HRHEHARRAHRHHARAHH CARNIVAL! GANGLE IS MAKING MY BRAIN ROT OH MY GOD /pos
i did a lil animation while i was sitting around at school today cuz i’ve been wanting to get good at animation (im complete ass at it please be nice 😔🙏🙏.)
(i based it off of drawings that mushy did teehee)
the drawings and the character were made by @sm-baby !! pls go follow them they’re amazing i swear-
POV: Some random smuck saw that scribbles could interact freely with everyone without consequences, so they thought they could just.. knock her out and replace her. Changed their avatar and everything.
However...
It wasn't very convincing.
《 I'd imagine Scribbles has such a vibe/everyone knows her so well that they'd immediately recognize if something was off/fake.》
(( Hope yall don't mind me drawing your ocs again sksksks))

Meet Ego!! My fancy, snobbish magician who needs to get his lizard-like snout out of the magic arts! He wasn’t initially “The Magician”, seeing as he actually bullied his official assistant out of the position and stole the wand from them, but that’s a story for another time.
I wanted to play around with a night sky palette for reasons I can’t really explain, ha ha. I always unconsciously attribute magic systems to sun/moon elements and such, so this was one of those cases.
His wand is the source of his power, thus, in the game it becomes necessary for the player to find a way to separate himself from said wand. Which is easier said than done, but no harm in trying!
The magic is holds of course has limitations and drawbacks—he can’t do anything with it, but he can do quite a bit. Anything curious or “disfiguring” is temporary, only lasting a few minutes. But it is an experience.
carnival au is of course by @sm-baby. Uber fun au, very swag, very neat. I can’t wait to draw more <3
Not a canon design its just my personal of how I envision them in my mind. my favorite piece would be pomni and caine, i mean look at them together they are so cute. And was about to put ragatha and kaufmo but i got lazy hehehe
i thought too hard about insect motifs got a little silly and made... a lot lmao
these versions of the characters are from @sm-baby's amazing digital carnival au!!
full images and rambling about insect choices are gonna get stuck under the cut... it'll be a bit long and i will be putting photos of real bugs down there so be mindful
pomni: "butterfly"
inspirational species are black swallowtails mostly for the shape, and malay red harlequins mostly for the pattern
carnival pomni's actually the one that kickstarted this whole set... i drew her hat in a way that reminded me of butterflies, went "wait...", then i fully leaned into it :)
jax: "centipede"
there was no specific species for jax. without being able to use color, they were too similar to pick any out... i have included a giant centipede just for reference though since it was mainly larger centipedes i used for inspiration
anddd there's a little bonus sketch for how pre-sentience jax might've looked with a centipede outfit... he gets a bug scarf and some goggles!
ragatha: "ladybug"
inspirational species was the twice-stabbed ladybug chosen because the inverted color scheme looked the best out of all the ones i tried, and also because it's a metal name and we know ragatha's good with a knife... stabby stab... i did add more than two spots to the dress though, it just looks cooler lol
gangle: "spider"
inspiration was the spinybacked orb weaver which i was absolutely ecstatic to find because come on that is the perfect spider for gangle like look at it!! it looks like her mask, it's got red, it's got gold on the limbs, literally twinning
zooble: "mantis"
inspiration was the spiny flower mantis which, like with gangle, i feel is pretty much perfect for zooble... they come in many colors (including pink), have abstract patterns, and it gave me the excuse to cover zooble in spikes :D fun
and no kaufmo because i'm lazy and he's dead (sorry kaufmo fans but am i wrong), and the rest don't have bug names that i know of?
i still want to draw the carnival characters in their regular looks sometime, i just got really really inspired by the idea of secret skins and bug-themed outfits and went a liiittle haywire :P
anyways if you read all that you're a real one and you've got too much time on your hands... if you didn't, i understand, i get wordy, sorry :'D okay i think that's all byeee
