Put a little too much effort into making this little guy work, hehe

A shameless little self insert that I've wanted to polish up in a while. Also, it is an effort to try and get used to the CRK style.

More Edentide things, now with more horse(?)

Created by Mr. Trinity, these four help educate deceased kids about slightly more complex issues that may cause their deaths, such as perishing from preventable diseases, starvation, or being victims of war.

They also play in a metal band called 'End Times'. Fun!

More info and art under the cut!

Jerm (He/They) is the lead singer and guitarist of 'End Times'. Whilst he loves his bandmates and making music dearly, he's an anxious man who fights with feelings of agoraphobia and feeling disconnected with the world around him.

Marr (He/Him) is the drummer of 'End Times' and loves it with a passion. He's very much the binding glue of the band with his strong sense of camaraderie and vibrant spirit... at the cost of having to be told to use his 'inside voice' frequently and to be reminded that the neighbours probably don't want an animal pelt as a gift.

Mort (They/He/It) is the bass guitarist of 'End Times' on the side. His main job is a reaper, helping usher children's souls into either The Blue or Kingdom Come. How he can do that en masse is through something he personally calls "Astral Projection Shadow Clone Jutsu" which is probably the least complicated way of explaining it.

Limmy (He/It) is the incredibly talented key-tar player of 'End Times' and whilst can sing beautifully - prefers not to speak most of the time in favour of ASL. Limmy has a ravenous appetite for anything with corn in it and keeps an upsetting amount of corn syrup bottles in the pantry.

...

Now... there used to be a fifth horseman, but due to creative and moral differences, one of the members had to split from the group.

Zel used to be a back-up singer in 'End Times' but says that he felt the gang were 'holding him down'. Nowadays, he's trying to make it big as a rapper but sadly is god-awful on the mic. He refuses to take any classes or advice on improving his lyrics, stubbornly believing in his natural talent. He refuses to tell anyone how he's getting the money for all that expensive hype-beast gear.

Some more Edentide things, this time some side characters and one (1) antagonist much later down the storyline.

Abel and Adam&Eve are dead, so their souls aren't restricted to how they looked in life and can be whatever they want.

Abel, after suffering a "mysterious accident," decided he would much rather be in the vague shape of his favourite animal. He's a good kid who absolutely didn't deserve the fate he got... but everyone will tell you he's a bit of a smart ass in The Blue.

Adam&Eve decided they didn't like being separated in death, so they decided to occupy the same space as each other in one 'body'. They can unfuse at any point, but would rather not.

Cain is. Well, he's sulking on the Moon these days after being punished with immortality by Mr. Trinity. Might have something to do with killing his brother in a jealous rage, but I guess we will never truly know, eh.

More Edentide things, now starring the Seven Heavenly Virtues and Mr. Trinity himself!

Trinity is a big, round, and jolly fellow. Kids that die before they got to live their full lives, more often than not, find their way to The Blue - a mystical dimension made with children's loves and comforts in mind. As Trinity himself is a product of imagination via various kids' interpretations of God, he feels it's his mission to give the best he can offer to those who lose their lives much too early.

He wasn't always this earnest and level-headed, especially in his Old Testament 'younger years', but that backstory is for another day...

Now, for the Virtues!

Castitas - or 'Cassie' as an 'old friend' used to call her - is a quiet sort and prone to taking things very, very personally. Nevertheless, she prides herself in celebrating the love children can share with others and remain true to those you care about, never betraying or turning their backs on them.

She's prone to being self-critical and worries her desires make her 'dirty', somehow. She is the only person who sees herself like this.

An angel of few words, Temperantia prefers to be in an assisting role as opposed to taking charge. He's quiet, a listener, and more than ready to get you anything you need rather than assume he knows what you want...

... So much so that he gets a little nervous when people ask him his opinions on anything. So used to holding back his feelings, Temperantia finds it hard to open up about what he really thinks.

The teeniest, weeniest Virtue. Humilitas is a bit of a favourite amongst the kids for her adorably small stature (nearly mouse-sized!) and silly disposition. She's a mischief maker, a little prankster with a masters in physical comedy. Kids love to make her fairy houses out of knick-knacks and foliage in The Blue, which Humilitas treats as her many holiday homes.

Despite her quiet voice, Humilitas can have a proper set of lungs on her when she's mad at you... and you may want to watch your shoes to check if she's putting matches in them.

A bouncy and bubbly angel with a naive adoration for the aesthetic of americana. Modelled by Trinity after a bald eagle, Caritas is dying to explore the wider expanse of America to finally set her eyes on the mysterious "July 4th", "cowboy horse" or "big burger".

In fear of breaking her heart over America's various and ongoing Horrors(tm), Trinity has only really had Caritas explore The Blue and very small parts of Michigan. It is, however, only a matter of time until the rose-tinted glasses are shed. Caritas is willing to manifest the world she truly desires through the power of unconditional love and generosity.

A sleepless angel with an unwavering loyalty to his family and the children he protects in The Blue. Industria, sadly, is very prone to injury as he prioritises protecting others over himself. A wing-ear covers the shrike-like angel's missing eye from an accident due to such recklessness.

An 'all work and no play' angel to a T, he's a stickler for rules and seen as the Big Narc of the Trinity family.

Patientia is sort of like a fun and storied uncle with many experiences under his belt to tell you about... and a bit of a scheming control freak. You wouldn't know it, though, with this angel's unwavering pleasantness and patience that hides a slightly duplicitous vulture underneath.

That being said, he'd never betray his family or any child. Patientia is simply keen to have his eyes, ears, and brain tuned in to anything that may endanger The Blue... just that little bit of control offers him some peace of mind.

A gentle soul for children needing a friendly face to open up to. Benevolentia is a well-read and witty gal. Whilst she loves all her siblings, she can feel a sense of detachment from them at times as they're not all the most well-adjusted or worldly people. She finds it easier to talk to other humans or The Holy Family (Yosef, Miriam and Daystar Trinity).

Dear old Dad!

Extension from my previous post about my project Edentide... surely, all those Demon Lords have a maker? Well, indeed, they do, and it's a very friendly but eccentric father who looks and sounds like he's straight out of the 50's but DOESN'T have troubling views about women!

What's that ominous shape? Well, it's still Lucius, just... what he looks like to people he's less willing to be chummy around, like adults who made it their mission to hurt children in various ways. And fascists (they tend to be one in same, though).

The Demon Lords also show a very different side to them when tormenting said damned adult souls in Kingdom Come's Maintenance Halls. After all, you're not really going to be frightened by a big cuddly toy, are you?

Some spooky monsters under the cut!!

(CW for body horror, skulls, veins, patterned holes, eye contact, insect imagery, harsh colours)

[ackdraws]

Redesigned some old characters from a project I had whilst I was in college. Edentide was a story following a little girl summoning a Demon Lord as her best friend - but due to her age, ends up summoning a demon that specifically looks after the souls of deceased children that don't feel themselves "good enough" for heaven or are convinced they are evil.

These guys come in to scoop up these lost souls and offer therapy until the child feels ready to move on.

(Close ups and mini bios under the cut!)

Ira looks after kids that tended to have emotional regulation issues, mania, or anger management problems in a rough and tumble play area and rage rooms. Despite his dour expression and harsh affect, the guy is a massive softie - not just because he's a massive teddy bear.

Luxuria tends to children who are convinced that who they loved or how they loved made them "gross", "degenerate" or "unnatural"... as well as victims of CSA. She offers a social space for these children to bond with like-minded kids without the scrutiny or threat of elders with bad intentions for them. When not on the clock, she's glued to her tablet whilst watching doll restoration videos at 2x speed.

Gula works with children who had issues with food and body image - more often than not because of peers or guardians that instilled these problems. Gula tries to help children rebuild their relationships with food and help them not feel ashamed of eating via art therapy and cooking classes. He implements the art therapy mostly because he's itching to go to art college.

Avaritia looks after children who felt they wanted too much out of life. Be it material things or the love and respect of their families - all things a child can be called 'greedy' or 'needy' for having desired too greatly. Avaritia runs a mall where these kids can have all their wants and needs met with no payment required - other than 'Park Tokens' to buy things with... which are very easy to get. Ava mingles with the kids to help reassure them that there is no shame in asking for the things you want.

Invidia works with children who have been compared to others all their short lives, always told they needed to be like a sibling or a peer, that they were a disappointment compared to their 'betters'. Whilst Viddy helps children enforce their self-worth through therapy and positive reinforcement.. she also allows the children to put the damned souls of adults who have knowingly battered egos of kids like them into what she likes to call 'Viddy's Kid-Controlled House of Mirrors'.

Superbia's speciality is children who struggled with the pressures of being the 'gifted' kid, suffered with imposter syndrome, or shamed for the things they took pride in enjoying before death. He manages the housing district for Kingdom Come and gives the kids full reign on how they want their spaces to look without fear of judgement. Steadily, Superbia aims to chip away at the child's fear of disappointing others or issues with self-image with classes or workshops outside their living quarters.

Acedia works with disabled children. Children who couldn't 'overcome' their conditions and died early or were subject to crippling ableism in life. Acedia, more often than not, tends to work with kids with severe depression, executive dysfunction, or the physically disabled. Acedia overlooks accessibility arrangements in Kingdom Come and provides a low-sensory input space to unwind in. Acedia himself is physically disabled, having no feeling in his legs and dealing with narcolepsy. Thankfully, his psychically linked mobility aid can still help him function even in states of rest.

I have Tumblr.... Wow, almost forgot

Two logos for my project: Geofriends! Just a humble toy company to your left and a uhm.

A uh. A publisher? A game development team? A company, probably!

Sleepwell Island posting once again! This time, some humans.

In the universe that I and @harvest-honeymoon write together, humans that use magic or cast it will have a 'magical palette', hence why Captain appears to change colours to more twilight/night sky patterns when in enchanted garb.

Caldera, or 'The Fission', is my main antagonist for Book One with heavy ties to the protagonist, Captain.

Bnnuy?? You want freaking bbunnies???

Well, sure, I happen to have some on me right now. Some updated oc designs for a book series I want to make in the future at some point. These characters have been around since I was a ragamuffin teen mucking about in Spore online. Props to you if you remember me from that

For summarised context, these guys are part of a family unit that is in poverty, with a house at risk of falling into the ocean due to cliff erosion. Dagon was adopted by the Keplers as a baby but ran from home due to...complications, to put it simply.

Who this clownly Einstein lookin mferrrrrrr

A fusion of these two seemed fun in concept and in actually weirdly pleased with the crackpot alchemist look. Angel and Steven were gonna be written as friends in a fan plot I had in mind, set approx. 5 years after SU: Future. The story would eventually warrant their fusion.

If you don't know who Angelicall Stone is, here he is!

[ackdraws]

Been revisiting SU a lot and remembered an old oc I wanted to remake.

Their name is Angelicall Stone, or just 'Angel' for short. They're a run-away gem, having fled from their superior - known as 'The Jeweller'.

Angel's meagre premonitions had suddenly evolved into blasts of full-on clairvoyance, foreseeing their master, The Jeweller, finding Homeworld to retrieve 'his diamond of light for his Magnum Opus'.

Overcome with a feeling of grave dread, Angel fled The Jeweller and tried to head to Homeworld to find and warn the diamond in question, only to lose their way and crash to Earth.

Angelicall Stone functions similarly to a pearl where he's from, hence the similarities. Angel works to fulfil low stakes wishes that require very minor reality bending to manifest and to serve The Jeweller. Angel can also turn himself invisible... but oddly enough, they can be detected by the strong odour of ozone he emits.

Angel doesn't actually know what 'gems' are. The only creatures they know about that are remotely similar are something he calls 'alloys'.

Some characters for a digital horror concept of mine - Geofriends! I'm the kind that likes to keep a lot of things close to my chest until reveal, so I can only say so much about them.

Image ID and full renders of the characters under the cut!

[Image ID: A lineup of human characters for a digital horror project. From left to right:

Private Investigator Hadley Wolf - a very tall and broad shouldered older woman with burgundy, long hair, a ruddy face, and a set of small eyes with little spectacles on her large nose. She is in an orange scarf, a large overcoat, dress shirt, long skirt, and boots. She is investigating a mysterious missing person's case and also asked to perform a wellness check on someone's son.

Esme Wolf - a frumpy 20-something, Hadley's cantankerous daughter. She is a pastel goth girl with a questionable teal and hot pink hair dye job, a black and lacy skirt / sweater combo, stripy socks, and spiky combat boots. She is riddled with freckles and acne scars and has a large set of square glasses on.

Everett Marm - an effeminate 20-something with bright blonde, spiky hair. He has some stylish silver piercings on his brow, nose, lip, and ears. He has a little necklace resembling three jellybeans on his neck. He's in a purple sweater with a pin of his brand mascot (a Jellybean jester) on it. He's in checkerboard trousers and green trainers. He is a popular Streamer.

Winslow Wood - a twiggy 20-something, skittish and unkempt. He's covered in acne scars, self-inflicted skin pickings, sparse facial hair, and his skin is pallid. He looks like he hasn't slept in days. He has dark red hair and is in an equally dark red hoodie with black skinny jeans. He is a video editor and internet Archivist.

Francine Robinson - a bright black woman in her 20's. She has a long set of braids bunched together in a ponytail. She is in a bright blue Bomber jacket, a shirt, tie, work slacks, and a pair of pink shoes. She works in the social media department for the company Deedy Toys.

Mickey Goncher - a curly haired, frumpy older man in big square glasses, a pink tie, and in a dark blue patterned suit. He gives off rizzless vibes. He is the CEO of a company named Deedy Toys.

Kimmeridge Ford - An older Japanese man in a dark red coat, round glasses, and sporting a dark moustache. He looks forlorn and tired. He is a widow and works in tech support.

"???" Aka The Binary Woman - a dark silhouette conceals the woman behind it. Faintly, in the background, is a glitchy and corrupted mass of pixels vaguely resembling a person. The character's actual name appears censored behind black bars.]

A bunch of silly elemental/specialist wizards and warlock enemies for my homebrew. My favourite trope is 'weirdo in a cloak and big hat that obscures their features except their silly lil eyes' in designing wizard-like beasties

A bunch of simple Slime enemies for the DND campaign I plan on running! Live for a lil silly biodiversity in my homebrew.

Individual Slimes under the cut!

Map I drew up for the DND campaign I may be running at my workplace! Really fun once I remembered I didn't have to actually colour the whole thing lol

Here's a labelled version!

This campaign is technically an adaptation of a videogame concept I have in mind. As opposed to it following the game's plot, it will be just within its setting instead

[ackdraws]

Created Disco Elysium style skills for a character I have! Really proud of how these silly critters came out
