hi im trying to keep it professional here but may i request you to talk about your thought process/design inspirations behind your Tango? I don't think I've ever loved a Tango more than i love yours

i'm so glad you like him so much!!! he's definitely one of my favourites to draw :D

most of my mcyt designs follow a similar pipeline, where i create a first design that is simple; based on the skin, my impression, and common fanon ideas. then later down the line i throw all of that out the window and shoot them with my patented Creature Gun.

so originally, tango was just A Guy. (see this post for an idea of how he looked) until i woke up one day and decided that he needed to become an absolute fucking critter.

i went into my very first draft of a new design with a few basic ideas that i wanted to follow:

Generally small, but have his clothing/accessories be big

Have the red glasses be a major design element

Be some form of lil critter with a tail, paws, and big ears

Be as shape as possible (this was the most important aspect to me)

Here was my very first pass with those concepts in mind:

More under the cut:

the first thing i realised was that i accidentally inverted the red and black on his outfit, the second thing was that he had come out looking somewhat rodent-like, so i decided to build upon that idea in my second draft, as well as further exaggerating his glasses and proportions:

i liked this much better, but decided he still wasn't shape enough, so after even more stylization, i eventually got to a point where i was happy, and we ended up with the critter of all time!

along the way, i also ended up with a rough idea for what he even was, that being a hybrid of my own made up rodent-adjacent mob that would live in the nether. which i ended up sharing an idea for in this post, thought i'll probably expand further upon the idea in the future.

overall i am insanely happy with how his design turned out, and i'm overjoyed that other people feel the same!

please never hesitate to ask me about my designs/my design process! i have so many thoughts that i'd love to share and a lot of the more fully fleshed out designs have a good amount of concept art that likely won't be seen outside of these sorts of asks.

xisuma: rat (common)

docm: some sort of small bunny or perhaps a rabbit?

cleo: bird of prey. to eat the other ones.

tango: computer mouse

mumbo: black and white snake. on account of the 'stache

evil xisuma: rat, but fancy

gem: wolverine (thanks rel)

jimmy: the escape key off my rgb keyboard (it's an animal trust me)

pearl: angler fish (you know why)

Hello! Are there any rules regarding nsfw/suggestive works or requests?

for now I'd say keep it in line with the general rating of homestuck itself (older teen/ya) i.e. no smut, but suggestiveness/allusions is fine. you can request nsfw in your wishlist but it won't be a guarantee you'd receive it as this is open to all ages. i can add an option to the form about being okay with nsfw requests/fills, and if you DO post a gift that includes nsfw art make sure anything not under a read-more is censored so that it can be reblogged here and that nsfw fic is warned for
