Here’s my first progress post with one of the unshaded sprites I’m making for the video!

Hell yeah we're over halfway done! Isn't that crazy? I don't have too much to say here sooooooo onto the usual stuff

Designs under the cut!

VRISKA:

Vriska has an extra set of arms that they can retract and extract whenever they please. However, they usually keep those arms hidden.

The long needle she's holding is her trusty sword that she's used since her pirate days. She doesn't use it as much as she used too, but it's good to keep it on her for self defense in case of an emergency.

The marks on thier neck and shoulders aren't tattoos, they're birthmarks.

Good at sewing, as she often would have to fix her coat after getting into epic pirate sword fights. Sara and Vriska are sewing buddies!

It is unknown why they're unable to sleep, but while the rest of the team sleeps they often find themselves wandering around and doing whatever they want.

Artist's note: I based Vriska's design off the fact that I wanted to make her look like a bootleg version of the og Vriska. As in "Hey that's Vriska" but also "That's not VRISKA" if you get what I mean

MALL BINGO:

Trained herself to become resistant to poison (and by "trained" I mean she just ate a bunch of poison until her body became almost immune to it... please don't try this at home.)

Often goes scavenging for items when she's doesn't feel like robbing someone. If she's lucky enough she'll find some good items scattered around because "stupid trainers often leave good shit on the ground for some reason" (due to all the items you can pick up from the ground ingame lmao)

Mal lost her leg in one of her first heists, after she and another pawmi tried stealing from the wrong person at the worst possible time.

The gun she keeps with her wasn't originally hers, it belongs to someone else.

On a more positive note, Mal has plenty of stories and tall tales to share. She learned them from the eldest in her little pawmi group, as they would often tell her stories before going to sleep. Mal will often share those same stories with Peppy Jr and Mykyie Jr.

Can and will bite you. You won't be expecting it. Be warned.

GRUNPILO:

Due to his abundantly long hair, Grunpilo often lets Mal play around with it and style it however she wants.

It is unknown how or why he picked up on puppetry specifically, but it makes him happy so who are we to judge?

Speaking of which, he creates his own puppets by hand, from simple sock puppets to marionettes on strings. The two hand puppets shown are his favorite ones though.

Sometimes he'll be found speaking to them as if they're real.

Not good in social situations or confrontation, so Mal will sometimes have to speak for him. ("EXCUSE ME! He asked for no pickles!" /ref)

EXTREMELY light, very easy to pick up.

And that's all! Only three more batches left woo, hopefully I can finish them by the end of the year lol.

See yall on the 18th on Saltydkdans youtube streaming for next season of friendlocke! i cant wait to see you again!

[mirroroftheworld]

[sweet-herba-mystica-archive]

this is what I get for getting attached to literally tiny pokemon

[ivefallenforyouandicantgetup]

I’m still sad that he abandoned the canon Elmo voice :(

SALTY PLEASE XUBWKXHSUHXHZ

[saltydkdan]

Hey salty,

First of all, really big fan of your work.

Second, in this frame, I know that the right and middle boisonas are Jay and Mal, but is the left one Joe? If so why is he drawn like that?

Again I'm a big fan and excited for this friendlocke season.

Yes, the tall one is indeed Joe. As for why he looks so different to all the other Boisonas:

I initially designed him as a gag very late at night because Joe didn't have an avatar for my videos. I thought it would be hilarious if he looked VASTLY different than everyone else and well... he became that. Here's the original drawing I made of him, plus a comparison of the final design next to the others.

BONUS BECAUSE I WANNA SHARE: Here's a Pastey redesign I plan to implement into HYHA eventually (alongside a design for Forrest)

Mal Sprite Test

They’re a little bit janky, and some are a little off model with others, but I’m happy with them so far. This isn’t all of them, but I just wanted to see how it would look to make a simple expression loop as a test

[mintellio]

wanna revive my tumblr a bit so have an artfight attack i did!! very excited for season 3!!

[gaystropod]

Idk why maybe i just wasnt in the right mindset watching it but like. Friendlocke s3 is so much less memorable or interesting then s1 and 2. I feel like non of the characters stand out, they dont feel like they have any interpersonal connections like they did in the last seasons and instead of feeling like characters they feel like gimmicks. And while theres rlly nothing deep about gerbers asa is s1 its iconic to his character and feels organic rather then forced and while when u thinm of s1 gerber ur mostly thinking haha funny ass dog ur also remembering rhe rivalry with mal and other ways he interacted with people around him. None of the bits in s3 are as memerable as the prior seasons either like the only ongoing joke i can think of off the top of my head is lemonade and i watched this thing literallt earlier today. Nothing in s3 has anywhere near the comedic power of pete ness cut scenes and none of the characters are particularly memerable. Lark? Yeah he was 16 and grimaces son or something but he died too early. Sara? Uhm i actually have nothing i could say about this character. Mykyie? Yeah i had alot i could say at the start when i was watching the streams as they came out and everything had so much potential but like.. he died too early. Characters tbat seemed liek theyd be really fun at the start faded into regularity like grunpillo, he came out sad and pathetic 'youd be sad too if you were a ground penis' but like lost that character trait almost immediately. Blorpoido and vriska arent given enough time for their gimmicks to become interesting or memorable and even characters like cookie who were distinctive and had more time didnt have any kind of the impact say s2 mal or coach coz or characters like that had. Even The Lark who has like 40 minutes total screen time in the vods and barely exists in the final cut is more memorable to me then like any of the s3 characters. Idk but this season felt like they were trying too hard rather then just being a group of friends being silly and playing pretend. Like even the lore heavy moments in s1 and 2 were alot more organic bc they were spawned out of like jokes and silliness like celestial tower was there to shock salty bc he didnt know they had added that. Like i love friendlocke and i think the people participating in it are genuinely some of the most hilarious and talented people on the internet but idk s3 didnt do it for me

Artfight attack for @bubbled-tea-dreams of Mama Mal (featuring Joe) from Friendlocke

[aeroartwork43o9]

wanting to send love and good vibes your way and hope in the next friendlock ya don't get shafted with a meme pokemon!

Despite that your apperances are always a delight and Grunpillo fucks!

Awww. Thank you so much. Honestly I find my luck at the end of the day really funny. Considering Mal got like all the perfect choices for her mons and I got a shitty bug and a full dick and balls could only happen too me. Kind of a weird ying yang going on there. but despite me having trouble with my characters and pulling my weight in friendlocke. It makes me really happy too know that I still made people happy and stood out too them. Universe has too give me a good one next time for sure. (Also calling my death and getting hit by a car is really freaking funny)

New friendlocke post later today hopefully lmao
