"Thar she goes!" Got my friend PatricktheHenchman to do an art trade with me involving our starvies. Been wanting to draw his ocs for sometime, with this pic featuring his oc- Worcestershire, the slightly unhinged fisherwoman with a propensity for hunting down sea monsters. She's off facing the Quacken, her latest quarry.

My redesign hot take is that if you’re aiming to “desexualize” a female character, don’t make her boobs smaller. You’re implying a lot here.

I've been wondering this for a year or so. This is for no reason whatsoever. I'm just putting this poll up because they're very evenly matched from what my friends tell me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you have no idea who they are there's some parts from their artfight pages below the cut. (Along with their refs)
Watt
Maya "Watt" Bowen (or Watt as she prefers to be called) is a young lady who ended up with clock-work parts after an unfortunate accident down in the caves where she woke up. Although she's not too happy with the situation she's in, she tries not to think about it much and focuses on her newfound powers.
She can do things most clockworks can do, such as shooting lightning bolts or bulldozing through obstacles - the latter of which she can get incredibly reckless with. She often acts before she thinks. This sometimes leads to more problems than she's trying to fix.
She is great at getting around in the caves, especially clearing the ruins where she has little trouble moving around clockworks. She enjoys exploration with others, especially the more adventurous and daring kind. However, Watt also gets along with the more soft-spoken survivors as well. So long as they can tolerate her constant use of swearwords and affectionate punches/slaps to the shoulder.
Tumblr media

Winnoi
Winnoi (Or James by friends) is a charming radio host who took a deal with Maxwell during a life-or-death situation, this left him quite frail. He never elaborates on what exactly happened. But he will talk anyone's ears off about anything else. Aliens in particular. Back before he got kidnapped to the constant, he had a radio show talking all about them and all things paranormal. He believes they exist and monsters like nightmare creatures or gestalts are further proof of that to him.
He does fear them quite a lot - especially those with sharp teeth. He generally prefers to avoid combat and any form of danger if he can avoid it. Unlike Watt who he bickers with from time to time because of this.
James has a hard time making friends due to how obnoxious he can get. He has an awful habit of saying things he sees as being funny remarks when he's just insulting other people without realizing it (he tries his best to correct things if he's being called out on this). Survivors with a lot of tolerance and patience seem to get along with him.
By the way he has a pathetic 50 health so he's super fragile and dies a lot lol

It's about time this gets finished- A compilation of Windell's skins that took months to complete. So why did I spend so much time drawing back sides to his skins? It's the skulls, baybe. Its always the skulls. Me rambling about design notes under the cut- It's Very Long.
Nostalgic Windell's design is in part, made to contrast regular Windell's appearance. Windell wears blue and Nostalgic Windell wore a brown jacket.
Tumblr media
This is what he wore in his last day on earth, right before he gets yoinked to the Constant. He has a festive look as he disappeared during a trip to a carnival. ------ Windell's Guest of Honour was designed really early on, along with his Survivor and Triumphant. Which was around 2017ish.
Tumblr media
GoH Windell never deviated much from his oldest design, I didn't really put much thought on his outfit other than 'Windell, but fancy'. He loves dolling up people but he's not really a fan of partiying himself, that's why he looked really sad here. ---- The Survivor skin was... It was a mess trying to make it not at all cluttered.
Tumblr media
I loved the idea of him looking stitched up and sporting a stubble along with other accessories, but I decided to drop that in his more recent designs because idk, I just personally didn't like how he looked in my new style. I'm just very uncertain with this design in general. The stitched pants was something I think is neat ig. ----- Roseate Windell went through a lot of changes because I didn't know what to do with him for a while??
Tumblr media
My main problem with his earlier deisgns was I was trying to make him feel 'distinct' like a proper skin from regular Windell. And I just struggle to give him a hairstyle that is not only not a pain to draw every time but also... actually nice to look at??.
I hit that sweet spot in his 2022 design and as MUCH as i LOVE his tentacle-like, spiny coat, it just doesn't look good when I imagine them as dst sprites. (It's not like I'm actually gonna make sprites of this skin but making sprites for his mod made me understand dst's design conventions(?) a bit more??)idk.
Roseate went from 'ew he looks really boring to me' to 'omg a personal fave'.
Tumblr media
Also he looks like this without his extra coat ----- Gladiator Windell... Fun fact: His armor is heavily inspired by Killer Queen from JJBA.
Tumblr media
It really shows in this old portrait pic. Simplifying his design was painful but it had to happen. I had no idea how to color him back when I first designed him so I just did the easy thing and colored him with Windell's existing palette. I made him grey in his final redesign because again, I didn't want him to look too similar to his usual look, but I doooo think the blue looks better on him ngl... -----
I love Snowfallen Windell (Even if his hair will give me grief one day) He took some inspiration from Elsa frozen.
Tumblr media
Though, he did have an older look. As with most of my 2020 designs, as much as I love the older version, his hair just doesn't look like a separate skin. Hence he changed radically in his redesign. The final design is in a way, a fusion between the older designs. ----- Contender Windell is a case of me designing a skin and ending up with a suit. As much as I adore suits, they can begin to look same-y after a while.
Tumblr media
I watched some WWE as a kid and I always found it hillarious to see suited people in the ring. Windell's first design here references that. Also there's the steel chair meme. I like the concept but he looked really plain next to the other contender ppl when I drew him fr. The 2022 design is the result of trying to fit him in with the others and I think he looked great. His final design didn't change much apart from the hair to further make him different from Windell's og hair. ----- Magmatic Windell The Magmatic skin set itself is a bit of a mess when it comes to theming. So I just took reoccuring design features and mashed them together for this.
Tumblr media
Fire nation fashion, gold(?) accessories and flre-like hair. There's little thought involved in the process. Though, the addition of the red tattoo-like markings on Windell made him better to look at ig. I dare say, this design warmed up to me. ----- So many horror icons... but which one would Windell embody? His Hallowed Nights is the Corpse Bride (but genderbent) and I had fun with this one.
Tumblr media
I know, I know this is yet another suit, but he has enough details to offset that. For a dash of irony, he's supposed to have drowned. :) -----
Windell is Irish (Welll, Irish-American to be specific) This is all the notes you'll need-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His final design have better colors :D ----- I decided to go by a theme among my own ocs with the Merrymaker skins based on A Christmas Carol, since Maxwell is clearly Scrooge. Merrymaker Windell is another one of my personal favorites-
Tumblr media
He's supposed to be the Christmas Ghost of the Past. ----- Windell used to have a proposed mechanic where each skin has several designs and they get cycled every time he gets ressurected through a certain way.
Tumblr media
Victorian Windell's final design is heavily based on a particular alt of his og victorian design that I liked more. I just added stuff to make him look cooler :B ----- There is little in the way of customization in the Line Cook set. But whatever, he still gets a skull on the back of the fit.
Tumblr media
His frock used to be green too. ----- His Halloween Costume is of a tentacle. His favorite mob.
Tumblr media
I made his redesign also akin to a little gnome/witch. Also someone called him Gargamel once and that makes me smile to this day -----
Swashbuckler Windell already existed long before Klei released the set. He was part of a pirate au and he's supposed to be a pirate hunter.
Tumblr media
So ig he became canon when Klei decided to make that set. His cape had to go though. ;-; His final design was also partly inspired by P from Lies of P. ----- Moonbound Windell was a challenge to design as he's supposed to bounce off from his Tri design. This skin is supposed to be everything that Tri isn't and so his colors will have to be mainly white and I had to discard my first design of him
Tumblr media
I loved WX's and Webber's moonbound designs so that also bled onto Windell's. As Triumphant Windell is calm yet menacing, Moonbound Windell is an angrier Windell. Alter whispered forbodden knowledge onto him and that only Pissed Him Off. ----- Maquerader Windell is heavily based on the costumes they wore in Cats (The Broadway one). Particularly Mr. Mistoffelees. I hated doing his lineart, but coloring really endeared him to me. Now, he's also very much beloved. ----- So Klei releases either a Nostalgic skin or a skin that's really out there with it's theming whenever a character refresh happens. This is what Windell would have in that case- Windell's refresh skin would be themed around being a sailor, inspired by Ishmael from Moby Dick. It's kinda a what-if as well. What if Windell decided to confront his fear of the ocean head on, becoming a sailor and joining a group of whalers. He still hyperfixates on the ocean as he does in canon. Also here's an alt design for this particular skin-
Tumblr media
----- And last but not the least- Triumphant Windell OH BOY. Man has history- Way before Klei unveiled the triumphants, I had this idea for a really old rp where Windell decides to join the shadows like Maxwell as Their spy in exchange for shadowy powers and stuff. But the twist is, he Looks Like Everyone else to blend in better. I loved the idea, but then when the triumphants came around. Windell just looked so plain next to them and so I drew this doodle and that was before I became inactive in the fandom until 2020.
Tumblr media
His 2020 incarnation was from a joke I made about Windell's 'real' triumphant was this jock who is also a bully and he has an eldritch car that he uses to run over ppl in the Constant. Also he's voiced by Bo Burnham :B Shortly after that I released his non-joke Triumphant design, which was heavily based on his 2017 version. He also can turn into an eldritch creature made of needles and yarn. He's called The Yarn Man because of this. More on Yarn Man- (cw: there is body horror) My problem with Yarn Man is, his hair just changes in every drawing because I didn't know how to properly draw it. Until his 2023 version. _____ THERE YOU GO. THE WINDELL SKIN LORE.
