Had a hypothetical question of if Doppelneer had a light creature form what would that look like?
Proceeds to fill an entire sketchbook page:
I'm now debating if this could potentially appear canonicaly in the AU somewhere.
Maybe a dream sequence or alternate ending or something else hmmm...
If you are wondering what the text says on it, it was just from me and a friend chatting on discord that I thought was funny while working on the page so I added it in to fill space.
My friend:
Reminds me of something that would come from one of those books I read " They were adorned in yellowy orange fabric, the snowy white scale like feathers lined with gold flowed over them as a cape..." etc etc
My Reply Right after trying to Quote Cesare from Bigtop Burger:
They would stick out like a horseshoe crab in a fresh water environment
Below is just some close up pictures of the page and some other details.
Mediums I used: alcohol markers, water-based markers, various black pens, gel pens, metallic watercolors, and a white posca marker. :D

Eye Strain and Body Horror Below :)
And Doppelneer in despair :O
This is slightly crusty because my files are too powerful for tumblr and I had to make the file smaller.
Something is lurking in the distance...
Just a drawing idea I had. Then it became a GIF. It turned out nice though.
The words on it are some out of context lyrics I thought were neat from a The Cure song (The Lovecats) but I realized later it's the same lyrics used for a secret in Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion that I forgot about. XD
Also the pose looks very similar to one in a movie poster for the 2012 The Thing movie. I swear it just a coincidence. (Granted both The Thing movies have been on my mind lately)
I might post some still images from this in higher quality at a later point in time.

A Wee Bit of Catching Up With This Mess
Soooo originally this was going to be a big post on my main tumblr blog @abyssforphantoms , but I got thinking about it and it just made more sense to make this on it's own blog and repost it over there if I feel like it... instead of spamming my main with this au stuff.
Anyway, Welcome to the mess that is my brain and They Came From The Deep Au. I will not be going too deep into the story in this post, but will do a short summary and explain my prosses behind my decent into madness with the various stuff I have accumulated for it over the year.
Summary:
After the final quest the Abyss Crew was fine. Cannoneer was back, safe with the rest of the crew, and they have gotten what they wanted when they went down to those accursed depths (even though they almost didn't make it back if it weren't for the skykid). So everything should be fine, back to status quo... right?
Well it was for a bit.
Then strange stuff started happening.
Supplies keep disappearing and shifting around the reef. The members of the crew feel like they are being watched from a distance, and the sea almost seems more restless. Every one has a sense of unease...
None more so then Cannoneer,
because of the weird dreams they keep having, and now the crew is saying they did things they didn't do. It was like they were at two places at once.
Then they saw it-them from a distance... they looked almost exactly them! but something was off...
Now it's up to Cannoneer to figure out what is going on, what does this doppelganger (a.k.a Doppelneer or Cannondoppel) want and convince the crew this isn't another one of their "embellished stories".
Meanwhile other things deep down start to stir... and they aren't going to be as "friendly".
And yes Doppelneer will be a big part of this post
Warning: the images below may have some BODY HORROR.
Veiwer Discretion is Advised.
Around August 2022??? - the sticky note
The thing I drew that started it all
Thr original idea for it was just what if cackling cannoneer but dark creature
I forgot that it existed until...
October 2022 - "A Familiar Face That Is or Isn't You"
I found the sticky note again and wanted to explore the design further in a one off piece (and then it wasn't, lmao)
I also got into exploring doppelgangers as an idea which lead to me having the questions
"If someone from the Abyss Crew had a doppelganger who would have the most interesting reaction?" (You can guess who I picked lol)
"What if the doppelganger wasn't nessasarly evil but thought they were the person and the person they are a doppelganger of was a doppelganger that took over their life, thus kinda wanting to sabotage the person's life a little?"
I drew this piece in my sketchbook but then colored digitally

Finished Art
Drawing Process / Alternative Versions
November 2022 - Old Reference Sheet for Cannondoppel
Very outdated and crusty
I will post the updated ref in another post
DON'T USE THIS ONE I BEG OF U!!!!
December 2022 - "Breath in Deep Water"
Digital painting
Just a story idea
Waking up one day being able to breathe water must be jarring ngl
First appearance of the phantom eyes
Posted 1 January 2023 on my deviantart
January - Inspirational Glitch happened in Sky
Didn't really do to much with the Au for a bit, nor does this really have to deal with the au
But this happened to me one day and thought it was neat yet felt like walking into a sky creepy pasta.
It's the red green visual glitch and the spirit staring glitch with Cannoneer happening at the same time
March - Some Old Doodles
"There is always a bigger fish. "
More experimenting with the story in my mind
May - "Reflections"
"Just a reflection in the void"
Changed some details with Doppelneer, mainly hair and sometimes they have a tail
Reversed
July - artfight cameo
just a small appearance
Nothing too much too note
And that is it for now will return soon with more stuff soon

As promised, higher quality still images from this post:
I'm just going to say this, I think the treasure reef area would look so cool at night. (But also seeing it with lots of fog or at sunset would be neat too)
Body horror and bright colors below!
I had too much fun with the filters in the art program I use. I love static.
Yeah... Cannondoppel's face can split open like that but it's painful. Their anatomy is very strange, to say the least.
Fun fact: the words in the first and third pictures are on cut up pieces of paper I took pictures of and edited. I like mixed media vibes, okay?
