reeeeworking old ocssss cause I’m unsatisfied with everything I dooooo but I want characters to doodle for fun letsgooooo

Regan is one of my oldest I think? but her concepts have stayed pretty similar for as long as I’ve had her: being a human vessel long taken over by a demon

I’m recycling an idea that I had for another character in this universe, the other characters demon had a shtick where it was made completely of hands and I wanna give that to Regan because it plays more into the role she has as a sort of mad scientist creating hellbeasts out of human souls and demon bodies

as for Crow I’m still not 100% on what I’m looking for him to do just yet… but I can’t imagine parting with him because I feel like there’s something I’m forgetting about his character that’s just not coming back to me yet

from the little I recall he was a cult leader of some sort? but I’m not sure how much a cult will play a roll in whatever story I’m trying to spin nowadays, I’ll figure it out eventually I’m sure

Poppy’s update back in October just kinda blew by everyone, but I personally find it very interesting, especially when you take into account that she’s clearly based on Big Bird. The climax of the video is her being tormented by some unknown presence while she sits in the dark, only for…someone (the transcript doesn’t identify them, but they sound suspiciously like Frank and Sally) to burst in and ask why she didn’t open the door. Poppy simply replies “I couldn’t get out…I…am I out?” For those of you not full of Seasame Street trivia, this is how you operate the Big Bird costume:

Looks a little claustrophobic, huh? Given how much Poppy resembles Big Bird, I have to imagine you work her puppet in a similar manner. What if the people talking to Poppy at the end of her video sound like Frank and Sally, not because they are, but because those are their puppeteers? No cast or crew information has been released yet, but it makes me wonder - is that the horror of Welcome Home? After all, one of the trigger warnings of the ARG is depersonalization. Did these people who created a beloved puppet show to entertain children begin losing themselves? They stopped being able to tell their puppets from their real lives? When the take ended and they could be themselves again…were they really out?

It opens up a lot of possibility about the other characters who’ve been spotlighted already. What could the horrors they peep be saying about the people controlling the puppets? Home showing Eddie the reality of his world, Sally knowing about the presence hunting them, Julie cracking under the pressure, even Wally and Frank’s ambiguous situations in all of this…it could all tie back to the humans who control these puppets. If I weren’t so tired I might go into more depth about it, but it’s an interesting idea.

oh also happy pride month!! all I have to offer is a doodle of me and my partner <3

[jstertv]

the struggle of having ocs whom I care deeply about but because I can’t settle on what I want their lore/story to be I feel like I haven’t earned the right to draw them but they’re rotting my brain so bad that I can’t bring myself to draw anything else because I’m fuckin bored I just wanna fEEEEEEEEEL SOMETHING!!!

[jstertv]

bro how did I not post them here my bad it slipped my mind, I’ve been sucked into dandy’s world 🤺

[jstertv]

wanna add more details to their outfits but no so many that I’ll forget about them

a general rule of thumb I have in mind for Talullah is that she never, NEVER wears square pins. triangles and circles only. think I might give her more bug shaped pins too, big fan of bugs

meanwhile Kincaid gets NOTHING aside from a ring. I’ve been thinking about his work partner and I might revive in (they didn’t die I just haven’t really thought about them) so they have a part to play even if it’s a small one

Mackenzie and Talullah are inseparable and Kincaid doesn’t much care to integrate himself past colleagues maybe? so giving him a person he can relate and talk to would be nice

should get around to draw Rory

mangle doodle that I digitalized yippee!!! <3

FANAFT TIIMEE I LOVE YOU FUNTIME ANIMATRONICS!!!!

everyone individually cause why not heart eeeyyeeessssss mwah

and then here’s everyone’s face with no makeup <3

[jstertv]

OKAY SO…. I have some thoughts… I don’t think I’m gonna do too many tweaks atm but some things I wanna keep in mind whenever I get around to developing them all more

- I want them all to match in color palettes more. maybe with the under color of their lab coats? overall I want them to look more like they belong together

- Tallulah’s colors are still pretty iffy in my eyes. thinking of making her glasses either blue or yellow— maybe green??

- something about Mackenzie feels off… and I think it’s the fact that he doesn’t look as off as I wanted him to. he needs to look more disheveled and tired

- thinking that Mackenzie’s weapon is some high tech guns he built himself, and all the salvia, mucus acid stuff he collects is how he powers his weapons

I LOVE DRAWING BLACK HAIRSTYLES WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!!

the only thing I’ve nodded is that I need to get better with parts, and having to accept that if there’s not enough parts then there should only be x amount of braids connected to each one XP

BUT WE’RE GETTIN THERE

[jstertv]

I FEEL LIKE HE LOOKS…. LIKE A CHARACTER THAT ALREADY EXISTS???

maybe it’s because he’s got some common tropes… the closed eyes, the blonde bangs— i feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before and something in my gut wants me to figure out who so I can smack people when they try to compare him to other characters bUT GRRRRAAGAGH ITS DRIVING ME NUTS

anyways this is Kincaaaaiiddd I love him so dearly <3

[jstertv]

CONCEPTING!! HOLY MOLY

have some scientist characters from an old story that I’m kinda iffy on revamping. I like the concept and I like the role they had in it but they’ve kind of become my darlings and I want them to be the main characters

I mean technically they were the main characters? but more so the secondary mains to the *the main character*, Rory

the story itself is a superhero affair with the government trying to find a way to make everyone a superhero by experimenting on kids, one of those kids being Rory. and these three had a connection to the government in some way/knew what was going on

also I fell and hit my knee today and it still stings >:(

[jstertv]

thinks about my ok ko oc that I never really ended up doing anything with

I really love him and his design still kinda fucks. I’ve even thinking a lot lately about these three scientist ocs that I have and I almost wanna completely overhaul their story so they have their own thing going on!! but deciding what that story would be makes me wanna fall apart

cause the story itself is already fire, but because the government™ is the main threat I don’t want this guy to become a “villain of the week” that’s either reoccurring or only causes problems for a singular arc and nothing else

AND I HEART OK KO BUT MY BRAIN…. ITS TELLING TO HIT EM WITH THE OCIFICATION BEAM I haven’t had many ideas of what to do with him for ok ko besides one comic idea and i dunno if I’ll ever get around to making that

GRRRRRRRRRRRMYBRAINHURTS!!!!1!1!1!

[jstertv]

LIKE THIS BASICALLY

I’m really really really attached to the idea of his mouth being completely covered, and having his emotions being shown only through the eyes. and now I’m thinking that the charring is only on the right (it’s the right I promise) arm and kinda phasing out the rest of the way

since the scar starts on the hand I think the gauntlet would have fucking exploded and he’s only got the left one maybe

dude this would look fucking gnarly in real life I hope I can translate that when I get around to doing a proper ref sheet

[jstertv]

trying to get a good idea of what I want this transformation to look like. in my head it’s always looked like he was nearly sliced in half and the tear if very noticeable— part of me thinks that instead of making his entire body+hair black, it should just be his face and a bit around the scarring like it’s being charred in the moment??

cause I still really love this!!! and I love the way @/int.smnt on instagram did the veins did the hands in this comm I got from them— im like DEVASTATED cause the new idea I have is turning the bracelet cuffs into gauntlets aND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SEEEEE THE HANDS UGH

but that’s merely the price I must pay trying to develop my ocs, truly tragic

[jstertv]

Oh and these hoes... I love them so much
