(1/?) redesigning of my puppet characters. Usually I was a big fan of one Pacific game. You probably heard about it. Showdown bandit. But it started to make these puppies, their own species.

What do you mean by that you may ask? Not by humans, they control on their own And they have a cycle that it’s so bizarre that even batrex would be so confused

Not just that, the mythical creatures and the spirits are also bizarre too.

After posting the redesigns((there’s one, but I wanted to keep as a surprise)) I would explain about these puppets

Kurio, this time!

After making peace with the changes of the world he once knew and his faith's seldom mentioned rough side, the monk Kurio found solace in teaching his fellow Sky children the ways of Light's faith and the occassional adventuring with his sister and their Krill kid best friend. For his efforts, he earned the respect of his twin masters Samekh and their Priestess of a mother Samekh-- As well as the latter's Priestly Pendant, to symbolize his position as the sole living spiritual leader in Horizon.

Though he remained as gentle and cheerful as ever, Kurio is no longer meek; Armed with a new Folding Shield and improvised dominion of air, he will face anything and anyone who threatens the innocent without hesitation.

This isn’t art, but I thought it'd be fun to share my Cirque du Soleil inspired Halloween costumes from past years (and this year)

Do you think they’ll also upload the new “Skispringen kurios” on ARD mediathek as they did it with the first one

I'm still practicing my human faces, but at least I was able to draw Bella Donna from Cirque Du Soleil's show Kurios!

A minute of Empire Moths as vines

I wish I could make this longer but I got burned out in the end :" STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THIS SILLY FANFIC CHANGED THE CHEMICALS OF MY BRAIN FOREVER

To my fellow creative, my inspiration, and my dearest friend, @dogedepan I wish I was better at words and birthday wishes. But I'm not. It's hard for me to express sometimes just how much weight and importance you hold in my life. And the recent few months, when my life was and still is chaos, and you stuck by my side and always landed an ear and reassuring advice, proved it. I can never truly explain in words how much of an influence you are to me, both as a friend and as an artist- the way you write and draw, the way you build your characters and worlds is a unique show of high skill and true love for your craft, in which you excel. I can't explain how much you mean to me in words, so I hoped that this silly, cheezy, and short complication of your characters who have a special place in my heart will be able to pass down at least a tiny bit of care I feel towards your creations and you. Happy birthday, Chi, and I hope I will get to celebrate many of your birthdays to come <3

Let's do something lighthearted today #1

Some fun facts about Kurio! Rotating this guy on the mind a lot lately.

The first meal Kurio had after falling into the Horizon was a raw steak. Manta steak. To this day, he still loves raw meat

Kurio is transgender! He named himself after his late older brother, who died in infancy

As part of his monk training, Kurio became proficient in painting, dancing, singing, music (he plays piano), and a martial art: Capoeira

Kurio's legal name is Kurio Lacco. This makes him one of the few Sky kids out there to have a last name

And finally: Kurio's associated animal is a turtle! This is because he is very old, a bit wiser than most, and also because he carries around a shield

So why’s Gou a depressed ball of grief in the new au?

To put it shortly: his parents became absolutely terrified of having their second son as a professional racer due to Kenichi’s supposed “death” during a race (he got to become a racer without running away, yay!). His mom & especially Pops, forbidden Go from racing out of fear the same thing would happen to him, & started watching him like a hawk from now on to ensure he wasn’t sneaking out to race anywhere. With Go now dealing with the loss of his brother & his will to even be open about what he dreamed of doing ever since he was young, he was stuck in denial with everything. His mind kept rewinding back to the broadcast of the scene, & tried to dig into what really caused his brother to go missing in a crash almost halfway through the race. Something felt off.

Then he noticed a few things within the reports & footage, had a talk with sabu, decided to sneak out during night since it wasn’t the only time his parents weren’t watching him, & now he’s entered the street racing scene to investigate who caused the incident & why.

Rating my favourite fictional characters on how much I'd trust them to do my top surgery

Wander 🎩🪕(Wander Over Yonder) - Bugs Bunny level antics that waste about eleven minutes of everyone's lives and leave every single person convinced he couldn't do it. It would be the cleanest and easiest top surgery on record and I would walk away unscathed.

Commander Peepers 👁💥(Wander Over Yonder) - He'd take it deadly seriously and spend the whole thing nervously sweating. He would get it done but it wouldn't be flawless. Gods help me if Hater walks into the room during the surgery.

Jack Skellington 💀🎃(Nightmare Before Christmas) - A scientific and analytical mind bodes well for surgery. However. He is a skeleton and I'm fairly certain he doesn't understand how human bodies work or that we can't dismantle ourselves like some monsters. 0/10. Love him to bits. Wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw one of his rib bones.

Fantoccio 🧵🎭(Billie Bust Up) - I mean... I think? He'd take it seriously enough but I'm not sure he'd know what he was doing.

Barnaby 🦉☠️(Billie Bust Up) - Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me. ☠️☠️☠️

Alastor 🦌🔪(Hazbin Hotel) - Must I repeat the above. ☠️☠️☠️

Ingo/Emmet 🔼🔽🚂(Pokemon) - Yeah actually I think they'd do well. They'd take it seriously, do it flawlessly and I'd walk away with a chest flatter than Emmet's hopes and dreams after Ingo got Isekai'd

Sun/Moon ☀️🌙(FNAF) - Ha. HA. HAHAHA. I can't trust them with children's safety scissors.

The Innocent 🪁🐕(Koozå) - Sir/Ma'am/Other title. That is a child.

The Trickster 🪄🎁(Koozå) - Wouldn't even need to go under. I have seen this man summon people out of nothing, my chest would be flat before I could blink. He'd make a performance out of it though and probably make me feel not entirely safe because he is peak moral ambiguity.

The Doctor ⏳️🌌(Doctor Who) - One would take it seriously but I wouldn't trust his unsteady hands. Two would probably have an anxiety attack so that's a nope. Three, Four and Five I trust to get it done safely and seriously. Honestly Six is... well he's certainly the most eccentric regeneration so probably not. Seven I'm not sure would do it properly even though he could take it seriously. Then again he could surprise me, he's more compitent than he appears. Eight and Nine? Ah shit I dunno honestly. Ten's a yes, Eleven is a huge nope, Twelve is a very safe yes and Thirteen is also a safe yes. Fourteen is just Ten repeated so also a yes. I don't know Fifteen well enough to say yet.

James "Jamie" McCrimmon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗡(Doctor Who) - He's got the steady hands and seriousness needed, yes. Unfortunately he is from the 18th century and about sixty years before anaesthesia was invented.

Sebastian 🖥🕸(Stardew Valley) - Yeah, actually. I think he'd take it seriously and have steady enough hands for it. I'm in safe company there 👍

Nico the Accordion Man 🪗⚙️(Kurios) - ??? I have no idea??? He's a handyman which bodes well and whatever he was doing with his fingers during Hypnotique tells me he's got the hands for it, but also Have You Seen the Way This Man Moves?

Chief Clown 🤡🎪(Classic Doctor Who) - (Oh yeah I'm getting hella obscure for some of these characters.) I'm pretty sure this man is a homicidal maniac. I have seen the face he makes when he kills someone. I wouldn't trust this lunatic within one mile of me while I am fully conscious and he is unarmed. Especially considering he has been unarmed every time I have seen him kill.

Sweet Cap'n Cakes 🎶🥯(Deltarune) - I love these three adorable sweethearts with my whole chest. And if I let them near my chest with anything sharp I'm afraid I won't have anything left to love them with.

Rouxls Kaard ♥️♦️♠️♣️(Deltarune) - This man. This indigo beanpole. This walking homosexual disaster. Can't make a puzzle more complex than "put box on button." Respectfully and deeply affectionately... ✨️no✨️

Wally Darling 👁🍎(Welcome Home) -

Hatbox Ghost 🎩🦯(Haunted Mansion) - NO. To both film and ride versions for different reasons.

Ghost Host 🪓➰️(Haunted Mansion) - 2023 film Hosty? Never. Put that axe down, sir. Ride Hosty? Well... He's a goober who's not half as dangerous as he appears. But I still wouldn't trust him to know what he's doing or particularly care too much if he accidentally killed me.

The Phantom 💀🎩(Phantom Manor) - Quite honestly I couldn't say. This man was adept at murder but only when given a reason, like his victims wanting to marry his daughter. I can thankfully say that I am queer enough for that to not apply to me. Doesn't make me trust him though.

The Prophet 🖤🎤(Legion of the Black) - Uh. Yeah, I think so. Yeah I think I'd be in okay hands, it wouldn't be flawless but it'd get done well enough.

Captain Rex 🪖🚀(Star Wars: The Clone Wars) - While I'd like to say battlefield first aid would give him some experience - which is true - surgeries are left up to droids. But even so I would say I'd be in safe hands. I trust him to get the job done well.

Ahsoka Tano 🗡🔶️(Star Wars: The Clone Wars) - Oh yeah. OH yeah. Safer than a Jedi holocron in the Jedi Temple library vault (before Cad Bane showed up, anyway).

Natemare 👁🎸(Natewantstobattle) - Ah yes because that is a level of mental instability that I trust to safely and confidently give me surgery. /s

Phantom 📜✒️ (Natewantstobattle) - If you know Phantom you're probably expecting a no, but he holds up his ends of any deal he makes! I absolutely trust him to give me the easiest, cleanest surgery ever. What I don't trust him to do is let me enjoy it for long because whoopsy-doopsy I'm now trapped inside his cane forever.

Lukas 🐈📖(Minecraft Story Mode) - Oh honey no, you stick to your books. He can kick ass and write a good story but he could never perform a surgery.

Helsknight ⚔️🔥(Hermitcraft) - The only things this man knows are Quote Meme, Rap and Be Pathetic. He made a pitfall trap for Welsknight because he forgot that literally every single Hermit has elytra and can fly, and then boasted about it, only to get deeply humbled. He has a total brain cell count of -1. I think you know my opinion.

Solo Post

Did you know that Rebecca Sugar referenced the yo-yo act from Cirque du Soleil’s Kurios for Smoky Quartz’s in Steven Universe?

This is such a niche fun fact that caters to two of my special interests so I was inspired to draw Smoky with The Master of Time from Kurios (alt under cut)
