#nmonarch redesigns

[nightmaremonarch]

what we think abt the wind waker design chat

[nightmaremonarch]

finally made a william design im happy with!!!! design explanations beeelloowww!! beeteedubs if you want to check out my other redesigns ive done, i got circus baby, funtime foxy, funtime freddy, and ballora!!

unlike the sister location designs i aint got much to say about this one!! i like to think will’s a sharp featured, put together man. definitely outwardly charismatic!! how would he be able to keep a business for children going if he wasn’t a little silly??

i kinda combined elements from matthew lillard afton and books afton? so. glasses n stubble. he’d probably prefer to be freshly shaven, but who has time for that!!! not mr “i got murder robots to build!”

as the timeline progresses, i feel like will would get progressively less caring of his appearance. more stubble, messy hair, darker clothes… his priorities have changed.

another thing id like to add is about his smile!!! william has a very distinct smile in pretty much any way he’s depicted. i needed to!! keep that!!!! i also like to think the smile runs in the family. eliz and michael deffo have that stupid gummy smile. (cc did NOT get the Afton Smile(TM))

anywho. That’s all!!! Let me know if you want to see any other characters designed or redesigned!! I love input from u guys,,,,,

i made a bunch of pfps of my majoras mask designs for a wack ass DnD homebrew campaign. feel free to use em as long as u give credit <3

here are the design explanations!! because ive never posted the mask designs before!! sorry if this post is disorganized im in the process of. Exploding.

link design notes: only thing i added is a white streak to the hair because im a firm believer in stress changed hair color

deku link: other deku’s have leaf hair. so deku link has leaf hair

zora link: mikau had sick ass tattoos. shoulda kept em. also i made zora link look more like modern day zora’s

goron link: again, sick tattoos. also made em kinda lizard-y. more rocky. i like to think gorons just look like rocks if they curl up into a ball so they got a rocky back… i guess i kinda picture gorons as weird rocky lizard hedgehogs

Ok. That’s all. Feel free to use the designs and pfp’s. Fierce Deity tomorrow. hhguugg

circus baby redesign! i redesigned every canon sister location animatronic except ennard and the little freaks (biddybabs n minirinas) so go check out my previous redesigns! feel free to use this with credit :)

if you want to see more fnaf redesigns let me know! now onto the explanationnn

Ok. So of all the redesigns. circus baby's deffo took the longest. the others each took around ~5 hours and circus baby's took. ten. mostly because of the excessive amount of detail i gave her. she's the main character! she needed way more detail!

so. anyways! i made her much more clowny! her name is circus baby, and her original design was barely a clown besides the face and the shoes!! so i upped it by a thousand, and now she's much more circus-y! she also needed a fun hat because i think the clown hat is very important and essential. for everything.

along with that she's covered in glitter! how r u gonna have a voice line of hers be "i was covered in glitter" and NOT cover her in glitter! so now? all her clothes sparkle!

out of all the funtimes i think her and funtime freddy are the largest because they both have to be proportional to their large internal systems, funtime freddy having the storage tank and circus baby having her "ice cream" machine. so for funzies and be she's so large her eyes r up really high!! cause.. nobody's gonna be viewing her from head on. so if she looks down at some kid or smthn, she looks more normal!!

like the other funtimes she still has all her original features!! i didn't know how to show an emergency stop thing though so she still has that, but it's probably. like. a button or something somewhere. also the tips of her fingers are the balloon makers !!

she also has a lot details that are really hard to see but like.. i thought they'd be fun to add!! one of those is sliver of blue in her eyes as a reference to her original eye color :)

her hair, like ballora's, is synthetic cause it adds more movement! and her most of her clothes are real. her hands, legs, and feet are rubber though.. so the gloves and socks are not real :( the ruffles on every part of her outfit were also very important and very necessary to the fnaf lore and not just be i like drawing ruffles!!

so inside her internal compartment are a supply of balloons, cake perfume (“i smelled like birthday cake”), ice cream, ice cream cones, an ice cream holder, and the scooper. to stay inside the scoopers all folded up in there like a really painful jack-in-the-box, so the internal compartment is really cramped and does not leave much room for anything else. it's kinda more a "murk on sight" thing rather than a "kill and contain" like funtime freddy because there simply isn't enough room for storing anything else.

also while i was making this i was thinking of a scrap baby design to maybe create in the future, but im probably not going to 😭😭 but. Scrap babies hair would be yarn and her face would be paper plates or something cause she raided a craft store. Idk where she got the roller skates but in this au scrap baby robbed a craft store.

Anywho! that's all for the sister location redesigns!! if anyone has any questions or wants to see other characters in this au Imk!! i love requests and i will answer the questions to the best of my ability!!

[nightmaremonarch]

ballora redesign!!! feel free to use the redesign (w credit pls :o]) long explanation below!!! rest of the sister location animatronics coming later, lmk if u guys wanna see any more redesigns :)

imo the sister location animatronics were WAY too sleek for the period of time they were meant to originate in. unlike the previous games, they didn't have that grungy-spooky-stinky feel and just felt more…. sci-fi than anything.. which didn’t make sense when sister location came out, but is clearly the direction fnaf is going in….. so anyways!! here's where the redesign comes in!

(also apologies if the "no support layer" thing doesn't make sense, lol, that's referencing my reference sheet i made a while ago for my redesigned au thing!! ill make another one in the future)

anyways!! in this au, unlike the rest of the animatronics, all the sister location animatronics are made of rubber! the wires inside are for the purpose of not only making the rubber feel more realistic when it's pressed, but bulking up the interior of the animatronics. i feel like afton takes a more realistic and kinda wrinkly approach to animatronics so all the animatronics are less cartoony than the ones he & henry (or just henry) made.

anyways, to add to realism, ballora's clothes are real (except the shoes) and she can actually walk! i know in an obscure steam comment he said she walks around on a track or something but if they're rented out where's anybody gonna get the track??? so. chunky but walkable feet (horrifying statement). YIPPEE!!

the bun on her head is also synthetic hair because i think that's more fun and the silly disguise pins (or whatever they are) are more naturally integrated into her design.

there's also the thing with the face plates being missing... so! controversial but i think they're ugly and if i were a kid i would've shat my pants it i saw their platey asses! so instead i replaced it with a simple two face plate system + hinge joint combo so maintenance on them would be easier, because, you know, they're rubber. i didn't want to add too many because just one would work!! i know it's an iconic part of the design so i had to keep it while also incorporating it into the redesign :) she's still got all her original functions, the au's only changing the appearance of the animatronics.

all that stated im not an engineer. im just silly. so if anything doesn't make sense mechanical wise. Oh well. i made all the redesigns a LONG WHILE AGO so there are some things i would change, but. i needed to get these out. lol. anyways!! posting the rest of the designs later!!

[nightmaremonarch]

so… im normal, obviously…

Anyways. I have a general idea on how every part of the FNaF (and subsequent related media) animatronics work. The one thing that tends to be a reach in my brain is ANIMATRONICS WALKING.

so here’s my theory/redesign on how this works!!!

(warning, this is a brain dump i wrote at midnight, so it may not be fully coherent! additionally, im not a mechanic nor do i have any mechanic/engineering experience. i just likea da robot)

i find the walking a bit hard to make realistic. around the 1980’s larger animatronics weren’t walking at all, and we’re only recently starting to make good walking robots. historically animatronics have been held in place via stands… so.

with walking, there are a lot of things to be considered. technology constraints, movement systems, balance, etc etc.

for technology constraints and movement systems, we have to look at how animatronics of this time typically function. they are powered by hydraulics (bursts of air), which requires gas and gas canisters. the mechanics of the hydraulics are connected to a computer, which up until recently (when chuck e cheese got rid of EVERY SINGLE ANIMATRONIC 😐) used pre-programmed floppy disks to run their movement.

a walking animatronic (powered by hydraulics, which is a technology constraint of the time) would need all of this to be INTERNAL. so along with all the other internal stuff like the endoskeleton, support layer (typical for more period accurate animatronics), hydraulics, you’re also adding a COMPUTER and a GAS CANISTER. this would, of course, make the animatronics quite heavy.

with these constraints in mind, here’s how i think walking would work. first, the animatronic would need to have its weight redistributed. the computer would be in the lower chest near the pelvic region, since computers are Heavy and it needs as much support and room as it can get.* the gas canisters would either just be stored in the legs, or both the arms and legs, though the latter might result in it being more top heavy which is not what we want.

*additionally, animatronics are large, and children (the target audience) are small. if they have an internal sound system, the sound system would likely come from the computer as well, which basically puts the sound at a child’s level, which adds to the benefit of it being lower in the body.

we need the weight evenly distributed so it can properly balance. it would be easy to just give it wheels or have it shuffle without picking up its feet, but we something that can WALK. so. you know what ill just make a diagram of my conclusion

thank you freddy!

now. this may seem like a simple conclusion. but it took a while for my brain to accept it since it had to consider Every Single Other Factor Beforehand. For Example:

1. how the joints work (the knee, pelvis, abdomen, and ankle are sliding joints, i think is what they’re called…)

2. how they know where to move (like how an npc moves in a video game. they have a predetermined path coded into their computers, and stop when an obstacle is in front of them)

3. how they return to an idle position (instead of stopping the walking code entirely, they run a different code which brings them back to an idle stance instead of stopping them mid walk, which could leave them off balance)

4. how the hydraulics work (gas and servos that control gas output)

5. things that i could’ve potentially gotten wrong (step four of the diagram when the opposite leg swings up, weight distribution, how joints work, etc etc cuz im not an engineer or a mechanic)

6. alternate solutions (“why not servos for all movement?” unrealistic for 1980’s animatronics. “why not ball joints?” cuz ball joints ain’t gonna work here. “why don’t they have some of these features in game?” scott didn’t do research on how animatronics work in 2014. “why can’t they just be powered by the ghosts?” they can, this is specifically pre-ghost, since it’s implied in fnaf 1 and 2 they were able to walk before being possessed. id imagine being a ghost would just allow for control of electrical impulses, which would make the computer essentially useless since controlling electrical impulses means controlling the movement. the gas canisters would still need to be refilled though!)

Okay. That’s all. Let me know if you want to see more (there is always more) or you want to critique this or if you have any ideas. Love you!!! Bye!!!

funtime freddy redesign! more redesigns coming later!! feel free to use it w credit!! explanation beloooww

i adore funtime freddy. idk if i made it clear with the doodles but he's my silly guy. such a fun and interesting creature. weirdly murderous. This isn't about the design i just rly like funtime freddy. ANYWAYS

due to funtime freddy having a child sized chest cavity i decided my boy needed to be MUCH bigger!! he's a large fella! gotta make room for the devious storage tank!!

also because of that thing unlike ballora and most other animatronics his clothes aren't real!! they are rubber!! for easy tank access!

w his face… i really tried to make him as unhinged as he sounds. if i drew it now it’d probably be more bear like but i made this like. last october…!! oops! so he’s giving modern chucky cheese a little. it’s ok. we move on.

i made bon bon be a Little Fluffier cause that part of its weird little body doesn't move so it can be fluffy! its weird little hands are as gunky as possible cause that creature crawls, like, everywhere? so because of that i think the mini game of bon bon hopping ship off freddy's hand is instead bon bon popping off and crawling away like mad and michael has to snatch the fucker b4 it gets away. So. I suppose the au does change a little more than the designs… cause some of the mini games would be slightly altered. idk if any other mini games will be altered in this au though, probably just the maintenance ones and potentially the springlock one.

anywho. funtime freddy's one of my favorite weirdos. lmk if anyone has any questions about this one ^_^

[nightmaremonarch]

i made a skyward sword link redesign a few months ago n i didn’t like it!!! so here’s a specially dedicated redesign for skyward sword linky :o]

explanations n changes below! please lmk who else you’d want to see redesigned!!

so the original i felt like it had too much negative space… it was too reliant on link’s original outfit, just… colorswapped? and!! that’s not a redesign!! so i fixed it >_<

one of the big main things i wanted to add was environmental significance! id imagine skyloft to be pretty cold, since it’s at such a high elevation (ie a literal floating island) so now. my boy is tightly wrapped!! he’s cozy!

also. i wanted to give him a huge scarf that mimics wings!! i had a whole armor set planned with a ton of wing depictions because id imagine wings (especially loftwings) have MAJOR cultural significance in skyloft… but it was scrapped…!!! i just couldnt get the color scheme to work, and i realized nobody in skyloft has any armor heavier than chainmail. so. instead he gets an alternate outfit and it matches with zelda!!

i didnt draw it but if he had that windsock on his head it’d look more like an aviator cap..!! the windsock doesn’t make sense. im sorry. IT DOESJT MAKE SENSE FOR MOST LINKS AAAGGGHHHH so instead skyward sword link would get a silly aviator cap!!!! ^_^

anyways. that’s all! if u have any recs for redesigns i would love to hear them im so serious
