#chain refs

[marsmarbles]

I’ve fleshed out Scar and Sausage’s designs for my Chained Life au

I go a little bit more in depth on the designs under the cut.

Originally I had Scar in his classic outfit because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, but I decided I wanted to give him a robin-hood/Peter Pan vibe.

The feathers in his hat are meant to resemble vex wings, much like his hat in HermitCraft.

I think Scar would start out more Allay on his green life but then progressively gain more Vex features as he looses lives. Since I imagine this being Scar’s green life, I’ll probably change the hat feathers to look more like Allay wings.

Sausage didn’t change a lot for his initial conception. I wanted to do something more interesting with his eye scar, so I made it super messed up with a flower shaped iris. The eye’s really loose and can roll past the limits of a normal eye. It could probably roll to the back of his head as well. Other than that I gave him a lot of sunflowers to pay homage to Empires Sausage and Santa Perla.

I think Imma have the freaky eye carry onto my general design for Sausage.

Im hoping to do more detailed designs for all of the characters in Chained Life and redesign old ones with my current skills. I also love seeing fanart so I hope more concrete design references will be helpful to those who want to do that.

Jan 1st + Monday ("Moon Day" in Japanese)? Yep, felt like I should draw Moon God Sans again created by @aka-indulgence. Thank you to everyone who liked my previous Moon God Sans fan arts. Here's my thank you back after so long. The Tumblr compression/resolution thing is wonky with this one. "aka-indulgence" or someone else I know can PM me if you want to see the true resolution pic. I was trying to stick to the canon design. That...did not happen. Zen is too weak NOT to draw tattered clothes and other non-canon stuff.

(6) Happy easter :3

Finally. At long fucking last. I've drawn my 2nd top pick in the Redactedverse. He's technically the first person I ever tried to draw, but now I have a sketch I actually love.

I'm asking y'all to show some love to: Mr. Milo Greer

LIIIIIIIIKE only like 3 people have seen the first/earlier iterations of my Milo design, but this— this feels like him. And I'm so fucking happy with it now. /pos

Anyways I need him carnally, biblically, and in ways damaging to feminism

[Quick Stats (for my headcanon)]

-5'5" (Shortest of the pack minus Angel)

-Afro-Latino (Specifically Dominican)

-Always has some sort of chain, not negotiable. In his base canon design, it's this name chain. In other iterations, the chain takes different forms. (And yes. It stays on. You know what I mean.)

-As per my headcanon that all the pack has at least one scar on their face, his is across his left eyebrow.

-The body hair and the freckles were a must-have, they just make sense to give him in my mind /pos

-Despite "canon", I think his design meshes amazing with Maia's (aka my "Darlin" / Part of Moonlit Chains, my default ship if Milo or Darlin is involved)

sitting here with my head in my hands over just how much coalecroux is exactly tfgraves except tf incidentally happens to be a warlock alligator (a minor detail that changes surprisingly little overall tbh). I stand humbled once again before my own immense and unspeakable predictability

ideas for what a skool sux jennika would look like,,.,, (i have absolutely no concrete lore at all but goddammit they need their older sister)

donnie was the oldest before this random ass came into their life that is why is he is probably the most reluctant to take her in as part of the family

SHES BASED OFF A MATA MATA TURTLE !!!! THE BEST KIND OF TURTLE IN THE WORLD REF PICTURES UNDER THE CUT

Tin, I was away for a month, I'm sorry

I've finally retired from my studies and am slowly starting to get used to drawing

I began to draw according to my AU according to Cult of the Lamb, I'm even going to go to the ask (crazy, I know)

I also plan to draw Leshy, the rest of the bishops, and generally make a normal post with an explanation

[charlixcxashtray]

this alliance name is 100% influenced by tucker being from boston 😭

[honkceasar]

Wiwi supersuit but I swagified it

[sundial-bee-scribbles]

trying to psych myself up to finally do oc refs by doing fandom-related refs instead: volume 1

wanted to update my yuma from whatever tf this au is so he was a bit more unique... takes inspo from a lot of different things while also trying to be its own sorta thing? which is fitting given the au ;)

bonus chibi now that i'm also figuring out how tf to do chibis lol:

We are proud to formally introduce the Pokémon ScarVi Bridged Toxicity AU!! (huge thanks to @the-new-pokespe-futures for the name idea!!)

AU info under the cut! (Warning; its pretty long haha)

Background stuff first: Pecharunt uses they/it and can speak very limited English. We will be referring to the MC as Florian.

-☆★☆-

Pecharunt’s story is largely the same as in canon. They are a lonely pokemon who just wants to have a friend, but takes some less than moral approaches in doing so.

When Pecha first encountered the Loyal 3, they did not fully know what their Toxic Chains were capable of; they knew it granted power, but did not know about the controlling aspects of it. It was not until after they had chained the 3 against their wills and saw their reactions that Pecharunt realized what they could do. They prefer not to actively control people, and instead tend to leave them mostly alone or only passively influence them, unless necessary to defend themself or their chained. Pecha is not actively malicious in this AU, however, their actions still very much have a negative effect.

Many years later, after they go dormant in the wake of Ogerpon’s retaliation, Pecharunt is reawakened around the same time as the Loyal 3’s revivals. They wander Kitakami, and encounter Kieran after he runs from the confrontation with Florian where the Paldean catches Ogerpon.

The two talk and walk, and eventually it comes to Pecharunt offering Kieran a deal after hearing his situation. Pecharunt will give Kieran power in the form of a Toxic Chain, and in return Kieran will allow Pecharunt to remain with him and they will be “friends.” Kieran, in his desire for power to defeat Florian, eagerly accepts the deal and the chain.

Kieran’s willingness to become chained causes it to react much differently than it did with the 3 (who resisted its control). Rather than simply attaching itself to him, the chain became part of him; painfully burrowing under his skin and resting along his spine, with the end of it coming out like a tail of sorts. He can retract it, but it is very uncomfortable to do.

Over time, as Kieran embraces the chain’s effects, and him and Pecharunt grow closer, more and more physical changes develop, and they become more difficult and more uncomfortable to hide. Eventually, mental changes also develop, and Kieran sometimes finds himself feeling more Pokémon than human…

-☆★☆-

The main theme of the AU is a question: what is the border between human and nonhuman? What is the point at which someone is no longer considered to be “human?” Is it physical? Is it mental? Is it a mix? Or is it something else entirely? What does it mean to no longer be human and become something else? The AU’s name comes from Kieran being somewhere on that bridge between human and Pokémon; not truly on either side anymore.

It’s a complex idea that we have SO MANY thoughts about because of personal experiences, and a complex relationship with being “human.”

The ref sheet above is in the earlier stages of the AU, where Kieran’s physical changes haven’t become too drastic yet, and he is still mostly human. That will change though (still working on those designs)

The AU at the moment is mostly conceptual with little actual story. That may change, or it may not; story-writing isn’t exactly our strong suit. And some parts of the concept are still fluid (like Kieran and Pecharunt’s relationship being more genuinely friendly, or more toxic and deceptive).

Anyone who wants to write/draw something with the concept is free to, with credit of course! And questions are very much welcomed; we love talking about this!

We also have an ask/RP blog for the AU, @chained-champion, which follows a timeline where Kieran and Pecha are more genuine friends, and Kieran’s physical changes are still in the earlier stages, with minimal mental effects. That will change as the blog goes on though~

Thanks for reading this (very long) post! We have more planned for the AU (like working on designs for Kieran as the physical changes develop, and he becomes less and less human; very excited for those ones!)
