along those lines. And for those most part, they do a good job of it.

But you cannot tell me that Wilson would run it like Maxwell did and dress in a fancy suit that (if you go by his Guest of Honor skin and quote) he'd likely hate.

If Wilson was in charge of the Constant, there's no way he wouldn't treat the place like his own personal science experiment. Studying the behavior of humans under stressful conditions and deadly situations? That would be a goldmine of data for any aspiring scientist of the era.

TLDR Wilson's Hallowed Nights skin is a better fit for a Triumphant skin instead of him cosplaying as Maxwell.

Don’t Starve Aesthetic:

                     Magmatic Skins

[chemsaway]

Snow & Magma 

[mayabunny23]

Wilson - I do not like the outfit they gave Wilson here, it looks uninteresting and bland. I'd preferred if they gave him a different outfit that fits with what they were aiming for. (What I mean is like a lab coat that's got crystals growing on it or an space man(idk the word)) Willow - I will be honest, I don't like most of the magmatic skins. Some of this is due to the portraits being bright and not really fitting with the others before and after them but for this skin, I just don't like it. Wolfgang - For this skin, its just the portrait doing it dirty. Wolfgang's head looks like a potato stuck on a man's body and its in a bad way. Wendy - Her hair is missing just enough lines where it doesn't feel bland or unfitting (I don't know what I am trying to say here.), the paint on her face needs to be more sketchy as it doesn't fit the style Don't Starve is trying to set. Also, another bright portrait. WX-78 - I don't vibe with the skin, that's it. Wickerbottom - I don't hate this skin, I just don't see myself using it. Woodie - I love this skin but the in-game version of it is just... cluttered? Wes - Another Magmatic Skin, this time I think the outfit is bad but I guess its fitting for him. Maxwell - First one, the MoonBound skin has the same issue as Wilson's skin, the outfit having random rope around his torso is just... idk?? Second one, the wizard skin is just ugly without the hat but its fitting I guess. Wigfrid - Portrait being bad. (It was either this or the halloween one) Webber - It is just a recolour of Webber with spikes slapped onto his hands and legs. Winona - Most of her skins are good! (except the purple one) however I put this one here because it was the first Halloween skin I got. I hate it >:( Warly - Most of his skins are good too! I just picked the carrat one because I wouldn't use it. Wortox - Apparent this skin is his survivour skin, I really don't like that fact at all. Why make him a goblin? Could have kept the shaven look but didn't make him into a goblin? i don't know. Wormwood - As much as I am a wormwood fan and a wormwood skin apologist, I will admit... I don't this skin and the reason why is mostly due to the stem being way too thin for me. Wurt - I love all of Wurt's skins but the in-game for this one is... sad. Walter - It relies on the hat too much so in the end, the skin ends up being slightly lazy looking. (Idk) Wanda - All of her skins are great! I just don't personally see myself using this skin.

DST Fandom, Need Some Data for a Silly Dumb Thing

Put in the tags or replies your least favorite INDIVIDUAL skin(ex. Merry Maker Wilson, Contender WX, ect.).

[cameoappearance]

My goal is to cosplay as many Wilson skins as possible. I've already got default, Guest of Honour and Forge/Gladiator, next I should do Verdant (particularly because I ran out of contact lenses and haven't been able to order more) and Survivor. Maybe Roseate after that, and I'd like to do Triumphant at some point but ugh shoulders ugh stupid pointy elf shoes

[dipndotz]

theyre a 10 but all they talk about is the robot uprising and how theyre going to kill you

[skyistheground]

[artofthestars]

split in two

[that1tvhead]

some dst skin set color schemes I made by color picking torso skins in coolors

made these mainly for having an easier time with designing and coloring custom skins, thought that this might help other ppl too, might make more

yes I'm using these in the clockwork skins

[nightwonder7]

I don’t think there’s going to be any Forge event this year, but that won’t stop me from revisiting the magmatic skins.

Wayne would take on the tank role.
