Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Poppy Playtime Chapter Four - Blog Posts
I recently watched someone play Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, and now I'm obsessed with it.
So since I cannot, and will not attempt to draw the toys (I might, but don't count on it) I decided to draw myself as the player character.
I really enjoyed doing this and I might be able to power through and post more often, but I most likely won't.
Oh! I should explain the two images...
The one on the left her entering the playtime factory and the second one is like at the end of Chapter 4 or something.
(edit: I didn't realise at the time but the photo I uploaded was bad quality, the correct one is up there now! :D)
i had to draw the little pupper ❤️
(i dont think I’ve ever drawn a dog before..)
jude, bella, and lucas are by @justabeewithapen :D
guess who saw poppy playtime chapter 4
who else wants to adopt him with me
pov you accidentally cause the generator to explode
EVERYONE LOOK NOW
hello! if it's not any trouble, then may I request Dr. sawyer in a dapper outfit? I'd love to see how he'd look in a suit!
Oh I LOVE the way you think-
Part 2 + 3
could you draw Doey´s three consciences?
Yay i`ve finally dome the fellas-
they look so silly - Yes, I decided to give em blue secondary color in palms/soles and arms/legs cause reasons
And despite the fact that Matt has the hat on the sketch, it actually changes its owner. It`s like their "talking ball" (that stuff where in the crowd the holder of a ball is the only one who is allowed to speak, so no one will interrupt the talker)
...yeah this is how this scene went
okay but lets be real Matthew was 100% even angrier /srs
2 cats sleeping💤
...forever
GUYS I SWEAR THEY ARE ALIVE AND WELL!!!! 😭😭😭
yarnaby my baby you didn't deserve that and catnap too 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。
You deserve to be loved All the time
I always knew that He Will come back

“Where did you get this?”
Update on PPt OC
I’m going to start working on my ‘ex-worker’ OC, but I’m going to display him in a different kind of format. Mainly through found documents & items, & even written out ‘commercials/broadcast’.
I’m still trying to figure out the style to draw these characters in, I like the cartoon style but the ‘realistic’ style works better for darker themes. I’ll probably bounce between the 2.
I’m also planning on making a second account just for Poppy Playtime OCs, still thinking of a name though. I’ll be moving all of my ppt art to that account once it’s been created.
Anyway, I’ll give the basic background about this character:
The main premise is that he is a parent of one of the orphans in Playcare. Basically his wife took the child there without him knowing until it was too late.
After some unfavorable actions, he got a job at Playtime Co to find his child. However, he got fired & even jailed due to some violent behavior.
He just got released, & under a new identity, he comes back to the now dilapidated factory with the delusion that his child is still there somewhere.
His name is Martin Redd, but that’s not his true name. That will revealed in due time.
By the way, this guy is like in his early 50s during chapters 1-4, so you can imagine what traversing through the factory is like for him.
I’ll reveal more of his character through future posts. But to simplify him as much as possible: he’s a loving father with good intentions, but makes incredibly bad life decisions.
Should I do some character backstory for these 2, like who they were before? I already have something in mind for Mary.
Also should I start on making one of the ex-worker OCs that I mentioned in the past, mainly Samuel?

W.I.P.
A little sneak peek on a project for 2 of my Poppy Playtime OCs.
“A new fiend has joined the Nightmare Critters, meet”
“LIAR-LIER”
Text in Photo: Liar-Lier is exactly as his namesake, a liar that tells tall tales and waits for the results. Whenever he’s feeling bored, he’ll spread “little white lies” to stir up some drama between his friends. Though this does lead to some…violent outcomes.
Scent: Patchouli
————————————————————————
Liar-Lier is the counterpart to Mary Little & was released during the same year has her.
He’s close friends with Baby Rabie, who will share the lastest gossip, which Liar will then exaggerate or “sprinkle some pizzazz” to make them more interesting. He loves starting drama between the Smiling Critters, & sometimes with his own “friends”, which usually end with him getting pummeled.
I gave him a lazy eye, for whatever reason whenever I make an opossum character, I like to give them a lazy eye.
“Playtime Co. has announced a massive recall for the toy plush known as…”
“SKUNKY FUNK”
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.
“We are proud to present a new special addition to the Smiling Critters & a limited edition toy…”
MARY LITTLE
Text in Photo: Mary is a little lamb, a special little friend. Mary is a little lamb, her curiosity knows no end. Everywhere that Mary went, her bell swung to and fro. Everywhere that Mary went, the smiles start to grow. Mary is a little lamb, a special day arrives. Mary is a little lamb, the most trustful friend alive.
Scent: Roman Chamomile
————————————————————————
As stated in the poll, Mary is essentially a limited time toy to celebrate the 3rd Year anniversary of the Smiling Critters.
While sharing a similar appearance to the Smiling Critters, her plush has a few add-ons:
Her hooves & inner ears are covered in sequins, and she has visible eyelashes. If you squeeze her torso, Mary will talk & sing nursery rhymes. She even comes with her very own book.
For her body, I mainly used different parts of Craftycorn & some bits from Bubba.
Also I was having a hard time figuring out the difference between a German Chamomile flower & a Roman Chamomile flower.
Mary may have ties to another character(s).
Meet a new addition to the Smiling Critters: SLEEPY SHEEPY
Text in Photo: Sleepy Sheepy is a calm, yet wise critter; soft-spoken and will happily give helpful advice to any of their friends. Their best advice? To get a good night’s rest. After all, you can’t have a fun filled day if you can barely keep your eyes open.
Scent: German Chamomile
————————————————————————
I’m gonna be doing each character in 3 different styles: the cartoon depiction, the Bigger Body depiction, & one where I basically do an overly detailed redesign because why not.
I’m not gonna lie, in order to get the proportions & style right, I used a technique I saw on YouTube where you basically use different body parts of the critters to create a character.
I also tried to use font that looked similar, but I couldn’t find one that was exactly the same, so sorry if the fonts weird.
I used Bobby’s torso, Bubba’s left arm, Craftycorn’s legs, & Baba’s right arm & head. The wool, face ears, horns, tail, & pendant I freestyle.
I really like how Sleepy turned out and I can’t wait to do the rest, especially the bigger body versions cause I like taking cute things and make them scary.
Also I know the poll isn’t over yet, but I originally wanted it to be open for a few days, not a whole week. Based off the results so far, it seems that I’ll be doing Mary Little next.
Smiling/Nightmare Critter OCs
I’ve decided that I’ll draw some of the Smiling/Nightmare Critter OCs in my free time, along with them interacting with the other Smiling/Nightmare Critters.
I’ll list the characters’ names in the poll below, with descriptions of each character below the poll.
Sleepy Sheepy
Sleepy was a simply a rough draft concept to replace Catnap after the scandal, but was scrapped shortly after.
Their base design was then used to create Baba Chops, by inverting the colors & changing the scent.
Their appearance was a sheep with thick white wool & black limbs, along with tan hooves & horns. They wore a cloud shaped pendant with 3 Zs in it, & would’ve had German Chamomile as their scent.
Their personality wasn’t completely developed yet, but was said to have a drowsy demeanor but was a good listener & would’ve given good advice to the Smiling Critters.
Mary Little
Mary was created from the scrapped concept of Sleepy, & was a 1991 limited edition toy to celebrate the 3-year anniversary of the Smiling Critters.
Her appearance is a lamb with short white wool & limbs, & black hooves. She wears a bell shaped pendant, & has Roman Chamomile as her scent.
Her personality is described has innocent, overly curious, & a bit naive & gullible. She views everyone has her friend & wants everyone to get along.
She’ll often try to invite the Nightmare Critters to join in the Smiling Critters’ games to feel included, but this would lead to some disagreements & tension between the Smiling/Nightmare Critters.
Skunky Funk
Skunky was a scrapped/recalled toy that was created for the Nightmare Critters toy line. She would’ve been a counterpart to Sleepy.
Her appearance is a skunk with dark blue-violet fur with white stripes. She wore a housefly shaped pendant, & has Ambergris as her scent.
Her scent was actually the reason for her being recalled, complained that it was too pungent & smelled “gross”.
Her personality is described has moody, reserved & snippy. She prefers to be alone, secretly worried that the other Nightmare Critters don’t like her. She’s very condescending towards others & very self-deprecating towards herself.
Liar-Lier
Liar-Lier was created as a counterpart for Mary Little, & was released shortly after Mary as a limited edition toy as well.
His appearance is an opossum with dark brown fur, cream face & belly fur, & peach hand, feet & tail. He wears a crossed finger shaped pendant, & has Patchouli as his scent.
He’s personality is described to be mischievous, sarcastic, & a bit of a prankster. He’s known to lie a lot to cause fights between both the Smiling Critters & even the Nightmare Critters. He loves drama.
He’s close friends with Rabie Baby, who tells him the latest gossip which he’ll then exaggerate to start fights. If he’s caught, he’ll “play dead” to startle & freak out the Smiling Critters, this trick doesn’t that well with most of the other Nightmare Critters.
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.

My first association with the character Doey is the episode from Steven Universe, where the Clusters first appear. That moment when the creature takes shape, and we see the faceless silhouettes of the Gems forcibly fused together. They want to separate, but they can't
So, I guess it inspired me 🤔

This is an emotional punch to the face. I barely felt it.
Words of affirmation; this lad needs to hear it. To feel it. Take it from Chilli, bud.
You're doing great.
