Re-design of my un-named Beetlejuice OC from back when I was thirteen

Original Reference under the cut:

[jacksothereye]

You ever come up with an idea that haunts you deeply?

This guy popped into my head about a week ago and I've been drawing him every day since. He's an auditor for a limbo universe that I'm developing and he does not have full control over all of those extra handses. Some of them are helpful but some of em are real fuckers so be careful which one you shake.

Side note: It's both scary and liberating to find myself drawing outside of a fandom. Please be nice to me.

[master-wus-tea]

Get a load of these guys 😒

[cursedcupcakemaster]

It is show time for Mr Harmon Sacrab

He's the business and economics teacher at Antabellows

Harmon is actually a demon however he teaches because he finds the mortal plane amusing and loves making trouble when Nathaniel can't wrangle him in

He often drinks gin from hell to the point the students have gotten used to his shenanigans on or off the booze

Harmon actually enjoys teaching the students about things like haggling and how to spot a con(he kind of is one)

Apparently according to Ms February his true form is very frightening and often asks him to stay in his humanoid form to avoiding traumatizing the younger children in their care

He actually finds his boss Marie to be more frightening for some reason

lil art dump!

went looking through my mdp and psd files and found some cute unfinished gems! idk if i'll finish some of these, but i don't want them to be hidden away forever.

commentary about each pic under the cut because i love to yap:

hi. you clicked to see what's under the cut. thanks! i give you your favorite cookie.

first, we have an unfinished sketch of beetlejuice, but if he was in lackadaisy, a wonderful webcomic by tracy butler! ( @lackadaisycats ) his lore is that he's lydia's very weird but loyal bodyguard. speaking of, next to it is lackadaisy lydia deetz! her outfit is directly based off of a real life 1920s teen girl dress, but with a gothic twist (the original dress was a bright yellow, which lydia would rather die than be caught in!). i based the coloring style after the initial animated lackadaisy design sheets (which you can find in the lackadaisy essentials book). lydia's lackadaisy lore is that she's the daughter of a very rich businessman (charles), yearning for a more exciting life, especially after the tragic death of her mother.

next, we have a cute lil sketch of my personal design of maria. i added a widdle baby shadow so maria wouldn't be lonely hehe. maria's outfit is directly inspired by 1970s feminine teen wear! i think she would slay in bell bottoms.

after that, we have a sketch of pink diamond with a couple personal twists. i gave her a small ruffle collar and added some extra fluff to her skirt thingy.

and then we have my oc gibson in the world of welcome home, a beautiful art project by clown! ( @partycoffin ) gibson is a rainbow monster. not sure what emily and the rest of the gang would be, but i can see lucian being a star like sally. i tried to mimic the ink concept art found on the welcome home website.

down below we have a sketch of my designs of adam and barbara maitland! i tried to give them a height difference, with adam being constructed of rectangular shapes and barbara of circular shapes. this does feel like them when they were a little younger (perhaps teens?), bc barbara's outfit feels rather 80s.

and finally, a sketch dump of a new toonsona i was daydreaming about! she is a wacky hybrid of a bat and rabbit.

thanks for reading this massive wall of text :P

I probably sound stupid, but who's Argus exactly?

MY BRAND NEW NRC MUSIC TEACHER OC BASED OFF OF OOGIE BOOGIE (and lowkey Alex Brightman’s Beetlejuice).

HE’S A MENACE TO SOCIETY

DIVUS HATES HIM, THE STUDENTS LOVE HIM.

He’s an Ignihyde alumni and former dorm leader. Because Oogie Boogie? While eccentric, was a hermit who stayed in his little casino and also BUILT all the traps and machines he has in there.

Also you don’t sound stupid at all; I literally just came up with him, lol. It’s all good. He glows in the dark. :3

[wolfiefoxwolf]

Lilith Mortensen

She’s human oc for yokai watch.

Lilith and she’s a gothic girl, whose mom works in an old antique shop and her dad works in a morgue funeral service. She loves anything paranormal and tries to show that there’s an underworld, heck she has an ouija board but because her love for the paranormal people thinks she’s weird. She got the yokai watch from a yard sale.

Lilith character is based off Janna from svtfoe and Lydia from beetlejuice and stocking from paswg.

I’ll write more of her in the future.

[sk8r-bo1]

Spooky ooky Beetlejuice based oc🪲

[cadaver-catastrophe]

Here's my twst oc based off of Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice (1988 movie)!

(fyi I used ace's chibi sprite as a reference and base)

[loki104-uwu]

Bored so i'm doing a lil thing

basically i'm making Fop ocs based off of mainly Tim Burton characters but some are also Henry Selick characters so yeah..(I have made 3 based off of Coraline and there is more in the making so many do James and the giant peach since I already did Coraline and Wendell & Wild)

Note: It just started off with Alder and Eliza who were based off of Beetlejuice and Lydia and I got bored and decided to do more.

Alder- Beetlejuice.

Eliza- Lydia Deetz.

Treat- Jack skellington.

Trick- Oogie boogie.

Glow- Zero.

Ghost- Frankenweenie.

Vincent- Victor Frankenstein (Frankenweenie).

Eddy- Edward Scissorhands.

Ali- Alice (Alice in wonderland).

Char-Char & Tom Foolery- Charlie and Willy Wonka of course.

Vic & Emmy- Victor and Emily (corpse bride).

Addy (Adeline)- Coraline.

Bertie- Wybie.

Jinx- idk the cat's name in Coraline.

Pandora- Kat (Wendell & Wild).

Diablo- Wendell.

Dagger- Wild.

I have 18 characters right now and trying to get to 20 so if you want, send a Tim Burton or Henry Selick character and I can try to make a fop oc based off them, might make a blog for them but idk...

anyways drink water and have an amazing day everyone!!

Random taglist i'm so sorry (@wreckrinho, @that-artistic-record, @hamilton-fluff)

[suicidaladiction]

Okay so, I drew this cause’ I was bored and I had an idea rolling around in my head for quite a while about me as Lydia- except for the fact my oc isn’t a minor in the beetlejuice animated..cause’ I want a selfshipping with beetlejuice!!!!...(every beetlejuice) but mostly it's based on my new-year outfit and an artist that I follow here and I like. What do u think about this? my non-existence audience

Do you have any tips on character designs

So many! Character design is my favourite thing and something I've learned is that there is beauty in simplicity. Simple shapes repeated (loosely, usually) throughout a character tend to lead to more cohesive designs; in reference to my Beetlejuice design he's shaped roughly like a pineapple chunk, head and body. And simple colours, palettes of 3-7 colours, work best; one colour that takes up most of the character, two supporting colours, and then (if desired) small amounts of any additional colours. Keeping colours close together on the colour wheel makes them look more unified and then I like to toss in a colour from somewhere on the opposite side for contrast. After choosing colours you can use a colour balance option for digital pieces to "slide" the colours closer together and to a more preferable base hue i.e. make them all redder, bluer, or greener. You can also use pre-chosen palettes from a palette picker site. Also remember pointy vs round. Usually a friendly character will be round and a mean character is pointy, but you can also use that to subvert expectations and do the opposite. Another big thing is consistency vs inconsistency; something great that I was taught is that you don't have to design/render your characters in the same way. To start a character draw them as many times as many ways as possible. Everytime you draw them again take the things from the version you liked and change the things you don't until you settle somewhere. From then on try to draw them as on-model as possible. But, with all that in mind, you don't have to draw two characters from the same universe with the same levels of "realism"; once again regarding my Beetlejuice and Lydia designs, Beej has perfectly round eyes, mostly separated teeth, and implied claws while Lydia has oval and more realistically shaped eyes, solid-line teeth, and actual fingernails. I could have drawn Beej with actual claws, but I preferred the look of the implied claws because it uncluttered the design of his hands, which leads back into the fact that sometimes less is more, and simplicity can look better. And lastly, diversify. It can be really hard to try new things, and even harder to not immediately think it looks bad because you've never done it before, but recently I redesigned some of my childhood ocs and I couldn't help but think that they all looked awful because they all looked the same. Post redesigns they're all so different and it feels like character design I can actually be proud of. Same face syndrome is a curse and try not to get yourself stuck in the rut of drawing the same style of individual and/or the same pose everytime. And, to anyone who sees this, if it does come out bad just remember that all new art is growth, you're never obligated to show anyone anything you don't want to, and you'll never get better if you don't practice, so keep at it. People say there's no such thing as bad art, and, personally, I don't think that's true. Everybody has to be bad at something before they're good at it, but that doesn't make it worth less. And hopefully these tips can help others improve the way they helped me.

Beetlebabes dni (seriously fuck off)

So, my current hyperfixation is Beetlejuice, movie, cartoon, and musical. But I have all the Beetlejuice cartoons on file so as I was watching, I decided to redesign Lydia and Beej in the show’s style for my own fic I’m working on. I added silhouettes of the show’s designs as a comparison. And I finalized my OC as a bonus. So here’s some info about Bj and Lydia. I’ll explain my OC some other time.

Beetlejuice:

I used all iterations of him as inspiration, but in terms of visual, it’s mostly the musical and cartoon. Gave him his green hair and also a mullet cause... Idk I think it looks good. But in terms of personality, it’s a nice combo of all three. He’s a lot more nastier and violent than his toon counterpart, but still retains some of the sensitivity showed in the show. For example, he’s still protective of Lydia, but instead of simply putting beetles in a bully’s hair, he’ll genuinely traumatize them with a scare or straight up try and kill them. He’s still a handsy and overtly sexual being like in the movie/musical. Instead of responding to emotional rejection (outside of flirtatious contexts) with a depressive episode like the show, he gets very angry and vengeful. He’s petty, selfish and a conniving ass like all three iterations. But he’s not as dumb as his toon counterpart. He’s irrational and acts before he thinks sure, but when it comes to being a trickster, he’s more thoughtful and malicious like the movie version.

His relationship with Lydia is a big brother/little sister type. She’s one of the very select few who’s ever gotten past his walls. He’s protective of her and always encourages her interests in the gross, rude, and dead. But he’s less affectionate than the show/musical. He’s not a big fan of pda and just barely tolerates her occasional hug. He and Lydia are the type of friends that exchange insults and petty barbs as a way of showing how they care.

A brief note on his most common alter ego, Bettyjuice. I modernized her into an egirl because the aesthetic is perfect with all the stripes. She’s pretty much the same as the show; gross, rude, and impulsive. But I made her too pretty unfortunately. I kept leaning towards cute with certain attributes like the added beanie and her adorable tummy, so that’ll probably be tweaked in the future, but we’ll see. I do like this design a lot even though it’s not gross enough.

Lydia:

Again, all iterations were an inspiration. Her Netherworld design is just a more aged up version of the original poncho, but I added a touch more purple at the forefront to reflect her personality. And her normal design is more muted just as a contrast to the Netherworld to make it seem mundane in comparison. In terms of personality, she’s got the character development of the musical. She’s still deadpanned and sarcastic like the movie/musical, but she’s much softer and more sweet like her toon counterpart. She’s a little more mature now that she’s 18, but not by much cause she’s still a young, developing girl. She only has a few friends her age since most of her peers at school are put off by her goth aesthetic and macabre interests. It also doesn’t help that she hangs around a weird egirl who likes to throw bugs at people (Bettyjuice of course). She does have two friends, Becca and Pamela (loosely based off Bertha and Prudence) and of course, her family. She still loves the Maitlands and hangs out with them a bunch. She has a better relationship with Charles Deetz now that she’s a little older. The one she has conflict the most is Deelia, but there’s still clear love there. She fully accepts Deelia as her mother now, while, of course, still keeping Emily Deetz in her heart as well. But they tend to bicker and argue the most because of their different worldviews, but much less so than before now that Lydia regularly spends time in the Nethworld.

But of course, Lydia’s best friend is Beetlejuice. They pull pranks, get into mischief, and regularly get revenge on Lydia’s main bully Claire Brewster.

But yeah, that’s it. I’ll explain my OC later, but I’m too tired rn. I’m working on some more art for Beetlejuice, but the main inspo is the cartoon since it has a lot more to work with in terms of story and world building.
