So I've been teasing this character in my tags/posts for a while, and she's finally hereeee. Anyways WHOOPS, another self indulgent Lethal Company character who is basically the Wario version of [Cap'n]!

Meet Echo and her crewmates: Orion (goggle'd circle-shaped one), Spade (short one with big arms), and Guy (shapely GNC one). Being the opposite of Cap'n's crew, they're all men EXCEPT for Echo!

At first, she started out as a grown woman having a one-sided, very pathetic beef with Cap'n, but she evolved into an angry teenager who projects all of her issues onto someone who literally doesn't know she exists (and subsequently does something horrible to herself to rectify this weird beef). Did it work? Well no, come on, look at her, now she's even worse GOKJDFMKDF

And when I say "one-sided", I mean it. Genuinely Cap'n doesn't know who she is, like, at all. I think the first time they meet will be the inevitable werewolf fight between the two of them when things get out of hand.

Anyways I love the kidnapper fox, but alas, she was too swag for this world, RIP to a real one that lasted a month and a half. u_u)!!

It's deeply ironic that I haven't posted art on here in a while because of the fact I'm making so much art for Dashcon 2 HIPKLFJDMKLD

I dunno if I should post the art as individual posts like normal or if it should all be one bulk post about the convention or maybe individual posts AFTER the convention or what... I've never done this before!

All I know is that y'all are gonna get it eeeventually, but before I post that, I'mma post that Lethal Company OC (and guests) I've been teasing for almost a year now at this point because they FINALLY have names hIOLJKFD

Here’s a quick sketch for Easter! They’re alien rabbits so they shouldn’t know what it is but it’s MY drawing and I get to decide what holidays they celebrate!

[odd-chips]

I probably won’t flesh this sketch out, but I wanted to do a quick, funny Easter pic for the two bunny (and non-bunny) OCs I have!

I dunno, maybe these outfits are traditional on Moonboy’s planet for the holiday, and SOMEHOW Moonboy's managed to convince Star to dress up with him, cause he's (legitimately) homesick. :(!!

I mentioned briefly that [Mav has a gambling addiction] so. You know.

[odd-chips]

What do you MEAN Skeets hasn't mentioned her heart and soul? She literally thinks about her daughter every day? You're seriously telling her she's NEVER talked about her while working with the crew? Not even ONCE?! (No. HIOlkjMFDL)

Anyways Skeets after forgetting to mention she's a MILF:

[odd-chips]

"You keep drawing Tim and profile-"

AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN!

AND HE'LL KEEP GETTING MORE CHINS, TOO!!

Anyways it's cliche, but I'm a big, big fan of "parents hate The Thing, but kid is The Thing" trope!! (This has NOTHING to do with my Danny Phantom obsession. Whatever. Leave me alone. Please ignore the fact that his sister knows he's The Thing and has to try to help keep it a secret. Irrelevant.)

Currently I only have a vague undercurrent of a story where some important Roseberg matriarch was violently killed by some type of werecreature, and the family has held this resentment for decades. I'd like for it to turn out that what actually happened was she got down bad for the werecreature and they ran away together or something hoiJKLFD

[odd-chips]

Sorry everyone, I'm rebranding Tim and Ratman, getting my rat tattoo covered up, changing my whole thing, it's gonna be a whole situation, please respect this drastic and sudden change. 😔 ✌🏿

[odd-chips]

Reminder to everyone!! Tim’s got a lisp because of the ✨ Rat Teeth ✨!!

Breaking in the New Years’ with something stupid!

TEEHEE, HAPPY TO PROVIDE!

FINALLY got this sequence done! (I've been sitting on it for a few months now HIKLJFD)

Look.

I love characters finding out for the first time that their friend is secretly a monster in a big dramatic scene.

However I'm ALSO a big fan of the characters already knowing about that, and the true severity of the situation not sinking in till they inevitably witness it happening real time.

What if you could never look at someone you're close to the same way (despite wanting to) because, though you understood the monster you saw was them, the stark dissonance between the two always kept them separate in your mind till that moment? That skin crawling change and those bloodcurdling shrieks allowing the gravity of the situation to finally settle in? And now you have to carry on knowing this, involuntarily seeing them either through a lens of horror, abject pity, or compassion? Y'know?!

The crew also finally get to realize the fact that Kid has been blaming himself for "The Incident" this whole time, since he was the one who was [yelling on Assurance], and has assumed he attracted the eyeless dog in the first place.

The three of them are more delicate with Cap'n afterwards, which she notices and feels weirdly othered by it, regardless of if it's well intentioned or not. Things go back to normal eventually, but it's definitely TOUCHY for a while.

Hi, friend. :]!!

I think the barber lopped those big naturals off. They don't call it a "clay surgeon" for nothing!

(Also bonus 4 AM sketch that I jotted down so I'd remember to make a cleaned up version later GOIHKDKLFD)

[odd-chips]

So I recently decided my oldest comfort werewolf OC, [Jesse], should be close friends with my newest comfort wererat OC, [Tim]! Which THEN compelled me to, you know, make a 4 minute storyboard featuring one of their interactions. u_u)!!

I really wanna do the thing you/another artist did where your eyeless were-dogs interacted but im a nervous wreck lmao jdksb dgn

your ocs are so cool and your most recent post is so cool too like guh amazing details so simple and good

ALSO I love your Ratman osbgjdk amazing art

all to say, im nervous to ask and i think your art's incredible as i disappear

For real though, I definitely understand being nervous, but I'd love to see more interactions between Cap'n and other weredogs! :] Even if you don't end up doing it, I'm super flattered you even considered it! (Doubly so cause the weredog concept was supposed to be a one-and-done thing for me, and yet... here we are... Almost a year later...)

I'm glad you liked the recent post about the breakdown of the characters, cause honestly I really wanted to establish that there was some genuine thought put behind the characters and their designs, as simple/trope-y as they are!

AND AGHHHHH THANK YOUUUUU I LOVE RATMAN WITH ALL MY HEART!! HE'S MY CINNAMON APPLE.... MY SWEET CHEESE.... MY GOOD TIME BOY...........

ANYWAYS THOUGH THANK YOU ANON, THAT WAS SO THOUGHTFUL OF YOU! I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS ASK! qvq)!! I HOPE OUR DOGS CROSS PATHS!!

[odd-chips]

Been wanting to make a chart about the designs for Cap'n and crew I had in mind when I made [the first comic], and finally got around to it! (This did make me tempted to distinguish Cap'n more, but she's supposed to be pretty standard so I probably won't hIOLKJDF)

And then a chart about their most hated moons/entities! (Explanations under the cut)

For all of them, I wanted at least one base game entity and one update entity! (The one they hate the most is in red)

Cap'n: The eyeless dog distaste is obvious with her "condition". The incident is also why she doesn't like Assurance. (She's got a hint of trauma)

They're also not a fan of old birds cause those things are LOUD and [they can't stand loud noises anymore]. This is ALSO why she doesn't like Embrion since it's full of those hoes hIOLKJDF

And I think before the incident, she didn't like hoarding bugs for very simple reasons: she doesn't like her stuff getting jacked. >:/!! They're easy enough to deal with, but my God.

Mav: He hates Bracken. Just genuinely SUCH a nuisance having to look behind himself constantly, and with how often they show up on Vow, that's a least fave moon.

The masked creep him the HELL out. Genuinely cannot stand them at ALL. She had an incident with one with a previous crew, and ever since, masked entities are on her shitlist for real. It's on SIGHT! 👊🏿💥!!

Skeets: As the designated tall person of the group, having to look UP at an entity unsettles her. That is a PEOPLE but it's NOT a people.

She also doesn't like nutcrackers/jesters because of them being facsimiles of children's toys and that's upsetting. :(

She doesn't care for March because the big lake in the middle makes her nervous. Maybe she can't swim? I didn't think that far ahead, haha.

Kid: You'll notice all of them are bugs. Because... [he can't stand bugs] hIOLKJFD (The butler was the WORST to find out about. He thought it was just ugly, not human skin full of hornets.)

The maneater is the worst of the bunch. Everyone thinks they're so cute, Skeets especially, but he knows that it's fucked up and evil.

And he dislikes Adamance for purely petty reasons: he gets so tired walking up and down the steep inclines with his tiny child legs HILKJFD
