Re: Dante's Redesign

Guess who finally settled on a look! Behold!

Some notes: I ended up keeping the pants and shoes, but I changed up his shirt and cloak. Then, per help of Cookiecat and Mini, I gave him a rattail and am now theming him red! The only purple that stays behind are his eyes.

I gotta make a new icon and header real bad xD

[we-all-fall-underground]

Coming to you straight from Drama's art archive! It's:

A Dante Healy redesign~!

Look, we're all really attached to this design. I know this, because it was so freaking hard to make him look a certain way after changing up his lore. There's something about this look of Dante that screams: big nerd loser who's cynical towards others but takes his potion study very seriously and thinks he's better than you. Also he baby. It's confirmed:

BUT

Like I said, I changed his lore. And because I've waited too long because I didn't want to spoil anything, I'm gonna spill all the beans. So here we go, Dante's updated lore and why I'm changing his design. Please continue to the read more.

Old Dante

So, this is the beloved iconic look of Dante:

Very basic bare bones outfit, in fact, it was from his Undertale days. The purple became so attached, I decided to keep his old look into the fandomless world. He was supposed to be a potioneer/spell caster in this world, becoming the first human to control magic. Which is a VITAL story anchor to what motivates him and why he helps the other teens in the world of magic. He was supposed to be able to "create" a new form of magic, which I dubbed witchcraft. But like, it was way too obscure. So I began thinking about magic in the world, and wanted to take a different approach to how Dante discovers magic, and how could he replicate it for other humans to follow in his path, but also be more taboo.

So science inclined Dante? Scrapped. Going in the bin. I want ghostly, gloomy, magical history geek Dante. But... that look was hard to get. And ultimately, I'm still not satisfied with the look.

And so, I got inspiration from Chongyun from Genshin Impact, who's an exorcist. I had made an entire magic category that has to do with ghosts, undead, exorcists, and the like. I also have included things from Avatar the Last Airbender, where spirits used to possess people and completely change them when the first avatar was around. So long story short, I wanted Dante to have that ghostly look, and that lead to completely changing how he interacted with magic.

New Dante

But some key features of note: I was going to remove his glasses. It gave too much anime nerd vibe, and not cool mysterious vibe. Funny cuz I've drawn "cool Dante" without glasses too before.

Also, he NEEDED to have two accessories that would serve to be story telling design elements. See, Dante is now cursed. He was big on magical artifacts, collecting a ton and messing around with them to figure out what gave them their magical properties. Lo and behold, one of those were cursed, and contained a powerful Mi'shynayim spirit. It had tried almost immediately to take over Dante's body- again humans can't control magic, so he would've gone insane- but Dante was quick to grab multiple blessed/holy artifacts he collected. It tamed the spirit. Now usually, when a human gets possessed by magic, where it overtakes their body and begins to change them (like atla), they call upon exorcists and completely expell the spirit and magic. But Dante realized in that instant the balance that was in his control now. There would be several more times he would attempt control. But eventually his family found out about this and disowned him, because he refused to get exorcised. So that's how he ends up at the group home.

I didn't know exactly what to make the cursed item, but I knew the blessed object he'd keep on him to help tame the spirit would be a bracelet. And eventually, I figured the cursed object had to also stay on him, so that he could easily access it. And then just now, I took another crack into redesigning Dante, and we get this:

I might still change the cursed object because only now am I realizing it looks a little... like a vagina. But I want it to be something big enough to fit in his palm, but flat enough to punch a hole through so he could wear it as a necklace.

But also!!! He's now going to be tall! Tall boi! I don't know how much taller compared to the other tall boys, but I wanted that lanky vibe as well. Oh!!! And I also changed his hair, because again, it was too iconic and connected to the nerd vibe. But hey, who knows if I'll be satisfied with this as well.

With this change, it also changes the way Dante and Kaipo learn about magic together, and thus makes it much more shocking as to why Kaipo can cast spells every now and then. Because it's no longer because Dante has been teaching them spells; Dante is still trying to learn them on his own. Perhaps the spirit is exuding a magical aura, affecting the others?? Who knows~? :)

✨for dante?

✨ - How does your character navigate social cliques or groups in school? Are they part of a specific crowd or more of a lone wolf?

Dante tries his best to avoid some of the more popular groups that are just full of tense fake relationships and under the table backtalk. If that labels him an outcast, so be it. Though, while he does (secretly) associate himself with the other theater kids, even still he's more of a "lone wolf" type.

📸 for Edgar?

📸 -  If your character was to be remembered by a single quote or caption in the yearbook, what would it be?

"My main goal is to blow up and act like I don't know nobody." From that one vine by Riff Raff xD

Jacky 🪩

🪩 - What is your characters’ opinions on school events (prom, spirit week, homecoming)?

Jacky is a not-so-secret spirit week fan, and anything sports related. Sometimes the classes have *cough under the desk bets cough*, so Jacky loves to make it a point that she'll dress up big time AND put money down. But damn if she doesn't have fun with it too.

However, she does secretly want to attend school dances and the likes. No one would ever guess it by the way she talks about them though, saying that the dresses girls wear are way too much, and that dancing is awkward. And most guys are scared to approach her.

📦 for pacifica

📦 - What would your character’s locker look like? What is inside it?

I may be a neat freak when it comes to drawing, but don't be fooled: Pacifica keeps a messy locker. She'll toss all her stuff into it: class textbooks, her shoes, clothes she had to change out of because of dress code, failed tests, and food wrappers. She only really cares to keep her backpack and jacket hung up, because she doesn't want to bother with a torn backpack or dirty her favorite jacket.

I had seen a prompt that said "if someone was impersonating your oc, what would friends/family ask them to do to prove it was them?"

And I can just imagine like, Pacifica and Kaipo doing impressions of the others, and eventually everyone join in.

Pacifica would puff out her chest, stand tall, and clasp Kaipo by the shoulder saying "Good work kid. I'm real proud of ya." And no one's able to guess who of the group acts like that, asking "Is that someone's dad?!" And then she's all "What- it's Finnick!" Then they all "ooooh" in realization.

And Orabella would be like "well he does kinda act like a dad"

To which Finnick is all "Wha-! But I'm barely that much older than you guys."

And Pacifica hits back with "well you act like you're 20"

And then he cries in a corner because he's two years off from 20, and that they already see him as old, meanwhile Gen is patting his back solemnly.
