The penultimate theme for my pets' Halloween costumes... hyper specific references? This was a weird category but it's the only way I could group them. In this group is blockedworld, Crumbeard, KeithMarsh, and Xorrand! The explanations are long and weird so they're below the cut.
Block was created primarily so I could use his petpage for a parody of Jelly World, any links to which are (were?) blocked on the NeoBoards because obviously Jelly World doesn't exist. While the petpage is ancient and mostly broken, I still have some of the original image files to get an idea of how "creative" I was:
So, Block's Halloween theme is... blocks.
Crumbeard's costume is also based on old art, my original comics of him, seen best (though not the best drawing quality) in my second Christmas comic. I don't know why I drew him in clothes that were tattered, but I guess that's what I thought pirates looked like?
Keith's is even more esoteric. I mentioned in the first post about him that he originated in an Ace Attorney pastiche, which means that in accordance with the series's naming conventions his name had some sort of punny meaning. Except I couldn't remember it, so I searched my old forum to find out. Apparently, his name is a combination of the TV Trope Keet and the last name of the discoverer of the Apatosaurus, Othniel Charles Marsh. So I had to figure out how to make a childlike, feminine version of this guy:
...I did my best.
Xorrand's design is based on an old, self-frozen side account. Like the dr_lupe account, it was designed to be an account of another OC, but I didn't really have any attachment to the pets so I self-froze so I could have more pet space on an account whose name I liked more at the time. That account (and OC) was named Glitchio, a researcher of glitches whose body was so riddled with glitchy radiation that he had to wear a protective suit at all times to stop the radiation from leaking out and corrupting the world around him. ...He was a weird character.
