Welcome, Little Western (and Kani), to “When the Sun Shines on A New Hope”! While there were a couple less characters to work with compared to the Tidmouth Sheds Family, it was really fun coming up with designs for all of them! I think my most favorite would be Donald and Douglas, but honestly, I love just about all of them. 💚

Nonetheless, I can happily say that their ask box is officially open, as is their character bio page! So, feel free to drop on by to ask a question for any of them or the Tidmouth Shed Family!

As for any other plans down the line, I hear there’s a final batch of people living nearby a lake and waterfall…

Update! (Plus a Sneak Peek)

Hello, hello, my dear friends! This is Miss Kani, and I am excited to give an announcement! The character bios for the Tidmouth Sheds Family are officially updated, which means that their ask box is officially open! So, feel free to go ahead and send in some of your questions while I work on adding more characters into the roster! 💙

On another note, the sneak peek is actually going to be an interesting one! See, back then a few years ago, I made a brakevan character that was based on my username, and I have officially decided to bring her back as a character in this human AU! She’ll also be among the roster of characters that can receive asks, so be on the lookout! In the meantime, I’ve doodled up some small things relating to her. She’s a really sweet girl who gets easily flustered, but nonetheless, she’s pretty capable at her job!

These are all just pen doodles for now, but I’ll definitely be able to draw her with color! I didn’t really base her design off of a specific style, but she just really likes skirts and the combination of cute and fancy but also comfortable. So yeah, that’s all I got to give for the sneak peek!

Stay safe, everybody, and see you all next time with your asks and when the sun shines over the Little Western! 💚🖤🤍

Toad Sketches

Hello, hello, my dear friends, and welcome back to “When the Sun Shines on a New Hope”! Today in the concept shed where I just draw random sketches and concepts of characters in the human AU, I decided to whip up some sketches of Toad, who is just such a cinnamon roll. He’s polite, likes singing, even saved a whale… what’s not to love? :D

So, when coming up with designs for my humanized Toad, I thought it would be kinda cute to make him wear an outfit inspired by a butler of sorts, since he’s a really polite little guy who refers to everyone as “Mister” or “Miss”. The cloak is there for cuteness points since he loves to be cozy.

At first, I wasn’t too sure what to do with him having lamps, but I eventually came up with a solution where he just does carry them around (plus he does eventually give one of them away). Other accessories such as the ribbon he wears around his neck and his whale plushie are gifts from his best friend Oliver. When the Little Western found out about Toad’s ribbon, they all decided to make a system where their ribbons match Toad on a certain day depending on who he accompanies (usually, he’s seen with either Oliver or Douglas). Also fun fact that the whale plushie is now a thing after he decided to find a plan to save a whale.

Oh yeah, in case anyone was wondering about the extent of Oliver and Toad’s relationship in this human AU, they are an item. They’ve been best friends ever since they were children, and that ended up extending into the present days of the AU. While Oliver can be busy due to his novice detective work, Toad absolutely does what he can to keep himself busy and wait for Oliver’s eventual return at the end of the day. Sometimes, Oliver even lets Toad tag along on some of his investigations, since Toad can pick up some hard-to-notice details that would be crucial for a case. Overall, Toad is just an adorable ball of sunshine. 🖤
