I’ve decided that I’ll draw some of the Smiling/Nightmare Critter OCs in my free time, along with them interacting with the other Smiling/Nightmare Critters.
I’ll list the characters’ names in the poll below, with descriptions of each character below the poll.
Sleepy Sheepy
Sleepy was a simply a rough draft concept to replace Catnap after the scandal, but was scrapped shortly after.
Their base design was then used to create Baba Chops, by inverting the colors & changing the scent.
Their appearance was a sheep with thick white wool & black limbs, along with tan hooves & horns. They wore a cloud shaped pendant with 3 Zs in it, & would’ve had German Chamomile as their scent.
Their personality wasn’t completely developed yet, but was said to have a drowsy demeanor but was a good listener & would’ve given good advice to the Smiling Critters.
Mary Little
Mary was created from the scrapped concept of Sleepy, & was a 1991 limited edition toy to celebrate the 3-year anniversary of the Smiling Critters.
Her appearance is a lamb with short white wool & limbs, & black hooves. She wears a bell shaped pendant, & has Roman Chamomile as her scent.
Her personality is described has innocent, overly curious, & a bit naive & gullible. She views everyone has her friend & wants everyone to get along.
She’ll often try to invite the Nightmare Critters to join in the Smiling Critters’ games to feel included, but this would lead to some disagreements & tension between the Smiling/Nightmare Critters.
Skunky Funk
Skunky was a scrapped/recalled toy that was created for the Nightmare Critters toy line. She would’ve been a counterpart to Sleepy.
Her appearance is a skunk with dark blue-violet fur with white stripes. She wore a housefly shaped pendant, & has Ambergris as her scent.
Her scent was actually the reason for her being recalled, complained that it was too pungent & smelled “gross”.
Her personality is described has moody, reserved & snippy. She prefers to be alone, secretly worried that the other Nightmare Critters don’t like her. She’s very condescending towards others & very self-deprecating towards herself.
Liar-Lier
Liar-Lier was created as a counterpart for Mary Little, & was released shortly after Mary as a limited edition toy as well.
His appearance is an opossum with dark brown fur, cream face & belly fur, & peach hand, feet & tail. He wears a crossed finger shaped pendant, & has Patchouli as his scent.
He’s personality is described to be mischievous, sarcastic, & a bit of a prankster. He’s known to lie a lot to cause fights between both the Smiling Critters & even the Nightmare Critters. He loves drama.
He’s close friends with Rabie Baby, who tells him the latest gossip which he’ll then exaggerate to start fights. If he’s caught, he’ll “play dead” to startle & freak out the Smiling Critters, this trick doesn’t that well with most of the other Nightmare Critters.
Text in Photo: Sleepy Sheepy is a calm, yet wise critter; soft-spoken and will happily give helpful advice to any of their friends. Their best advice? To get a good night’s rest. After all, you can’t have a fun filled day if you can barely keep your eyes open.
Scent: German Chamomile
————————————————————————
I’m gonna be doing each character in 3 different styles: the cartoon depiction, the Bigger Body depiction, & one where I basically do an overly detailed redesign because why not.
I’m not gonna lie, in order to get the proportions & style right, I used a technique I saw on YouTube where you basically use different body parts of the critters to create a character.
I also tried to use font that looked similar, but I couldn’t find one that was exactly the same, so sorry if the fonts weird.
I used Bobby’s torso, Bubba’s left arm, Craftycorn’s legs, & Baba’s right arm & head. The wool, face ears, horns, tail, & pendant I freestyle.
I really like how Sleepy turned out and I can’t wait to do the rest, especially the bigger body versions cause I like taking cute things and make them scary.
Also I know the poll isn’t over yet, but I originally wanted it to be open for a few days, not a whole week. Based off the results so far, it seems that I’ll be doing Mary Little next.
Fun Little Idea For Those Who Have Artblock Or Want Something To Draw
Ok so this is gonna sound a bit strange, but hear me out.
What if the concept of cowboys originated from a different country?
Often the term/idea of cowboys is often associated with the U.S.
However, the origins of the cowboy tradition is from the Spanish, starting in 1519 when the Spanish arrived in the Americas. It started in Mexico, where the native cowboys were called “Vaqueros”.
Basically this challenge is to come up with a concept/appearance of “cowboys” if they originated or are associated with a different country.
This XNeue’s name is “Mono”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Bagot Goat.
He’s over an inch taller than Neue, and I decided to make his horns look like a “X” cause “X Tale”.
I didn’t know what to do with his pupils so I just did a X in one and a + in the other.
He’s a nervous boi.
A lil sneak peek of what’s (or rather who’s) next
Let’s see how far he’ll go this time.
He doesn’t remember who he is…
He doesn’t remember who he was…
He doesn’t remember where he’s going…
He doesn’t remember why he needs to run…
But he does remember one thing…
She lied…
Here’s a better look at Asgore without the shadow:
The poses for the reference sheets of the overlords are gonna look stiff and uninteresting, but that’s because I’m just trying to show off the clothing design and general appearance of the character.
Now onto the character:
I’m still trying to figure out a color scheme for her, and finding designs for 1820–1830 Russian Ballet attire was a lot harder than it needed to be.
She’s gonna be the tallest of the Theatre Overlords, I’m still trying to figure out a height, but she’s gonna be taller than Valentino. She seems to carry a lot of weight when moving, you can hear her approaching like an upcoming train.
I’ll go more into her design when I post the base design with colors.
I’m currently working on my Hazbin Hotel Character. I have a basic rough draft of her body, but still trying to figure what she should wear.
Like I explained in a previous post, she has Dissociative Identity Disorder, or Multiple Personality Disorder. Now I don’t know how disorders/illnesses from previous/earth lives work in Hazbin Hotel, but I imagine that it would transit to Hell with the sinner, or changes to a more extreme/supernatural version of it that could effect the sinners powers.

I’m still trying to figure out names for these personalities, along with backstories. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for improvement, please comment.
I’m going to start working on my ‘ex-worker’ OC, but I’m going to display him in a different kind of format. Mainly through found documents & items, & even written out ‘commercials/broadcast’.
I’m still trying to figure out the style to draw these characters in, I like the cartoon style but the ‘realistic’ style works better for darker themes. I’ll probably bounce between the 2.
I’m also planning on making a second account just for Poppy Playtime OCs, still thinking of a name though. I’ll be moving all of my ppt art to that account once it’s been created.
Anyway, I’ll give the basic background about this character:
The main premise is that he is a parent of one of the orphans in Playcare. Basically his wife took the child there without him knowing until it was too late.
After some unfavorable actions, he got a job at Playtime Co to find his child. However, he got fired & even jailed due to some violent behavior.
He just got released, & under a new identity, he comes back to the now dilapidated factory with the delusion that his child is still there somewhere.
His name is Martin Redd, but that’s not his true name. That will revealed in due time.
By the way, this guy is like in his early 50s during chapters 1-4, so you can imagine what traversing through the factory is like for him.
I’ll reveal more of his character through future posts. But to simplify him as much as possible: he’s a loving father with good intentions, but makes incredibly bad life decisions.
He got a little hungry
Here is the rough draft of one of the alternate personalities for my OC. He is a dog demon, specifically a German Shepherd.
This is personality is best described as a disgruntled cop/detective, who will do anything to solve a case. He’s basically a stereotypical detective: clever, perseverant, thinks outside the box, and definitely has problems with alcoholism and smoking. Imagine those old black and white detective shows combined with Sebastian Castellanos from the Evil Within.
He’s not the most social person, however he knows how to get someone talking through drinks and persuasion. He tries to gather as much information as possible before making consequential decisions.
