Would You Sell Your Soul To Save Yourself…?

I really like making little animatics… a couple characters I really haven’t touched in a while. I mentioned I was changing some stuff in regards to this story so this applies to that, except this is kinda a dramatized version of what actually happened for this scene/topic in canon for the sake of the song choice. Would have been a lot smoother and less intense.

I should get around to posting my animatics to YouTube maybe.

The man of legends, the wonderful Jack of All Trades has always been a curious character among the lands.

When traversing townships, many swoon at the idea of his legacies. He’s shared with them bountiful tales of the times he’s traversed great heights and slayed giants, or when he convinced ol’ winter not to get cold feet, or the times he’s leaped over merciless flames with ease. He’s the talk of every town he enters, and people shower him with wonder and praise! Though he’s got a high number to his record, he’s a bit of a drifter, but knows where to call home— safety stowed away deep in these woods, far away from society where absolutely no one will find him. Internally, he’s not much for small talk, or even talk at all, only making stops in town to do whatever he pleases, including sitting himself at an old saloon piano and playing some tunes to keep the atmosphere bustling.

Now, even though he’s such a popular figure, it’s no surprise he’s honestly a pretty cold and condescending figure. Those stories are… well, nowadays he never confirms or denies. When you’re so popular, it’s the same old thing every time you enter a setting that knows you by face and name. But maybe he likes the same routine, just not the people that come with it. But this routinely man will find his usual schedule cut short in the presence of a woman bearing a yellow umbrella. He’ll find her a curiously shaken woman… but he’ll see that she has something he wants.

And he’s got a couple friends who are gonna make sure they get what they want… supposedly. But that’s just another story no one can confirm or deny.

———

With talking about concepts for characters stemming from fairytales, it felt inevitable someone would come up with a Jack, hm? Of course they would. Despite an idea idling in the air regarding "Ye Olde Florida Man" himself, a small suggestiom from me prompted the creation of the man we know and love now.. Orrrr... Don't know, should I say?

A wielder of a trusty sword and his faithful companion an oppelousas paint horse, he's quite a flexible guy, very capable of doing the flashiest of things iust for the hell of it. One thing you can trust is the fact that no one knows what's true and what's not...

And that mystery goes much deeper than we think. ;)

My beloved contribution to my friend @camping-with-monsters 's Original story Duck Duck Goose.

Hehe.. I have to keep hush now.

See you.💜🩵🩷

SORRY TUMBLR PEOPLE

I HAVE BROUGHT GOODS

FEED

FOR YOU HAVE A FEAST NOW

I think

Okay but in all seriousness, i have completed two references and also made more concept designs for some others, heh-

So for now, we look to the references, because up first. The man himself.

Tatiana Darling? Wally Qwartz? Idk. But I can say thay he is hot stu-[BOOING CHORUS]

Up next, Neon Frank and his bot boys!

I will say that the bots do likely have 'human' forms, but I didn't feel too bothered at the time to worry about it, besides, Frank's in the spotlight, who really cares? (Some may and I'm looking at you with understanding eyes)

And now, for the last finished piece I have

Sweethearts, the both of them🥺🥺

Oh how sweet they always are with one another

(Frank threatens to launch himseld into space to follow after Eddie when the protagonist launch him into space... And speaking of the protagonists.. Let's just say [the] (Vinyl) Neighborhood isn't quite the same without You ;) wink wink)

And now for a few concepts!

DJ Howdy Pillar! Just a local radio show host looking to get local bands' voices heard even if they're all starting out small!

Since there is no actual shop in game, and the fact DJ Zam is an actually pretty prominent NPC (plus funny canon voice for Howdy), who else but Howdy for Zam's place? Welcome to Howdy MD people! :)

Now?

Let me just say that B.B. Beagle and Tatiana Darling (still dunno) are still very much good friends, even despite the large age gap. To Wally, it feels like.. It feels like he knows Barnaby, but on a deeper level, like they were old friends somehow, and they were reunited.. His jokes make him laugh as if the man knew exactly what made him tick.

Weird...

Though, dogs are trult man's best friend

And one more design (which is definitely very subject to change [to make look softer and more accurate to a youngling])

Poppy!

Now, I still have yet to truly figure out what is going on, but I will say Poppy is definitely very much the youngest in this AU, and unlike in most other places, she is not the mother figure, she is loved ever so gently by the rest (shown by the way Frank loathes your name for having destroyed her piano. The way it tears are the heart strings of onlookers to see her precious instrument shatter, the shards scattered wildly upon the floor of the stage.

How cruel of you. She's only 9..

Bonus obligatory Howdy Bean based off of Cofi's lil beans🥺🥺 I had to, it was legally required by law or else I'd be sniped on sight

But anyhow, I suppose this concludes the update. I'm not entirely sure if I can even explain more or if I even have more of an idea to explain, but if there are any questions, by all means send in an Ask and I'll try to answer them all without giving too much away until I can truly get things going. ;)))

See you :0!

And sorry again for no update in forever.😭😭😭

NSR AU for Welcome Home. Check it-

I Don't have everyone down, but i can tell you for sure that:

• Poppy will be taking Yinu's placing, maybe as the mother and a child is a little chick, i'm still considering it

• Mayday and Zuke are replaced by Y/N, but.. A Y and an N. Maybe they'll be twins instead of the whole best buds? I'm unsure of this, but hmhm-

• Barnaby is DK West, good friend to Wally, likely goes by BB Beagle

• Howdy will take the place as DJ Zam since it feels the most fitting based off of the canon voice, besides i don't think there is much of an actual shop?

• Julie and her family ars actually Dodo, Remi, Sofa, and Tila! They just happened to make it based off of Julie herself since she was the friendliest face out of all four of them.

On the other hand, so far i do have a few of the others planned out, and i will likely be doing a full in depth drawing for everyone soon..

I'm thinking along the lines of the Game, and that Vinyl City is actually Vinyl Neighborhood (even if it is still a bit large)

Home is bitter towards Wally, but he really doesn't understand why. It's basically the same between them as it is Tatiana and Kliff themselves. (THE FACT THAT TATIANA CALLS KLIFF A PIECE OF PLA K FEELS SO FITTING FOR THIS PLEASE)

Barnaby will be a good friend of Wally, of course, and Wally will still desire order like Tatiana, but it was likely because the entirety of NSR in this universe had been together, but stress got to Wally, Sally let her dramatic attitude take over, and pretty much everyone just.. Had a big fall out. They still struggle to power the city, and it may be because someone is tampering with Wally's life even further after all was said and done.

Anyhow, this will take some more time to fix together

Julie Joyful as Sayu

Frank Frankly as Neon J and Butterflies as the bots

Sally Starlet as Eve

Eddie Dear as DJ Subatomic Supernova

Wally Darling as Tatiana Qwartz

Home as Kliff

And i do have a few various sketches on the side aside from basic sketches for the ideas (i kind of got obsessed with Wally/pos)

Yes, Eddie and Frank are pretty much together (Neon Frank has threaten to send himself to space when DJ Eddie was sent to Orbit)

For now, that is all, thank you

The preposterous Pied Piper makes it’s heinous debut!

With an intimidatingly permanent jolly expression to it’s face and a constant knack for laughing and giggling, it’s no question why this meticulously designed specimen is quick to make others flee! But don’t be deceived by it’s raggedy, silly exterior! For I side this humanoid build is a great multitude of… rats! A seemingly hive mind of an entity, inside of this soft sentient shell is the internal makeup of countless vermin it commands! Like seriously. They’re nothing but rats inside it. It has no other make up inside. It’s just. Rats.

But deep down, this whimsical, giggly entity has a darker origin to it’s motive. That old Mother Goose— yes, the very one after our pregnant protagonist Einin— has piqued this entity’s interest to the max. Joined along a small band of it’s equally sadistic allies, The Pied Piper has set it’s sights for control of that beastly bird with quite the cult-like obsession. Why? Who knows! Perhaps recognized power, or maybe it seeks alliance to carry out more wicked deeds alongside each other? And Einin…? She’s the utmost perfect bait to allow them to get ahold of that creature… if bait means sacrifice, in this case.

It would pull just about any trick in the book to get exactly what it wants. With a trusty smoking pipe along side him that it blows an oddly wispy essence out, it can easily lure in just about whatever it wants if the mind is feeble enough to fall impressionable to the falsified truths they will whisper. To him, nothing dare stand in it’s way of it’s cultivated goal… not even a backstabber.

A MASSIVE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO’S HELPED PUT THIS DESIGN TOGETHER!

HUGE thanks to @menthum-mint who came up with the concept and @gongedtornado for creating the original design concept art!!

And also huge thanks to @shroingushour, @pazam, @aggresively-doesnt-know, and @pizzabits who all helped contribute to design tweaking, ideas, further input, and many more details that helped bring this character to life! I think this is the largest amount of people I've had collaborate with a single character design/concept and l'm so happy that this came out so perfect!! This is seriously one of my favorite designs for the story.

And of course, thank you to everyone else who's been helping with further design and development! Y'all are real ones <3

I AM A SUCKER FOR ERIOLE HE IS.

SQISHYY. LOOKING. GODODD IHFHFH/POS POS POS POS POS POS

AAAAAAA

WHO’S OC IS IT ANYWAY!?

So I came up with a bit of a drawing challenge with my friend @menthum-mint where we create an OC based on the OTHER’S common OC tropes! Things like features, anatomy, personalities, backstories, and whatever get driven and inspired by the other person’s characters! Basically you end up creating OCs that tend to be really fresh from your usual concepts because— technically speaking— your using different concepts!

This guy I ended up creating is Eriole! He’s got a bit of a smokey, wispy exterior with a pretty intricate outfit design! My friend does a lot of smokey/fiery designs with hollow, pupil-less eyes and pretty detailed outfit designs, so that was sure adopted for him! He’s also got a unique ability to him about him being able to change his body colors or camouflage more like an octopus’s rather than a chameleon’s! Something my friend might also incorporate on various occasions is said character having some ironic element contrasting to their abilities— so despite Eriole having a color changing gimmick, the man’s actually epileptic and probably should be careful about when and how he utilizes his strengths…!

Genuinely this little challenge was a whole lot of fun!! I’m also doing another one with another friend so be on the lookout for that!

Here’s the link to my friend’s side of the challenge! They’re both best friends hehe :))

#as you can see #i love them #i SWEAR TO GOD. #PLEASE. #THEY'RE THE BESTEST OF FRIENDS #PLEASE #character design

[menthum-mint]

Hey wtf this isnt the average Ruth oc™️

Yeah :) it isn't, because the tropes ain't mine!

A friend of mine pitched the idea that we could challenge ourselves to take very common and reoccurring traits and aspects of one another's characters and make our own from it!

So, looking at theirs, I took away soft and fluffy, human but not exactly human entirely, funky eye design, wings, horns, and tail.

And here is Dalama.

Dalama is a girl who reaches abouuuuttt early 20s regarding age, and is constsntly clinging to her tail for comfort, but also out of keeping it away from some who'd pull it to hurt her. Her wings are of course practical for flying, but they tend to flap about when she's excited, expressing thinga greatly through body language. The fluff around her neck is part of her rather than just an accessory. Her fore arms and lower legs carry this same trait, but are always covered.

To go more in depth, I practically took a good look at our boy Cyrmic Danderdilly and plucked away the soft plush aspects and incorporated them onto Dalama. Her shirt and all sortttt of stems from Einin 🥺 and.. uh. Indirectly daisy though that isn't a good person to pick from.

Regardless. Carrying on, many also possessed wings and Horns (looking at Cyrmic again for the horns) and of course once more, Cyrmic's tails.. But only Tail here. Many of the characters also tends to own intricate eyes wether they'd be buttons, no eyes at all, multiple, or just very peculiar for humans.

Her legs are ended as hooves.... uh..

If you can't tell who really inspired her at this point then uh, don't @ me, perish/JJJJJ

Her personality sort of... Kind of screams neurodivergent/lh/pos

I think I partially exuded my own hyper side to her and gave her the gift of being cool/gen

Her best friend happens to be my friend's interpretation of the traits I have :)! She also chirrups between her words like a hiccup, and it canonically sounds much like a budgie...

Anyhow.. I dunno what else to write but :) yeagh.. here's.. uegah... hehehe...

OI HEADS UP. @camping-with-monsters

#ocs #oc stuff #yeagh #my friend comes up with lots of stuff and hehe :) #this is fumy... #yegghd ..

He can do something very freaky to make up for the fact i coueln't figure out how to draw three heads- Named him Rith.
