scaryaxel. for your consideration.
This Clown didn't change much in concept but she definitely changed in design.
Previously I already made a more casual look for her when she's not performing, and that became the basis for her redesign. Her old outfit will be repurposed for her performance outfit. Still need to draw that.
Besides that she got a new hairstyle! And a hint of that Pinkie Pie inspired front swirl.
The Influencer had a massive overhaul from her 1st look to her 2nd. The first look I've actually recycled for her mom's design. Who I'll post here eventually.
Anyway Madi got a warmer yellow tone, some bangs and a shorter coat. She's still looking fabulous!
The Prankster kept a lot of his original elements. Purple + green colors, curly black hair and a bomb on his clothes.
The hoodie became a jacket. The hair got more sharper in the back and the bomb was moved to his shirt. His shorts and nose kept changing but I finally settled on something I like.
The Shy Doormat stayed very consistent in design. The clothes just became baggier, the nose changed shape and her colors more muted.
But she still hates the spotlight and is still a lesbian disaster.
Immediately, the Mythology Buff became more tomboy-ish. Her features became a lot more sharper and a bit more androgynous.
Her outfit stayed the mostly it just evolved. Less cluttered details. A more eye pleasing color pallette. All changes for the better.
He's a menace this one. Definitely the one that gave me the most trouble redesigning.
Like Parvati I removed a lot of unnecessary details and gave him a more eye pleasing pallette. His skintone got a cooler undertone to better see the line work.
And the big change. His hair. Less knock-off Hobie Brown and more his own person. I'm very thankful for my friend Howai for giving me the idea for locs.
Ah Rachel. The Rodeo Star. Who actually started out as a pathetic Heather Wannabe. She became something way different. Now an antagonist more in line with Bowie.
Her design barely changed from V2 to V3. Just changed her bangs direction and gave her abs. Why mess with perfection?
I just realized Rachel gained boots and lost her sandals, while Madileighn lost her boots and gained sandals. Huh. Fun trade-off.
The Oblivious Hearth Throb is still as good looking as ever.
Now he gets to take his hair down and really make people swoon. Not that he realizes.
I basically made his outfit more warm weather oriented then cold. Also, he went from green to gray. A more neutral color helps him stand out from the cast.
Now if Rachel isn't the one with the least changes. Then it's Sasha. I struck gold with the first design. And she barely changed after that.
The 2 big differences are her hair, from flowing waves to bantu knots. And her concept.
Originally she was a singer going on TD to promote herself. Now she's a nepo-baby who's uncle got her onto the show. She doesn't realize her well connected, rich girl experiences aren't universal.
Last and certainly never least. The Short-Tempered Greaser.
Tony's outfit barely changed. Just some color adjustments. But his body definitely changed. The 2nd time I designed as someone short and not just shrunk someone down.
The big difference this time is his hair. I love the pompadour+swirl but I wanted something different to differentiate him from how i draw Johnny Spirit. So he got a quaff. I think that's the right word.
Anyway lastly his pose makes his personality more clear. He's cranky and impatient.
Women’s RIGHTS and women’s WRONGS!!! After the survivors lineup, here’s the killers too!
These were a completely different challenge to stylize, from the survivors. The killers have a very specific silhouette established by their entire look, while survivors are…well, a lot of jeans and shirts in there, so it’s more about stylizing the hair and face!
It was also more of a challenge to get them to lineup nicely because there’s much bigger differences in height! Especially Plague…girl was a struggle.
But we got there in the end!!

I FINISHED MY DRAWING YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Species: Living Wax Figure
Gender: Female
Role: Doom Raider, Ally
World: Chandelier Circus
Attacks: Lamp Sparks, Laughter Leap, Wick Explosion
Headcanon Voice Actor(s): Sarah Stiles
Candlequin is a clown made out of wax who is a Magic villain in Skylanders: Trap Team and a Doom Raider.
Personality
Being a clown, Candlequin is very comical and goofy, and she enjoys being in the spotlight. She enjoys herself whenever she is performing, always aiming to bring down the house. She likes to do things her own way. Candlequin is also a bit of a neat freak, arranging her candles in specific rows, but she doesn't like cleaning up messes.
Abilities
Candlequin is able to light up the wicks on her fingers and magically shoot fire sparks from them. She can summon large explosive candles from the ground. She also can twirl the floating hoop around her waist, which allows her to throw sparks from all angles. She is shown to be fairly athletic, as she is capable of jumping very high and doing flips and cartwheels.
History
When she first came alive as a performer made of wax, she was given the name Kendall Quinn. Upbeat and candle-obsessed, Kendall traveled in the circus with the other creations of her inventive ringmaster, performing for audiences across Skylands. But then, when the ringmaster started leading the circus in disturbing ways she wasn't happy with, Kendall grew rebellious. She ran away from his circus to start one of her own- the Chandelier Circus- and called herself the Candlequin. She loved being the one in charge to the point where she wanted to show everybody how powerful she was. She and her villainous circus troupe forced people to watch their evil performances, also casting bright spells on their belongings that would make them melt. Her show of force and magical prowess led her to enter the ranks of the Doom Raiders, pushing Pain-Yatta out of the spotlight in the process. She strongly preferred being part of the Raiders than being back in her old circus, as she felt like she had a stronger sense of individuality and brightness. Eventually, like the rest of her fellow Raiders, Candlequin was locked in Cloudcracker Prison.
Skylanders: Trap Team
After the Doom Raiders were freed, Candlequin, like the others, really didn't feel like following Kaos's plan for world domination. She was curious to know how old he was. Later in the story, after noticing that the group was losing assets with more of them being captured, Candlequin decided she'd stop the Skylanders herself. She reopened her circus with improvements using the leftover Traptanium, swiping people up and keeping them within its walls. The Skylanders arrived at the circus, where they battled its attractions on the outside of the tent and then confronted her on the inside. The fight that followed resulted in Candlequin being defeated and captured.

Villain Theme ♫
This is what I imagine the music for her boss battle sounding like:
And I imagine her villain theme, the music that plays when you play as her, sounding something like this:
Trivia
- Her name is a portmanteau of "candle" and "harlequin."
- She was going to be a marionette/clown/candle hybrid named Marion Candles, but the marionette side of her was removed because her creator thought she'd be too similar to Mesmeralda.
- Candlequin's creator imagines her being a Sensei for the sorcerer battle class, wielding a large candlestick staff.
