So, what are you in for?

Talk to the boys, would you?

If the Devil can’t keep his end of the bargain, than why should you?

The Broken Contract AU focuses on the cupbros and their father, King Dice.

Cuphead and Mugman are twins around 15 to 16 years old. They were adopted by King Dice when they were just babies, and now they run the streets of Isle 3. They enjoy helping and hanging out with the denizens of Isle 3, and occasionally taking a family trip to Isle 2 for the day. They can be a bit reckless at times, and like to stick their noses where they don’t belong.

In the beginning, they have no clue about the denizens debt to the Devil. They don’t even know about King Dice’s debt. They simply think he works as a manager of a casino. However, once they find out about it, I wonder how they expect to tackle it?

King Dice is the Devil’s right hand man. A majority of the time he runs the Casino along with his crew, but on occasion, he’ll be tasked with finding a debtor and taking their soul back to the Devil. King Dice does not trust the Devil as far as he can throw him, so he makes sure he knows nothing of his sons. However, his crew does know about them, if only moderately. When Cuphead and Mugman were young, King Dice made a deal with the other denizens of Isle 3. When it came time for them to pay their debt, he would not use violence against them nor would he use it while they were still alive, as long as they promised to keep an eye out for his children when he couldn’t. But, if they break their part of the deal, than so will he.

I have some plans for the other characters of Isle 2, Isle 1, and the DLC, but they won’t come in until a bit later!

As for the ask blog, the only real rule I have would be to not spam the same question if I don’t answer it. If its been a few weeks, and I haven’t gotten to your question and you would like to send it again, that’s fine, just not whenever I post a question that isn’t yours.

Also, I’m not sure how much I’d be able to do with NSFW questions since it’s Tumblr. So, if I don’t answer those, it’s probably because I figured that I can’t.

That’s all for now! Let me know if you have any questions!

Experimental Piece of King Dice in a Comic Book art style!

Wow, this was an adventure! I want to thank every one who voted on the polls I posted! It's given me a lot of confidence and helped me fall back in love with the art process. Also, it reminded me how important taking time with my art pieces improves them. I hope y'all like it! ><

(Progress pics under the cut!)

Sneak peak at my comic book art experimental piece of King Dice!

My lord, I do adore lineart, but this new form of lineart is taking a long while! A lot of going back and forth with the comic book art pieces that I'm studying from. (A lot of Spiderman and Batman, lol).

It's coming together, slowly but surely!

The Casino Crew!

I'll admit, when I first started writing BCAU I didn't know how popular the Casino bosses were in the fandom. I know I sure like them a lot! (My favorites being Chips and Pirouletta.) Since my latest ask was asking all of them a specific question I decided to go in and update their designs a little bit. Some didn't change at all (Chips has been perfect since he walked on the sceene, lol) and some changed quite a lot (looking at you Hopus).

Let me know who is your favorite from the crew!

I love seeing the DTIYS pieces recently in the fandom. Would you guys like me to do one? Seems like fun! If so, what would it be on?

[ask-dices-cups]

Hi, I just wanted to say I love your Dad!Dice au! I love seeing this type of content and this au (alongside Dad!Dice in general) is a huge comfort for me

Your work is awesome, I can't wait to see more! :3

Thank you! That means a lot to me ><

As I get older I do find so much comfort in guardian/parenting AUs, so I think that's why I wanted to start this one. I love to see other's action and romance filled AUs as well! I hope to have some more content for y'all soon! Working on a three part-er at the moment ^^

[ask-dices-cups]

Took a pic of my sister's cat a while ago. It made me think of a scrapped plotline for BCAU where The Devil wormed his way into the cups family by acting like a weakened cat. How do y'all think this would've worked out?

-Vik

P.S. I did color it, but I didn't like the way it came out. Maybe I'll recolor it at some point or I could leave it for anyone else to color, lol.

[ask-dices-cups]

And then I keep drawing.

-Vik

P.S. I have no idea what happened to this snippet of writing. I haven't been able to find it again. Maybe, I dreamt it?

[ask-dices-cups]

Hey y'all, it's Vik.

I'm feeling a bit like a worm today who can't function, so I'll be fielding a few questions about myself to try and feel a bit more productive.

Ask anything, but please don't be forceful, like I said, it's a worm Vik kind of day.

[ask-dices-cups]

So what would've happened if Dice DID leave the cups with Elder Kettle? What would become of the cups?

At least, that's what Dice thinks would've happened if Elder Kettle had won over him.

I wonder how true that is...
