Dream's design: most likely done! At least we're getting there. I don't know what kinda changes my brain will come up with later so consider this a (probably) temporary design lol
Below is a semi-coherent explanation for the last image
The 3rd image is like a visualisation of my notes on them, inspired by nature patterns. Dream and Nightmare are not total opposites of each other, but rather analogous to each other.
Resilience — Motion : their nature. Nightmare is prone to being static, while Dream is constant motion.
Continuity — Harmony : community. Dream likes the interconnectedness of large communities, while Nightmare prefers one-on-one and closer relationships.
Sensuality — Intensity : how they approach relationships. In their truest nature, Dream is like a blazing sun: intense and constant. If he clicks with you, then he'd be excited to fill in every corner that he can in your life. Meanwhile Nightmare is more like a cat: approaching only when he feels comfortable and when he wants to, even if it's rarely. But the weight/importance of his attention makes up for it (or not, depending what kind of attention you're getting..)
Connection — Stability : what both of them need to feel happy and safe in their lives. Funnily enough, it's also what they don't have.
Influence — Change : how they impact other beings/people, consciously and power-wise. Nightmare influences others by compounding on preexisting emotions/thoughts/insecurities/etc, making one more likely to do whatever (like for example fall into a depressive episode). Dream, on the other hand, doesn't do subtlety and smashes through (or into) anything, outright forcing one to change their mood or mindset. His powers walk along the line of hypnosis in that regard.
I can’t decide if I want her name to be “Rozha” or “Carter”. I guess one could be an alter alias.
Here is the rough draft:
She’s based off the Australian Cashmere Goat.
She’s about an inch or 2 taller than Roman; her hair used to be to longer, but decided to cut it for her side job (and to be spiteful towards her parents).
Here is the finished final draft for Avenir:
Also here’s the lineart for just the body as well:
Dust Neue’s name is “Vani”.
Here is the rough draft:
She is based off the Orobica Goat.
She’s a bit shorter than Neue, and I based her hair off the beta/pilot design of Luz from Owl House.
I know that realistically, she would not exist in this universe (for obvious reasons), but basically she lives because of magic plot armor which I’ll explain on her character sheet.
A little sneak peek on a project for 2 of my Poppy Playtime OCs.
I want to brainstorm on some OCs for the TMNT fandom.
Now I have thought up of a few in the past, but never drew them or posted them anywhere, mainly made mental images and that’s it.
Here are the main 3 that I stuck with:
Artemisia, or Mia for short, was the turtles’ younger sister. She was found by Splinter a few years after he and the turtles mutated, and was adopted by them. Mia was either another mutated turtle or a yokai, depending on the universe. She was depicted with a long, white bandana, that could have pink sakura designs on the tails of it. Her weapon of choice was a combination of a Naginata and a Kyoketsu-shoge. She was named after an Italian artist named Artemisia Gentileschi.
Evan was a character that would be a possible love interest for Leo. He was either a dragon yokai disguised as a human, or a human that mutated into a moth, depending on the universe. He was depicted as someone of Chinese descent. He would’ve met the turtles by accident, either by running into them while on patrol or following them, thinking they were wearing costumes.
Adrian was a character that would be a possible love interest for Raph. She was always depicted as human that mutated into a turtle, usually the same species of turtle as Raph. She was the daughter of a zookeeper that took great care of the animals, but her favorites were the reptiles and amphibians. She was quite knowledgeable about those types of animals, especially turtles. When meeting the turtles, specifically Raph, she was very excited and found them adorable.
I’m also working on some new OCs that are basically the products of experimentas involving DNA combinations of different animals. I have 2 so far.
One has the base of a Common Snapping Turtle that has the secondary base of a Nile Crocodile, and the combines DNAs of an African Bush Elephant and a Polar Bear.
The other one has the base of a Yellow-bellied Slider that has the secondary base of a Toothed Tiger Ichneumon Wasp, and the combined DNAs of a Pale Tussock Moth and a Panther Chameleon. This one is definitely a reference to the Parasitica episode from TMNT 2012.
I was gonna wait until I finish the notes & designs for some of the Revivors designs, but I really like how this one turned out.
So you guys get to have another sneak peek:
Here’s one with Azzy for height comparison:
I’m going to be doing the Dreemur Family (& a certain skeleton) first since I have a solid idea for their designs.
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I was doing some “research” for basically a “my take” of an AU, specifically Horrortale. But I also tried to revamp my list AUs that I want to draw Neue in, mainly AUs regarding the Bad & Star Sanses.
I’m currently working on a yearbook style headshots for all the AUs that I’m gonna draw Neue in (25 in total 🙃).
However, I wanted to discuss more about a story or slice of life headcanon for the “Sanses” & “Neues” within the Bad & Star Sanses, along with a few others that the Neues are friends with.
Main AUs
Horrortale
Dusttale
Something New/Killer AU
X-Tale
Underswap
Blank Template (My AU)
Dreamtale
I’m also gonna include some “Neues” who will have a bigger main role, but will eventually become more side/background characters: specifically Epictale & Underkeep Neue.
There’s another AU variant that’ll be included, Georgia or Gigi (Underlust Neue) which was inspired by @vantriloquist for Passion & Plum! I have a few ideas for him.
Basically it’s gonna be going over the “home-life” of the Bad Sanses & Neues, what they were like when they first got there, how their relationship works, & just generally more character building for my OCs.
I have posted some rough drafts for a few of the AUs listed above, but I’m definitely gonna be doing some touch ups/redesign once I get their personalities figured out.
It’s gonna generally revolve around Crimson (Horrortale Neue), Vani (Dusttale Neue), Sabon (Killer AU Neue) & Gisha (X-Tale Neue); with bits of Merrriweather (Underswap Neue) & Canvas (Blank Template Neue). I might include Eras & Lucida (Dreamtale “Neues”) along with a few joke “AUs” of an AU.
If ya’ll have questions or even your own headcanons for this, please comment them down below!
