Fishyaudio - Fishyaudio

howdy, got some questions about the designs themselves [maybe also as a break from the tangle of existential cycles among cycles inside cycles]. Why does Upturned have four arms? Is it related to him being an anomaly? Also who do you think takes the longest to get dressed? And on the same subject, does Fallen's tongue ever dry out from dangling out of her mask from day to day stuff for so long?

Thank you, that is a needed break (*sounds of bleeding out onto the pages of the masterdoc* /j)

Honestly when designing Upturned I didn't even have an AU in mind. The figure on the left of the violence karma mural appeared to have a decorative, second pair of arms, so I thought hey, who else deserves weird four arms out of nowhere if not her. I'll probably leave it as it because it just signals that something about this guy is not exactly how a standard Slugcat should be. From the story standpoint (and to not get in too deep into the timey wimey branches-timelines-cycles) I see Upturned as somewhat of an antithesis of Dancing.

Dancing is a careful watcher working outside the cycle and all the madness of different, convoluted paths, while having the potential to have most impact on them, while Upturned would be an oxymoron of someone who's "whole when shattered", always inside the system and under its rule, but with the aspiration to experience and adore it all as is (funnily enough being on two ends of the RoF anomaly spectrum leads them to getting along better rather than somehow making them antagonistic), NOT being in constant torment, but being rather fine with ascension or reincarnation, by choice, not really being on the table for him. In the context of that role - the four arms are a visual representation of that nature of wanting to interact with everything. Origin story wise? I don't think I want to tackle where Upturned would even come from exactly, that'd take away from her being a bit of a cryptid. Maybe I'll change my mind, for now she's vague as a treat.

To answer the second question - probably Upturned because she's a diva. All Slugcats that doomed themselves with using bandages and ribbons tied around them as clothing are also victims of a long morning routine though.

And for the last one - probably doesn't because it isn't always out, she's a cultured being. On a tangent it made me wonder if Sliver of Straw, as that's her maker in this AU, would bless her with not having taste or doom her with having to taste rusted metal and moss when actually using it as a grappling hook. Also she probably looks super funny when doing that. Thankfully, we're talking about a fanfiction and not a platformer game, so tongue-grapple-hook can be limited to a last resort option/useful tool to get all the fruit growing high above down without much struggle.

Obligatory wip to not just leave a wall of text there. Thank you for the ask!

Next one: Huzzle Mug in Hylics!

So I remember that one person who actually guessed the game for this crossover! I was introduced to Hylics only recently and I gotta say the surreal and abstract vibe are so unique that I had to draw Huzzle like that (even tho it barely changed tbh XD)

And that is all for Crossover art! I will make a post with every drawing later
