This is actually the character that sparked this idea of redesigning my Overlord OCs. I just didn’t like how he looked, mainly his clothing.
Here is the finished redesign of Stragedys, plus the addition of his pet hellsheep: Phema.
While redesigning him, I decided to take some inspiration from Cyclops, specifically Polyphemus from the Odyssey.
I made his hair curly and changed the clothes to look more like the Greek Military uniform during the Balkan Wars since that is when he died.
His sheep is obviously a reference to Polyphemus and how he cared for flocks of sheep.
Lineart For the Seamstress Overlord
I had fun drawing this one, but had some trouble drawing the eyes.
I took some inspiration from “Downtown Abbey” when designing the clothes.
Gonna say more about her when I post the finished version.
I’m working on the deaths for my overlord OCs, along with some other information like birthday.
Some of these deaths are linked to real world events while others are no way related. Few of these real events is definitely messed up so search at your own risk.
Finally I really need feedback on these so that I can make the proper adjustments and faithful representation.

So I’m working on doing headshots for the different AU variants of Neue.
I’m mainly want to work on the head/facial areas of the characters, & figure out how I want their appearance (hair, eyes, horns, ears, etc.) to look like.
I’m going to do 2 headshot rough drafts each character: one with a simple hair/horn design & one with a more detailed hair/horn to match the goat breed they’re based on.
Here is the first rough drafts of Undertale Neue, the original:
For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Angora Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):
I don’t know if it looks like it, but I was trying to give him curly hair since the wool coat looks curly to me (I also had to look up what mohair was).
I’m going to be changing the eyes to normal pupil lights instead of the goat pupil, since it looks more “natural”. However there will be a few characters that will still have it.
On a side note, if y’all want to hear “headcanons” for Crimson(Horrortale Neue), Vani(Dusttale Neue), Sabon(Something New Neue), or Gisha(X-Tale); please leave a comment.
Text in Photo: It’s probably for the best to just leave her alone.
Scent: Ambergris
————————————————————————
Fun fact: Ambergris is a waxy substance produced within sperm whales. Its smell is described as a musky & earthly scent with hints of tobacco, sandalwood & marine; though it can also smell similar to fecal. It’s also illegal to trade or have in possession in the United States.
For her body, I used mainly Simon’s head & torso, & Bobby’s leg. The rest were free handed.
Skunky was recalled due to the intensity of her scent, & some were even feeling sick after being in prolonged contact with her plushie.
But it’s not her fault.
I’m currently working on my Hazbin Hotel Character. I have a basic rough draft of her body, but still trying to figure what she should wear.
Like I explained in a previous post, she has Dissociative Identity Disorder, or Multiple Personality Disorder. Now I don’t know how disorders/illnesses from previous/earth lives work in Hazbin Hotel, but I imagine that it would transit to Hell with the sinner, or changes to a more extreme/supernatural version of it that could effect the sinners powers.
This character has 7 alternate personalities, excluding hers, which are physically attached to her by chains. Below are the list personalities with their “personality traits”, what limb they are attached to, and what dog breed they are.

Stragedys is the Overlord over the Playwright industry, specifically as a director and writer, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.
He grew up on a small farm in Doxato, Greece during the late 19th century. During this time, Greece was poor and close to bankruptcy, however, he was a positive face amongst the townspeople.
He was a hard-worker and always lent out a helping hand to those around him. But as much as he liked working, he found great comfort in the words of stories. After he paid the necessities, he would use whatever he had left to gather stories of all kinds and make his own personal makeshift library. However, as the country grew poorer and his allowance grew less, he started to write his own stories to fulfill his dream.
His uncle, who saw his creativity in his stories, was a shipowner and offered to take him on adventures to help inspire him for his stories. However, during one of these adventures, there was a great storm causing both the uncle and the ship to sink to the bottom of the sea. Stragedys was the sole survivor and constantly blames himself for this tragedy. He stopped writing and drowned himself in work and chores.
Then in the early 1910s, the Balkan Wars erupted. He entered these wars willingly, giving all his energy and releasing all his anger on the opponent’s soldiers. He was fierce but reckless; his family pleaded with him to stop and think, but he ignored them. He survived the 1st Balkan War, but wasn’t so lucky during the 2nd Balkan War.
When charging, he got shot several times before being shot in eye, and eventually bleeding out on the field.
After arriving in Hell, he was immediately greeted by The Puppeteer, who has read his stories and watched his struggle during his past life. The Puppeteer offered him a deal, they would bring back the passion he once had for writing, give him dreams and nightmares to inspire new stories for him to write, the ability to create emotion manifestation plays from these stories, the power to turn any of the souls he owns into natural actors for said plays. However, in exchange, his soul is owned by the Puppeteer, having to follow their command when needed. Longing for the days of his stories, and the thought of turning these stories into moving plays, he accepted The Puppeteer’s deal.
He’s definitely more social and outgoing than the other Overlords, much like how he was when he was alive. He tries to get along with everyone, being polite and respectful even towards the rudest individual, but he views The Puppeteer as a god of some sort, praising him for the gifts they bestowed onto them. After the Puppeteer invited Charlie and the gang to watch one of their performances, he met with Charlie and immediately started to flatter her, trying to get her praise for his plays. Even after learning about the Hazbin Hotel, and what Charlie is trying to accomplish at said hotel, he only cares about what goes on at the Theater. He both deeply admires and fears The Puppeteer, doing anything and everything to gain their approval.
His name “Stragedys” is a combination of the Greek word for “Soldier” and Tragedy.
She is around 8ft 5in tall, making him slightly taller than Angel Dust, who’s around 8ft 2in.
He’s a cyclops for a few reasons:
Cyclops are from Greek Mythology.
He lost one of his eyes during the war.
Clyclops are described to be violent and not the brightest, which fits how Stragedys was towards the end of his life.
Regarding the colors, I decided to do more seaweed colors mainly to represent the incident that lost his uncle and his general motivation to write.
He has marks that look like shot wounds on his head, neck, and torso to represent how he died.
The cuffs around his ankles, wrists, and neck act as “shackles” due to being under The Puppeteer’s control.
His eye is actually detachable, and can be used had a weapon. When it pops out, it turns to stone and can be used as a chained wrecking ball.
Here is a basic reference without the clothes and his hair down:
I’m going to be redrawing the past character designs, mainly to adjust their design & heights.
Anyway, here’s the design concepts of Vani (Dr. Serif) & Sans (Murder/Dust).
I drew 3: one showing their current design, one showing how they looked before (for Vani, it’s after the events of Dusttale, but it’s before the current design), & one showing off their body (sorry if the bodies look weird, skeletons are hard to draw).
For context: Vani is 5ft 7in, while Sans is 4ft 10in.
Here are the clothing rough drafts for Quire, Gisha & Styx.
Quire
Gisha
Styx
Sorry it took forever to do these 3, I didn’t have a lot of ideas except for a very basic concept.
Not gonna lie, I can’t draw flowers that well so I just pasted some pics of flowers on Quire to get a basic idea for placement, points for ya’ll if you can guess the flowers and what they symbolize.
I also found out that XTale was technically a Swap AU, which meant I had to make a few changes to Gisha, mainly personality and clothing ideas, I might remove the crown. (I also changed Gisha’s name from Mono, and made them Non-Binary).
I don’t have much to say about Styx, I was debating on drawing birds on his horns; side note: he’s gonna play an interesting role along side Quire and Gisha.
I decided to draw an alternate version of Neue for TS!Underswap cause I like the demo that was made for this AU, I also like the character designs (especially Crossbones).
I also thought that this AU was pronounced “Tsunderswap” like “Tsundere”, I can’t unsee it.
This version is named “Century”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Bilberry Goat.
He’s a bit taller than Avenir, and his hair is in a very loose ponytail.
I didn’t mean to make his expression look like he’s having an existential crisis, but it also lines up with his character.
