I made a character submission for a comic she is making called misfits in toyland. @zalCryptid

[gargusscp]

Obviously the toyfolk cast of @zal-cryptid's Misfits in Toyland have a full range of expression available, being as they're both magically-animate playthings not bound by the usual limitations of felt and plastic, and feature in a visual medium that requires easily-read acting to emotionally function. This said, I'm thinking some about the possibility toyfolk might need to learn physical overacting as second nature in order to properly express themselves.

The fine nuances you get from typical microexpressions are gone when transferred onto a new material lacking traditional muscles and nerves driving their movement. A painted porcelain face can only slide its features about a two-dimensional plane. Plastic molds don't twitch and wrinkle very well. Felt folds upon and rubs against itself in weird ways even when one doesn't MEAN to shift the look on their face. If you furrow your brow, quirk your lip, twitch your eye, adjust your neck, any of it with the small movements natural to a flesh and blood body, the action might very easily get lost in your materials' limitations.

So they've gotta go big to make their feelings known. Bug their eyes harder, open their mouths wider, throw their limbs and neck and back into expressions that wouldn't otherwise require full physical movement. Everything's gotta be the work of a giant ham milking an invisible cow to make sure the other party gets what's running through your head. Like amateur community theater actors shoved onstage at the most prestigious opera house in the land and drawing on their worst instincts to ensure the cheap seats two-hundred feet away can see and hear clear as life.

It's a bit of a frightening prospect, and makes quite a few of them feel stupid, but so many of them spent so much time hiding from themselves that they wound up here in Toyland. Is going big, loud, and excessively honest not part of the healing process? They can act natural when they're better.

Inspired by my friend Dave Fullmusicbard, I decided to transfigure two of my own* freaks into toys for their various problems and issues. They are a package deal, do not separate.

(Oc au for @zal-cryptid ‘s webcomic Misfits In Toyland. It is a very good webcomic.)

*terunosuke miyamoto is basically my character at this point don’t @ me

DP x DC: Danny x Danny

So, sometimes I just like to imagine ridiculous pairing and then I have a moment that makes me go "actually..."

So Danny Fenton aka Danny Phantom(he/him) x Danny the Street(they/them)

If you're not familiar with Danny the Street, they are a literal teleporting street that's essentially a gay neighborhood. They are a safe space for people who don't fit into mainstream society, and is a big ally of the queer community...

(art by Zal-Cryptid)

So, a street that is a safe haven for weirdos AND the queer community... Kind of the perfect place for a half ghost boy being hunted by the government... especially since trans Danny is a popular head-canon... and the fact they share the same name is kind of funny...

Damn it, do I now ship Danny and Danny the Street together?

Just imagine them talking to each other Danny the Street using TVs and signs and Danny just talking out loud as he works through so trauma and bonds with them over coffee...

and just the slight tragedy that is not being able to hold your lover's hand but at the same time the romance of being able to feel your lover's affection for you all around because they are literally all around you

Idk there's just something kind of unhinged yet sweet about the whole thing

i had the delight of drawing @zal-cryptid's characters Andre and Maria. thank you so much for commissioning me!

[suzyqueue4u]

There's a new Gabe in town.

What's Gabe in for? I sense it's hacking related but it must be worse than that to have the Krampus remove him from society lol

You'd would be right! I'll share more about that fateful evening in the future, but for now, enjoy human!Gabe!

Wanted draw a character I had an idea of after reading the talented @zal-cryptid's Misfits in Toyland webcomic.

Marcus:

Marcus was always bad, since he was young he always got in trouble, caused fights throughout his life and always blamed his twin brother Michael for it, as a child he got good at impersonating his twin, and growing up he became perfect at it. Around adulthood, Marcus's actions got worse, from small pranks and lies to full fledged aggravated assault and finally even murder, his victims were mostly women, those he was stronger than, often luring them to their demise, like lambs to the slaughter. So when the police finally caught Marcus is was easy for Krampus to find him and take him to Toyland, transformed into a female sheep doll to make him feel as those women did. However, this isn't Marcus, this is his twin Michael, the exact opposite of Marcus in every way besides their appearance, he was kind and caring but always pinned for his brother's actions, eventually leading to his arrest under the belief he was Marcus, and then taken by Krampus leaving Michael in a punishment he didn't deserve.
