Neue AUs Headshot Rough Drafts Pt. 1 cont.

Here are the detailed versions since I can only post 10 pictures at a time. Link to 1st Post: https://www.tumblr.com/stargazer4501/76867902

I used black outlining & base colors for the simplified headshots, while using colored outlining & rendered colors for the detailed headshots.

I really like how most of them turned out; Albus is so far my favorite, while Courier is my least favorite (it’s mainly because I didn’t have a set design for them, so they were kinda designed on the spot, their design will most likely change in the future).

I’m working on character profiles (as in a wiki about them) that I’ll eventually post when I figure everyone’s character. I’m open to any suggestions/ideas/headcanons/improvements because I want to hear your opinions, so please comment down below.

Enough rambling, here are the first set of headshots (along with a small peek on who’s next):

Here are some up close pictures as well (sorry if they look blurry):

Along with individual pictures (again; sorry if they’re blurry):

XTale Neue Rough Draft

This XNeue’s name is “Mono”.

Here is the rough draft:

He is based off the Bagot Goat.

He’s over an inch taller than Neue, and I decided to make his horns look like a “X” cause “X Tale”.

I didn’t know what to do with his pupils so I just did a X in one and a + in the other.

He’s a nervous boi.

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*

Missy Burlappe: The Flesh-Thread Seamstress

Missy Burlappe (Ms. Burlappe or just Missy) is the Overlord over the clothing industry, specifically costume design & tailoring, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.

She grew up around the small town of Glossop, England during the early 1900s. She had a large family: parents, siblings, grandparents, great grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all living under 1 roof.

However, her family was far from innocent: they were a family of murderous cannibals. It’s unclear when this “traditions” started, but it’s been in the family since before the great grandparents. They would kidnapped individuals and use parts of their bodies to eat or use in clothing, furniture, and even toys for the children.

Missy was quite skilled in skinning the victims and using their skin for sewing, helping with making clothes and dolls for her younger siblings and cousins. She also grew an interest in creating detailed designs in the “clothes” she makes (and eventually using normal pieces of fabrics to sew).

Once she turned 18, she moved to Liverpool, England and opened her own boutique. While not the most popular, she became well known throughout the city. However, family traditions are hard to get rid off, and cravings started to grow.

She would first kidnap people whom she judged “sinful”: thieves, abusers, drunks, prostitutes, generally rude people, smokers, etc. She then started going after individuals who lived alone and “flirt” with them. Missy had a secret basement under her boutique where she would keep the kidnapped individuals.

However, she grew careless one night and didn’t realized she was being followed. After finding her next victim, she lead her to her boutique, not realizing that the victim’s lover was following her. Before Missy could do anything, the Lover grabbed the victim and ran to the roof of the boutique. Missy followed them, thinking she had cornered them.

However, the victim grabbed a burlap bag and covered Missy’s head. Unable to see, she tried to find them, but was pushed off the building and fell into the streets below, killing her.

After arriving in Hell, she was greeted by The Puppeteer, who has been watching her and her “creative” clothes designing during her past life. The Puppeteer offered her to “improve” her hands to help better at clothes designing, eat as many individual as she pleases, and give total control over the souls she collect in exchange for her “working” under The Puppeteer, making her follow The Puppeteer’s every demand when needed. She accepted with no hesitation.

Out of the other Theatre Overlords, she’s definitely more unstable, making most feel uneasy and even in danger around her. While “most” of the others felt some remorse for their past actions, she feels none and justifies her past actions, but also she had fun doing these past. However, when she was allowed to leave the Theatre, found solace in Cannibal Town and became good friends with Rosie, and eventually on good terms with Alastor.

Design

Her name is based around the fact that parts of her body is made of burlap, and she died with a burlap bag over her head.

She is around 7ft 8in tall, making her taller than Alastor, who is supposedly 7ft 2in.

Her fingers are supposed to look like pins and needles often used in sewing (took some inspiration from Beldam from Coraline and the Prototype from Poppy Playtime).

Regarding the colors, I wanted her to look somewhat similar to the inhabitants of Cannibal Town, specifically Rosie.

Her body is very floppy, almost like she has no bones. This in a way is supposed to reflect how she died, which was from severe blunt trauma from falling off a building.

She has long arms due to The Puppeteer’s offer, and to represent how she could have “reached” the duo before falling, bringing them with her.

The pins around her wrists and neck act as “shackles” due to being under The Puppeteer’s control.

Here is a basic reference without the dress:

“He’s Escaping…” W.I.P.

Just another sneak peek that’s connected to the previous sneak peek.

Why is Mabel Standing like That?

Just sketching out a rough draft with Mabel, I’ve been trying a new rough draft technique.

Basically I stick figure the general pose that I want, then I highlight the “body” & then use that to create the outline. I definitely like this technique vs the one I use to do (which I’ll still use for more detailed work).

Oh look, Mati’s there too!

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:

I want to try doing those verbal scenarios with my OC(s) listed below:

(I still don’t have names for them yet, so we’ll just refer to them by the nick names on their pictures)

If you all have any ideas for scenarios for the characters, please comment down below.

Later I’ll try to draw these scenarios once I have their designs down.

Storyshift Neue Rough Draft

This variant’s name is “Mairanda”.

Here is the rough draft:

She is based off the Icelandic Goat.

She’s a bit shorter than Avenir.

I would imagine that her, Avenir, and Century are somewhat close and act as mentors to Merriweather and Miriam, along with each other.

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.
