The design was so spooky, but gosh Steve turned out so cute to me. I just know he's the only character that actually reads lmaoo
Steve is much more observant and meticulous than the rest of his pack. He tends to notice what the others- especially John- miss. Being surrounded by idiots has this soldier strung out!
-Yet, Steve is considerably more chipper when he's around John. All of Steve's poise goes out the window whenever he's with his best friend.
The tankmen are all strong men, so I wanted Steve to stand out among them. Whereas John is big, burly and fluffy in his wolf form, I wanted Steve to lean into the opposite extreme. I took inspiration from skinwalkers for his design and I think I spooked @slushgut when I originally shared the design with her.
Did that tiktok trend. Not sure if I'll actually post it there though
He's just a bby!
posting some slime picos i doodled a while back per @slushgut's request
Friendly fire at @inkpotachilles !! This was a real challenge, but only because animation is so new to me. Anyway, her characters are so cute, and I absolutely recommend attacking her♡♡♡
㋡🥀
I'm convinced now,,,
@inkpotachilles can you do me a favor and block me until your birthday so I can post WIPS?
LORE DROP BABY
This post is going to be a bit long and rambley, but I hope you'll hear me out!
I don't think Dearest was always a "bad guy." I think once upon a time, he was a dumb demon with a dream. Being an incubi, Dearest had always thrived in the spotlight. I think he wanted to be more than his body though, and found a real passion in singing. And he was good at it.
He started by performing at local clubs first, doing rap battles against local legends to build his notoriety. I like to headcannon that he and Caedan had a friendly rivalry. Maybe, they even had something more once..?
However, for all the talent he had, Dearest was often the center of controversy. He was a pretty boy behind the mic, not the usual face you'd associate with the rap scene. So, Dearest decided that he needed to change himself, to present as more masculine. He turned to steroids (and some other drugs) to accomplish this.
It was Mearest, a succubus in the rap scene, that took notice of Dearest's rapidly changing body. With her help, Dearest was able to break bad habits, but not before permanent damage had been done to his body. Mearest and Dearest became close through Dearest's recovery. They're deeply in love and quite the power couple in the industry.
I think Dearest acts so viciously towards Blue to protect his family, moreso than protecting his legacy as a rapper. Angels have always struck down demons: although Blue doesn't know that he's an angel, Dearest is fully aware, and wants to keep his daughter safe from him.
Gracie is the daughter to Daddy Dearest and Mother Mearest, though seems perfectly content not mentioning that, despite her obvious love for them both. After Pico and Blues breakup, she stepped in and proposed a fake relationship. One where she could continue hiding her girl kissing activities from her parents and Blue could take a break from a string of situationships. They are the only two aware of this deal.
She is not at all ignorant to her parents' never-ending hunt for Blues head, but is shockingly confident in Blues wild good luck to get them out of tough spots.
Sorry to everyone who showed up for Pico art and ended up getting my ocs instead
Its my birthday wish to post art for a Fandom that has been dead since the 2000s : 3
