FNAF FANARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!! DJ MUSIC MAN AND MUSIC MAN ARE NOT THE SAME CHARACTER
many times, when fnaf artists are requested to draw music man/dj music man, they get them mixed up!!! which is reasonable!!!!!!! we know almost nothing about them, google mixes them up constantly, and a certain matpat meme has only made it more confusing!
They all have very similar faces, but they've got some staggering differences!!!!! so im detailing them and also giving some trivia/our known knowledge of them!!!
MUSIC MAN (FFPS)
The OG music man! He made his debut in FFPS/Pizzeria Simulator and makes another appearance in UCN. He is!!! weird!!
He's not built like a spider-centaur, he's literally like a minecraft creeper with a torso and a bunch of legs at the bottom.
He's got a design unlike any other fnaf animatronic, even deviating from the style of the human ones, though this is speculated to be because he seems to have design elements from enemies and bosses from Scott Cawthon's other game, The Desolate Hope.
He's described to have "something undesirable" inside him (it's never explained what) and in the Posh Pizzeria group he is the only one to have a liability risk at times - in UCN he's the only one of the posh pizzeria that can and will kill you. Also, weirdly enough, in UCN he's the only animatronic other than the original Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy to use the FNAF 1 scream. Despite being called Music Man, his gimmick in UCN is that he hates noise and you need to keep it down for him to not kill you - music also counts as noise for him.
He's voiced by Matthew Curtis, who also voices nightmare Balloon Boy, here are his lines for UCN!
DJ MUSIC MAN (Security Breach)
DJ Music Man! (Always abbreviated to DJMM in-game)
If MM is built like a creeper then DJ is built like a pig - he's Horizontal and looks more spider-y
There's even less info on him, but here goes:
He's a party host who makes up all of his music on the spot, but in between sessions he cleans around the Plex! The reason why he goes nuts and tries to kill Gregory is that he has an experimental but prohibited bouncer mode that was turned on, which is why he's chill afterwards. He also doesn't speak, unlike Music Man.
BONUS: WINDUP MUSIC MAN (Security Breach)
Windup Music Man!
Designwise they're almost identical to MM, but they look like they got microwaved and scraped across asphalt at mach 10. And also got a windup key stuck in their back. And TINY
Ingame they're described to be a prototype of Music Man that escaped the little museum part of the Plex, and that's all we really know. Other than that, their dynamic together is kind of comparable to a bunch of ants working together. They also JUMP and can be seen conversing/playing together.
ALSO: Those cymbals are not legs, they just have a really weird stance similar to actual tarantulas.
There's technically 394 Windup Music Men because the game randomly generates them from a collection of fucked up parts.
There's no height indication for Music Man but here's one for the security breach cast by @/musings-of-astromonster
happy music man-ing

The idea that all the little music men are Michaels kids is killing me.
Would that make Dj music man his son as well?
you could say they have history.
all music men can and will be instantly adopted and taken in by Michael “blows half his pizzaria budget on music man” Afton
bonus thing i wrote once in discord
“michael afton, in a cramped office, with three animatronics in the vents, keeping his several taken sponsorship advertisements and un-upgraded appliances(to “save up”) from going HHGHGHGHHGHGHGHHGHGHHGGHGHGHGHGHG and alerting the whole building, rocking back and forth on his plastic chair that has One slightly shorter than the rest leg for some reason: yes we’re gonna save all of the excess income for music man, no need for a new chair this is gonna be so worth it omg”

January-February 2024 Sketch Dump
Another sketch dump, featuring more FNAF doodles. I have some more of my faves, the Daycare Attendant and Foxy, plus some characters I've never drawn before, DJ Music Man, Circus Baby, and Helpy.
Two of these pictures are basically remakes of old ones. Foxy is a colorful version of an old Inktober picture I did years ago, and I redid my recent "Sun-glasses" picture, too. Now Sun looks even "cooler" than ever. Because we all know that Sun is the coolest guy in the Pizzaplex.... The Eclipse sketch remained un-inked because I already finished that one on Photoshop.
I'd also like to draw attention to my little Sun and Moon drawings on the right. Sun is snuggling with his Moon plush. Unfortunately, Moon is a little rougher on his things than Sun is...
Oh, and the Circus Baby on the left ended up with a somewhat misshapen face because my hand slipped while inking. I didn't know what to do at that point but work with what I had.
Five Nights at Freddy's is property of Scott Cawthon.

POV: Patrolling your (and your partner/friend whatever)'s pizzeria and meeting Music Man
Under the cut! Your companion is barely mentioned but still, you meet the original music fella! Turns out he's got a human's personality and he seems to like you!
Somehow, the pizzeria you and your partner run has been gaining traction in less than a week. Sometimes, your partner in the office seems to be struggling, in various intensities, but you had a more chill job. You merely watched over the main party area at night and would check up on all animatronics and equipment to make sure everything was in proper working order.
Recently, you made a new purchase (partly against your partner's wishes; they weren't a fan of the thing). A new sort of animatronic. No normal animal species either. It's name is Music Man.
A clown-looking cymbal player with spider legs that would accept song requests, singing them in a wobbly, multi-toned voice with beats from cymbals. Your partner and many guests grimaced at the machine, but you felt pretty drawn to it. You weren't scared. Instead, you digged that look. This dude was funky in a good way.
Tonight, you examine his powered down body up close, inspecting his joints, motor, wires, etc. Unlike your partner, you had no problem getting up close and personal with this character. In fact, not yet have you been able to request a song for him to sing. You debated powering him on to do just that, but then decided against it, as you didn't want to irritate your already stressed out coworker.
You turn and walk away after checking up on his current state, only to pause in place as the subtle pang of cymbals clinking against each other gently reverberates in the open area. You turn your head around slowly, nervous, and you only see Music Man in his usual position with his cymbals held apart. But you were too curious. You approached him once again and began to investigate the instruments, soon seeing just how tightly he held onto them. As you experimented with prying open his fingers, one suddenly opened and pinned your own finger down against the handle of the cymbal.
You yelped in fear. Though you were able to remove your finger quickly without struggle, you stumbled backwards a good few steps. Your reaction was so pitiful in fact, that it prompted another strange noise from the animatronic.
"Sorryyy...I'm afraid I just couldn't help myself-"
A quiet, warbled whisper came from Music Man's speaker on his chest. You were stunned. You knew you had shut this guy off earlier when the restaurant closed.
"What-" you muttered aloud.
He turned his head slightly to look directly at you, before performing a calm, barely noticeable shrug.
"I'm sorry for scaring you. I just wanted some...entertainment. it's dull and lonely in here at night."
He spoke with calm happiness, as if he held back a small chuckle. His legs began to bend outwards as his entire body lowered. He gently placed his cymbals on the floor as to not make much noise, before rising up once again and holding his open hands up, palms outward and fingers outspread to show he is unarmed and means no harm.
"Don't get so scared of me now, after you've shown me such love, especially in front of other guests!" He laughed.
You shook your head, glancing all over him. Since when did he act like he had his own soul? Like he was a living being? Never had he acted like this during the day.
"I'm sorry...? How long have you been able to act like this?"
"Like what, hm? Like someone with personality and feelings?" He rose one of his eyebrows and lowered his hands to his sides. "Is it really that unusual with technology these days? Is it not the niftiest thing?" He punctuated this with his arms outstretched and legs rising up and down, moving his entire body with them.
You spread your own arms out as to gesture to his entire self. "I mean- it's...cool I guess- it..just...I wasn't expecting it??"
Now, you were questioning yourself and whether your initial reaction to what he did was called for or not. He seemed friendly enough after all. For now.
He lowered himself again with multiple creaks of metal, picked up his cymbals, and returned to his usual posture while taking a few subtle steps towards you. His steps were as light and careful as his other movements, and since you did in fact fancy him in a way, you stood your ground and simply kept close eye on him as he moved ever so closer to you.
"Well...Now that you're expecting it, perhaps we can start over?"
He moves a cymbal to his other hand to hold them both in one grasp, lowers his head, and tips his hat to you before looking back at you with that ginormous grin he always sported.
"Hello there! My name is Music Man, and I'm your resident singer and musician! Unlike the animals, I'm a one-man band, and I aim to help your ratings skyrocket!" He then quickly gripped both cymbals in each hand and held them upwards to the ceiling, his entire body rising as high as it could, all to demonstrate every ounce of energy and confidence he had.
Now, you couldn't hide how your lips cracked into a half-grin. Now HE was entertaining. His personality paired with his unique voice was surely a combo.
"Hi Music man, I'm (y/n), and, uh..." what could you even say? You were still partially shocked at how expressive and lifelike he was. Best to play along, you assumed, in case it was merely more programmed stuff. "And I hope things go well between us-"
He wouldn't hurt you, right? Cause that would surely sour any potential friendship you two started.
He lowered to his normal height and spoke just as normally to you as any average person would.
"Well, I remember overhearing you say that you hated sudden loud sounds. And that you savored your peace and quiet. Is that right?"
That was definitely true. You nodded. He, in turn, nodded back, and you heard his voice lower in pitch ever-so-slightly.
"Then I'm sure we'll get along just fine~"

Muuuuuuusic Man!!! With 2 very small scenes from wakebymoonsleepbysun's Cymbal Crash Bar
closeup of the cutie pie
And for the Anti-Music Man, Pink Legacy
Pink Legacy is just a massive human-shaped swarm of various insects working together under one conciousness. That conciousness being the mind of an undercover detective who got murdered by Music Man while investigating the suspicious shit going on in Circus Baby's Pizza World
Bugs found them before the cops could and their vengeful corpse+bug amalgamation dismantled Music Man and is currently wearing his head as a trophy. They're really just a hippie if anything but they are the creepiest thing to be around with how they act.
Pre-Transformation Willed Organism!
She was just as scared of growing organs as anyone else who witnessed that. She didn't know what the hell was going on and quite frankly the prospect of breaking through the internal mechanisms of Music Man also raised the possibility that the souls within could just be stuck within instead, unable to move like fireflies in a jar.
Though the relief of being freed from the metallic grasp overshadowed that. The fear of everything staying the same outweighed the fear of change
