I hope you'll forgive me, but these came to me in an almost delirious state the other morning when my brain wouldn’t let me sleep :s
I give you the sleuths now in the flesh.
Can’t forget the bossman either:
“This time you bruise and bleed too, angel eyes” >;)
Just a fun little ‘what-if’ and obviously not cannon, unless the Vigilante encounters these guys in some fever dream - actually that sounds like a funny scenario; nearly dying of some wounds (the usual) and high on meds, their mind cooks up this little world and once it gets to the Eclipse part, they’re just so repelled they wake themselves from their delirium xD
I did these in quite a hurry so if I were to ever have another go, I’d probably make some adjustments, focus on a more unique design, age them up a little, and give them more likeness to their animatronic counterparts, but hey, still works as a proof of concept I guess :)
Have a nice day/night, Naff! <3
Forgive you??? I would only forgive you for making me fall in love! I am not normal about your human designs for the Sleuth Jester boys at all!!! I hope you know that! I adore them so much ahhh! They're everything to me and so cute and handsome and their eyes and the details of their faces eeee!!! I'm kicking my legs and laying on my bed like a middle school girl rn, you have no idea!
Oh. Ohhh and that Eclipse! Bossman indeed, whew! He should not look that good smoking a cigar; yet, I'm swooning! He looks so menacing even in human form! Guess some things never change, huh?
I have to say, I'm more inclined to the DCA as robots but your human designs are making me into a turncoat right now! The idea that the human boys are from a fever dream is perfect and Y/N waking themselves up because, ew, what is Eclipse doing here? Has me cackling!
Gosh, I love your art! I'm sorry to hear your brain isn't letting you sleep though, and I hope you take care of yourself and get what rest you can ♥ I hope you have a nice day/night, too, Piixel!
Thank you all these wonderful people for being apart of this and working so hard on it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @naffeclipse!!! Happy Birthday to you, one of our very favourite writers in this wholesome fandom!! ☀️🌙
You have gathered hundreds of people around your exciting stories, making us hold our breath each time we read a new chapter you post. You inspire each of us to create our own stories, drawings, animations, to bring something of our own to this fandom. And you helped us find new mutual friends within it, with whom we may sometimes chat for hours on end. You yourself have become one of said mutual friends and it is always such a pleasure to write to you!
You are simply fantastic and we all sincerely wish you the best Birthday that one could have, knowing that you bring so much joy and inspiration to others!
// All credits and more under the cut! Please, do take a look! :) //
Unfortunately, we could not invite all the people who appreciate your writings to participate in this collaboration, as much as we wanted to. This was our first time organizing something like this, and we needed to limit the number of people. But, Naff, I think you yourself know very well that there are hundreds of people in this fandom who sincerely love you and your work and that this art piece would be much bigger if all of them took part in it :)
And on that note, a huge thank you to everyone who agreed to participate! Regardless of busyness and time zone differences, we all worked together and were able to finish this wonderful art piece!

Quick note from Piixel:
This was honestly such a fun project to work on and to all my fellow collaborators, I have to give a massive thanks!!✨
You really made this project and this seriously couldn’t have come to fruition without your willingness, patience and seamless cooperation. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you guys so so much!!
And for you, dearest Naff,
I think this really shows how wonderful a community you’ve built around you! Not only with your masterful writing and charming stories, but also by being such a sweet, kind and giving person.
So here’s to you, Naff!
Happy Birthday, babe! 🥳🎉❤️❤️❤️
Hiii! Went back and finished the art from yesterday!
Qwille drew Fool playing music, so I was inspired to draw my Break a Leg!AU Sun dancing with YN! (used @piixelpaint 's take on BaL's reversible coat from her secret santa gift as a base to color this one! : O I still love it so much <3)
After a fun Halloween party, Pyxie finds herself lost in the woods. She trips and injures herself, worry is close if they can get home safe. Then two forest.. things. Find her. Yet they do not attack. All they see is a witch, wich they are loyal to. One that is injured... Of course they shall protect them.

A Secret Skeleton gift to @piixelpaint !!!
I had a lot of fun to design some original monster designs for Sun and Moon that would be dangerous but protective beans to your sona!
So, last cryptid post you mentioned how ya boys kept growing..
At this point, Meep, just go ahead and make them Monster Hunter elder dragon sized, you know you want to c:
This took way too long and sorry for being so cryptic about it ^^’, but now ya know why I so suddenly gained an interest in MH :>
Might post just the lineart of the design later for an unshrouded look, tho I know some things could be played around with more (proportion wise) to hit home that MH creature feel, but I’m no expert and you’re probably more familiar with that anyway <3 also they’re your boys and the design already lends itself handsomely to the MH-iffication ^^
Also also, a little Bonus doodle ;)
Kinda falling in love with the whole idea as a possible au.
A familiar, albeit slightly different hunter and monster/quarry dynamic, ey?
But again, your boys, ain’t gonna step on your toes.
Hope you’re having a lovely day! <333
P.S. I’m very sorry to interrupt the Apex Polarity brainrot, I’ll be following soon ^^'
I'm going absolutely INSANE over this!! PIIXEL!!! I'M BITING THIS AND YOU SO HARD RN!!!!
I loooove the Nergigante inspired horns and how every scale, horn and spike are just so much BIGGER! It all comes together so well! Love how you drew their face as well, everything is more defined and their huge bottom canines are just MWAH!
I can't look away from those beautifully drawn HANDS!! LOOK AT THE ONES ON THE GROUND AND ON THE ROCK BEHIND THEM!! THEY'RE SO PERFECT!!!!!
And the lighting?! GOSH!!!!
I also am just in love with the concept of them being an elder dragon! Honestly they could definitely be one. Elder dragons are so diverse and weird looking so one looking like this wouldn't be so strange at all! Also the hunter and monster dynamic here is so intriguing! If you'll let me, I'd like to explore this a little more~
Thank you Piixel! I'm just completely melted over this, I'm just a puddle, I love it so much! AAAAAA!!!!
Came here to give you a big big Thank You! for the very nice comment you left on the tag post because ahhhh you’re making me melt!! <33
That is super sweet and I hope you’re not too afraid to approach if you ever like, I'm always open for moot interaction, just may be slow to reply sometimes ^^'
I wish you a really lovely year with lots of creative energy and inspiration! <3*
<3! *clinging to you for dear life*
I'm just a bit too afraid to be intrusive or annoying so I barely speak to anyone directly, especially artists I follow. I'm usually really struggling to transform my emotional mumblings into understandable rational text xD Plus gotta check my grammar every time I post something or send a message because I regularly make a ton of mistakes. It's just overwhelming xD
But I'll do my best! Gotta let you know how much I appreciate you and every lovely person here :) Never thought I'd fall in love with DCA fandom that much but we have so many great artists I just can't help it xD
You are an inspiring artist and I wish you all the luck and inspiration too <3!
Naff, is this your man?

This will probably come as no surprise to you, but he has caught a vice grip on my ankle too and now won't let go. Naff, what have you done.. /pos xD
THAT'S MY MAN, PIIXEL!!!

What a wonderful orca!!! The little gift, ahhh! Big Eclipse energy right there, terrifying and thoughtful, all at once!
I would apologize for spreading the brain rot but I'm afraid I just can't! I am shaking your hand because same! He is chomping on my brain from sunrise to sunset!

Ok, so as of rn we are 92 ppl (now 110!!!!!) participating in the secret santa event!! I'm glad everyone liked the idea sm!
We have decided that, as we are a v small team running this, we'll set a limit of 110 ppl to keep things organized and fun for everyone! Hopefully y'all will understand ^^
In case anyone wants to make sure they are on the list, I'll add it under the cut (if you said "I'm in" but don't see yourself lmk and I'll add you!)
