Pose Practice With One Of My Our Life Mcs, Vermin (it/they)!

Life is a never-ending show, my friend, A twisting-turning, ever-bending show. The audience is everyone you know, my friend; Leave them with a smile when you go!

You can bet, that you're a star, so don't forget How fun you are! Get up there and give it your all And don't stop dancing, don't stop dancing 'til the curtains fall!

So! I love my characters. I love their designs! I wouldn't change their designs for the world. But, I got to thinking.

What if I designed my characters today? Like, if they were brand new characters, how would my growth in character design shift the way they look? That's what I did today. Designed some of my oldest characters as if I designed them today. Design notes under the cut!

Covah:

Made him look like an actual drow- not slapping a dark skin tone on him and calling him a drow.

Hair in a ponytail cause, let's be honest, his long ass hair would be easy to grab.

I wanted to keep the facial scar that he got when he first questioned Simone. That's such an integral part of his story. But, I edited it a but to look like the slap that it was. Otherwise? All scars Covah got from Simone are gone. Instead, he has small battle wounds dotted all over his body.

Actually, y’know, put a sword at his hip like he probably would have 24/7

Gave him his legs back. Take them. You fool. You poor child.

Gave him some tattoos! Covah always seemed like the type to have tattoos.

Espi:

Gave him more of a greaser vibe instead of the general adult 50s style. He is a young, Hispanic, working-class American who does not enjoy The Man. He is perfect for the greaser style. But, he wouldn't do all the motorcycle stuff that was common or listen to all that rock. He's a book nerd deep down.

Got rid of his glasses. Why does he have glasses? He is blind. He does not need glasses. Take them off. You fool. You utter moron.

Still tub. Let him be tub.

Simone:

I wanted to give her more of a warrior princess vibe.

She has. A nose. It's a miracle.

Made her dress more adpt for the time period she lived died in.

She has a under jaw, much like Alexandrite from Steven universe. She can lift her front face to reveal a larger, threatening jaw underneath.

Eyeball. She felt a lil bear without four eyes so I gave her one under her skirt.

Sinensis:

Total revamp! I wanted him super cartoony and fun.

Originally I was shooting for something inspired by Picasso, but ended up more muppety.

Orange.

I removed his kitty bits! They just feel very extra in his current design but they've been there forever.

He's still a ball of fluff tho. Best boi.

hhhOOOOUGH BIG PETAL

uhm if it's okay to send our ocs maybe my petalite and that petalite you designed?

Very soft. I wonder what her name is 🤔

"M-My- Diamond. A-Apologies for my lateness in emerging and reporting to you. I would have reported sooner but-"

"Y-You're-!"

"Brimstone, Facet Y-1 Cut 9L, permafrost defect. I emerged without standard abilities. If you desire, I will shatter myself upon this nearby spire for being so off-color-"

"No-! Brimstone- A shuttle is on the way to retrieve you immediately! How did you emerge- How did you survive the collapse?!"

"I- erm- I was injected in the middle of a spot that did not collapse, my Diamond."

"Are- Are there any others?"

"I am sorry, my Diamond, I am the only one. I.... waited."

"I.... See. Thank you, Brimstone. You will not be punished for being off-color. I'll- I'll think of something for you. But I won't shatter you. You.... You're the last remnant of my first colony."

"Th- Thank you, my Diamond."

Yaaaaas I love them all!! thank you so much for doing them!!

Sinny, A3

someone’s not letting Sinensis get a word in edge wise.

young, rebellion era Hitchcock! He’s still boisterous and kind, but not gone like he is later in life. He has an anger in him he doesn’t remember later in life, and rushes into decisions. Like the eventual decision to confront Boss Ubris. He is not ready for the massive loss of life he will face....

He has the wherewithal to style his hair into a braid instead of throwing it into a ponytail like he does later in life. No beard either. And, his hair has not gone white yet! Still bright red. And, he actually has pierced ears! But he doesn’t really remember this later. 

more students for the school Percy and Turnip go to

Cyraeni is half naga half mermaid. They got more of their mermaid parent’s lower half muscles, meant for swimming and not movement on the ground. They also got a recessive deep sea mermaid trait, and were born blind. Cyraeni is a big teddy bear once you get to know them. Super kind and gentle to everyone. They are the star of the school’s non-competitive swim team.

Typically, the school would provide an aide for Cyraeni to get around with. However, Cyraeni’s tail has poisonous spikes and a poisonous stinger at the tip. Making Dottingale here the only one willing to cart Cyraeni around since she is immune to the poisons. 

Dottingale is half cartoon character and half banshee. Her cartoon heritage makes them two dimensional- flat as paper. They can slip through the thinnest gaps and often gets things lost between walls for teachers. She also does not use her legs to walk. Instead, they sort of “slides” along the floor as if they were floating. But, her feet ae touching the ground. Dottingale can possess electronics at will, and will do so to get out of lectures to stop banshee shrieking at those who make fun of Cyraeni’s disabilities. Dottingale is autistic and has problems expressing herself. Dottingale prefers to eat with their stomach mouth and talk with their upper mouth. 

These two are a couple, but never kiss in public. 

Cyraeni is gender fluid and uses they/them pronouns and Dottingale is agender and has no preferences for pronouns. Most people use she or they for ol Dottie though.

Some style test chibis for Hybrid High - feat a new student!

A reminder of who these guys are cause I haven't posted about em in a while:

Percival "Percy" Hudson (first on left, upper row) (human - he/him) is a normal human about to head into high school when his single mother very suddenly remarries Moral Nightengale (not shown city fae/? hybrid - she/they). A principal at a high school that caters to specifically hybrid students. Those born of two different species parents. Percy must go through his awkward teen years in an unfamiliar, and frightening environment for someone who has been only been in all human environments his whole life.

During his time in the school, he eventually becomes familiar with a small group of students. (left to right after Percy) Turnip Daisymount (swamp fae/vampire hybrid - he/they), Dottingale Knives (cartoon/banshee hybrid - any pronouns), Cyraeni Pixose (naga/mermaid hybrid - they/them), upperclassman Bartholomew "Barbie" Harbor (kenku/goblin hybrid - he/him), upperclassman Sebastian Corrashell (bullywug/harpy hybrid - he/him), and upperclassman/student president of the gsa Marlowe Deadnettle (Hailosi/Cecaelia hybrid - he/him).

It's a coming of age story about growth and learning to accept people no matter what :^)
