#op i love your au stuff. never stop putting those guys in circumstances and situations #with love: the guy with the limbus au cowboys #ALSO YOU DID A MOTION BLUR TRADITIONALLY??? INSANE -via @space-mist

aaa thank you friend!! it makes me really happy when people enjoy my AUs, i just don't always put them in the LAL tag because i worry about flooding the tag with my AU nonsense, when people might be there for canon content/content that's not just The Cowboys. >///< (i have been told it's ok, but still i worry haha)

i assume you mean limbus as in Limbus Company? I know of it in passing, but i don't know much about it... still, AUs are fun!! :3

ALSO YES, that's called a Smear! Animation/Motion Smear, specifically! Toniko Pantoja has a good vid on it here, i def recommend getting silly with 'em. (sorry if you already knew this, my animation degree is showing rip lol)

as art fight looms ever-closer on the horizon, a few reminders to myself and others;

-you are not obligated to revenge any attacks

-you are not obligated to attack anyone you don't want to

-you can challenge yourself and experiment, but what's most important is to have fun!

-one friendly reminder; etiquette is still a thing on the site. if someone attacks you, please at least leave a comment to thank them for their time, even if you hate it lol

-if you try to guilt someone into attacking/revenging you, you're cringe and i am shaming you for it.

-finally (i can't believe i have to say this), if someone makes a physical attack for you, you ask for it to be mailed to you, and it gets lost in the mail?

don't harass the artist. it's very very very VERY likely not their fault.

(you know who you are lmao)

[intervalart]

art fight (said excitedly)

but also

art fight (said grimly)

[intervalart]

(okay no, but put in the tags something youre the unofficial influencer of. Like something youve purchased enough, used enough, bragged about and endorsed enough to others that you should be an influencer for)

[intervalart]

feeling like doo doo, here's a rat i doodled

[intervalart]

dad confirmed for surgery on monday. hope it all works out, hahah...

[intervalart]

would you believe me if i told you i've already had to make changes to this design since i posted this? not major ones, just tweaks rip lol

this is why we start our refs EARLY folks 🫠

starting early on the Art Fight reference grind

i've been wrestling with the tangents on this for hours, and i've revised this design maybe 3 times now, so now i'm making you look at this dumbass

Werewolf and Vampire AU Masterpost (specifically for the LAL western chapter)

I can't believe this is a thing I'm writing because this is normally NOT my thing, but the brainworms are very very real, so a few things I'm gonna get out of the way right now:

•The tag I use for this is "bark bark flap flap", so if you wanna mute it cuz you're sick of seeing it, please feel free.

• The end goal of this for me is not shipping. If it happens to end up that way, that's fine (I am even warming up on the prospect as I write the characters more), but overall I'm just playing with character chemistry. I'm stating this up front because of the explicit sexual culture around werewolves and vampires online. I will not be making any sexual content for this AU (ESPECIALLY not anything omegaverse, I have very little tolerance for that malarkey). At most it may be gore.

I would request you not use my AU writings/character designs/story beats etc for sexually explicit material (kissy kissy is fine, just nothing hardcore), but obviously I can't stop you. Just keep it away from me, thanks.

The rest is under the cut, from hereon, gods help us both.

----

The overall premise (seen here) is set in the Wild West chapter obviously, but I'm not opposed to other timelines and their monster AUs hopping in for fun. (I know there's a popular theory about Oboro being a fish yokai of some kind, that one rocked)

In this AU, Sundown is the werewolf and Mad Dog is the Vampire.

"But Aima-" I hear you cry. "Mad Dog should be the werewolf cuz he literally has Dog in his name." You are not incorrect. And if you wanna expand on this yourself you are welcome to! But personally I think that since Mad Dog is already a tumblr sexyman fruitcake, his vibes work better with vampires overall. And Sundown is a stoic lone wolf anyway lol

ANYWAYS, there's monsters all around the Wild West, and the frontier folks are out there just tryin' to make it.

Mad Dog in this setting is still a Bounty Hunter, but also goes after monsters. He's still clever and crafty, but one night, he bites off a little more than he can chew, and the target he's pursuing gets the better of him and is interrupted before he can totally drain him, when causes him to turn instead. (Will make a post later discussing how vampirism and lycanthropy spreads in this universe, but the long and short of it is vampirism is a parasite, lycanthropy is a virus)

Sundown is the werewolf, in fact that's where his name came from in this AU (The sun setting and shifting into a werewolf). The current lore is Sundown saved his town from a werewolf, but got infected himself, and took out his own town.

Sundown and Mad Dog have still known each other a long time, but neither either of them knew each other when they were human. There's a bit of hypocrisy to them both, since Sundown could find others affected by the virus and stick around with them in a pack, meanwhile Mad Dog is still a monster hunter when he's a monster himself.

Annie in this setting is also a monster hunter, in training under Dallas.

O. Dio is a kelpie (design is still a WIP), and the Crazy Bunch is a group of aquatic monsters that roams around taking over water sources for their territory, and their main beef with Success is (since they used to be a mining town), some of their water runoff was contaminated by mercury.

Currently I'm just running on the premise of them hanging out, and being In Situations, with no real chronological story beats, but it's implied that Sundown wants to find a cure for his lycantrhopy (because therapy doesn't exist yet I guess lol). Or just be killed (like the canon). Whichever comes first.

Sundown has 2 forms (seen here), human and werewolf. He only shifts on the night of the Full Moon (plus the nights before and after, 3 nights total), and in emergencies/life or death cases. When he shifts, he usually doesn't remember the events of the night, only brief flashes and strong emotions. He does however have a brewed draught concocted of various vile herbs etc. that he can take the day of his shift that helps him stay more cognizant. But he can't always get all the ingredients for it, so it's not consistent.

Mad Dog has 3 forms (seen here), the humanoid form is the default, when he's running low on energy/blood he takes the little bat form, and he can take the big bat form whenever he wants, but it uses up a lot of energy, so he tends to not use it unless he has to.

Here's some other misc reference for them so far (x) (x) (as a side note, I differentiate the big bat form with 2 thumbs and the small bat form with one thumb.)

---

EDIT: I forgot to mention this, so I'll add it here; The intention is actually that Sunny, MD, Annie, and O.Dio would be party members!

O.Dio isn't actually killed while defending success; because of the circumstances (i.e. what happened to the crazy bunch technically being the town's fault, even if it wasn't malicious intent), Annie kinda becomes disillusioned with the concept of monster hunting (despite training with Dallas all her life to learn how to hunt them.)

She kinda becomes focused on the goal of learning how to live in peace with the monsters instead of just killing them, cuz she knows some of them used to be humans. (Not O.Dio specifically, but vampires and werewolves for sure)

So it reaches the point now and then where it's a Mario RPG type situation where they team up as needed to fight monsters and win peacefully if possible. In return, Annie doesn't lodge bullets between their ears. :)

----

I will add more links, refs, and info etc. as I drum it up, so if I reblog with edit notes... Y'all know why.

Also, as an aside, I don't know if I will continue to put this in the Live A Live tag cuz I don't wanna flood it with my silly AU when people are probably looking for canon stuff. I'll be open to feedback on that point though.

Finalized color scheme and full-body reference of the absolutely lovely Angela~

I had a hard time deciding what kind of body type I wanted, (if I wanted wings or not, etc.) so this was sitting on my comp for a while.

Angela is a land predator, built primarily for speed. The species hasan extra pair of eyes to combat the fact that their eyesight in general isn’t that great. The eyes themselves are very sensitive to movement, and because the lower pair is pointed outward and the upper pair is pointed forward, it gives the species a HUGE field of vision.

Since the eyesight is lacking, the species relies primarily on that great long snout, endowed with an acute sense of smell.

…In short, it’s next to impossible to sneak up on these beasties. (no species name yet, sorry. <<;; )
