Some timelines I made of Scream and Candy’s evolutions throughout the years for my DA account! Yeah I don’t think many people know that I made Scream just three years shy of a decade before I even thought about Candy lol
Scream actually started as something of a ‘sona for a project I had going at the time (which is also where the title “Spandex Spaceman” comes from) but kinda fell into the void of my mind once the project didn’t work out. A bit later I ended up revisiting him for an OCT, but it ended up falling through as well. Eventually I decided to “Frankenstein” together a story consisting of old OCs and concepts that I still loved but didn’t know what to do with anymore (which is now the current Spandex Spaceman) and he found himself back in action again, though he’s changed pretty drastically from his original self (at least in personality). While I no longer consider him a ‘sona, I still like projecting onto him; thus the similar body types, sexualities, etc. We’re just completely different in personality XD
As for Candy, he was a “just for fun” sketch that ended up looking appealing to me. Once I fixed him up I wanted to actually use him for something, but wasn’t sure what yet. His identity bounced around a bit starting more or less as a Deadpool ripoff who was a little more insane and violent than needed, even at one point with me thinking of him being a demon to explain his regeneration powers and stuff. He also became a “Deadpool meets Angel Dust” kinda thing for a while, but that’s not what I wanted either. While he still teeters toward the Deadpool/Angel Dust combo, he’s come a long way now that I finally placed him in my Spandex Spaceman universe and hope he continues to grow and become a really fun, interesting character as the story goes by as well!
Really, I hope you guys come to love and care about my characters as much I do, and I can’t wait to see where this takes me!
