I know it’s been a while but welcome back to me telling you guys about the tiny details I’ve put into one of my little art pieces. Because if I don’t tell you about it, then who will?
The link to the original art is here!
The Breakdown Is Below Read more
So first let’s go through some common unifiers.
We have cute little hearts with their life number on it and a bonus blue coloring to say when a life is lost.
Tango, Skizz, and Etho’s hearts show this loss in different ways..Skizz has his with colored stiches going through and a red slash, and so does Etho(plus his weeb headband getting a little missing nin slash of death) his; But,Tango’s has a little red slash but no stiches.
A little divide in the group there ;).
Of course what is not a divide is their roses, Impulse and Bdubs of course having matching pure red, while Etho, Skizz, and Tango all have blue streaks to mimic Team BEST colors because we will never be over that tragic boy band.
Speaking of tragedy,
Let’s get into Tango’s little details
Now Mr. Tek here was a fun time to give a little wedding flare too.
He is of course rocking that cowboy goth, big hat, big heart belt buckle big boots, but of course I still wanted to stay true to the original skin, such as keeping his hands bare, and white highlights for that skin tone that pops up above the wrist area of the mc skin.
He’s also propping his shield which the banner seems to be another fabric just nailed into it.
Of course you where most likely not looking at those things when it came to Tango’s design. Let’s talk about the Elephant in the room.
Warden! Tango
Warden Tango just felt more right than all the blazeborn stuff to me. Not that blazeborn Tango isn’t cool but to help keep designs varied I think I’ll make Tango have different creature traits in different seasons to reflect and fit the theming.
And why shouldn’t Rancher’ Revenge have a Warden dad?
Now there are somethings to note about this.
Most people draw the Warden with these antlers and horns for the top of it’s head, heck even the concept art I was using for color uses those terms, however I don’t really see them as that.
Instead I see them as tendrils more like antenna or the tendrils on top of a Shulk Sensor. Heck you can see a version of a Beta Warden with that design. Of course then I ran into the problem of how to get it to be as thick as they are. My answer was having many.
Now of course I wanted the bones to match the red that I wanted to use for tango, so I did the normal person thing by color shifting the whole picture to ref and pinkish colors and looking at the blue it gave. Of course you can still see the regular Warden bones on his Jacket.
This blue would also be the bases for his nails, and blush as well.
And lastly I want to talk about the souls.
The souls are interpreted as a little design on the stomach and wrists of his shirt as well as on his boots. A little closer look at the shirt will also see bands and a little design to act as the “teeth” on a Warden’s arm as well. Besides the boots, all of the souls glow.
One last thing on Tango’s design before we move on.
His forehead has a large scar on his fore head. This is a little nod to how Tango first died in the Life series, ever. 3rd lifers get a little treat.
So do Team Ranchers as you can se his golden hair has a couple of muted dirty blonde in it. That same color can be found on a feather attached to his belt and the inside color of a blue hardcore heart bolo.
This of course connects him to his rancher, no matter how far apart they get.
Now on to Skizzleman.
I did all 6 of his wings and it killed me, but dang does it look good!
To counter Impulse’s little demon theming he of course has angel theming, this is nothing new but I wanted my little take on it with big wings that glow his blue and have eyes on the feathers in his eye’s blue.
I am just unbelievably happy with how this turned out.
Also being an angelic being I gave him an extra finger, that now your guy’s problem actually.
He also has a bunch of other details.
First let’s get out my biggest regret; His arms don’t have that 3rd Life Purple in them. I managed to include the eyes, but not the arms. Truly this is the miss opportunity of a life time. Hindsight on a picture is a bitch.
Another thing that is awful Hindsight is that blank belt buckle.
But hey at least I got his final Last Life death but Arrow scar. Also Skizz has a couple explosion deaths so of course that’s what I a going to turn his skin’s arm makes into.
I also managed to refence the light red lettering of BEST into his head as well. My man cuts and dye’s his hair.
He’s also has a golden headpiece that looks like a halo!
Also kinda went ham on the Sunflowers, idk why but he one for every BEST member.
Now onto the last details of this boy
This man coordinated with his best buddy on outfits.
Please believe me when I say Impulse is wearing blue socks you can’t see to match their matching shoes and pocket embellishments.
Speaking of whom, onto the man himself!
Now first off let’s get the obvious out of the way: I miss Boatem.
Now let’s talk about the fun stuff like his golden apple key chain and his sharp claws and sharp lips.
Or how his little demon horns and tails have floating little guys that give that “i” look to them, with the fade in yellow.
And of course the most cute thing: Him and Impulse share colors in the same area where their forehead touches. Really just wanted to give that sweet vibes they give off.
Just something nice.
Of course that’s not the only thing they share.
Two Rings chained together, one a clock the other copper. Matching compass watches to find the other and of course, compass and clock belt buckle with belt colors of the other man’s waist coat.
The Compass thing is one of those design details I wish I did differently by making compasses an Imp and Skizz thing to imply... something idk it’s up to you guys on that.
Now onto the little guy
This man is so skrunkly. What a Youtube
He has the moss corset coat, the clock tie pin, eyes bruised to hell and back, burns on the back of his neck from a game during the first season, and a smug look on his face despite the sword to his neck, you know the usual stuff!
Also his coat is more in line with the white sample from his skin’s shirt while the actually shirt’s white came from his teeth.
Very nervous about that hair line fade but was really happy with the end products, same with the bruise and beard texturing. Naturally white beard hair does not play nice with coloring!
Lastly let’s go over Etho boy over here.
He is of course in full weeb attire, but after being informed he was not allowed to cosplay Canadian Jonin Kakashi Hatake to the wedding, he instead decided to cosplays Wedding arc Jonin Kakashi Hatake but the outfit looks more snazy.
This includes his leaf belt and sleeve patch as well as a mirror patch of a head course heard. He’s wearing a proper archer glove but the cosplay rears it’s head again with heart hand plates.
And of course Socks with Sandals to top this whole outfit off. If you look closely you can also see the dark green “E” pattern to match the one on his skin’s chest. With of course the “Zipper” color being moved to the bottom layer fabrics.
His sandal color is also his belt color.
Also he has tiny little claws and pointy ears. Because I waited to make him vaguely not human and hadn’t fell in love with Mimicking Mocking Raven Etho like I now have. His not red eye matched his life color, while his red one keeps it’s blood and a cool heart shape.
Then of course he does have a bunch of burn and exposition scars, as well as an arrow scar covered up his mask.
Lastly; he shares some green and brow in his hair from his significant annoyance. Truly the best Murder Bois!

And with that, we’ve gone over all the details except for a obvious detail or two I might’ve forgotten. I tried my best to comb through it all though :)
Anyways Hope you’ve enjoyed!
