#soaring stripes

[mscyclops]

Since I drew Topaz, I figured that meant I was going to have to draw Roary…and if you follow me on TikTok, you know that every time I’ve tried to draw this dude, I end up crashing out because I cannot seem to get him right for the life of me but yk what mama ain’t raise no quitter.

Except for the time I dropped out of that one class but that was a matter of seeing how long it would take for me to reach my last straw and that last straw was reached.

I discovered that listening to Markiplier play Minecraft helped keep me calm because it made me feel like I wasn’t the only one suffering to do something that should actually be really easy.

ANYWHOO you can see what features Tilly got from him. Obviously the eyes and she also has the same stripe pattern on her head. I forgot to give bro brows but he has the same dark outline Tilly has around her eye.

Young Rosco really looked at this dude on the streets and was like “I bet I could get away with robbing his wife”(he probably could have, Roary is actually a huge pushover and also Rosco was like 14 so there was no way in Hell Roary would have done anything to hurt Rosco).

Shoutout to Myth!Cuphead for giving me the confidence(feeing into me delusion) that I could draw abs and ripped arms bc I actually don’t know how I did this. Like I actually don’t know HOW I did this??

Also looking up costume inspo was such a pain. I pretty much threw a bit of everything I was able to find together. Him and Topaz show a lot of skin/fur(?) with their costumes but they’re called the Soaring Stripes. Can’t really cover up their stripes, yk?

Can’t believe I drew this man just to kill him off 8 years before the story starts lmao UGH OHOHLFLH

Sometimes I write things and then draw them and realize “Wow. That’s NOT subtle at all,”

In their defense, they haven’t canonically worn these “disguises” since Halloween, but they’re going to have to walk out like this EVENTUALLY to avoid drawing attention to themselves…yk, bc they still have a gang of hitmen out there looking for them

Yeahhh they don’t look suspicious at all.

Totally wouldn’t be able to tell they’re on a Missing poster. More like a wanted poster 😫

Boris is like 4-5 years older than Tills but Rosco’s just trying to get her to make friends since her first friend around her age sort of…dies. Lol

Evolution of a juggling raccoon

He’s so CHOPPED OMG this also ALMOST became lost media bc I had it saved on Am*no. I went back and saved it before the app shut down but for SOME REASON my iPad DELETED my Batim oc’s…ONLY MY BATIM OC’S but I got this one back out of luck

This was drawn maybe 2-3 years later? He’s cute

And then this is now

Or ig for him that’s like…6-7 years ago. Look at the little dude he’s supposed to be he,d up by his dad but I didn’t have the energy to draw Roary smh

[mscyclops]

Before drawing this I told myself not to take it seriously and I still ended up crying because it didn’t look the way I wanted it to…it was one of those nights smh

I didn’t realize how similar that raccoon looked to Rosco and figured yk what? Let’s give the random raccoon thief some lore…unless he already has lore then I’ll completely scrap the idea but for now he’s Rosco’s long lost younger sibling.

I just thought the conversation would be funny to me but very awkward for Rosco.

Bendy: Your bro pulled a knife on mine.

Mugman: and then I crushed his hand.

Rosco: Idk why you’re telling ME i don’t know this ki—-wait why he lowkey look like me?

The end is him realizing his lore’s still going

So cute! I hope she isn’t being tormented in a lucid nightmare. I hope she isn’t being threatened that, if she continues to act like, yk, a child bc she’s a child, her brother will end up dying from the Ink illness! I hope she isn’t being emotionally manipulated by one of her only friends and I SURE hope she doesn’t have her journal stolen from her, the only thing that, not only does she use to communicate with others, but offers her great comfort.

I hope nothing like that happens. ESPECIALLY not after this super cute and innocent moment!

I felt like giving them five fingers I think

[mscyclops]

I finally redrew this

Because Rosco’s design changed drastically, this doesn’t really fit Tilly’s personality and Oswald looksssss…

Eh

It’s so funny seeing how much shorter Rosco got lmao. Tilly’s pretty shy so…yeahhh she’s not running up and hugging strangers. Especially right now. Also I know Oswald has a scar I just can’t remember where it is on his ear 😭

[mscyclops]

In a world where Rosco didn’t get the Ink Illness…they’d still end up having to run from a gang of Wildcats but I mean they’d have somewhat of a normal life before 🤷‍♀️

Felix would def be Tilly’s “Elvis”. I should’ve had her reading one of his books but I didn’t think about it until literally right now smh

“Oh I’m gonna stuff you in the blender, push purée then bake you into a pie and feed it to the social worker! And when he says “Mm! This is great! What’s your secret?” I’M GONNA SAY—!”

“Love 🫶 and…nurturing?✨✨??”
