KINGER HATED BUGS BUT HIS WIFE WAS INTO ENTOMOLOGY AND HE LIKED BUGS BECAUSE OF HER I'M GOING TO BE SICK

[attleboy]

i thought too hard about insect motifs got a little silly and made... a lot lmao these versions of the characters are from @sm-baby's amazing digital carnival au!! full images and rambling about insect choices are gonna get stuck under the cut... it'll be a bit long and i will be putting photos of real bugs down there so be mindful

pomni: "butterfly"

inspirational species are black swallowtails mostly for the shape, and malay red harlequins mostly for the pattern

carnival pomni's actually the one that kickstarted this whole set... i drew her hat in a way that reminded me of butterflies, went "wait...", then i fully leaned into it :)

jax: "centipede"

there was no specific species for jax. without being able to use color, they were too similar to pick any out... i have included a giant centipede just for reference though since it was mainly larger centipedes i used for inspiration

anddd there's a little bonus sketch for how pre-sentience jax might've looked with a centipede outfit... he gets a bug scarf and some goggles!

ragatha: "ladybug"

inspirational species was the twice-stabbed ladybug chosen because the inverted color scheme looked the best out of all the ones i tried, and also because it's a metal name and we know ragatha's good with a knife... stabby stab... i did add more than two spots to the dress though, it just looks cooler lol

gangle: "spider"

inspiration was the spinybacked orb weaver which i was absolutely ecstatic to find because come on that is the perfect spider for gangle like look at it!! it looks like her mask, it's got red, it's got gold on the limbs, literally twinning

zooble: "mantis"

inspiration was the spiny flower mantis which, like with gangle, i feel is pretty much perfect for zooble... they come in many colors (including pink), have abstract patterns, and it gave me the excuse to cover zooble in spikes :D fun

and no kaufmo because i'm lazy and he's dead (sorry kaufmo fans but am i wrong), and the rest don't have bug names that i know of?

i still want to draw the carnival characters in their regular looks sometime, i just got really really inspired by the idea of secret skins and bug-themed outfits and went a liiittle haywire :P

anyways if you read all that you're a real one and you've got too much time on your hands... if you didn't, i understand, i get wordy, sorry :'D okay i think that's all byeee

How can I comment on this.

[puppycharmz]

*taps microphone* sorry if this has already been asked but. are queenie and the moon swapped.

YOU. I WAS STUCK ON WHAT TO THEME CAINE AFTER BUT YOU HELPED. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH QUEENIE YOU DID IT. YOU SOLVED THE PROBLEM...

anyways this is swap caine and moon! sun is there but I haven't. touched them yet. whoops.

caine is prone to random bouts of just sleeping standing up (more prominent after moons abstraction bc like queenie she abstracts :( ), which results in those moments of sudden surprise/being startled like kinger bc he just. wakes up and there's someone there! he's like canon kinger but more silly when he's more aware (like he tries cracking jokes that don't land. he's coping let him cope)

moon is more of the softer, tamer side to the duo. she kinda was the only one that laughed at caines jokes and hung around even when he was being a bit crazy about ...whatever. she liked to do a lot of crafts in her spare time away from any circus activities :) buuutttt like queenie. she couldn't take it :(

in my head I am finding it hard to see them together like. full send so for now they're good friends but we'll see if that changes for me

Guess who watched The Amazing Digital Circus~ :3

I got inspired by @sm-baby 's Carnival AU to make my own swap au :3 (I think him and Ragatha would get along nicely :3)

Kinger swaps with Pomni due to their shared medieval themes (Pomni being a Jester and Kinger being a King) and because I thought it'd be fun if the newest and oldest members swapped :3 (Pomni is a Pawn Chess Piece in this au :3)

I imagine Kinger's robe works similarly to Mario's hat in some games? Where if the hat is away from him, Mario will be dizzy? I might be misrembering, but that's what happens if Kinger's robe is away from him. He can take it off just fine, he just needs to be touching it to keep the dizzy effect away :3

Below the cut are the flats and Kinger's first pass design :3
