updated ref for Jacques Ivoor! wardrobe ref coming soon, so you can get a look at his tits & tats ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[artsydudejude]

If you are still doing sketchbook stuff, maybe some ivoor expressions?

[artsydudejude]

here are some half-baked tat ideas for tommy and ivoor, plus a little ankle tat that i assigned to phin's pre-kevin corpse bod. its plot-relevant, i promise.

while the vote for my upcoming stream's time frame is going, here's one more relevant poll:

still working my way through a million wips ಥ_ಥ

calamity watch villains I have so far:

jacques ivoor, the hippo-man poacher you all know and love

the iron maiden, a revamp of a character I made at age 10. can turn into living metal and morph her flesh into blades. still on the fence about the vibes i want for her; I've previously drawn her as a dastardly meta-villain but recently I've been tempted to make her more melodramatic and medieval-themed.

urias ashworth, turn-of-the-century occultist/mystic and braggart's former wielder.

killawasp, a thrill-seeking menace in a mechanized bug-suit.

bentley singh, formerly a character from IA but now recycled since that's defunct. basically nothing has changed; he's a stage magician/gentleman thief who uses his psychic powers to enhance his act and hypnotize his audience/marks.

Could we get some random headcanons about Calamity Watch? I love this five-man band

okokok so there's plenty of CW deets that i've got on the backburner, but i'm going to use this ask as an excuse to dump something that i've had on my mind for a bit, and that's what all their respective daemons would be.

now, for the record, i've never actually read HDM, but i've read enough AUs that the concept of daemons has gripped me real hard (particularly in relation to the CW characters, for some reason??? idk why), and i've had these headcanons on the brain for ages.

so yeah, here's those:

nat's daemon is a big brindle pit bull. athletic and lovable!

blythe's is a dumbo rat with a blue irish coat. rats are intelligent and inquisitive lil' guys and also vibe with the wizard-ness.

geiger has a common starling. idk why for sure but for some reason as soon as i saw one i was like "GEIGER." perhaps cus they're chatty and resilient?

rin's is a serow (a kind of goat/antelope). sure-footed, solitary, and accustomed to colder climates.

ken's daemon is a japanese macaque, surprising absolutely no-one. they're super smart and very playful. they're also known for hanging out in hot springs, which compliments ken's powerset.

also, villains!

jacques ivoor keeps his daemon obscured much of the time. many assume it to be his pet cheetah, darling, or one of his many hunting/guard dogs. in reality, she's a tarantula hawk wasp, usually hiding in his pocket or disguised as a piece of jewelry.

bentley singh has an albino mink named rajni, both in regular canon and as his hypothetical daemon.

more to be added as i think of them???

🖊+ Jacques Ivoor

in addition to his exotic taste in furs, ivory, and other items taken from his kills, he also keeps several exotic pets. he has a private aviary that is home to many rare parrots and raptors, as well as a flock of oxpeckers used for personal grooming purposes. he keeps several trained dogs (mainly rhodesian ridgebacks) for guarding and hunting, and a pet cheetah named Darling. there's also a marmoset, a mandrill (who is VERY vicious), and a big ol' python, among others.

most of them live permanently in enclosures on any one of his several properties, but Darling comes with him nearly everywhere, along with at least one dog to keep her company.

Can you talk a bit more about Calamity Watch's villains

i've already spoken about the iron maiden and jacques ivoor, and written out some outlines for a few other villains, but since then i've only solidified one other villain character:

Urias Ashworth was a turn-of-the-century occultist and braggart's former wielder. he collected many magical items in addition to braggart, and through his own hubris he became trapped within some other cursed doohicky and stayed there for a good hundred years before blythe accidentally freed him.

while he is no longer tied to braggart, he still possesses some occult magics that make him quite formidable. on the downside, he doesnt know jack shit about the modern world, which puts him at a sometimes comedic disadvantage.

[artsydudejude]

Any ideas for the rogues gallery?

so far, the established characters that i'm gonna use as villains in calamity watch are Jacques Ivoor, the Iron Maiden, Jerahmeel (that creepy angel character that i never found a place for), and possibly a handful of other unassigned ocs.

some villains that i plan on making but haven't designed/named yet are:

some sort of darkness/stealth-themed mercenary, possibly as a moral foil to nat.

a former wielder of braggart, woken up from extended magical sleep and dead-set on getting his book back. i want his aesthetics to echo aleister crowley and turn-of-the-century occultism/spiritualism in general, and have other sources of power aside from braggart that make him dangerous without it. perhaps a collector of similar enchanted objects.

a shitty rich-guy villain, maybe.
