Here have a really confusing timeline you didn’t want-

(“Creation” in this sense means when the soul and vessel were put together and gained sentience, hence put into the incomplete DW keep in mind canon characters are peppered around here as well, along with blanks that aren’t noteworthy)

Oh crap now that that chapters out I can info dump!!

BOY OH BOY

Reconnecting process info-dump!

The design process of Mare_Night:

I didn’t actually even bother lining version 1 because it ended up looking a bit too friendly, and I wanted something that didn’t give off good vibes

Getting to version 2 was extremely quick because of my co-writer sitting next to me, he gave me a color palette from a video game that I kind of took and ran with, and yeah- Mare_Night originally had another set of hoof-like legs that didn’t make it to the final.

This version was actually implemented the DAY I started drawing the update of its debut, I scrapped the extra legs and made it lean forward on the arms to be more animal like (I think some form of ape was the inspo) final colors were chosen so certain things would stand out more, and thus the final version was born.

C- Gmb_l and the one who isn’t named

Wow look at these guys!

I actually designed them first try all the way back in JANUARY. The names have changed since the beggining…

C was actually a filler name until I could decide on something, co-writer who dabbles in coding as well suggested C- (which has something to do with coding language) and it stuck since then

So- this one actually doesn’t have a name… and for a reason! She hasn’t picked one yet! Since these characters are technically “incomplete” some arrive without a name, and while C- and Gmb_l arrived with names, and others choose their own, she hasn’t found one that fits right yet…

Ah, Gmb_l my little guy, I am extremely emotionally attached to him. He’s just a little man. He’s just a little boy, he’s just a little guy. His original name on his first concept was “unfinishedchildfile.2png” in a different language, but it lacked the friendliness I wanted and is really a mouthful 😆

My co-writer introduced the idea of something similar to the name trends of Undertale, apparently Frisk is defined as: (of an animal or person) skip or leap playfully; frolic.

So Foxtale suggested

Gmb_l (as in Gambol) is defined as: (verb) run or jump about playfully.

R_mp (as in Romp) is defined as: (of a person or animal) to run or play in a lively, carefree, or boisterous manner.

And I didn’t want people thinking his name was Rump so here we are.

I guess the question now is what do I have in store to come?

guess you’ll have to stick around to find out :)
