Human hcs again. Various facets of Giblets (he/any) and Mona (she/he) in some other, kinder life.
Elaboration below the cut vvv cw: mentions of character death + dysphoria though i think both are pretty mild
Giblets: I keep going back n forth on if he's better with shorter or longer hair but I like the whole "tufts of unkempt hair = general silhouette of his canon design's face" deal. Either way I'm sure that by the time he entered the worst of his paranoia he cut it short fearing that it'd get caught on something or a would-be assailant would pull on it to get ahold of him. Some shade of genderfluid or gnc or. Not entirely cis man. More masc-ish out of. Convenience? Being used to it? But he has no issue with more androgynous or outright feminine presentation. Ig it comes with being voiced by Kevin McDonald. Pleakley sauntered so Dr. Giblets could trip and fall and die 💜
The more realistic portrait + the edited version would be him at the start of the game -> when you find him. Whatever sleep he had he'd lost. And I like the idea of that 5 o clock shadow for good measure.
+ lil limited palette thing inspired by image44's "pyromania" good song I love KAFU's voice sm BUT I DIGRESS
Mona: Slightly more fem design for her. I hc that she's bigender but closeted,, In a "Psyche I lived bitch"/revival au she'd finally be swayed to present the way she's wanted to all this time. Turns out nearly being wiped off the census by a teen hitman is great motivation for finally deciding to express yourself! Would be a shame if she were the only one of the three given a second chance... ok nah I don't think I have the heart to do that. Jonathan is not dead he just lent his sister his jacket bc she's cold and having a rough day it's all good... the skrendels get to stay together.
Uh Mona does prefer a more feminine presentation but it all feels new to him. He feels a little out of place since he doesn't know exactly how he wants to look + how to "pass" and what he would even pass for. Still wants to be strong and taken seriously but he doesn't want that to necessarily equal being a man 100% of the time. I feel he'd end up somewhere between girly guy and tomboy-ish depending on the day. I also hope with the hair here you see the vision. somewhere between scene and swag era here. remember that? i miss domo :/
Ilya Monakhov is my (almost) new character. According to his story, he encounters other aliens who want to scout and sell Earth's location to the G3 cartel. Ilya manages to deal with them and pick up a couple of gatlians who were forced to travel with these bandits. Ilya decides to go into space with them and try to delay the appearance of new aliens on Earth. He begins a career as a mercenary, and through a series of good circumstances becomes of interest to the G3 cartel. He begins working with the cartel and then becomes close to the Skrendel brothers.
I still don't know how this story ends, but I'm interested in thinking about Ilya's interactions with the bros. More drawings are on the way, I suppose. 🌺
