#DarkLobster

[quibbs126]

I did another one that no one was necessarily asking for, but I still wanted to do, this is Vampire Shrimp Cookie

I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure if this is even a ship, or if anyone but me ships it (and maybe @bellatheinkdemon considering they made darklobster comics this morning? But that might have just been because I requested a fankid for this ship and they decided to do more afterwards), but I think it’d be neat. I know in canon they haven’t interacted, but their backstories seem similar and I would really like to see them interact at some point, and see how they’d work off each other. Okay, I don’t think that’s very solid of a reasoning, but I just thought shipping them would be kind of neat, and put them on my list. Then this morning I had a bit of a darklobster kick, so I made this one

So does anyone remember that one time when I went on a bender looking up shrimp and then posting about them? Well okay, I only made one post, but I did still do that. Anyways, so one I particularly liked was the vampire shrimp, and I was considering using one for a darklobster kid, since shrimp and lobster are related, plus they’re big (for shrimp) and rather bulky, and also they apparently give off the impression of being scary, when in reality they really aren’t, which seems to fit Dark Choco’s personality (also they aren’t vampiric, so I’m not sure why they’re called that). So I thought “good enough” and put it as a candidate, and to be honest I just wanted to make this into a Cookie, so yeah

Vampire shrimp:

So I’ll be honest, I definitely put more Lobster into her design than Dark Choco, though I’m not entirely sure how to fix that. I gave her a grayish color because I remembered some vampire shrimp having blue-grayish shells, but I think they were more blue than I remembered. Lobster’s tone probably could have worked fine, but I mean, it makes her look more like a mix. And I gave her black hair to give her some similarities to Dark Choco (as well as me thinking it’d work good with the grey). I also put in some reds like Lobster, though I think it helps with the whole “vampire” part of her name, as well as the fact that she’s supposed to have an at least somewhat crooked mouth that resembles fangs. Though again, vampire shrimp aren’t vampiric. I gave her normal hands instead of claws because vampire shrimp don’t have claws. Also I gave her a little shark plush because she’s supposed to be shy, and I thought her hiding herself behind a toy would sell that, and I made it a shark to match Lobster’s sea aesthetic. Though maybe I should have chosen something different, as it does still lean in to the “more emphasis on Lobster” thing

I’ll be honest, I just sort of made something up for her dress. That’s something I’ve noticed, if I make a character where their torso is largely obscured, I’ll have no clue what to do for the outfit. Ah well

Also I don’t know why I drew her as a child. One thing I wanted to portray is that vampire shrimp are bulky, but I can’t really do that with a young child. Maybe I can draw her again as an adult, because that’s definitely something I wanted to keep, she’s supposed to be large. But for now at this age, she’s very small, which I guess works with her shrimp thing. Also don’t know when I decided to make her a girl, I think I was originally going to make her either a boy or non binary. Ah well

So as for her character, there’s not too much, she’s pretty basic. She’s a very shy young girl, who often hides behind her parents (or in Dark Choco’s case, usually within his capes/cloaks). She’s rather timid and has a hard time opening up to people, but if you get her to open up, she’s a very friendly individual who likes to play with others

I’d also imagine Mocha Ray to be like an aunt to Vampire Shrimp, and someone she loves to play with

Growing up, I don’t imagine her to be a warrior, as she’s very non aggressive and would rather settle things peacefully. Not sure what she’d do though

(I may or may not have just taken her personality from what I read about how vampire shrimp behave, but shh. Also I felt like it fits)

Anyways yeah, not much to say on that end. I know at one point I said part of my issues is that I wasn’t able to flesh out these fankids’ personalities in time, but now I have all the time in the world and am able to come up with very little. Though then again, it could also be the lack of creative juices flowing while I’m at home

But regardless, I hope you like her!

Just some of drawings I did for the last couple of days. I like a lil DarkLobster and Carnaberg.

I have not done Cuphead fanart in 2 years holy smokes.

[bellatheinkdemon]

Fankid art!

Fyi, Vampire Shrimp (Cookie with the plushie) and Charcoal Cheese (Cookie with the goatee) aren't my Ocs! They belong to my pal @quibbs126 ! Choco Taiyaki and Choco Cheese Log are mine!

The art of Vampire Shrimp and Choco Taiyaki is somewhat meant to be a redraw of art I did of them in the past last year. (Since they're both DarkLobster kids) The art is basically Choco Taiyaki introducing Vampire Shrimp to her friends. Quibbs mentioned that Vampire Shrimp is very shy so that's why they're hiding behind Choco Taiyaki.

Now for the art of Charcoal Cheese and Choco Cheese Log (Dark Cacao x Golden Cheese kids) is them in the Dark Cacao Kingdom. (There's no reason why Charcoal Cheese would actually be in the Kingdom according to his lore but eh ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ )

Also apart of Charcoal Cheese's lore, since his main location is the Parmesan Dessert, I think I'd be funny if Charcoal Cheese would not like the cold one but, even when simply snowing (Quibbs you're free to correct me if this isn't the case) while Choco Cheese Log is basically immune to it since they grew up in the Kingdom and being shirtless 24/7.

Thank this unfinished thing I was gonna do with all of my Dark Choco fankid when I realised I don't have enough of them to do it 😅

For anyone wondering:

Choco Taiyaki is a DarkLobster kid

Choco Peach Tart is a DarkPeach kid

Raspberry Ripe is a DarkRasp kid

And Choco Cream Cake is a DarkWhip kid

[bellatheinkdemon]

Y'know what time it is? Poll time, baby!

Why is it poll time? Well, considering I don't have any fankids request at the moment, I thought I should redesign some old ones.

I'll actually redesign three of them. Aka, I'll redesign first, second and third place. And if there's somehow a tie between either first, second or third, well I guess it'll be another poll.

But with that out of the way...
