Ok so some context: Avid said his next character (after a necromancer) would be a cannibalā¦ which got me thinking! Avid is primarily a PGā PG-13 channel, so hard core cannibalism is probably not the route heās goingā¦ so naturally, my brain decided the next project heāll be working on will make the characters sweet treats that work in bakeries!!
These are some concept design sketches for some different treats Avid could be, and a few bonus characters for fun.
More rambles about designs under the cut
Cinnamon roll Avid was the first go at this that I thought of (see the famous cannibalism jokes about sweet characters eating a cinnamon roll). I really wanted to make sure whatever sweet treat I used got those curly bangs in there, and I add some cinnamon sprinkles on his face as freckles.
Peppermint Avid was my take on a more royal look for Avid, playing up the bad-nonbinary entity energy that fit such a strong flavor. His hair and cloak are made up of peppermint bark while the main two bangs are small peppermint hooks, and Iād like to think his sword is a sharpened peppermint stick.
Recently, Avid has been trending towards more emo/alt fashion (eyeliner, died hair in his skins, just the entirety of his misadventures and mass!sbk skins) so I thought Iād keep to theme and try adding some emo elements with Oreo! His hair would be a grey mess (think blended Oreos) with a bit of cookie sprinkled on the top to match marmās flower placement and give him some more feminine design details. I added his glasses on a whim- not sure if I like it or not but I think it distinguishes him from his other characters so far and adds more roundness to the Oreo theme. His jacket is shaped in a spiked biker jacket, but his spikes are made up of Oreos too.
Marma1ade and Vintage Applesauce just made sense as their namesakes. It kinda felt too obvious.
Marm has the jar on her head as a little hat (a design I like so much I recycled if for Vintage). Her hair is the main marmalade, but I made the peels and fruit pieces sit on the place where flowers normally adorn her head. Her shirt is plaid, mostly because I wanted to mimic the plaid I associate on the outside of jam containers. But also I think a collared shirt looks dashing on non-men too and want more of that.
Vintage was more difficult mostly because I havenāt drawn her enough to really feel confident in her normal design (heck- Iām still not happy with MARMS). But I wanted her hair to be applesauce and her face to be covered in freckles that are, once again, sprinkled cinnamon. I wanted to give her a āvintageā look, but Iāll be honest I need more practice drawing vintage outfits! I went with a low collar with a fancy trim and gave her a necklace.
If you made it this far, I have a sneak peak at my next sketch dump:
Vikingpilotās yellow and blue makes me think taffy, but Iām not sure how to pull of that texture, and his outfit is so half and half Iām tempted to do those black and white cookies. Also Iād love to add more viking theming (like the historically inaccurate Viking helmet, etc), but Iām not sure what sweet treat that would be. Maybe a croissant? Sad milkman will obviously be a man made of milk. That will also be a difficult texture. Not really a sweet treat but perhaps thatās why heās sad. I would also like to do a few Drift and Pyro designs, and perhaps a Legundo (although my idea for him so far is rather cursed). I might also give another go at Marm and Vintage, because going for the easiest option is boring.
I have been really struggling with drawing sbk!Marm which is bad because I have like 2 animatics planned that feature her PROMINENTLY. Her design is so intricate there though, and I wanted her too look like Marm, first.
Enter Hobbit Hills; a cozy smp featuring an entirely non-male cast building homes into the side of a mountain with a bunch of cool modifications to the world (furniture, new wood, new fairytale critters). Itās so chaotic and silly while also being aesthetically pleasing andā¦cozy! (Or cosy if youāre British)
The best part (not really but for this example)? Marma1adeās skin is WAY less intricate!!!! I can draw her!!!! I really am enjoying this smp so far and havenāt seen much Hobbit Hills fanart out there either, so this is part of my effort to fix that!
