Not exactly a character sheet but something akin to it... an all around sound reveal/analysis for my punk funk guy
yapping on top of yapping under the cut:
Les's musical style is a wide range that typically leans heavily into funk metal or punk rock, or both!, although he is quick to get inspired by other genres too. In general he likes music that sounds at least a little droll and unexpected. I hope the selection of albums I compiled can paint you a good idea of it (because I sure as hell don't know what I'm doing!).
He is, first and foremost, a bass player and he's very good at it. Heavy funky slapping and popping is prominent in his music as is usual in funk music in general. He's got an old (ugly) second-hand bass guitar, that he cherishes like it's his baby. He could probably save an get a cooler-looking one for the stage but that in itself is uncool in his book.
He's also not so bad with the trumpet too, doesn't own one though, so he only plays it when he gets a chance. He learned to play it from his uncle Adewale.
Singing on the other hand is not his forte; he doesn't have super impressive vocals plus he's holding himself back. His singing style sounds droll and kind of jaded (often even deadpan and monotone although thought out and not lazy in any way), and closer to speak-singing. Big reason for that is that genuine honest singing makes him feel vulnerable in an uncomfortable way he's not willing to face, and it hints at a possibility for emotional release he very much prefers to not see happen. Y'know, singing is therapeutic and he doesn't want the therapy. 🥲
He typically balances out his singing with sarcastic/dramatic lyrics or unusual storytelling that keep his true thoughts and feelings well encrypted under layers of metaphors and allegories (subconsciously or intentionally) — which funnily enough makes him a very clever lyricist. But he doesn't put any of it down and has no interest in joining Hed and Floyd with writing songs for the band.
His singing VA is John McCrea from Cake, and when I say this I mean from the sound of his singing voice, all the way down to how he delivers his lines and the lyrics themselves. ':) More examples: 1, 2, 3. (I put only two of their albums on the drawing but honestly Cake has so many good Les songs.)
NoMeansNo is a close second when it comes to lyrics, but they're more like vent songs for Les, when you catch him in a weird angry/depressed mood. I also really like that band's prominent use of the bass, it's not very funky but it scratches my Les itch very much.
Butthole Surfers' songs have good Les lyrics too, although those are more "him singing about weird hallucinations while high out of his mind" or when he wants to be shocking for the sake of being shocking. That band is just weird overall, I like the singers southern drawl though. I'm still on board the idea of Les and Hed having a bit of a southern US accent.
Incubus is an amazing band overall but their first two albums are such a good flavor of funk metal and early band experimentality. Their singer is really good in regards to the word intonation I imagine Les having, he's too skilled for Les to keep up with in some parts though. 😅
I think the perfect Les sound would be some kind of chimera of these four bands... or maybe not, maybe that would sound terrible. XD
But still, to get a feel for Les's sound overall you have to give all of the examples below a listen, or at least the ones I put in bold.
can i request this silly billy, the king of hyperpop trollls...,,
I wanted to draw a bunch of poses for King Yves after learning more about him! I love his sassy yet serious nature and how sweet he is once he warms up to you. His bond with his kids is wonderful, and I adore that he paints his family. I just wanna hug the poor traumatized babu TwT
Flower Queen :3 (I like the headpiece and the earrings better than the actual dress I’m crying probably because I fucked up the bottom but tbh who cares- just me)
He's my addiction (don't question the song, original meaning flew away)
I was about to make an animatic but too tired, and it's late here
Maybe when summer comes-
Hey, someone know where I can watch a 6 seasons of Trolls: Trollstopia? I saw the 1st one, but my country just blocking all needed services so if you know a free way... Let me know please
"Great Decisions" by @rydoesartandstuff . Chapter 69 «"D" Stands for "Dolittle", Right?».
I'm a big fan of this fanfic and I enjoy reading it every time. And in this chapter... I especially liked the idea that JD gets along very well with animals (the scene with Barnabas was so cute, I couldn't help but draw it ಥ‿ಥ). From now on, this is canon for me!))
In the future, I would really like to draw even more fan art for this fanfic, if of course the author doesn't mind and I have enough time...)
