Had a fun little idea for a design challenge for myself of "If I'd just been given a basic description of the Hilda characters, but I'd known what their personalities were like, what would I imagine they looked like?"

David somehow stayed almost the exact same in my brain

This was a lot of fun to think about akdjsk

Perhaps I'll dabble w/ some of the other characters later

It's finally done! My backers wanted me to draw a monster chef - and at long last, she's done!

because I'm me, I of course went a little bit overboard

Little guy I did for RayneKloud’s six hour character design contest for the prompt food. I actually whipped this bad boy out in just under five hour.

Text on the page is pasted under the cut for easy reading.

Contrary to their name the Cherry Fish is a semi aquatic arthropod found living in small bodies of freshwater. They are named after cherry fruits due to their strong resemblance and, most notably, how they are always found in pairs.

The two individuals are connected by a strong membrane protruding from the backs of their heads. Labs have found that the individuals share dna make up yet have individual brains. When studied, it is reported the two act as individuals, even demonstrating different personalities. Fossil records indicate they have been born in pairs exclusively as far back as 200 million years ago yet there is no evidence to why they evolved this way. If the membrane is severed both will die and if one dies the other will as well.

Cherry fish live in large numbers of about 20 to as large as 50 pairs. They are highly social, often seeming to pick favorite individuals and behaving as if distressed in groups smaller than 10 pairs. They are a monogamous species which mate for life. On average they lay 1-4 eggs and will mate only once or twice throughout their lifespan. Once hatched the parents and entire group of cherry fish will care for the babies. As children they have a green colour and will age into a more “ripe” red.

They are quick insectivores who feed in the early morning and evening. Through the day they float on the surface of the water with their gills submerged soaking up the sun and at night dive underwater and bury in mud to sleep. Fish and other predators know to not try and eat them as they are poisonous.

For the animal mix, maybe a hare and a moth (luna moth)

Star Snatcher

Considered a pest among the other Celestial Beings as it cunningly steals stars from their skies. The deity's garden of universe gets disrupted... and replacing the stars is a chore, even for the infinite beings.

Every once in awhile, the Celestial Beings organize a hunt and a chase for the Star Snatcher. The cosmic moth-hare is forced to flee, each strike of the godly beings ringing from the stars the fall out of its wings: the pocket universe of collected stars. They do so until the Snatcher's form is reduced to smaller and smaller, wings perishing with each hit... and then the chased one is forced into hiding.

The hunt is then over for the time being. Until, once again, Star Snatcher tries again, polishing its cunning mind even more for the next round of thievery. The cycles repeat~

When chased, the moth-hare appears like a speeding comet across the sky. Likewise, the when hit and dropping them, it looks like a meteor shower.

Pocket size form is only for special occasions, when wanting to hide from the eyes of immortals among the commoners for few years, until the coast is clear again.

---

This one is with a bit more effort (and time to think it through ahaha) because it's a gift character for @sputnstuff! I hope you like it!

Personal Halloween Character Design Challenge - Slashertown

Time to reveal what I've been doing for Halloween/Spooktober!

Basically a personal character design challenge, inspired by my Tiger vs Slasher Villain post!

The gist is that it's set in a town that's basically a magnet for various kinds of horror villain archetypes, ESPECIALLY Slashers... hence its Name.

The Leads: The main protags of the challenge/setting.

Linda Rivera - A young woman of Spanish-American descent, known equally for both her stubborness and her empathy, and a strong, strong survival instinct. She's the been the "Final Girl" for most of her life, be it as a survivor of a literal cult war when she was a kid to Prom night when she was a teen. She cosplays and paints minis for a living, and is genuinely curious about what's REALLY going on in Slashertown.

Rodney "The Ripper" Rackham. Filling in for the unstoppable masked slasher villain ala Jason and Michael Myers, Rodney was once just a humble shop student with an interest in metallurgy and blacksmithing, until one day a trip to the woods went terribly wrong. For years he was the town's most famous slasher, targeting repairshops and others indiscriminately... nowadays he's more famous for another thing -killing other slashers.

Animal Companions: Filling in for the Animal guide/voice of wisdom, ala Coraline

Peggy Thirteen is Linda's cat. A crafty and wiley critter than seems to know just about every nook and cranny in town. Unusually intelligent for a cat, and remarkably obedient when Linda says to "stay put". There's more to her than meets the eye, as shown with her smug face.

Maharaja is the town celebrity Tiger, having been the one to save Linda from a slasher known as "Henry the Hatchet" a few years ago. Unbelievably strong, and much like Peggy, seems to be far more intelligent than what a big cat should be. Linda certainly suspects something.

Cannibal Archetypes: Self explanatory

Marlowe Magritte: Filling in for the Hannibal Lecter side of the cannibal villain, with a dash of Slowik from The Menu, he's the owner of the most famous restaurant in town. His food is to die for, as certain patrons disappeared in his business, just infrequent enough that no one suspects anything. Sure, while having liver with a nice chianti is nice, what he's REALLY after are memories and experiences. THAT to him, is what makes a true experience.

Merle "The Man Ogre" Mason: The Hills have Eyes meets Leatherface, Merle was a man exposed to chemicals during the end of World War 2 and became a mutant... THEN the magics of the town turned him into a cannibalistic monster, lurking about the hills just outside of town. Suprisingly articulate despite his looks!

Lethal Ladies: Because one can never go wrong with more female slasher villains!

Heather Berry lost her mind when she couldn't be Queen of High School Land, and thus took it out on some students, before mysteriously dissapearing after a fight with eternal Final Girl Linda. Now she's back, as Haley Babbit, successful business women with great PR... but beneath the facade, is still the same bloodthirsty Heather!

Liv Malone - SHE FOLLOWS. Slowly. Very slowly. Sure, she's completely unrelenting in her need to dispatch someone, but man oh-man is she SLOW. A simple shove is usually all that's needed to stop her from following you.

Killer Clowns: And this time, they're a family!

Marco the Clown and Minnie the Mime are a brother sister team that only wants to entertain you with their (occasionally lethal) shows! Please laugh at Marco's jokes and take Minnie's Art seriously, they get uspet if you don't!

Jethro the Jester is their grandfather, and leader of the group, simply known as The Troupe. One of the most powerful entities in town, his shows and acts seem to defy physics itself, and he'll always make sure that you leave the show a new person!

Terrible Toys: Three different flavors of violent toy!

Tricky the Ragdoll - Guardian of all children in town, much like Gamera, just one that's VERY open to lethal force when he sees a kid in trouble. Is actually quite helpful to them, no strings (ha!) attatched, offering blankets, food and subtly guiding kids to reunite with their parents if they ever get lost.

Mrs. Olivia - An overpossessive ghost of a woman from the 40s stuck in a porcelain doll. She'll do ANYTHING to protect her "poppets". ANYTHING. She is awoken whenever someone cleans up her toy body.

The Immolator - The most overtly Chucky-like of the bunch, with a dash of Small Soldiers. A psychotic, misanthropic inmate that winded up possessing the toy of a 90s action figure, he'll be more than happy to murder any meatbags in his sights... so long as he has batteries. The REAL danger is that, when dormant, he can imitate ANY voice possible, subtly suggesting you to really, REALLY give him those batteries!

Oceanic Killers: Because you gotta have a Jaws reference!

Big Bertha and Finn are a Great White Shark and Dolphin duo, that work together to un-alive silly and stupid hairless apes. Big Bertha LOVES the taste of humans, and would go out of her way to find 'em, but usually it's Finn that calls the shots. Any human that bothers him or makes fun of him, either gets a taste of his rostrum, or he sends Bertha to do the dirty work.

Primeval Horrors: Because everything's better with dinosaurs!

The Great One and his Flock: Combining both Jurassic Park and Hitchcock's the Birds, the Great One is a colossal, fifteen ton Tyrannosaurus rex, and is the oldest entity in town, and by far one of the most powerful. So powerful, that no slasher dares to enter his territory (which is the Slashertown Museum of Natural History). The birds of Slashertown are his eyes and ears, agents of his will, and those that mess with 'em don't tend to live to see the next sunrise. It's also a foolish thing to lay a hand on his skeleton, as the paleontologists who worship him like a god like to remind visitors. All those that have done so, either disappear (with the only remains being bloodied claw marks) or become skeletons stripped down to the bone.

Another one of my entires for raynekloud ‘s six hour character design contest, based on the prompt mythology.

Above is the final design that I did with an extra two hours. The version which was done in the six hours and entered is under the cut.

Took most of my inspiration from Cerberus, the oni and various gods of war. And cause I hate myself I guess I went with a highly detailed line style based partly off old illustrations of mythological creatures but mostly based on the style of H.R. Giger.

Si Keakeav is a high ranked Lāvian, one of the rulers of the five circles. It is a take on a god of war as it preys on the treacherous and violent. Raised from the ground at the same time as the oldest gods it is constructed of flesh, bile, circuitry and machines. It ranks at the same level as other circle rulers, under only Lāv but above other Si rank individuals.

I know you probably have a ton of requests already, but I thought of this and I thought I’d be interesting. How about an angelic butterfly/moth? And I’m not talking “fluffy wing halo uwu” angelic; I’m talking biblically accurate angels here. Look one up if you need a reference; they’re pretty freaky-looking. They have SO many eyes, you don’t even know.

Brazen Watcher

Automated Soul Totem that lingers in the air near the holy grounds. Bug made idol that watches and serves its creators who wish to keep their strong order in check.

Hard to escape its eye's detectors and watchful but graceful float. It meets intruders with bell rings that alerts the keepers of the order. The echoes of the bell can stun intruders as well.

In combat, keepers are known to strike it to replenish soul and prepare more spells for combat.

(shape vaguely based off of a plume moth)

---

If interested in adopting it for 10$ (or more), please contact me via DM! If there is no response in the next three days, I will set it up on ko-fi for adoption.

Now, I also want to explain why I took a slightly different direction with the design:

I remembered awhile back seeing a post explaining why the term "biblically accurate angel" is an issue with the description that is also in this ask

I found several posts when googling and I think it was this one that I remember seeing around (but I also found this reddit post and this other tumblr post)

Given I have never read any religious book in my life and that I am not too familiar with angels in general outside of pop culture references, I figured just making the design religious-esque would be enough and not go too crazy with what seems to be not-angel (but messengers?) horror like descriptions of them

Despite this, I appreciate the ask! It was a fun design~ (also a note for the asker: I do have the axolotl+psychedelic ask still in the inbox but unfortunately I didn't had any good ideas for it yet outside of one concept but if I will see if I'll go back to it. I hope this is alright for now!)

I do wanna do these digitally at some point but for now it’s traditional sketches.

We got a lovely… butcher mouse and her raccoon cook girlfriend :D

Also I couldn’t decide if doing animals or humans or a mix or something.
