Widget the Tech Portal Master

I've always wanted to design a nonhuman Portal Master OC, and so I decided to repurpose one of my older Skylanders OCs into a Portal Master while also redesigning her

Widget is a Kobold who originally came from a distant world known as Talathus, whose technology and architecture is similar to that of Skylands. Widget came to Skylands after investigating an interdimensional portal known as the Realm Gate, which is also the last standing remnant of a now extinct species from her homeworld.

Much like other Kobolds of her home, Widget is very tech savvy. She built her mechanical arm, monocle, and staff from scrapped Arkeyan parts she gathered from the Rampant Ruins.

Some factoids about her:

She's good friends with Mags and Sharpfin and often works with them

She sometimes will repair the armor and/or machinery of Tech Skylanders who have been injured in battle.

She often works with Sharpfin and his pit crew on repairing the SuperChargers' vehicles when they are damaged from battle.

Her favorite Skylander to work with is Drobot, and the two often get along well with each other.

New designs just dropped.

Also the story is now under some construction so changes to the blog will eventually come as I figure out what to do with these blorbos.

1 and 18 for Caitlyn and Baccus.

omg hi tabby :3

I ended up going a little nuts so I'm putting this under a read-more

Caitlyn:

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

I don’t even really remember designing Caitlyn, since she’s been around since I first started playing Skylanders as a kid. For certain her name was set in stone immediately, as I don’t usually go back and forth with names, except in very rare cases, but her design and backstory have changed pretty significantly over the years.

The original version of the Big Fic I wanted to do for Skylanders was a very typical story for the time: 10 possible Portal Masters from Earth are summoned to Skylands and have magic high school drama, but Caitlyn was meant to be the one closest Eon as a sort of “chief apprentice”/the 11th Portal Master and - shock horror - was an enormous late-stage villain. I hated this draft (even as a child!) because I just didn’t like most of the characters I was making, but as I’ve gotten older I realize that the source of Caitlyn’s motive in that first draft was a lot more compelling if she was played as a hero. 

But her name was always consistent. 

What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?

Caitlyn’s greatest strength and weakness is identical: her unwavering faith in the innate goodness of people. Sometimes, this is a great thing and she’ll find an ally in strange packaging, but other times it’ll get her into a serious amount of trouble that she may not be able to escape on her own.

That being said, I’ve had Caitlyn as an OC for so long that I don’t really have big breakthroughs with her anymore. The most I’ll get these days is parallels she has to other, newer OCs and Skylanders. 

Bacchus:

What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?

Bacchus was originally supposed to be a stock standard self-insert I could play with, so I remember making the conscious choices of leaving his backstory blank, aligning him with Fire (because apparently I’m allergic to writing a self-insert without bringing Fire into it), giving him my ideal body, and slapping my name on him because at the time I was still testing the waters with being called Sam. 

But then I drew that goddamn picture of him and Caitlyn together, then made the realization that he was going to outgrow what was originally just supposed to be a fun doodle. In some way too, seeing him with Caitlyn, a character I made as an unhappy girl trying to connect with whatever shred of femininity I could love, made me realize that I have grown up.

So his appearance has stayed the same, but his purpose has changed significantly.

What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?

Bacchus is a very straightforward character with very little left to discover about him, but one of the last things I did settle with was his sense of justice and purpose, which are rather important parts of a person’s self-concept. He knows he is a criminal, so when he is caught, he has no qualms about being punished. That’s who he is, and that’s how society will punish him. But when he discovers his portal magic, suddenly nothing goes to plan, and he’s stuck between two very different states of being. 

Being (perceived) a threat is comfortable to him, being (perceived) a symbol of hope is so deeply unsettling that he resists any change like a wild animal.

Been working on a Portal Master character: Janis!

Janis didn’t do much with her life, so she gonna make her afterlife mean something!

…Eh, maybe later.

As a newly reborn portal master, she really has no clue what she’s doing but her “go with the flow” attitude makes her a great host of de-stress meditation sessions at the academy (freshly brewed herbal tea provided!), a job that may or may not just be Eon’s way of keeping an eye on her close to home. Either way her knowledge on life and death is sure to come in handy, if she can take the time out of her busy schedule of sleeping, dozing and napping to fit you in.

Playing around in greyscale on a sketch and got too attached to the drawing.

Azrael wants to let you know that he really doesn't appreciate that joke you said about rich people.

HI CALLING SKYLANDERS TUMBLR

Nothing all that big (maybe)

I just wanna hear about other people’s portal master OCs!! How did they arrive in Skylands (if they aren’t originally from there)? What are they like? Who are their friends and family (if they have any)? Who is their Skylander companion if they have one?

Go as apeshit crazy as you want. This is a no shame scream about your OCs space. Please tell me about your children ;-; (I’ll post mine soon! Promise ^^;;)

[flunky-robots]

Bonus goofy Lil Dude Janis <3

[turquoisephoenix]

Drawing Azrael is hard because it’s always a balancing act between making him look like a spoiled rich brat that while also making it really, really apparent that he’s just a stressed out young adult who was in way over his head and was really messed up by his terrible upbringing.

Don’t let the mustache fool you, he’s currently studying for his college classes. (and he’s going to cry if he gets a B+ in any of them)
