This blog was created to house my projects while I explore the more creative aspects of being active in a fandom after years of forcing myself to shove it all down into a quiet little hole out of quiet paranoia.
I can almost guarantee you won’t find my main gallery, but feel free to shoot me a ping with your guesses if you think you can recognize the style! I’m experimenting with different vibes and techniques, so I’m curious to see if my artistic thumbprint of my normal style shines through!
This endeavor started originally as one AU that branched into three ‘arc’ books and two offshoot ‘what if alternative reality’ side books, and has since then expanded into currently five different AUs to explore character and plot development techniques while giving each their own unique signature feeling.
!!! NOTE !!!
Posts will be somewhat sporadic due to running a full-time job, and brewing the soups that form the base of my AU stories.

--!! NOTICE !!--
This blog is managed by an ADULT, and as such my content will tend to reflect that nature in regards to themes of horror (robotic/humanoid/other), injury, and suggestive topics within the Teen Rating guidelines.
While I will primarily maintain this blog as strictly SFW, with my Bluesky housing my more exploratory works, I will do my best to provide warning tags and tuck the related images under a cut to allow those who do not wish to see such works to comfortably skip over them.

⫸ Breakroom ⫷
-In Concepting w/ Plot drafting -
Not so much a dedicated story, but rather a blog-centric behind-the-scenes style interactive element with the Ask feature - where characters from my FNAF AUs can be engaged as if they’re actors for their respective stories in a multiverse-style collective, and have their own flavor of non-AU-canon shenanigans from sharing the same roof in the process. Their out-of-story personalities may not always match their in-story personas.

-In Concepting w/ Plot Drafting -
What if.. the crew were a little less open in their attachment, a little more dangerous, able to blend between forms truly monstrous and walking among the unsuspecting...
And a reclusive human living on the outskirts finds out what happens when they and their befriended guardian draw the curiosity of shadowed eyes drifting through town in search of new territory.
Still alive! Just been nose-to-the-grinding-wheel working on refsheet(s) in preparation for Artfight, and figured I could give a little teaser sneak-peek at the next character I'm working on bringing out of the mindscape!
- I'm not anticipating much action during July with only two characters I consider polished enough to have available on that platform, but may at least attempt to meet a set goal for myself in producing some pieces during the event!
Thank you again for all the new follows and the reblogs with Seo's pieces! I was absolutely not anticipating those to explode the way they did in posts! Here's hoping the rest of the Breakroom crew, and the other AUs, can find as warm a welcome as they graduate beyond hastily scrawled words carefully stuffed into dedicated binders and sketches!
Hooollly cow I was not expecting the response these goobers got on just their vibe sketch alone! Needed to pause my ref work to give them a taste of what it'd be like in the Breakroom-verse they're moving into.
... They don't seem sure what to make of this strange place yet...
Artist note - I'm still figuring out how I want their juncture to look, so bear with me a bit as their design gets tweaked around until they settle!
Caption Quote - "A duo is a dynamic - And a trio is a troupe." - Seo
Was perusing Toyhouse while fighting with production-freeze chewing over a ref for a Breakroom character, and found this amalgam of a lad being offered up and looking a bit lonely.
So, I quickly snapped them up as fast as I could manage, because the brain started firing on the idea of an Eclipse being more of a warped amalgam of Sun and Moon with three distinct heads sharing a single body.
Their original name is Eclipseo, which I will leave as is and refer to them by the nickname of 'Seo' when talking about them!
This piece is what I've been calling a Vibe Card, where it's a loose and rough sketch on an index card in pen to capture the essence of the character, while also exploring potential tweaks and glow-up elements where it seems it would benefit the character. A few folks on a server I lurk in are interested in them, so I wanted to do a little pulse check here to see if it's something viable in the long run.
... I also seem to be perpetually drawn to characters with four arms... Despite the fact there are only a handful in my AUs that actually have four arms by design... ironically...
They're still more or less gelling in the backburner as to who/what they want to be, but overall vibe is forest-dwelling cryptid hermit who still remembers that it's considered Polite in cultured society to bring a baked good in return for being offered shelter from the rain for the night. They make a mean lemon poppy-seed bread it seems.
Plus bonus colored variant! Most of their original colors are kept on the design more or less in the same spots, with a few cohesion adjustments to better adapt them for my style.
Something a little more sketchy than my last few posts. Not FNAF based, but he could potentially be adapted if he'll fit in one of my AUs.
Basically had a frustrating day at work, and was itching to sketch for a change with my old trusty ballpoint pen with this lad coiled up in my brain after being invited to an rp project with horror-themed animatronics.
So.. Meet Terellian! He's a boa-based lad who may or may not have issues with humans and touch in general from his prior role before joining the year-round haunted attraction. Won't stop him from finding ways to trap the guests who blunder into his room to make them question setting foot in a jungle afterwards.
A little about Snake-Boi -
- Mass is more about his end length - Vents are not out of his range of access if determined enough.
- Features treads for general terrain management, spoked wheels that deploy for climbing assistance, and general use of bodily strength to imitate the snake he's modeled after.
- Tongue, heat pits, and head spines are specialized sensors for heat, air pressure, vibrations, and chemo-reception. There is no hiding from him.
- Segmented body is covered in silicone skin per section, with a sub-layer of dense rubber to keep inner workings sealed when flexed.
- Is a conditioned recluse - has to trust an individual to be coaxed out of his crafted corner of sanctuary where he keeps live plants for regrounding himself after each shift.
- Features a fog system he can 'exhale' to amp up the tension-factor in the room when he starts moving in for the scare.
- Is capable of constricting his lower half of his tail around guests, and has caused several instances of cracked limbs and ribs during his early months of learning just how hard to... grip...
- Tends to favor action over spoken promises, and chooses his own words carefully out of ingrained habit.
- Has a tendency to blankly stare when he perceives a staff or other bot is being absolutely ridiculous in his view, or he has yet to become acquainted properly upon sudden approach.
Phouuufff, this man.. this man took me about a month to draft up, but he was worth every pixel to bring him to life!
Finally, an animatronic that is a proper DCA and not a standalone type, and working closer to getting serious headway done on the AU projects. Little.. ah.. daunted at how many characters that need to be done with how long this lad took, but then again this is only the first full ref. Speed will come with practice.. I hope...
Meet Siren - Pauri's second-in-command for the Breakroom AU household as the resident handyman and chef. Woe to the foolish individual who tampers with his carefully curated kitchen space, lest they find out how effectively he can sharpen his claws on their chassis!
About the Character -
Palette is based off of copper pennies and patina
Approximately 9 ft (274 cm) tall
Can move all arms independently or synced with each other per side as needed.
Sports three rows of semi-mobile rays despite being a fully coded Sun-Type model. He suspects this is for intimidation reasons when handling his wards.
Bears the pronounced canines found in Moon models, but rarely ever brings them to bear in a bite when his claws suffice.
Favors business casual dressage with the use of khakis, flannels, and fleece button-ups.
Typically speaks with a rumble, but only raises his tone in agitation.
Often modifies his own shirts to accommodate his arms. He has yet to find a tailor willing to work with him and keep his whereabouts on the low.
Slitted pupils rarely fully dilate, and more often constrict in agitation.
Sports similar sensors flanking each eye as Pauri to detect light source, and flash when actively recording, low on power, or in override mode.
Nimble and efficient in his movements. Despite his new life he always maintains a degree of readiness.

Next up is Enos, and I'm very much looking forward to breathing life into his design :>
Something I've been prepping on the side to work on when I'm feeling a bit burnt-out from writing and character prep (AKA - Brain refuses to lock in because it's an AuDHD gremlin that needs to have its mental room stuffed to the brim with projects) is randomized prompt designs of animatronic OCs to give away via raffles.
Part of why I'm rigging up the randomizer is mainly to force me to practice doing various body types considering the.... (ATM) Four AUs hogging up a chunk of my desk space and mind of late.... *Cough*...
Any designs that come out of it I plan to give away with small challenges to win them. Later I plan to open up an option for people to order a fully mystery design, or custom-build a design package once I get the system a bit more tweaked and refined. Current plan is to release a few out during the tweaking phase, then reduce posting to about once or twice a month for these guys so they're not eating into AU work >_>
Any guesses what this one is going to be about? :> They were a bit of a struggle to wrap the head around, but hopefully I pulled off their look well enough in the final for their purpose. Funtime theme is not a friendly translation for my style at the moment, but hopefully that'll ease up with practice!
Ironically fitting I'd work on these guys right as a snowstorm barrels through the area!
I was a bit hesitant on committing to their design until I started adding the final touches that made their elements mesh far better than I anticipated! Pairing Funtime (pastel palette, blocky hand style, seams for days, iconic cheek patches, simplified components, etc) with Virtual (glowing elements, rubber/detatched arms, simplified details, etc) for the body type and sub-theme was an interesting challenge that I hopefully pulled off well enough to work.
Initial plan going forward is to have designs like these be a looser form of my polished end style - keeping them ideally easier to render without bogging down too much on time.
---- About the Design ----
The idea behind them is they operate as part of a museum installation that function via VR assisted exhibits to entertain and educate groups of kids during the tour, while doubling as a localized on-site weather broadcast that nearby residences can benefit from for live-feed reports.
Anyways - These guys I'm raffling off to a new home as they don't fit in with any of my current projects!
-RAFFLE-
- This design is going to the wackiest weather story! -
I'll leave the raffle open for five days (Ending 3/1/2026 @ 2 AM EST) before notifying the winner!
Comment to this post if you want a chance to win this lad!

Had originally planned on this being up a little sooner, but a pair of migraines got in my way on my birthday this past Friday - always a fun time!
Anyways! Meet my stand-in Persona for this blog! They'll primarily represent the Creator role in the Breakroom side of things, or when I put up little artist comment snippets or advertisements. I guess you could consider them vaguely as a FNAF-OC?
Some bits about the character!-
Roughly based off a barn owl
Approximately 7.5 ft (229 cm) tall
Can move all arms independently or synced with each other per side as needed.
Tail appendage functions as a fifth hand, but the tips are usually retracted when not used.
Blue elements glow on their body with a soft light
Favors comfort over style
Soft spoken with a slight hum to their tone
Synthetic faux feathering through their head, torso, upper arm, and most of their legs
Antennae array on head acts as a connection to wireless devices and building systems
Sensors flanking each eye detect light source, and flash when actively recording, low on power, or in override mode.
Dexterous and flexible - likes to curl up in nooks when lost in a good read.
Adding a few close-up images of the two outfit modes, and what her markings look like beneath all that clothing -
Still working on behind the scenes stuff on my end to hopefully start posting more than a few snippets of art here and there this year, but feel free to shoot me any questions for the artist or character in the meantime!
