Have you read Tangotek Evil Incorporated by onawhimsicot?

Are you a fan of Secret Life Roomies?

Do you like reading about fire, waffles, or god-awful commutes?

If the answer to any of those three questions is yes, consider checking out the fic I wrote for the MCYT Recursive 2025 exchange! It’s nearly thirty thousand words of vigilantes who must face not only a surprisingly evasive cult leader but also the worst threat of them all: their civilian responsibilities.

FINALLY @onawhimsicot 's awesome Life Series Team Rancher Superhero AU fic, Tangotek Evil Incorporated is posted and I get to share my initial concept art for Dr. Blaze and Canary respectively!

if anyone makes fanart of TTEI, you're welcome to use my designs with credit or make your own!! There's nothing more superhero comic than every artist doing their own take <3

I've loved seeing Cadence's event artists takes on their outfits they're SO GOOD. I love seeing all the different designs!!! PLEASE @ me and Cadence I promise you, we'd love to see it <333 Also my ask box is always open if you want to chat!

I'm definitely going to be making more polished designs and drawing for this universe in the future (superhero aus my beloved I had SO much fun designing them)!

but for now, if you also love character design, have way too many thoughts about Ranchers and hero/villain costumes like me, and 3 pages wasn't enough, buckle up and enjoy my extra ramble under the cut:

EXTRA:

When Cadence asked me to help design their outfits, the request boiled down to "i just need ideas, you don't have to like draw a whole Thing" but I'm so Normal about my blorbos so uh naturally it became A Whole Thing and when I got to Canary I had to frantically hit the brakes on my character design brain from making him too cool

Tango's design came easy, Canary's outfit less so. Surprisingly it's kinda hard to make a somewhat on theme but also basic hero outfit jsakfhajskfh

criteria for Canary at the time was a mix of on bird theme but also NOT on theme since he needed to be a bit basic for context of the fic so he WILL be getting a glow up later

We debated giving Canary a gas mask vs a beak-like mask for a long time, the bandana is my compromise while also hitting that Basic vibe. Its also a nod towards my Sheriff!Jimmy design & Ranchers

We have a long history of working on a OC superhero universe (lovingly dubbed soupverse) together, and while I also just think plague doctor vibes are Neat the concept of the beak being a hero/villain mask is partially pulled from my main villain, Crow who is also bird themed (shocking i know)

Canary having a silly jumpsuit was also loosely inspired by Zedaph's high dive Zedvancement skin from his S9 Ep 1!

Tinted lenses to hide your identity my beloved, what if we both had colored tinted lenses and were red and blue coded and were nemeses...haha jk...unless?

Just the other day, Cadence said to me what if Canary wore Uggs and lowkey he might asjkfhaksjf

Parrot, while not depicted eventually got summed up to Aviator vibes and obviously Canary had to match

A lot of this reference sheet was originally scrawled in my notes app and generally in my head. I cleaned it up for the event so while I'm sorry it's so messy, it was worse originally LOL

hi hi hello i am here to ask 11 and 18 for the ask game

!! Hi vivi!! o/ :D

18) are you satisfied with the attention your art usually gets

tbh not really, i'm a very small and slow artist with too many grand projects but i love the validation and dreamily think about being some kind of tumblr famous someday. i've had some outliers this year (like aufest :3) but posting still feels a bit like throwing darts at the stars. Mostly tho, I'm very glad for what i do get. and as much as I'd love to be the kind of artist whose art people go feral over, i can see why most of my posted work isn't that yet

So no i'm not, in like a 'I wanna get better at art' kinda way y'know? i'll keep making art in my tiny corner of the internet bc like what am i gonna do, not share the brainrot? i would Simply Explode if i didnt

11) show us the last thing you drew, be it a finished piece or a small doodle

I hope you enjoy these TTEI Wraith and Menace design sketches that made me laugh so hard while drawing and still cracks me up, their genre difference is off the charts
