An old art of an idea my sib and I had while watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Christmas implies a Jesus figure, made in the image of God. But who is God to the Who’s? The one who heard their cries on that speck of dust.
Made a ribbun gift for @vixenvtuber because hearing her talk during stream about being shamed for having fun with a silly ship made me sad. Fandom is supposed to be fun! Go forth, be cringe, be free!
I wanted to have The Doctor and The Prototype as the main antagonists not just to the main cast but to each other.
For the Prototype, I wanted a more organic design since I thought it would be interesting to have the Prototype control corpses through parasitic means. Since many of the toys are made of cloth, it reminded me of cloth-eating moths, and how they lay their eggs in clothing and the larvae eat their way out, so that was my inspiration. Very Last of Us vibes.
For the Doctor, I really preferred his concept design, so leaned more on that. I liked the idea of Doctor being the uploaded consciousness of Dr. Sawyer that became a force of his own, with inspirations from characters like AM and Auto. He’s still got eyes everywhere.
These were really fun to work on and I’m excited to take steps to learn how to make it into a comic soon!
I LOVE YOUR POPPY PLAYTIME DESIGNS, is it an Au , cuz if so,
im gonna eat ur art :>
Thank yoooouu! It is an AU! I wanted to focus more on the survival aspect for the toys and several themes through the characters. (Don't worry, no children were harmed in the making of this AU. XD)
My ultimate goal is to make this a comic series cause I think it would be a lot of fun and a great way to keep improving my art! :D
Next up on my list are the main villians: The Doctor and The Prototype! Prototype will be interesting to play with design wise!
Okay! These took a bit, but here’s the concept art of the main cast of the Poppy Playtime AU I’m working on! I love the characters in Poppy Playtime, but I’ve personal gripes with the game’s writing, so yay for fanfic! I really want to make this into a comic series cause I think it’ll be fun! I’ll make the villains in another post, but right now it’s the main group.
Info and pics below!
So, instead of using children, (not a fan of that trope in general), the toys were brought to life artificially through the poppy flowers, similar to how homunculi are brought to life through the Philosopher’s stone. They were created as free labor and spectacle for the factory and varied in levels of intelligence, (the big body mascots are at adult human intelligence, while the Littles are on par with kids. The less humanoid mascots, like Yarnaby or the dinosaur toys, are more like animals). Unfortunately, the factory keeps an iron grip on the toys and treats them as less than.
The Prototype was the first successful being brought to life, and all experiments were done first through the Prototype. After years of mistreatment, the Prototype and his allies attacked the Playtime Co. staff, leading to many deaths. Any remaining toys, regardless if they were involved in the attack, were sealed away and the factory was abandoned.
Cut to when the story starts. A human, Maddie, manages to break into the factory looking for any scrap to sell. She finds herself caught in the middle of a conflict between the Prototype, the Doctor, (more on him later), and the last remaining toys, led by Poppy.
Maddie: The young woman who breaks into the factory. Has a plethora of tools on her for safe exploration.
Poppy: Leader of the remaining toys. Travels mainly through the vents and uses a pellet gun to snipe enemies. Is gone a lot.
Doey: Protector of Safe Haven. Though Poppy is technically the leader, Doey has been juggling most of the day to day, making sure Safe Haven is supplied and safe. Keeps fists wrapped for sturdier hits.
Kissy: Protector of Safe Haven. Keeps spirits up and provides comfort. Uses a talk box to communicate, though can only do one word at a time. Tougher than she looks.
DogDay and Catnap: The last of the mascot Smiling Critters. DogDay is the main medic of Safe Haven. He also is the main caretaker for CatNap, who was severely injured in a previous altercation. CatNap keeps a ventilator on to protect others from his red smoke. Will only deploy it when needed as it is physically taxing on him.
The mascots are in charge of the care of the remaining Littles
