W.I.P.

Here is the rough draft of one of the alternate personalities for my OC. He is a dog demon, specifically a German Shepherd.

This is personality is best described as a disgruntled cop/detective, who will do anything to solve a case. He’s basically a stereotypical detective: clever, perseverant, thinks outside the box, and definitely has problems with alcoholism and smoking. Imagine those old black and white detective shows combined with Sebastian Castellanos from the Evil Within.

He’s not the most social person, however he knows how to get someone talking through drinks and persuasion. He tries to gather as much information as possible before making consequential decisions.

Dream's design: most likely done! At least we're getting there. I don't know what kinda changes my brain will come up with later so consider this a (probably) temporary design lol

Below is a semi-coherent explanation for the last image

The 3rd image is like a visualisation of my notes on them, inspired by nature patterns. Dream and Nightmare are not total opposites of each other, but rather analogous to each other.

Resilience — Motion : their nature. Nightmare is prone to being static, while Dream is constant motion.

Continuity — Harmony : community. Dream likes the interconnectedness of large communities, while Nightmare prefers one-on-one and closer relationships.

Sensuality — Intensity : how they approach relationships. In their truest nature, Dream is like a blazing sun: intense and constant. If he clicks with you, then he'd be excited to fill in every corner that he can in your life. Meanwhile Nightmare is more like a cat: approaching only when he feels comfortable and when he wants to, even if it's rarely. But the weight/importance of his attention makes up for it (or not, depending what kind of attention you're getting..)

Connection — Stability : what both of them need to feel happy and safe in their lives. Funnily enough, it's also what they don't have.

Influence — Change : how they impact other beings/people, consciously and power-wise. Nightmare influences others by compounding on preexisting emotions/thoughts/insecurities/etc, making one more likely to do whatever (like for example fall into a depressive episode). Dream, on the other hand, doesn't do subtlety and smashes through (or into) anything, outright forcing one to change their mood or mindset. His powers walk along the line of hypnosis in that regard.

Dusttale: Revived | Character Concepts Pt.3

Here are my takes on a froggit & a whimsun.

I’ve never drawn a frog-based character before, so sorry if the portions look weird. While for the froggit I didn’t based them off a specific frog, I based the whimsun off the Hummingbird Hawk Moth.

Hopscotch

Hopscotch, or Hoppy, works as the supply runner & delivery for the Underground. They deliver messages, food, or even resources for the DT injections.

Hoppy is down-to-earth & has a somewhat “southern” charm. While they’re unable to verbally understand what others are saying (& vice versa), they do understand the general vibe that the individual is saying. Though other froggits, amphibian-based & some insect-based monsters can understand each other relatively well.

Before anyone asks, Hopscotch is not “pregnant” with a tadpole, it’s much worse.

Wyllow

Wyllow “works” as extra eyes & hears for supply runners, mainly works with Hopscotch.

Wyllow is afraid of almost everything, probably their own shadow. If she gets spooked during a run, she’ll hide in Hoppy’s backpack or just run away if the bag is full. Though she does try to comfort others if they’re scared as well, but ends up just becoming a stuttering mess.

Some monsters will sometimes use her as a plushie due to how soft her fluff is.

I’m working on a fictional continent that would take place on our Earth.

It’s located right above Antarctica and southwest of Australia.

I’m still working on the names for the continent and the countries within it.

I’ve also created 3 alphabets that would be used in these countries. I’m still working on the symbols/letters for them, but I do have the sound chart for each letter, along with an English adaptation of each letter.

If anyone wants to try writing/speaking these, please, I want to see if these alphabets will work or if I need to make adjustments.

Stifonies Ziemuzies: “The Symphony of Silence”

Stifonies Ziemuzies, Stifonies or Stifons, is the Overlord over the Orchestra industry, specifically Symphonies, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.

They had a fairly calmed life, growing up in a small town and worked as animal breeders. Their favorite animals to take care of were rodents, specifically rabbits (rabbits were considered to be rodents until the early 1900s). They were born mute due to defects and malfunctions in their throat, not that they mind.

However, the Netherlands started to began to flourish with the arts, music, and sciences; bringing them an inspiration and admiration for music. Their family took them to see orchestral performances, which in return, inspired them to write their own music. Some conductors would volunteer to perform these songs, but none of them matched Stifonies’s vision.

During one of these performances, a few of the performers accidentally played their instruments too loudly and suddenly. Due to where Stifonies was sitting, they got instantly affected by this, causing them to become partially deaf in their right ear.

They were told that it’s best for their health to stay away from orchestra performances to prevent their deafness from getting worst, but they refused. Many began to turn their backs on them, due to seeing that their music as “odd” and “unconventional”. But they still continued to write and eventually performed their music themselves. However, they were a perfectionist. They would work and force their instrumentalists to practice to the point of severe exhaustion. One day several of their performers died from a stroke while performing. Soon they were left with no players to perform in their orchestra, leading them to stop performing all together.

Unfortunately, the Smallpox epidemic reach the Netherlands. They soon got infected by this epidemic and was stuck in bed for days, being comforted by the rodents they once took care of. Then in February of 1871, they died in their sleep.

After arriving in Hell, they actually found themselves at The Puppeteer’s Theater. The Puppeteer, shocked by their sudden arrival, greeted them warmly. Since they were the first to ever appear at the Theater, and watched their orchestration talent while alive, The Puppeteer saw this as fate and offered a deal to them. The Puppeteer offered to make them the 2nd in Command of the Theater, the ability to control the instrumentalist and instruments themselves, and being able to practice nonstop without the worry of exhaustion. However, in exchange, their soul is owned by the Puppeteer, having to follow their command when needed. They saw this as a second chance and was pleased with the conditions, accepted eagerly.

They were cruel to most of the souls they owned, working them nonstop, and even breaking limbs to punish them. Even with broken bones, they still make them play, either on their own or through their powers. They didn’t feel the need to get along or even socialize with the other Overlords and often ignored them, even leaving snarky “remarks” and comebacks. Not even The Puppeteer was safe from their sass.

Design

Their name “Stifonies Ziemuzies” is a combination of the Dutch words for “Silent” and Symphony”, and “Sick” and “Music”.

They’re around 8ft 2in, making making them around the same height as Angel Dust.

They have rabbit like features to represent their fondness for rabbits, and rabbits are linked to magicians who are often said to have “a few tricks up their sleeves”.

Their body is covered with small spots to represent smallpox.

They feel like fresh new paper, smooth and warm, and is able to be drawn/written on. This is to represent that they preferred to communicate through writing rather than sign language, but still know how to.

Unlike the other overlords, they only have a “shackle” around their neck, which looks like a bow tie. This is due to them being the 2nd in Command for the Theatre.

They lack a mouth, mainly to represent that they’re mute, but one can form when in their full demon form.

Here is a basic reference without the clothes and makeup:

Dusttale: Revived | Research Notes for BRAVERY

reblog this if you're okay with booping spams please !!

I saw a post made by @bee-ina-boat for making an Euclydian OC, and wanted to try it out.

I ended making 4 different ones by taking my first answers and use the opposite of them, then picked the median for the both of them and then do the opposite of that. A little confusing but you’ll see what I mean.

Anyway, here’s all 4 OCs (names TBD):

The rectangle one was made by my first answers. Aprons make me think of bakers, so I made this one a baker, which with their multiple arms, would make baking a piece of cake. The personality trait I got was edgy, but I didn’t know how to incorporate that. I imagine they would bake cynical cookies that would say something like “I you stub your toe multiple times today”.

The octagon one was made by the opposite of my first answers. I got the personality trait professional, but got headphones as the accessory. This got me thinking that they could be a really good DJ or Music Producer. I also got extra fingers, so even though I gave the others 4 fingers, I gave this one 6 to make them more obvious.

The trapezoid one was made by finding the median of the first & opposite answers. With the closed eye, curious personality & big boots, I wanted to make a character that was blissfully unaware. They almost have a child-innocence to them, completely unaware of the cosmic horrors around them.

The oval one was made by the opposite of the median answers. The yellow coloring & bowler hat made me think that they could be a rip-off of a rip-off Bill Cipher. They’re a door-to-door salesperson offering questionable items & deals, but is more mischievous than sadistic. A full “live audience” soundtrack follows them everywhere like a sitcom.

I tried to do complementary colors for the accessories to keep them simple.

I don’t have any names for them yet, so feel free to comment your own names & headcanons.

Should I make a Gravity Falls OC?

So seeing that Gravity Falls is making a comeback, especially on this site, I’m debating on if I should make a character for it.

I have a few ideas regarding what the character can be:

Just a regular human working at the grocery store in Gravity Falls.

An experiment that broke out of containment & is currently roaming around the forest.

A demon of some kind, I was thinking a succubus/incubus & are trying to seduce the older folks in Gravity Falls, but they suck at it.

A random monster/cryptid/mythical creature that just hangs out around town & everyone is just fine with it.

A ghost/poltergeist that possesses people/animals/machinery for fun or travel.

While typing this out, I imagine all 5 of these being friends/acquaintances that work together in solving problems like the Mystery Inc. Gang.
