this is how I imagined this Encounter went, everyone else is trying to look inconspicuous because MANAGER WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY IT WANTS A HUG WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE-

meanwhile my K Corp Hong Lu:

this man is genuinely a Freak and a Menace

I love him for it actually

[luparaneo]

I needed to make something to adequately express my frustration

[wolfspiders-web]

with OFF coming to the Switch I just realized the funniest crossover ever

[wolfspiders-web]

Dedan, Guardian of Zone 1 and Metal

The Zone of Alma oversees all raw material procurement in the Queen's lands, whether that's mining, agriculture, or recovery, which is then sent to Vesper for processing. Its wrathful Guardian, Dedan, has ruled it with an iron fist since its inception. While the suns of untold years has baked his skin just the same as a human, he doesn't appear to be one like the Elsen he keeps under his boot. He's as overworked as they are, his teeth and nails overgrown due to neglect because of time, time, time. There's just not enough damn TIME for everything he needs to do so he cuts out what he considers the least important events in his schedule, putting himself last to serve the Queen first. Rumors once abounded about how Dedan had a sunnier disposition, bringing hopes his sour mood might wane someday, but now they're just the stuff of barely-uttered legends on woefully short breaks.

I kinda feel like I Disneyfied him but you know how many naked molerat anthros I've seen in general. zero. fite me ignore the fact that I haven't actively looked for them shhh

yoinked his palette from one of the bits of art Mortis Ghost drew that depicted the Guardians in color because it makes him look kinda rusty

Anyway some little trivia nibbles:

heavy smoker. not like he can get cancer, so

he used to be just as pale as the Batter is and and now he's the posterchild for a lifetime in a tanning booth

has no front teeth for his "inner" mouth, because they make up the large chompers outside of it toothless grandpa Dedan lul

he can open his mouth very, very, TERRIFYINGLY wide if he needs to and has a biteforce like nothing else in the Zones

his body being metal and kind of rough means you can strike a match off him. he'll instantly put you in the ground for it tho

for the same reason he's like a living magnesium firestarter and can start fires off of himself with friction such as by rubbing his fingers

theoretically could be scruffed like a naked molerat can be, but because he's absolutely shredded all the muscle mostly prevents that. in the past Enoch has settled for grabbing him by the collar of his coat instead (Dedan has always hated this)

dislikes the sun/light and his eyesight suffers quite a bit during the day, and generally hates being above ground to begin with, so he def likes the mines the most

an old rumor says he wrestled with a rampaging Moloch bull once until it settled down, but nobody can agree if it took a few hours or a few days for him to calm it that way. discussing these old legends about their boss is one of the ways Elsen trapped in the mines will pass the time while hopefully awaiting rescue, and sometimes the debates can get heated (for them, anyway)

heard Meursault was also a Maybaby so here's to this man on this marvelous Monday

[wolfspiders-web]

Dedan still gnawing on my arm rn BUT have this perfectly normal Batter in the meantime c:

my favorite thing about the OFF fandom is we all just take Some Dude and turn him into an absolute freak in our own unique ways

[wolfspiders-web]

BATTER

UP

[wolfspiders-web]

we're in hell again fellas

[wolfspiders-web]

anyway here's some tonal whiplash

Batter grab ur weird ass Puppeteer before the intrusive thoughts win and they try to reenact Shadow of the Colossus (or Dedan goes in for a punt)

[wolfspiders-web]

did I genuinely forget to post this on my tumblr when I finished this like a year ago. lmao welp

anyway this is what it felt like as a new player in 2023 to yolo pull on a banner and get my first 5* ever in two 10-pulls

this man REALLY wanted to come home I guess

[wolfspiders-web]

Time was not kind.

[wolfspiders-web]

it's dangerous to go alone, take this!

mOFF.

yes this is my OFF player being represented by a moth because I think I'm hilarious

and now I get to draw the Batter being harassed/led around by this incredibly rotund creature the size of a bird

and this creature gets to make Bad Decisions uwu

their color is orange like the main logo, so if you slam them up against a surface hard enough they leave a cheeto dust imprint like owls do when they hit a window

(but please don't, they are incredibly fragile <3 )

still working out the design but that's the basic idea

maybe they have competences. or a human form. idk

mOFF.

[wolfspiders-web]

I'm still in OFF art superhell but a song came up on my Spotify that I forgot ever liking and it grisped me with an unshakeable fury for these two and I needed to at least rip out a WIP or I'll go insane

song is Friendly Fire by Linkin Park: [link]

[wolfspiders-web]

Idea time!

since Dedan is described with "a body of steel" I had a cool idea to give the other Guardians aspects of an element (iirc none of them have official elements but I'm also still going through a new playthrough for the first time in uhhh. over 10 years. lol. lmao)

we all know cats are in fact a liquid, so the Judge gets to be the element Plastic uwu

Dedan is Metal (ya don't say), Japhet is Smoke (a firebird on the verge of combusting!), Enoch is Sugar (through his own doing), and Hugo is Meat (ofc)

[wolfspiders-web]

(wip) Bushi but I stole Gleam/Sheen's pose because there ain't no way that isn't where they got the idea from and I am HERE for it

[luparaneo]

My 2023 @secret-cyborg for @little-huitzil! Eh, but why's it kinda positioned funny?

That's because it's a tiling background~ I had a lot going on this year but I still wanted to fulfill this so hope you like it! I couldn't really think of who to focus on, so I figured the more the merrier c:
