Some concepts for my GOW x Doungeon Meshi au
"After the death of her son at the hands of Kratos, Freya decides to fuse Baldur’s dead body with what little life remains in his pet Red Dragon body.
The abomination flees away into the branches of the World Tree, possibly ending up anywhere in the Nine Realms. With Ragnarok just around the corner and the witch trying to protect his "son", it is up to Kratos and Atreus to hunt it down and stop it's rampage... that is if Freya doesn't stop them first."
I have a few GOW aus I never sat down and drew that I wouldn't mind exploring in the future, this one included. I'm calling it "Quimera Baldur au" but any better name suggestions are much appreciated as well as questions! If you have them....
They're my favorite
Wrote a short Kratyr one shot as practice for other fics/comics i´m cooking, enjoy!
Also don't let any unfunny Sirenhead jokes make you think the design needs to be changed because A) it fits the desing and B) That’s not how Siren Head's siren heads actually look like so the comparison is not 100% HA JOKES ON THEM!
I honestly think the design is great since it hides Able but still feel like Able! He still has the human body with something wacky as a head idea but it replaces the cards for something that I bet shows a lot of his personality in this universe.
What helped me make the connection, and what I must applaud you for, is the teeth. Some I really like about TADC character design is how the rest of the cast (and side character) lacks realistic teeth which makes Caine stand out more, so the siren in his head having them was the first thing that makes you draw that connection.
(Also the use of the word "biological" brother is rising some major questions cause what do you mean that in a world full of soul powered robots something can be biologically related....?)
Hi! Please excuse any misspellings, english is not my frist language...
Firstly I just wanted to tell you that I love your AU! Your Harlequin au was what intorduced me to lovely TADC au Tumblr community and I absolutley love it! I haven't seen alternate universes as creative as these since the Sansverse era!
Secondly, I hace a question about the Patriarch: He seems to have a very good idea of who Caine is, wouldn't he be this world's equivalent to Able? I ask because althugh his design is WAY different from most fan Able depictions, he still has that "The Puppetmaster's brother" vibe that all Ables tend to have, a peace of Caine's past that he can never get rid of!
If he is not Able then I am curious of who he is, if he is then the lore just got spicier and if you don't want to spoil anything I'll understand.
But honestly: Keep it up! Your au has filled 70% of all my daydreams, the only thing I have been able to think about for a while has only been game mechanics, combat and chase sequences!
Damn y'all are fucking sleuths istg
Though I am very proud of that because that means my design philosophy worked somehow, and for that, I'll throw you guys a bone. And also because I can't keep it a secret any longer I've been holding it in since the very beginning of this au
YES.
The Patriarch of Puppets is none other than Abel, Caine's biological brother.
When I was first designing him, I wanted every aspect of Abel's design to scream "opposite of Caine", and to hold some form of symbolism. From his megaphone head, down to the color palettes, there is meaning. Don't get me wrong, Mushy's Able is a very memorable and awesome design and I could've incorporated him the same way I did Souls-like, but I wanted something deeper for Harlequin.
While Caine is adorned in golds and maroons to symbolize his warmer nature, Abel has teals and silver, a very cold and intimidating stature. Their outfits and the colors are an opposition towards each other yet reflect one another somehow, the way Abel dresses tightly and formal when Caine is loose and open, his intense red pupil conveys his hostility, whilst Caine's eyes are softer blues and greens.
His king-size height dwarfing Caine tells just how much the Puppetmaster felt living on his shadow, HELL, someone noticed the weird "A" on the sides of his head and I had to shrug it off because I didn't want to reveal it as early as that time.
Even the megaphone head design holds SO MUCH UNTOLD STORY BETWEEN THE BROTHERS THAT I WILL CHOOSE TO KEEP A SECRET FOR NOW. I've put SO MUCH THOUGHT behind his design.
*sigh*... Which is also why I very much dislike the "siren head" jokes, because it's the one thing I didn't really foresaw when I was developing his design until I finished, and someone pointed out it might cause jokes like that to prop up. Something I thought I wouldn't mind initially, until everyone made the same joke over and over again and I just audibly groan irl.
But you know. internet's gonna internet, they see one thing that resembles a popular media, it's an immediate connection. I didn't even give a shit enough about Siren head to know how the design actually looked like, just a silhouette of the guy.
Therefore, I would really appreciate it if saying this out loud would help lessen the jokes, but ik not everyone is going to see this post so.
I do still wanna thank you for your kind words, because these kinds of asks are the fuel to my fire of inspiration and motivation for this AU, and I wish that I can keep this fire going till the very end of this AU's story :')
Had to draw this on paper cause I couldn't get it right while drawing with my finger.
Gangle's body is very fun to draw.

THE RECORD
For The Amazing Digital Wonderland by @endomentendo
One of the Queen's entertainers, The Record spend most of his time in the Forest of Anmesia gathering the mist with the vacuum on top of his head. His machine like body can extract the lost memories of those who enter from the mist into movie reels that are played for the Nobe. lAny memory ever lost belongs to him now as a part of his collection. If the Queen liked the movie, then he'll like the source material. He harbors a great distaste for any other form of art.
Despite porfiting from their lost identity, The Record never initiates any interaction with anyone. His days are mostly spent slowly walking through the Forest, collecting as much memories as possible, those who crossed him and asked for directions got even more lost... the longer you spend in the Forest, the better for him. The only people who encountered him without consequence are the the Mad Chatter's companions who've tried to open him up and a bunny? Cat? Who keeps leading people out the Forest. He does not like them that much.
"What marvelous, tragic story this one has.... good. It has been a while since I showed a tragedy."
It was fun designing a background characters whose whole thing is being in the background!
(Please keep bubble away from him)
965 hours turned useless the moment Týr Odinson appeared on screen.
Right now the name is
But it might change in the future, work in progress and everything.
Right now everything is in a concept stage and is subject to change in the future, expect the Masterpost and other official content at the end of November.
The AU will just mix the premise of TADC with the one of RTC instead of being a "Ride the Cyclone but what if TADC characters" type of story. Instead, the story will have the TADC human cast finding themselves, after brutally dying in a rollercoaster incident, in a circus-like-wonderland in-between life and death created by The Marvelous Caine. Here, the members of the Circus shall compete for a chance of being revived, but who's worth it the most?
None of the members remember their past lives, only the feeling they had during and about their death. They do not share the backstories with the original RTC cast, they will share some similarities with some of them at most.
All characters are adults around the same age they are in the original show. They all work/are connected to Uranium's local church and are part of the chuaior, most of the joining as it could have been their ticket out of that boring town.
All the designs shown here are, well, still being designed. Ponmi's specially is still in development, you can take the bottom right head shot as the direction I've decided to take. It's really hard designing a Ponmi, mad kudos to those who already did!
I don't plan on changing Caine's design outside from expanding it and adding more detail. He was very easy to design and all the elements floated into place as I drew, unlike Ponmi who has been hell on earth. I change his title from "The Amazing" to "The Marvelous" because, and bare with me, the world marvelous feels more purple to me and that is this version of Caine's main color. I don't know how I feel about taking away his characteristic red but I do like the diversity it brings to the "Caine roster".
Bubble takes after the rat that's nibbling Karnek wires (ultimately killing both of them in the end), I do not know if the same will happen in this universe though. I might make some slight tweets to his design cause I just can't seem to get the teeth right.
I haven't made any other concept art for the other members designs but I will get there eventually!
I don't know what is the format this au is being taught in (comic, show, video game, visual novel and so on...) so any type of world building in that way is a bit iffy.
Consequently, I have no idea if any NPCs like GummyGoo or the Angle will appear but I do like the idea of having them in the au... so who knows?
I'd like to add Able in some way shape or form but try as I might I CAN'T SQUEEZE HIM IN! IT JUST LOOKS LIKE THAT ONE GUY WHO SELF-INSERTED HIMSELF INTO AMPHIBIA I SWEAR!
This is done by a TADC fan who enjoys the concept of Ride the Cyclone and its songs, my priority in what I stay truthfull to is TADC. I just took what I liked from RTC and now I'll create a story with it.
That being said, see you when I update. Feel free to ask questions!
