I just wanna say that I really love the TV and outfit variations you did for Vox! OwO Each of them looks so cool!

I did a couple of variations of my own a long while back! Six of which were done long before the beginning of season 2 and one of which was added when episode 4 came up! >w<

I get that. I also had my own pre-season 2 concept of what 50s era Vox would look like, using the Philco Predicto.

I love your timeline, but I think 70s and 80s should be flipped around.

From Insta. Not picking on you specifically I just keep getting comments nitpicking my timeline and I need to make it abundantly clear that I have my reasoning for doing what I did.

I kinda like the idea of Sinner-turned Demon Overlords being taller than their human counterparts! It goes to show just how much more monstrous they could look were they to ever breach the human world! There is something about Vox being able to pick up his old mortal self like a soft ball that--UGhhh--DOES things to me in unforeseeable ways! 😤 👌

Okay but lets not forget how massive Vox's full demon form is. Alastor is very small compared to him, and thats with him being on the taller side for Sinners AND nearly in his own full demon form. Demon Vox is just big.

Though he does seem to shrink back to his usual size once Alastor has the advantage and starts ripping cords off of him. Perhaps those cables power his demon form or smth idk.

I adore your Vox art so much! What’re your favourite Vox headcanons?

idk I guess I like when people analyze his behavior and diagnose him with stuff like BPD or NPD. I think it makes sense for him and adds more depth to way he behaves the way he does. I also like to imagine he deals with a lot of chronic neck and back pain from his TV, not just from how heavy an awkward it is, but from the amount of times he's likely removed and replaced his head. I also like to HC him as having epilepsy purely cause of the scene from Season 1

I've also have had this growing idea of Vincent growing up in an emotionally absent family typical of the era he grew up in, as it would explain his inability to empathize and connect with other people properly (Giving strong Bojack Horseman vibes in that regard.) There's a lot I wanna explore in the form of art and fanfics in the future.

What if everything had happened exactly the same way it did in Vincent's life until the TV fell from the wires, except instead of landing on his head, it landed just next to him and pushed him into the water, where he was shocked like everyone else in that crowd was? AKA What do you think Vox might have looked like if everything was the same except he was a regular shark-sinner demon?

Funny thing, im actually in the process of designing a sinner OC based on a member of his cult. (His name is Quincy, say hi.)

I'm basing him heavily on those fish that have translucent skin so you can see their bones, which is meant to mirror the trope of seeing a characters skeleton as they are being electrocuted.

Though Quincy is based on a tiny little aquarium fish called a Neon Rasbora. I imagine if Vincent's death wasn't directly caused by the TV, he'd take on a similar appearance, perhaps with more shark-like features. Perhaps he'd be based more on something like the Ghost Shark.

What program were you using that had the 3D character models/poser?

Clip Studio Paint. It has a built in feature that can load OBJs and FBX files but it also has its own models that you can customize and even draw on.

I have a collection of these Vox models.

Hypothetically speaking, do you think Vox's first TV would have remained fully functional if he had never swapped it for other TVs over the decades, since it's now a part of a sinner's body, or would the components have started breaking over time like any other TV would?

Not entirely sure, but I headcanon that he decides to switch once the TV starts showing age. Burn-in and dead pixels are his worst nightmare.

I had actually planned to make a comic centered around Vox switching heads for the first time because his first TV was breaking down and it was becoming too troublesome to fix it.

A community for collaborative character creation and trading, worldbuilding and roleplay.

This just in, I made a page for Quincy on Toyhouse, for anyone interested.
