I really enjoyed the DanDaDan anime and read about 100 chapters of the manga! It's ALMOST an ideal shonen anime for me (really fun main characters, yokai and aliens as the basis of action, and well-written tragic stories). But it does have some flaws that make it hard to recommend without warning (a lot of plot-contrived teenage nudity, a couple of attempted sexual assaults in the plot, old ladies that look too young, etc bad anime tropes..)
I wanted to try my own take on a few of the character designs, and draw the whole cast in a cartoony style! Some of them are anime spoilers, so I'll hide them under the cut.
Rough drawing of an idea for a poster for one of my many stories
Okay so we’re gonna do a thing where I make snapcube animatics with stray gods characters

Endless list of underrated animated female characters 40/?: Lucille
This aged horribly
I now have a plan in place for all the Smoke Room Spiderweb Characters I plan to draw and then do a small post about.
To the two people who actually care about this rewrite, stay tuned. This'll probably take a long time.
Dumb au idea I had when youtube recomended my fave horror movie's OST lol. I have NO idea how the other characters would fit in this except the tethered would be cursed followers lol
a demon, gnoll, human, harengon and pixie walk into a bar
per'kele reminds me of a sphynx for some reason and I couldn't draw one cat without the other~
okay but "the symbolism is Real and Trying to Kill You" is my favorite kind of symbolism
Rewrite fact: Kane is still a bounty hunter, but people have to pay him in bottles of milk. Why? because it's funny.
(Also he's not in this picture because I don't like him so have his POV of being paid by Chrissy)
![First slide. The title reads "drawing characters with Down syndrome". Below that: "myth that I need to get out of the way before the actual tutorial: [caps] people with DS do not look the same [end caps]. They share similar features, but there is no one face that every person with DS has. Most people with DS won't have every single trait, just pick what works for your character." Around that are three actual photos; from top to bottom; a photo of the actress Gigi Cunningham, a Black woman in her 20s posing with her hands on hips; a photo of Zhou Zhou, a Chinese man in a suit conducting an orchestra; portrait photo of Georgie Wildgust, an elderly white man smiling to the camera. Each photo is captioned with the person's name.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7f4403fd328c284d5bae6ca90eaa6d07/18bf095cd4118d2a-d1/s500x750/6feee60a3e2b462d399245d34ba50f6db14afac6.png)
![fourth slide, called "eyes". text reads "probably the most characteristic feature, so it's important to get right. People with Mosaic Down syndrome (more on it later!) will often have this as one of the few visible traits". top right has a close-up of a blue iris with white dots going around the pupil. It's captioned "these white spots going in a circle are called Brushfield spots. A lot of people with DS have them". Below that is a step-by-step tutorial on drawing eyes. First step focuses on the general shape, with the text reading "there's a lot of shapes to choose from: almond; round; upturned; + more but these are most common". Each of them has a drawing attached. Step two focuses on eyelids. Text reads "pronounced eyelids, both bottom and upper ones. They have a very noticeable crease". There's two pairs of eyes with heavy eyelids under that. Step three shows wrinkles around the eyes. Text: "some people with DS will have creases around the eyes + large bags under the eyes; if you have a simpler artstyle probably skip this one". Attached drawing shows a pair of eyes with wrinkles coming form the upper eyelid on the outer side and bags under the eyes. Step four reads "give them strabismus [many exclamation points]! I know artists are allergic to drawing strabismus if it's not for a joke but crossed eyes are actually awesome [awesome in all caps], (ok not all have strabismus but like half do)". Drawing attached shows a person with DS and strabismus.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2f7b683cb96ee98791b5e27baca3494b/18bf095cd4118d2a-f1/s500x750/04920f4b30096952d3d5d015dd10e6b840b6be70.png)
tutorial for drawing characters with Down syndrome!
DISCLAIMER... please keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. it's more of an overview of features that are common in people with Down syndrome, not meaning to imply that every person with DS has all of them 👍👍 thanks
if you draw any characters using this feel free to tag me!!
Asks are open asks are open please ask me about the rewrite please please
COMMENTS AND REBLOGS WITH GENUINE THOUGHTS ARE ENCOURAGED
Two dudes in one this time! One who's totally original and one who might as well be.
Winona is the gravekeeper, and has to tend to the bodies of both Echo and the Meseta Settlement since it's halfway between the two people. She claims to be able to commune with the dead, hearing them speaking to her. As a result, she puts snail shells in her ears, acting as earplugs. She constantly seems sad and tired, and sleeps in an empty grave, curled up into a ball.
Winona dresses in rags and furs (which are gonna be a pain to draw consistently) she tore apart and stitched together, throwing them over a turtleneck sweater. She also carries around her shovel (which isn't in the drawing because I thought this pose fit her more), using it to prop herself up when she’s so tired she can barely stand.
Chrissy, meanwhile, only had this on the wiki:
A single line. DO YALL SEE WHAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH!?!?!?!??!?!
Chrissy moved to Echo from the Big City and worked as a mathematician for the construction of the town. The town owes much of its financial stability and parts of its architecture to her.
Chrissy is even-tempered, but it belies an anxiety that causes her to be irritable. She’s a heavy thinker, but also a kleptomaniac who pockets random items to relieve stress. These two traits go hand in hand. Her speech is a little robotic, as if her mind’s the middle of calculations unrelated to the conversation at hand. It's the autism.
Both of them end up joining the investigation into Jack's murder, since one's a sort of medium and the other's super smart.
(Also not even I can tell to be honest, but Chrissy's meant to be a bear. And no, this does not mean she's an ancestor of Brian or anything like that)
Now the rewrite becomes canon
george squares fired from the echo team. peace and love on planet earth
is that person actually "demanding emotional labour" from you or did you follow one shitty therapist on twitter
We're so back
The Clifford redesign is here!
Now, let's start with the biggest change: in the Modern AU games, Cliff was nonbinary and used He/They pronouns. In TSR game, he is referred to with He/Him only, and is just a cis man. This is honestly probably the worst thing NB rep I've ever seen.
Nonbinary folks definitely existed back in 1915, they just weren't referred to as nonbinary. So now, their transness is left intact, and they are also AFAB. Besides they change their name in canon which is kinda trans already
I love the idea of Clifford being naive, but I feel like it's often overlooked that he's from a prestigious university and is definitely pretty booksmart. So, there's a bit more emphasis on them being an intellectual in the rewrite. They're usually reading when they're not a part of the conversation and just chilling in the background.
I also may have given him a slightly pretentious streak, quoting Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld and Nietzche on occasion. Because intellectuals are a little pretentious. Yeah I'm talking to you university students this is a callout
Also, Clifford's outfit is definitely not time period accurate, but I was going for a more ambiguous time period where all the cloths look like an outfit that could exist, but has also clearly got some slight fantasy influence. How'd I do in that part, ya'll?
And lastly, I think it's worth mentioning that the route characters (Cliff, Murdoch, Nik, Will) are all the protagonists of their route rather than being the love interest. So let's tick off the first of four!
