Horrortale Neue Rough Draft

Fellswap Neue Rough Draft

For context, I’m referring to the Fellswap Gold AU.

Fellswap Neue’s name is “Avenir”.

Here is the rough draft:

He’s based off the Valais Blackneck Goat.

He’s taller and a bit lankier than Neue, however the horns he has are fake. His situation is a bit similar to Roman (Underfell Neue).

Dusttale Neue Rough Draft

Dust Neue’s name is “Vani”.

Here is the rough draft:

She is based off the Orobica Goat.

She’s a bit shorter than Neue, and I based her hair off the beta/pilot design of Luz from Owl House.

I know that realistically, she would not exist in this universe (for obvious reasons), but basically she lives because of magic plot armor which I’ll explain on her character sheet.

Underkeep Neue Rough Draft

This variant’s name is “Quire”.

Here is the rough draft:

He is based off the Danish Landrace Goat.

He is a bit shorter than Century and Avenir.

*Note: I might make comics or short stories with these characters, mainly to build character and relationships*

Poppy Playtime OCs Because Why Not (This is just more for fun)

After watching the play through of Chapter 4 & seeing the amount of fanart (both canon & OCs), I thought it would be fun to come up with some possible concepts for some OCs.

Might draw them, might not, I’m not sure yet.

Anyway below are the concepts:

Toys

Smiling/Nightmare Critter

After the scandal & recall of the Catnap Plushies, Playtime Co tried to create a new character to take Catnap’s place in the Smiling Critters Cast. Wanting to keep the same theme of “a good night’s sleep”, Playtime Co decided to base the design off the concept of “counting sheep”.

The character would be a sheep with white wool & black limbs, & wears a cloud shaped pendant with “Zs” in it or a pillow shaped pendant. They also had a chamomile scent.

They would have been named “Sleepy Sheepy”. However, it never made past the review period due to timing & negative ties to Catnap who both are associated with sleep, & fear that another scandal could occur from this.

This design was then used to create “Baba Chops”: inverted the colors, & changed their personality & along with changing their scent to Anise; who is part of a new line of characters called the Nightmare Critters.

Due to a “special request” from an anonymous source, the concept of Sleepy was altered. The character was changed to be a white lamb wearing a bell shaped pendant, but still kept the chamomile scent.

The character was named “Mary Little” & was used as a limited edition toy to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. They also made a special appearance in the cartoon for the same reason.

Their personality was described to be very curious & a bit naive. They wanted to be friends with everyone & for everyone to feel included. They would’ve act as a peacemaker or negotiator between the Smiling Critters & Nightmare Critters. In the show, they only had one major appearance & would then only appear a couple of times afterwards before the cartoon was discontinued.

Due to them being a limited edition toy, there was only a handful of them produced & was only available during the year 1991. A Bigger Body was never created due to the same reasons above, but there were plans of one if the Catnap Bigger Body became “uncooperative”.

The living toy experiments were also conducted on the plushies as well, but were less in number. After the Hour of Joy, most of the plushies were killed & eaten, with the exception of those that followed Catnap. There was also just one that took refuge in Safe Haven.

Humans

Past Employee: Mary Sawyer

Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. Wanting to grow closer to her father, she tried to gain an internship at Playtime Co.

After seeing her potential, Dr. Sawyer put in a request, & pulled some strings, to give her permission to work with him on the living toys experiments & the Bigger Body Initiative.

However, after seeing the experiments & treatment of the toys, Mary was horrified & wanted to leave. But due to fear of being “taken care of”, she continued to work alongside Dr. Sawyer to secretly gather evidence.

During the Hour of Joy, Mary was out doing an “errand” for the other scientists. When she came back, she saw the aftermath & fled immediately.

10 years later, she returns back to Playtime Co to figure out what happened & to see what happened to the toy & BBI experiments.

-or-

Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. When she was younger, she was often brought to Playtime Co with her father & was used to test the experiments’ reaction to children.

The toys were quite fond of Mary due to her kind-hearted nature & gentle approach. She was often around the Nightmare Critters, who were very affectionate & friendly towards her after she would give them snacks.

After Dr. Sawyer was turned into the Doctor, Mary was sent to live with other relatives & hasn’t been back to Playing Co since.

She would constantly ask about her father & “friends”, but many of the relatives would just change the subject or say they didn’t know what she was talking about. This caused Mary to doubt her memory & the time she was at Playtime Co.

10 years after the Hour of Joy, Mary would run away from her home & return to Playtime Co to find her father & “friends”. However, she only found a factory filled with starved toys & notes written on vhs tapes.

Past Employee: Samuel Barnes

Samuel was the older brother of Kevin Barnes. They were separated, with Sam going to live with his parents while Kevin was sent to the orphanage due to his “behavior”. He was sent to the orphanage at a very young age, so he doesn’t remember Samuel that well.

His family would deny the existence of Kevin whenever Samuel would ask about him. It wasn’t until he turned 18 when he found out the truth.

Enraged by his parents’ actions & concerned for his brother’s safety, would go to Playtime Co to find him, but was denied access to the orphanage.

After creating a fake identity, Samuel would apply for a job to work at Playtime Co. Mainly to gather information & find Kevin, while also needing a job in general.

However, after being caught multiple times trying to look through classified documents, he was fired & banned from the facility. He was then arrested & imprisoned for trespassing & aggravated assault about a couple days after being fired.

10 years later, it’s unknown if he escaped prison or was released early for good behavior, he went back to Playtime Co for closure. But was met with an empty factory filled with starved toys & eaten corpses.

These are just a few ideas for concept ideas for possible OCs, I would like hear what you guys think, & if you all like them then I might make art of them.

Rough Draft of Crimson (Horrortale Neue)

He got a little hungry

Let’s see how far he’ll go this time.

He doesn’t remember who he is…

He doesn’t remember who he was…

He doesn’t remember where he’s going…

He doesn’t remember why he needs to run…

But he does remember one thing…

She lied…

Here’s a better look at Asgore without the shadow:

W.I.P.

A little sneak peek on a project for 2 of my Poppy Playtime OCs.

Stifonies Ziemuzies: “The Symphony of Silence”

Stifonies Ziemuzies, Stifonies or Stifons, is the Overlord over the Orchestra industry, specifically Symphonies, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.

They had a fairly calmed life, growing up in a small town and worked as animal breeders. Their favorite animals to take care of were rodents, specifically rabbits (rabbits were considered to be rodents until the early 1900s). They were born mute due to defects and malfunctions in their throat, not that they mind.

However, the Netherlands started to began to flourish with the arts, music, and sciences; bringing them an inspiration and admiration for music. Their family took them to see orchestral performances, which in return, inspired them to write their own music. Some conductors would volunteer to perform these songs, but none of them matched Stifonies’s vision.

During one of these performances, a few of the performers accidentally played their instruments too loudly and suddenly. Due to where Stifonies was sitting, they got instantly affected by this, causing them to become partially deaf in their right ear.

They were told that it’s best for their health to stay away from orchestra performances to prevent their deafness from getting worst, but they refused. Many began to turn their backs on them, due to seeing that their music as “odd” and “unconventional”. But they still continued to write and eventually performed their music themselves. However, they were a perfectionist. They would work and force their instrumentalists to practice to the point of severe exhaustion. One day several of their performers died from a stroke while performing. Soon they were left with no players to perform in their orchestra, leading them to stop performing all together.

Unfortunately, the Smallpox epidemic reach the Netherlands. They soon got infected by this epidemic and was stuck in bed for days, being comforted by the rodents they once took care of. Then in February of 1871, they died in their sleep.

After arriving in Hell, they actually found themselves at The Puppeteer’s Theater. The Puppeteer, shocked by their sudden arrival, greeted them warmly. Since they were the first to ever appear at the Theater, and watched their orchestration talent while alive, The Puppeteer saw this as fate and offered a deal to them. The Puppeteer offered to make them the 2nd in Command of the Theater, the ability to control the instrumentalist and instruments themselves, and being able to practice nonstop without the worry of exhaustion. However, in exchange, their soul is owned by the Puppeteer, having to follow their command when needed. They saw this as a second chance and was pleased with the conditions, accepted eagerly.

They were cruel to most of the souls they owned, working them nonstop, and even breaking limbs to punish them. Even with broken bones, they still make them play, either on their own or through their powers. They didn’t feel the need to get along or even socialize with the other Overlords and often ignored them, even leaving snarky “remarks” and comebacks. Not even The Puppeteer was safe from their sass.

Design

Their name “Stifonies Ziemuzies” is a combination of the Dutch words for “Silent” and Symphony”, and “Sick” and “Music”.

They’re around 8ft 2in, making making them around the same height as Angel Dust.

They have rabbit like features to represent their fondness for rabbits, and rabbits are linked to magicians who are often said to have “a few tricks up their sleeves”.

Their body is covered with small spots to represent smallpox.

They feel like fresh new paper, smooth and warm, and is able to be drawn/written on. This is to represent that they preferred to communicate through writing rather than sign language, but still know how to.

Unlike the other overlords, they only have a “shackle” around their neck, which looks like a bow tie. This is due to them being the 2nd in Command for the Theatre.

They lack a mouth, mainly to represent that they’re mute, but one can form when in their full demon form.

Here is a basic reference without the clothes and makeup:

The Magician

Here is the finished reference for the Magician:

His name is a combination of the Arabic words “jaa” meaning starve & “sahar” meaning magic.

I really like how he looks, I might use him more in the main plot with my OCs, just not as an “active” participant.

AU Neues & Concept Idea

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I was doing some “research” for basically a “my take” of an AU, specifically Horrortale. But I also tried to revamp my list AUs that I want to draw Neue in, mainly AUs regarding the Bad & Star Sanses.

I’m currently working on a yearbook style headshots for all the AUs that I’m gonna draw Neue in (25 in total 🙃).

However, I wanted to discuss more about a story or slice of life headcanon for the “Sanses” & “Neues” within the Bad & Star Sanses, along with a few others that the Neues are friends with.

Main AUs

Horrortale

Dusttale

Something New/Killer AU

X-Tale

Underswap

Blank Template (My AU)

Dreamtale

I’m also gonna include some “Neues” who will have a bigger main role, but will eventually become more side/background characters: specifically Epictale & Underkeep Neue.

There’s another AU variant that’ll be included, Georgia or Gigi (Underlust Neue) which was inspired by @vantriloquist for Passion & Plum! I have a few ideas for him.

Basically it’s gonna be going over the “home-life” of the Bad Sanses & Neues, what they were like when they first got there, how their relationship works, & just generally more character building for my OCs.

I have posted some rough drafts for a few of the AUs listed above, but I’m definitely gonna be doing some touch ups/redesign once I get their personalities figured out.

It’s gonna generally revolve around Crimson (Horrortale Neue), Vani (Dusttale Neue), Sabon (Killer AU Neue) & Gisha (X-Tale Neue); with bits of Merrriweather (Underswap Neue) & Canvas (Blank Template Neue). I might include Eras & Lucida (Dreamtale “Neues”) along with a few joke “AUs” of an AU.
