MONGRELTOWN MISCHIEF: NEW REDESIGNS & SOME STORY INFO
Tumblr media
as much as i love my initial designs of the rat & rabbit duo, i had to scrap them because they ended up not really matching the vibe of the setting i came up with.
so here are the new ones! plus there's a cat fella now, but as you can see, it's Julius, not Pete! don't worry, soon you'll see him too.
now, i've been working on the actual story of MM, and here's what i have so far. warning for very brief mentions of death, drowning, and criminal stuff, i guess.
Willie and Julius make up the crew of a steamboat named "Iron Will". Julius is the captain, he's in charge of navigation, keeping track of the resources, paperwork and other important stuff. He might come off as rude and harsh, even overbearing at times, but it's only because he takes his job very seriously and just generally has a lot of things to be worried about. Julius is very responsible, and he's got a kind heart and a great sense of humor.
Willie is a deckhand, pretty much doing the dirty work. They're a cheerful, rambunctious scamp, who's clearly hiding some inner turmoil behind their silly jokes and crazy antics. Often described by others as childish and reckless, it has a hard time keeping up with society's demands and expectations. (hey, Willie's canonically autistic, if you're wondering. he just like me fr.)
Willie and Julius rarely, if ever, get along. But despite their constant banter and bickering, they try their best to look out for each other. They both detest their job and the man they work for. Who is none other than the ruthless and fearsome crime lord Pete Bullet, boss of the local mafia. Aside from various cargo transportation, he often tasks them with disposing of evidence or carrying out executions. So the actual plot of the story basically starts with the Iron Will's crew having to kill a guy. You know, tie him to some concrete blocks and let him go for a swim. The issue is, they CAN'T do that. Because that guy turns out to be Willie's long lost brother Lucky! Thus, start the glorious misadventures of our critters, as they decide to claim the boat for themselves and try to escape the wrath of the mob.

had a dream about a cartoon with this funny looking postman as the main character. here i kinda tried to emulate the trippy evershifting style that it had.
