most of you will not understand the agony of this outfit. but hey here's fantasy au Howdy!
rambles:
yes. i know. he looks like a gunslinger. but I think it'd be funny if Howdy shows up and he minorly tweaks the genre simply by Existing! plus, he has to make himself useful beyond being a traveling salesman - he doesn't have a scrap of magic in him! so! alchemist gunslinger!
due to much of this "final" outfit design being Miguel's (@indigopoptart <3 thanks for your help homeslice <3) influence, i have less to say than usual! i'll talk about the things i Kept from the first terrible, terrible draft!
i wanted him to have full-coverage gloves because One, gloves fuck, & Two, shooting gloves! plus, he regularly works with dangerous materials! gotta keep his hands as safe as possible! speaking of his guns, they were a Ton of fun to draw. i wanted to make them ornate... Howdy seems like he'd enjoy nice things? fancy stuff perhaps? anyway the guns have his tavern "logo" on them!
the "second safety" mentioned triggers a magic-oriented mechanism that allows him to piece the guns together! they "unfold" into a big ol clusterfuck of a powerhouse weapon! unfortunately, using this immediately breaks the guns and they have to be repaired, so it's a "break glass in case of emergency" ace up the Neighborhood's sleeve!
i like to imagine that his bandolier, while cool, stresses everyone out a little bit. each bullet is full of pressurized weaponized magic. If they break while on the bandolier, well! Howdy would probably be very much Royally Fucked! i also drew the bullets too large here, so imagine that there's a lot more than shown and they're a lot smaller. I didn't realize this mistake until right now! oopsies!
i want to keep elements of the canon outfits in these fantasy ones. hence why his vest is striped and blue, he's still got the reddish brown pants, and! why his cloak clasp is shaped like a tie! and why the inside of his cloak resembles his apron!
i like to think that Howdy got his magic pack by swindling some poor soul out of it! when the buckles are undone, it unfolds into a vendor stand that looks Much different than the tiny scribble provided! said scribble is there to ah... what's the word. Demonstrate? get the point across? it's actually quite a nice stall! he has space to sell, and a workbench to tinker on! the pockets on the bag actually do function as pockets, though.

Hey friends! I'm running a small sale on full body commissions, I'm taking 5 slots at $85 a character (down from my standard price of $100). I need more examples for my website, and I just want to draw some characters :3c alsooo if anyone's interested, I'm offering discounts on commissions of your character with my sona Sammy!
PLEASE NOTE, Your character *must* have a ref sheet or full body image I can work from. I'm not designing characters for these, sorry!
ALSO, please have an idea or pose in mind! It can be generic, like "playing a switch" or "enjoying the outdoors" but I need to have an idea to work from ^_^
LAST THING, I'm changing my shading/background style a bit from my past work, I'm not going to be offering detailed cel shading or backgrounds. Minimal shading and simple bg elements are fine! I've just been way too overwhelmed lately to take on complicated projects.
Sale prices are as follows:
- 1 character: $85
- 2 characters: $170
- Your character and Sammy: $145
Some more rules:
- my regular ToS applies!
- sfw and nsfw allowed! (ToS still applies)
- again, must have ref sheet or image of character.
- payments through Paypal invoice only.
- turnaround time will be 4-6 weeks!
- I may be slightly more picky than usual with these, I might pass up more complicated characters or ideas. Feel free to run ideas by me though!
DM me if you're interested in grabbing a slot, or have any other questions! ^w^
Stylistically they'll be similar to this! I can do a bit more detailed bg too, feel free to ask to see more examples.

I find it incredibly funny that emu and rui are made out to be the most academically talented out of the wxs unit given that they both also need to be babysat anytime the group goes out in public. Their boundless intelligence and unending whimsy is matched only by their need to get sillay.

Guys I have done it- It took me a while to cook up but-
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!! 💝💝💘💘💓💓✨✨🍫🍫
I unfortunately couldn’t finish it yesterday cuz I had a hair appointment to attend too 💇♀️💇♀️✨✨
But other than that I made these two guys:
Btw I think I got a new headcannon (kinda-)! When Peppino is feeling anxious, annoyed, stressed, etc: his mustache is down and just looks flat or stretched. When he’s either happy or around Gus and genuinely feels safe: his mustache curves like shown here 💞💞☝️☝️
Hehe, these two love each other so much 💗💗
But don’t think that’s all!! I I did this for fluff….
….
But I also made something spicy..
(Tw(?): It’s that one shirtless Peppino sprite- 💀)
Look at your own risk-
(I can’t do backgrounds FOR SHIT but I love how this came out it took me HOURS-)
*clears throat* Happy Valentine’s Day guys 💕💕
