vampírek | 19 | i like to draw my characters.

[vampieri]

new pinned cuz i want to

Hi! I'm Vampik. I post about my ocs and their stories here, ocassionally i draw other things.

I'm an animation student from Czech Republic, I hope to do animation as a job one day! I really like toy soldiers and the color green and collecting toy soldiers and nutcrackers, I have an army!

My blog is mostly full of qna's actually......feel free to check below keep reading to. read more

You may see a lot of green people here...they're part of a story I'm currently mainly focused on called Mortal Escapism! If you like stories theorizing about the afterlife, existential crisises and fantasy settings, you might enjoy it.

You can find an official site for it here! and a side blog here!

I hope to turn it into a web comic one day...for now I share bits and pieces of the story as well as fun facts about the characters.

I'll add more here when I feel the need to I think.

Since Chandler can melt, theoretically, could he start boiling? Also, could you freeze him in his melted state and keep him like that as well..?? 😭

his body reacts the same as a regular candle, and i guess you can boil candles, so yeah.

he can put himself back together in regular temperature but if you do freeze him he will stay like that until the temperature goes back to normal yes

i think. idk im not that educated on the properties of candles HAHA

[vampieri]

Hiii, it's me again unfortunately

A forethought thing, I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LONG. I thought it'd be better to put it in one ask instead of pestering you with a bunch of different asks. Basically this has stuff like head canons and song suggestions for Mortal Escapism.

(Also want to say that if any of these are too important to the lore or you'd just rather not answer feel free to skip them! I know there's a lot 😅).

Head canons:

Regarding that one ask where there's like a swap personality of Chandler and Percival, I feel like swap Chandler would purposely feed misinformation about the human world to the non-human workers that want to know about it. I think that'd be funny. Unless Percival's dementia got passed to Chandler and Percival is the one who remembers everything...? 👀.

I think this is actually confirmed maybe? But I headcanon Percival is better at using technology than Chandler, not to mention their around 10+ year age gap (if that's still canon, I can't remember). Obviously Percival is younger than Chandler but what if they weren't alive at the same time periods? Chandler seems to be from a bit of an older time period I think? And we don't know much about Percy when he was alive but him living in a modern or closer to modern time period would make sense, he seems to speak more in a modern slang way I think and it would also explain how he's better at using technology than Chandler.

Back to the swap au, we know Chandler and Percival would be swapped but what about the others? I was thinking maybe Sylvester and Cameron could be swapped (I like Cameron a lot btw she's cool). Idk about the others.

I think you already did the main-ish gang as animals but for the others Morena would be some kind of freaky, Eldritch deer (so not all that different), Cameron would probably be a lioness?? Maybe? Or some kind of big cat. Two of the other workers are already dogs, the Toymaker (I think that's their name? I'M SORRY MY MEMORY IS AWFUL SOMETIMES) would probably be some kind of animal known for building stuff... Not sure which one though. Idk for the others yet.

Questions for the sillies:

What is everyone's favorite color?

For both Percival and Chandler, did they both arrive in The Limbo at the same time or at separate times? If at separate times, who was there first? For how long? And what was their reaction to another human arriving in The Limbo?

Are any of them interested in art?

What were some hobbies of Percival and Chandler when they were alive? I think you mentioned Chandler used to work on cars occasionally, so was he interested in being a mechanic? Percival may or may not be the same person he used to be, the whole forgetting his entire life thing probably changed him a lot, but if he is still essentially the same as he was when he was alive I'm thinking he probably liked to do something more mischievous like pranks. Maybe even illegal graffiti (but instead of neat art pieces or tagging he just draws really stupid things like dicks to mess with people).

Song suggestions: this one's kind of tough, I go off of very specific things in songs sometimes, such as a specific verse or just (sort of) ignoring the lyrics and going off of vibes.

1. Probably any Will Wood song works I would think (there's one called Memento Mori [I think?] And that one would probably work really well)

2. Song about necromancy, can't remember what it's called atm

3. That one song that goes "my body's looking wrong, my body's looking wrong" for Percival and Chandler but specifically Chandler

4. Probably a lot of fnaf songs (yes I saw your last animation lol)

5. Freak? Maybe?

6. This one may be a bit out there but Digital Hallucination

7. Still Feel. "I still feel alive, and it's hopeless, I start to notice" I think the majority of this song is perfect for Percival and Chandler, but that part in particular reminds me of them. Especially when I imagine how they reacted to their new bodies

8. This one is definitely a stretch but An Unhealthy Obsession but SPECIFICALLY for Parasomnia Percival and Chandler and specifically for that brief bit where Chandler is hunting Percival in the last episode. This song is kind of a "romantic" song (in a creepy way) but that is not at all how I think of it when thinking about Percival and Chandler. I think of it as less the "romantic" version of stalking and more the "I am stalking this person because I intend to hurt them and I do not like them" version

There's definitely more songs that I know which would be perfect for Mortal Escapism but I just can't think of them rn

I had a lot more questions but this was already long enough plus I forgot about them (call me Percival for how forgetful I am good lord)

hai, these headcanons are very fun i enjoy them:)

i don't ponder over the swap au too much so I'll let you run wild with it however you want, but chandler being anoying liar is really funny LMAO

Chandler and Percival are from the same time period, Percival is better at adapting to things (in this scenario to technology) because he doesn't have the previous connection to his life like Chandler does. And Perci is just better at adapting to new situations in general.

if there's anyone from the modern era it's Šárka (she passed around mid 2010s).

i thought of Cami being one of those really awesome big emo horses but her being a big cat is also rlly cool i could see that...:)

I see the Workermaker as a weird bug tbh. just a critter.

Not sure about everyones favorite colors but Chandler and Sylvester both like warm tones. (Sylvester I'm thinking yellow specifically)

Perci feels like he'd like those neon bright colors.

Sally likes orange because orange juice.

Šárka's is blue.

Percival has been longer in Limbo than Chandler. You can't tell the time in Limbo but he's been there longer for a whiiilleee.

Sylvester would be interested in art:) he likes human-made creations of all sort. He'd love comic books. Not sure if he'd be good at actually making it though.

Šárka Is an art kid! She loved drawing. (she drew a lot of anime & magical girls but don't tell anyone)

Chandler liked to dabble in car stuff yeah, but he wasn't too passionate about it considering his family was mostly pressuring him into being knowledgeable about mechanics.

He was also skilled with a lot of craftsmanship but he was a bum that didn't enjoy or really have time for hobbies related to it because he was too busy smoking cigs or whatever.

Percival was a very different person than he is now. He wouldn't graffiti dicks back then but he totally would now if he could.

Šárka liked all sorts of crafts too, she also tried to learn the piano at some point, she was good for a starter. However she mostly spent her time studying astronomy! She had a telescope and liked to look at the stars.

I'm bad with songs, but I'll try to look into these!

I swear i'll get a playlist going someday guys i swearrr.

thank you for the ask, had a fun time pondering over these

[vampieri]

happy pride month!!!

[vampieri]

it was yesterday but i forgot to post this here. happy birthday to off my most treasured!!! everyone play off. i owe this game so much

[vampieri]

anyways ive been returning to my roots of scp........the ancient scrolls called my name i was disgustingly obsessed with it when i was like 11.

my 2 scientist girls im hoping to start drawing little comic bits with for fun.

[vampieri]

Hello! Yeah.. More questions.. Im probably turning into a nagger rn, but I just can't calm my damn mind. Before asking my questions, I want to say that I just hope that the uni doom won't be that terrible, so don't give up! And you don't have to answer all of my questions if your tired or smth like that. Rest is more important.

Well, going to the questions now. If I remember correctly, you said that you were going to make a comic about Mortal Escapism, when are you planning to start developing it? Or are you still not quite sure about it? What kind of ice cream would Chandler and Sylvester like? (I just randomly thought of that, cuz they work a lot, so they deserve smth as a reward ig) And I've seen that you confirmed that Chandler is Czech, so does that mean that other characters are also Czech? Or do all of them just understand Czech but speak English or something???

Ig that's all for now, Im curious about your pronouns tho, but I don't want to ask about that, since I wrote too much already and Im going insane. *throws cucumbers and runs away*

thank you for the well wishes!

im still really unsure, depends on how said uni grind goes, i've been entering new life stages and i'm still finding my footing with where it's taking me right now so yeah. im turning 20 next month. shudders.

i really cant tell an estimated date, i did want to try and spend time actually sitting down to start properly writing out the story arcs in summer but aghh!!! we'll see!! i just like to take it slow and steady.

chandler likes vanilla because he's boring and i think sylvester would like something sweet, like cotton candy :y

and thats a good question lol. considering i have a mixed bag of explicitly czech and more english names for the green folks i'd say dont think about it too hard, they speak english purely just so a wider audience can understand the story. but it is meant to connect more to slavic culture and czechia in general. because i think there's not enough czech based characters and stories and im salty about it

every human cast so far i've had for morscapism is from czechia. and moréna is literally based off of the slavic goddess of death/winter hahahaha.

[vampieri]

Got more questions! Hope you don't mind, cuz I'll keep them coming! Love Eirdis tho, nobody asks enough questions about her lol.

In universe, how do workers get their names? Does Moréna/the Workermaker name them or do they name themselves?

Would Chyenne like pets since she's a dog (or rather, she is dog-like)?

Is there any particular worker Inka likes messing around with the most?

Does Cameron feel dread when around Moréna? Her website bio states that anyone in Moréna's presence would suffer from constant dread. I'm curious if this also applies to Cameron.

They sort of just come into existence with a given name in their head already, Moréna and Workermaker are the ones to also know it right off the bat as well since they're involved in making 'em. There are a few exceptions where Moréna personally assigns names here and there though. (Percival, for example. Considering the other guards are the ones to actually lack any given name whatsover for the most part, she was kind enough to give him some form of identity to cling onto.)

Maybe:) I could imagine her enjoying a good rub on the head.

I used to draw Inka messing with Chandler the most, so him most likely. Cameron is a close second.

Not really! Since she's within Moréna's presence most of the time she has always been more numb to it. Same goes for Workermaker, but they don't really feel anything at all.

[vampieri]

Hello! Yes, I came back for more confirmations, because I'm starting to go insane. Anywayyy, going to the questions, since I don't want to write a whole paragraph. What does Šárka do? Im sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm just kinda confused, since I couldn't find any info. How would characters react if they received a useful gift? (You don't have to write about everyone, but I'm just curious. Though I'm sure that most of them will probably just ignore it, lol) What pronounce do you use? (You don't have to answer this question if you're uncomfortable, I just want to know how to address you properly)

AND I JUST REALIZED THAT THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTION ABOUT MIR AND GALLOWAY WAS LITERALLY WRITTEN ON THEIR REFERENCE SHEETS, I'M STUPID💔💔💔

ok im back here again cracks my knuckles

Šárka has been brought back recently into the story so i don't blame you for not finding anything haha sorry. (her character was a very early concept i took too long to figure out if i should put her back into the storyline or not) Šárka is the protagonist of the story now, she's there to showcase the worldbuilding of the souls and the entirety of limbos system. She's special because she's unable to pass away like others, and her cause of death is a mystery, so she's got a lot of eyes on her from everyone!

i think sylvester is the one to be ecstatic about receiving anything hahaha you could give him something useless and he'd treasure it forever...most of the other workers couldnt care less unfortunately

I use he/him only 👍 i don't mind people using they them if unsure all that much but, now you know!

[vampieri]

Hello Vampiieri, I don’t know how this app works this is the closest button I saw to contacting you, I just saw your comment today from 3 days ago I wanted to apologize and take accountability I stopped drawing and I took down everything I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable I never meant any harm. Farewell

you're okay, thank you for understanding my boundaries it means a lot to me that you could think it over.

please don't stop creating though, i really don't want to kill your passion for art in any means like i said before. i encourage and hope you keep on drawing your own stuff.

Back for more!! As much as I love Cameron, there are other characters I'm invested in and want to know more about. Such as…Eirdis!!!

Can Eirdis actually fly since her scarf/cape resembles wings?

This may sound weird, but can they squeak? Death-head moths squeak when aggravated or stressed. I wondered if Eirdis would do the same when they're upset about something.

What do they do when someone disturbs their work, since we know they don't appreciate it? (P.S I hilariously imagined them literally kicking said person's ass out of their office before going back to what they were doing, even though it's probably out of character)

Last, are they soft? They look like they'd be soft, and I kinda wanna cuddle them, even if they may hate it xD. She's cute.

eirdis appreciation woohoo she cannot fly haha, it was just for the visual resemblance, and i didn't know moths could squeak...it's a cute thought! perchance she could...also i just googled that moth up wow thats one sick ass moth...

Eirdis is the type of person to easily tune out someone that's nagging on their ear most of the time, so they'll ignore you if you linger around in their office, albeit angrily. they also have a general tendency to flat out ignore others if they deem one irrelevant to their job. If you dare mess with something in their office (or them) however they will escort you out immediately and throw a couple insults your way while doing so.

i imagine her face is more squishy than others:)

[vampieri]

Hello! I wanted to say that your story is absolutely interesting and I love all of your characters! (I swear I'm getting obsessed to all of them) Their design is absolutely amazing and tasty (especially since Adelaide is 🥐 shaped). Anyway, getting to the questions ig.. Can Galloway and Mir talk? Or is one of them mute? Cuz I just imagine Mir being mute, but I just want to confirm if I'm right or not. Is there any specific reason on why Chandler was the one becoming a worker at Limbo? Or is it a secret for now?

I guess that's all, because my English sucks. So I just hope that everything is going to be easy for you in the university! Take care!

thank you so much!! i really appreciate it, uni doom starts soon...well not rly but i have to make a lot of preparations early lol theyre both partially mute:) Galloway will mostly use sign language or gesture to talk and Mír speaks in a very hushed and quiet tone if she reallyyy needs to, but she doesn't really have a reason to speak anyway so its incredibly rare.

and i cant tell you that yet! secret

Hello hello, uhm I just wanted to say I really admire you lots!! And your artstyle is very awesome sauce! I’ve never been so deeply fascinated with an artist before, your art brings me lots of joy and inspires me everyday I see it pop up on my feed, I also want to say that your art helped me through a dark time, and right now since I’m struggling with myself. I also want to say that you’ve inspired me so much that you pushed me to make my own little oc’s far more creative than ones I had before I suppose? And I’d also like to ask for some tips like for example what do you use to draw? Like drawing tablet, or something like that, I really admire the way you color too perhaps you can explain a bit? I wish to achieve that a strategy too! I’m sorry I’m talking so much by the way holy yap..but anyways Thank you for sharing your art, you make me really happy

ah this is so sweet..sincerely thank you so much. it always means a lot to me when people send messages like this my way in my askbox, thank you! i hope whatever you're going through will turn out for the best, im very flattered i could provide some comfort, please take care of yourself. i use wacom intuos to draw, it does the job for me well! id recommend it as an easy to manage drawing tablet, i personally like it more than screen tablets so i can prevent posture and back pain, just a tiny bit, my back kills me regularly anyway LOL. colors are something i struggle with, so it always makes me chuckle (in a good way) when people say they like my coloring. honestly i just battle with a lot of blending layers to make the colors fit together, ive also recently started to enjoy gradient maps a lot! theyre very useful for working with greyscale, i use that method for backgrounds for example. the only actual advice i can offer otherwise is just look into color theory like everyone, but at the same time have fun, i like to work smarter not harder.

Your characters and you are wonderful!

I would like to see a short film or a full-fledged cartoon with seasons from you about your characters in the future.

I would be the most devoted fan ;)

SO CUTESS THANK YOU!! i cant promise you guys a cartoon im sorry, its too much for little ol me. but i hope to continue making little personal animations of them whether its silly things or something actually related more to the lore.
