GIGANTIC 2.0 Deadwood drop because I have no self control

started this while ttcc was on fire that one weekend but im glad to know progress is being made—so here's hoping things get better!

Locked in for this revisit ngl, I often forget I can reference their in-game models lol

There was gonna be a 3rd image about their skelecog anatomy (as well as a full body of 2.0 spruce) but i feel like this is ok for now

Alright so—this is usually where I give their 2.0 information…But there's a lot. So I’m gonna split it up into 2 parts, this being part 1!

Part 2 is here.

(i am not beating the hyperfixation allegations)

But now that this has been crossed off my list, Part 2 of the Intro is up next! Some things following up will be: (not in priority order)

Satellite investors 2/2

2.0 Prester Teaser

Intro part 3

Huge 2.0 gameplay lore / basic notes

Some asks

I’ll take a little break, but I do expect to release one more post before my break ends and classes start back up again!

[ps1demodisk]

When you ask spruce about rocks or random like that:

spruce:uhhhhhhhhh

when you ask spruce about how far and big that tree is

spruce:gives you the exact diameter and width and size if the tree along with how much its worth and what might be wrong with it*

Bro honestly he would—Like the Cogs Ink. ARG does describe Spruce as brawn-over-brains but he isn't necessarily dumb he just couldn't care less for trigonometry

…Nor do I think he can sit still for more than 10 minutes

anyways beaver spruce being eepy

( also this comes from that mini series of managers as studio ghibli characters— this one’s Chip and Spruce in Spirited Away where spruce gets turned into a giant beaver ) (named it Chipped Away LOL)

[ps1demodisk]

hi its me again..... is it okay if u draw prester with some advocates maybe? please and thank you!

the male equivalent of crazy cat lady

[ps1demodisk]

who’s this uhhh this guy

Can't find if it has been asked yet, have you got any facts down for Misty? 😁

Got a couple 2.0 Misty asks! Still figuring out what exactly her role is but I will gush about her design lol

She was based around ocean themed creatures like sea nymphs and sirens. Though I got the idea to specifically turn her into a jellyfish after I rewatched Ponyo (have I mentioned how much I love this movie), so she was based a little bit after Ponyo’s mother.

I’m planning on giving her a new dress and fixing up her sleeves! I think a lot of the managers will get mini-revisits here and there.

She has a couple bioluminescent spots, just like Mary!

Misty’s abilities are still relatively the same. They lean a little more aquatic now (due to her being a jellyfish) but she can still control her surroundings and zap people. ( i might make a longer post about her battle later on )

Speaking of Ponyo I CANNOT believe I forgot to post this image here. I made a tiny string of mangers as Studio Ghibli characters a while ago and this was the first :D

[ps1demodisk]

Ok so normally I don't like drawing anything like this but I made this last night and I feel that the quality is "good enough" to post this here. So here's the Pacesetter edited to appear like Susan from the Walten files. I could not get the jaw correct but I think it still turned out alright in the end. Also unsure if there's a procedure to tag this for stuff like "eye contact" so I'm leaving all the text above the piece

\ \ \ ----------------------------

[ps1demodisk]

big fan of this

[ps1demodisk]

Big sillies dump while I make 2.0 stuff and deny my hands mercy (some of these are like- at least five months old i think)

Also I’m almost certain the last 3 images have been made before but I wanted to take a crack at it lmao

[ps1demodisk]

may i ask of you to share your notes and comments for your mary 2.0 au design 👉👈

oh HELL yeah im really gonna have to keep this short though bc there's a lot of Mary lore, and her comic is set to be one of the first ones after the intro!

Mary spends a lot of time underwater. She's one of the few cogs capable of withstanding the intense pressure of the ocean, and she thrives in it’s dark depths.

Mary’s character was partly inspired by Davy Jones, specifically from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. She’s actually the 2nd manager to have some similarities to the character. I wonder who the other one is? (spoiler: it may or may not be a specific lumberjack…)

Mary now knows sign-language! It definitely comes in handy when you’re underwater and communication is limited.

Girlie has a lot on her plate right now. Like a lot of the other managers, she’s burdened with a lot of responsibilities and moral dilemma. Whenever she's not underwater, she's responsible for managing a… peculiar facility located just off coast of Barnacle Boatyard. It was abandoned when the cogs disappeared, but recently it’s been up and running again.

And im gonna have to stop myself there because i WILL keep yapping and i gotta save some of the juicier lore for her comic LOL

Also I wanted to redraw this with Mary 2.0 but uhh idk I didn’t get around to it:

[ps1demodisk]

happy pride month 🫶

[ps1demodisk]

May I have some Chipper and Spruce please 🙏 that’s all I ask of ya

God I have so many images like these

[ps1demodisk]

You may have mentioned it and I missed it, but what is your ArtFight? Are you okay with random attacks?

Oh yeah this is my art fight (VAOS_Studios) ! And yup I’m ok with random attacks! Cannot guarantee that I can revenge 100% of the time but I will try my best <3

[ps1demodisk]

I'm usually really bad at making refs but Art Fight knocked me upside the head and told me to lock in

Featuring my little guys: Meredith, Airfox and Sergeant! There is technically a 4th character named Lady but she's—hey wait a minute why is there a horse outside my wind— [REDACTED]

2.0 Satellite Investors, aka the Kuiper Family! (1/2)

ngl this was very fun to make, the satellites didn't stand out to me at first when i got into ttcc but i think they're my favorite family now...except for the mafia part /silly

Gonna be yapping (a lot) about all their designs and headcanons i gave em below, starting from the oldest of the family to the youngest:

(i tend to refer to a lot of the satellites by they/them)

Cosmo Kuiper:

Head of the Family, and as expected the most experienced when it comes to perfectly legal activities and covering up their tracks.

Character design is modeled after a comet! The comet tail is unbearably cold to the touch, so much so it freezes and destroys anything that comes near it. He's burned through a couple hats...

Cosmo and all of the satellites contain some sort of freezing insulation that keeps them operating smoothly when they're not in a cold environment.

Not very visible in the image but Cosmo wears multiple rings that have the planets on them. Earth, Mars, Venus, etc.

Side note: I genuinely love that Cosmo has a good relationship with the Satellites. Originally I thought it was gonna be one of those "villain boss bullies his lackies" but this is so much more wholesome

Charon:

Cosmo's right hand man, the two have known each other the longest out of all the satellites. Substitutes for Cosmo when he's unavailable.

Has a rather silent and threatening personality. Never raises his voice unless he has too. The oldest and most responsible of the satellites, usually being the one that keeps them all in line.

Color palette takes from a black agate geode!

Character design was semi-modeled after an astronaut! I also learned (unfortunately way after I designed him) that he actually has the attack "Pecking Order" which is mostly only used by bird-coded characters, which is pretty cool! I'll think about giving him more bird qualities in the future.

Almost always covered in cold mist and icicles, mostly because he never leaves the freezer.

Charon has a shady past he never talks about, no matter how much the others pester him about it. The only clue being some old metal gauntlets he passed down to Kerberos.

The most physically intimidating of the Family, toons really avoid confronting him...

Charon now has a cheat called "Freezer Burn."

Hydra:

This guy might be my fav. Usually the one behind the reception desk and phone during operating hours. This may explain why so many toons complain of lazy service...

Color palette takes from a sapphire geode with gold veins!

Hydra's personality is rather chill and even-tempered. There aren't a lot of things that grind his gears but whatever happens, do not give him a reason to brawl. Hydra lives for getting his hands dirty when the opportunity presents itself, and it will get ugly.

Character design took inspiration from the mythological beast, the Hydra. Therefore, he has many serpent qualities! Hydra normally has 3 eyes, each eye belonging to a different serpent head. The longer the Plutocrat battle progresses the more heads/eyes he gains. When the number of heads hit 9, Hydra is defeated.

A lot of mechanical noise can be heard from under his coat...

He also has serpent fangs and a tongue (yes he can smell through this), as well as having a retractable serpent tail. The tail originally had a normal rattle at it's end but it froze over. Still works though!

Hydra's character of inspiration was Rattlesnake Jake from Rango, who undeniably might have the sickest character design I've ever seen (I don't have a lot of hills to die on but that's one of them).

Hydra now has a cheat called "Poisonous breath."

Nix:

Essentially the middle child. Does in fact own a hat and coat like the others, but Nix doesn't wear it often.

He and Styx are usually the ones seen managing Mozzarella Styx. Nix does all the numbers, checks all the inventory, and often helps Styx in waitressing whenever it's busy. (also takes turns being the cook with Hydra).

Color Palette takes from an amethyst geode!

Outside of the mafia business, Nix has in interest in stargazing and astrology. They own a pretty powerful telescope and occasionally goes to Dreamland to study the constellations. Kerberos usually picks on them for being a nerd (they have the closest age range).

( Character inspiration for Nix may or may not be Donatello specifically from ROTTMNT ) ( i have yet to actually watch the series but from the clips i saw it looks pretty good and the art style is a banger )

Kerberos:

On the younger side of the Family. Very rarely seen behind the reception desk, which if he is- it's best to just turn around and walk back out.

Extremely snappy and bad-tempered, it doesn’t take much to get on their nerves. And unlike Hydra, he doesn’t need an excuse to pummel you into the ground. He tries very hard to come off as intimidating and scary. Carries anti-toon spray, but honestly prefers beating people up.

Color palette takes from an emerald green dioptase!

Kerberos has 3 heads based off the mythological beast, Cerebus. Each head has different types of sharp teeth, and can rotate 180 degrees in both directions.

Actually the second satellite to be inspired by Rattlesnake Jake! This time it's only his voice though.

Inherited Charon's old metal gauntlets—they're huge, worn, and very heavy—but Kerberos revels in the power they give him. He looks for any excuse to bully toons with them. When he’s not wearing the gauntlets, he sports steel-knuckled gloves instead. He also wraps his forearms to make himself look more buff.

Kerberos's original job for Mozzarella Styx was being the janitor but he absolutely refuses to do this, instead he serves as security along with the Plutogram.

There is something Kerberos is hiding...and he'd rather die than tell anyone about it.

Styx:

The youngest of the satellites and the face of Mozzarella Styx Pizzeria (they love to brag about their name being on the front of the restaurant).

Styx has a very friendly and bubbly personality compared to the rest of the Family. Despite being the most approachable, they should not be underestimated. Because they work customer service.

Color palette takes from an blue celestite geode!

Being the main waiter and receptionist of the restaurant, they've become an expert in the field. And being Mozzarella Styx's first line of defense, they do a pretty good job of disposing intrusive toons ( Styx also carries anti-toon spray with them just in case ).

Despite how difficult it can get now, Styx really does love their job.

Styx is the one that spends the most time outside the freezer, and grew rather accustomed to higher temperatures. They're also the most critical when it comes to the quality of the food the restaurant produces.

Owns a hat and coat like the rest as well.

Plutogram:

The newest addition to the family, and a virtual replica of Cosmo. Technically Plutogram is genderless (y'know being a hologram) but I like to think they go by any pronouns

Despite only being a hologram with no mind of its own, the satellites like to consider Plutogram to be their own person. They like referring to them as "Big Blue."

While Plutogram's main purpose is to protect Mozzarella Styx during the night, they can take over any job necessary (Styx taught them how to cook).

This character's hat is modeled after a black hole and their cape takes after a galaxy (somewhat inspired by SU White Diamond's cape).

I'm also really guilty of giving this character several nicknames like: the 6th satellite, 6th secretary, Ursa Major, Orion, etc. One of my favorites has to be Donna though.

Plutogram has multiple modes, 2 of which I named Free-roam and Mimic for convivence.

Free-roam means the hologram has control over its own actions, and executes what ever actions it thinks will be beneficial to it's owner, in this case Cosmo. It can also be told what to do by others in this mode (toons can take this to their advantage).

Mimic means the hologram mimics what ever Cosmo does. While in this mode, Cosmo is able to speak through the hologram and will absorb any damage done to it.

Damn that was a lot longer than i thought it was gonna be, and this is only 1/2-

2nd part will be about The Satellites' dynamics / relationships with each other (spoiler it's mostly a sibling relationship lol)

[ps1demodisk]

gathered up some rainsaw / Misty and Chip content I had in my files and decided to put em all in one post to answer some asks! (hope that’s alright lol)

also one of my favorite bits is seeing Misty showing her fellow managers tiny creatures she found- never stop mity I love you
