Mabel Design & What’s Next?

Who Should I “Mati-fy” Next?

So if you have seen my recent post, Mati has the ability to “impersonate” any individual that Mati has seen.

I used Mabel as an example, mainly because I like to imagine that Mabel befriended Mati when her & Mati first met.

This also gives me an excuse to “redesign” characters from the show.

I was gonna go through all the Pines, but I figured it would be fun to mix it up a bit.

So who should I “Mati-fy” next?

Neue & AU Variants: Clothing Rough Draft Pt.1/6

I’m finally working on the rough drafts of clothes for Neue & his AU Variants.

Here are the clothing rough drafts for Neue, Roman, & Merriweather. (The colors used in the rough are used to differentiate certain pieces of clothing from each other, they’ll be colored differently in the final draft).

Neue

Roman

Merriweather

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Albus

Albus is basically from Underswap: Blueberry Flavored, which is just a longer way of saying he’s from the “Fanon” Underswap (Blueberry) rather than the “Canon” Underswap (Blue or Swap).

Here are the rough draft headshots for Albus: Underswap/Blueberry Neue:

As I stated before, Albus is based off the beta design for Underswap Neue that I made back in late 2019/2020:

I obviously tried to update his design, but still keep that energetic & child-like excitement demeanor.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Jämtland Goat (Pictures not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

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.

Missy Burlappe

I’m working on adjusting and redesigning my overlord OCs.

Here is the design of Missy Burlappe:

The biggest changes are her clothes in appearance and colors. I wanted her to have that dress that’s puffy towards the hips, but tight towards the bottom. I also lightened the colors since I felt that the colors were too dark. I also shortened and changed the design of the jacket.

I changed her lashes a bit and gave a mouth similar to Rosie.

I used Rosie and Alastor as reference for drawing and colors.

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.

Can an Imp or Hellhound Work for an Overlord?

Asking because I’m adding some characters for my Theatre Overlord OCs, 2 of which will be hellborn.

One will actually be a character you all have seen before, she was originally part of another character, but decided to make her a separate character.

Finished/Colored Lineart: Nova

Here is the finished final draft for Nova:

I know that all space prints clothing are probably clashing with each other, but it also fits his personality of not caring about what he wears as long as he’s comfortable. I wanted to give a shirt that said “SPAAAAAAAAACE!!!”, but you wouldn’t be able to see it because of his jacket.

Also here’s the lineart for just the body as well:
