@astros-nightmare (Insert Mariah Carey-esque "It's TIIIIIME" here)
I KNOW there's a post of you saying that you'd post an art challenge where we'd make our OCs in your AU once all of the character designs are finished, but I just can't find it. BUUUUT. Since the designs are finished, OC. He's been living in my head rent-free, please see this.
@starlightwoofwoof REVAMPED DIONYSUS DESIGN BI-
@asternomikal
It's been a minute ain't it! I haven't posted anything about the lovable eldritch horror in ages! Well, I'm here to remedy that with a major redesign and a few fun facts, some revised too!
Normal Estrella! I honestly think her design is pretty simple and nice, but I still tried to give more attention to detail.
-Still in the "Oh my god, I think I want to be a girl" stage of transitioning
-heavy as shit axe
-bones are frail and constantly breaking, leaving her sore everywhere
-accidentally calls Eclipse Lola. Eclipse thinks it's Estrella's transitioning name for her, it's not.
-practically a walking corpse
ELDRITCH ESTRELLA! NOW HERE'S WHERE I HAD FUN REDESIGNING! The design is a lil complicated, but I like it (yes I know I missed attention to detail on this one I've been silently stewing in my own pain because of this) Now, I really think my old design for Eldritch Estrella (EE for short) was really stereotypical and kind of bland. Why not mix it up? Show that the Darkness has basically taken them over, and is forcing them to watch her own body on autopilot? Just for the hell of it!
-can oneshot you
-can't really speak English, only garbled nonsense
-knows a lot more than they should
-murder hobo tendencies go brrrrrrrrrr
-Takes up a lot of energy Estrella doesn't have
-Eclipse at first was incredibly freaked out to see EE, but eventually became desensitized to their presence
@starlightwoofwoof WARNING: SHIT TON OF LORE AND YAPPING
Okay, time for a yap-a-thon for the hell of it. Glisten and Alga are two sides of the same coin, if that wasn't obvious from their similar means and reasons for akumatization. Glisten strives to be perfect, to be perceived as some confident, flawless person to others, despite his crippling autophobia and atelophobia. Alga is the opposite. He's tired of being known as this chivalrous gentleman who can't even change his appearance without literally killing himself! He wants to get his hands dirty, to be someone who has flaws, but he can't. Being a gentleman is permanently etched into his brain; he can try, but he can never fully change himself.
When Perfect is in play, he can project his insecurity about his imperfections onto others, forcing them to hyper-fixate on every little mistake and perceive themselves negatively, all while acting like an untouchable god. Dionysus, however, makes it so that everyone completely forgets anything about their worries. It's almost like Trickster Mode from Homestuck; they act so wild and giddy that it's downright unhinged and worrying, especially relationship-wise. Someone could do something to strain a relationship, like, oh, I don't know, break the other's wrist accidentally! (cough cough Dionysus with Finn, cough cough.) When the two of them are de-akumatized, they are essentially forced to suffer the weight of their guilt together. Glisten has the guilt of causing others to akumatize, and Alga has the guilt of harming his friends. Both of them thrust themselves into the same time of coping mechanism while going through this grief. Try to return to that same normalcy beforehand. It doesn't really work, and both of them are just stewing in their guilt. Only when they finally accept that hey, somethings can't be changed fully and no matter what, there's always going to be some bits of you that remain forever, and you don't have to be perfect to be good do they get over their grief and get their respective miraculous, Glisten with the snake Miraculous and Alga with the Dragon Miraculous. In terms of power, both of them are fucking swole. The reasons to become akumatized due to Perfect are slower; the reasons swallow you whole before spitting you out like you mean nothing. Meanwhile, Dionysus' reasons hit you hard and fast, like a freight train. You could blink, and everything fine and dandy before could turn chaotic and terrifying really quick. Admittedly, this is more a reason for someone to be handed a miraculous, but I can also see someone having a panic attack and getting akumatized because of Dionysus. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Honestly, I would have a doodle of my OCs, but my ass is too lazy lmao.
I absolutely adore your Gunntech AU. Just gold. I barely remember PJ Masks as a kid but boy howdy does this have my ass hyperfixtated. So I did what any artist would do when hyperfixated. Make a shit ton of OCs.
Alright, so essentially all four of my OCs, (codenamed: Prayer, Hannibal, Miasma and Anatsi for less effort in remembering who the fuck they are because holy shit there's probably like an entire goddamn school of experiments in there) were all originally used to be Gunntech's mascots, to be the cutesy happy heroes that the public sees. Never are they to fight or go into battle. All four of them eventually get tired of this "cutesy smiles" act, so Romeo approaches them with a proposition. He can modify them so they would be more than capable to fight. All four of them eventually accept and are changed into what they are now.
Prayer, a dove/swan the experiment that took the longest to accept, now turned into an angel experiment,
Hannibal, a deer experiment and the one who got the brunt of experiment, now turned into a demonic wendigo.
Miasma, who was originally this cloud experiment, turned into wisps of poison gas
And of course Anatsi, an antisocial moth turned into a slightly menacing spider.
All four of them are ready to fight, but Romeo forgot to tell them about the fact that by accepting his offer, they technically now serve him. He'd probably put a shock collar on each of them and get them to do his bidding. So yeah. Romeo has four terrifyingly powerful experiments at his disposal. I will work on their appearance and powers but for now you have the basic rundown of their lore of them.
Thanks for listening lol.

Got the person trying to kill themselves away and now it's finally time t-
Oh.
Huh. I was hoping you all would aggressively multiply for no reason. No matter!
@diggitydoggo
I gift you, the new and revamped design of Twisted Claude!
He's themed off an iron maiden!
And yes, he is stupidly tall.

Rando 3am thought, but to all my art homies out there:
I love your art, and I love seeing you post. Post more art if you're able, and I will savor every morsel. You inspire me to stay on my own art path and become the best I can be at this silly little hobby we share. Thank you for doing what you do best. You are appreciated, and the time you put into your craft is valued immensely. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
