Updated my gravity falls oc fic. Tell me what y'all think.

Toodles!

Made a Gravity Falls OC fic. Tell me what y'all think.

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.

One of Mati’s Favorites

I’m gonna be “Mati-fying” some more characters from the show.

I’m obviously gonna be doing the Pines (Should I do Dipper first or Stanford first), but I’ll do a few others as well (probably Gideon, Soos, Wendy, and of course our favorite demonic acute angled fiend: Bill).

Anyway, here is the Mati’s impersonation of Stanley:

Now I’ll probably need to explain a bit more regarding the limitations of Mati’s impersonation ability.

1. While Mati can impersonate hand-held objects/prop, it would be made from Mati’s body, meaning Mati can’t “let go” of said impersonating object, the same goes for accessories (hats, jewelry, gloves, etc.) Mati prefers not to impersonate these types of objects while impersonating due to the reasons stated above.

2. While impersonating an individual with glasses, Mati is unable to replicate glass from Mati’s body, resulting in the frames being empty.

3. Mati has certain impersonations that Mati will use for specific situations, but specifically ones that can “fight”, and will often replicate any weapons that the real individual has used (hence why Mati’s Stanley has brass knuckles).

4. If there’s an eye feature/design on the individual’s clothing/accessories, Mati will replicate the eye design has an actual eye, meaning Mati can see through that eye as well.

5. Mati can combine the features of a few individuals (it’s easier if the individuals have similar features to each other), or different ages/phases of a single individual (ex: combining the features of Stanley pre-portal and post-portal).

Here is one without the fez:

Who should I “Mati-fy” next?

Another Update

So…

Sorry I haven’t posted anything for about a month.

I was taking a small break and THEN…

I got sick for 2 weeks!

But I’m feeling better and I’m working on Mati’s impersonation of Stanley, which I’m excited for since Stanley is one of my favorites.

I’m almost done with the lineart, the coloring won’t take that long.

After I’m done with Stanley, which character should I Mati-fy next? I’m thinking Gideon or Mati’s best interpretation of Bill.

Ask Questions About Mati!?

So doing the concept art of Mati “impersonating” Stanley is taking a lot longer than I was hoping, Stan’s one my favorite characters so I it to look good which results in me creating too high standards, but don’t worry I’m still working on it.

For now though, you all can ask questions about Mati or my other characters (who haven’t been drawn yet). I’ll try to answer the best I can without giving too major spoilers.

So ask away!

Stanley Design

Sorry that it’s taking me so long this depiction of Mati impersonating other characters. Drawing human proportions are HARD, especially hands!

Anyway, here is my outline design of Stanley Pines:

I’m a bit wishy washy with the body since I wanted his belly to be more prominent, and I was having a hard time drawing his fez. I do have an outline without the fez:

I’m getting ready to do the outline of Mati’s Stanley and the coloring.

Who Should I “Mati-fy” Next?

So if you have seen my recent post, Mati has the ability to “impersonate” any individual that Mati has seen.

I used Mabel as an example, mainly because I like to imagine that Mabel befriended Mati when her & Mati first met.

This also gives me an excuse to “redesign” characters from the show.

I was gonna go through all the Pines, but I figured it would be fun to mix it up a bit.

So who should I “Mati-fy” next?

Now there’s 2

Mati has many abilities both known & unknown.

One of these abilities is that Mati is able to change Mati’s appearance to anyone that Mati has seen. However, the form is not a perfect replica, & most likely used for intimidation rather than “blending in”.

Mati is able to adjust & change the color/size/thickness of Mati’s body to mimic skin, clothing, accessories & hair; along with being able to form facial features like a mouth, teeth, nose & iris/pupils. However Mati is unable to form eyebrows, makeup & “natural” internal organs. Mati does have some difficulties forming shoes, resulting the impersonation’s feet to still look hoof-like.

Example: Mabel Pines

First impressions with the Pines was not the greatest, then again, if you saw that wouldn’t you react the same way?

Another one of Mati’s abilities, that isn’t depicted above, is that Mati is able to mimic other’s voices. However this works differently to how this ability is normally explained.

Mati can hear & “store” the sounds of words that Mati has heard. Mati can then use these words to communicate. Imagine Bumblebee from Transformers but instead of using a radio, Mati’s repeating words that Mati has heard to communicate. Mati is able to “keep” words for about a couple of months, however Mati can keep words that hold emotional or sentimental value for as long as decades.

Should have seen Stanford’s face when he heard Stanley screaming his name, only to find Mati calmly standing there.

Also you may have noticed that no pronouns are used when describing Mati, this another one of Mati’s abilities. It feels natural to those who are affected by this, even Mati doesn’t know why this happens.

Mabel Design & What’s next?

I’m currently working on a character sheet that will show/explain a few of Mati’s powers/abilities. This upcoming one will have some uncanny valley sort of elements, which some might find disturbing.

I’ll be using Mabel, & the Pines in general, to showcase Mati’s abilities.

I’m still working on the sheet but for now, here’s an outline of my Mabel design:

Why are braces so hard to draw!?

Mati Character Sheet

I have finally finished the character sheet for my OC: Mati!

I’ll be creating another character sheet for Mati to explain Mati’s abilities & effects on the residents/visitors of Gravity Falls.

Here’s a pic of the character sheet without the words:

And here’s one with a different background & showing Mati’s name:

Palm Beans!

Whoever is creating Mati’s character sheet sure is taking their sweet time. (It’s me…I’m taking my sweet time).

Anywho, here is a pic of Mati’s beans:

Why is Mabel Standing like That?

Just sketching out a rough draft with Mabel, I’ve been trying a new rough draft technique.

Basically I stick figure the general pose that I want, then I highlight the “body” & then use that to create the outline. I definitely like this technique vs the one I use to do (which I’ll still use for more detailed work).

Oh look, Mati’s there too!

Gravity Falls OC Sneak peek.

I’m currently working on the ref/info character sheet for my OCs, which I’ve given names to all of them, I’ll give some information about them in a later post.

Anyway, here is a sneak peek of Mati:

Should I make a Gravity Falls OC? [UPDATE]

So the poll still has 3 days left, but I decided to change 2 out of the 5 characters: specifically the succubus & runaway test experiment.

I felt like they wouldn’t work well in Gravity Falls, plus I couldn’t fit them well with a story idea for these characters.

I replaced the succubus with…..a unicorn! Yes, the same unicorn species from The Last Mabelcorn. I thought their interactions with the other characters would be more comical. They still have the same “abilities” as the unicorns from the show, but I decided to add a few more:

Able to transform into a human, but still has the original color of their mane & eyes.

Can create rainbows (this would evolve into something else later).

Can create unlimited amount of glitter from horn or hands.

Able to “magically” lift small objects with horn, can lift bigger objects/people but takes more energy.

Actually has the ability to see the morality of a soul, but they are unaware of this power.

Next I replaced the experiment with, hear me out…..a dog! Now for a better explanation, this is a scientist in a dog body, this is a result of a failed experiment. The backstory is a bit long, but a simplified version is that they were researching & testing out ways to expand the human life. This obviously failed, but also kinda succeeded. But that’ll be explained later.

I’m also working on their basic information, like what they do, their names, backstory, etc.

I’ll start doing concept art for these characters when the poll is closer to being done.

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.

something i find funny is that TDDWP’s billcheal dynamic is literally just:

> person A having a bad day and like talking about it and shit

> person A starts crying

> person A looks up during a pause, and person B’s just fucking standing there like

and they just fucking keep crying back and forth cause “if you cry im gonna cry” but they’re both already bawling their eyes out.
