Oh Gosh. Who Hurt The Bestie?

That one meme but it's Cass from RUIN and Grego from FNAFSB

I also practice and experimenting some coloring and stuff.. I love how this turned out

steampunk(ish) sun design that came to me in a dream

When the FNAF movie came out in October I made a (very bad) brief (it was 45 minutes long) presentation for my partner & best friend who didn't know much about FNAF before we watched the movie.

Decided to share my fav bits:

I think about Sun and Moon's original versions a LOT, and I don't get why people say they're not expressive!

Or perhaps, I do, and I just wanna ramble. Anyways! Big ol warning for lots of talking, some fursuit gifs and analyzation of body movement.

So, they have flat, immobile faceplates, right? Technically, yes!some argue that this makes them immediately inert and expressionless and opt to enhance their expressions. And this is a-okay! Do what you like!

But as someone who used to be a costumer, and wears a fursuit on occasion,

(Sorry, I love this gif so much)

BUT! When in a mascot costume, fursuit, or any other costume with a mask over one's face, the performer has to learn how to move in order to portray the emotions necessary for character engagement with the audience! Whether it's exaggerated head bobs, using your hands to talk, or making everything a bit of a spectacle, even the way you tilt your FACE can affect how you look.

Even MUPPETS do this with their limited range of expression. And we can easily draw those conclusions of how the boys were programmed to act in canon!

Take Sun's default animation in the daycare, just standing there.

It's very obvious here what he's trying to portray, and who his programmed audience is- little children! When costuming around little kids, you wanna use big gestures, and get on their level because you can seem HUGE AND SCARY to them! You wanna get down towards the ground, make big sweeping cartoon motions, and make sure all your movements are ROUNDED- not jabbing, sharp, or sudden- so that the kid isn't ever surprised, but rather delighted by your performance as a costumer. I'll show you an example by the amazing performer, Temba the Bat! (Made by Toxicoon, I believe.)

Big sweeping motions, slow without being too spooky, and generally friendly motions while swaying the head! Looks kinda similar right?

Another point is, though, these exaggerated motions don't really... turn off when feeling other things. Sun and Moon don't have a customer service mode, and that's WILD to me that their programming requires them to act like this all the time. Exhibit B: Sun's pain in the transformation scene.

He's making such exaggerated motions and movements to INDICATE he is in pain or holding something back. He's gripping his face like something is trying to come out of it, and even dramatically falls backwards to indicate a loss of control in his body. Whether the way the fall looks so cartoonist was intentionally programmed in, I couldn't tell you.

And then... there's Moon.

This is SO cartoon villain sequel, isn't it? The hands tapping delicately on the surface, the exaggerated head tilt, all of it is so wildly exaggerated in such a smooth way to let you know "Ah! I'm in danger! Great!"

And yet... he still is low to the ground. Still in that pose of going after someone SMALL. Performing for someone small. His evilness is almost completely exaggerated and, dare I say, fabricated by his programming. Of course, the virus probably had something to do with it but LIKE! Look at that range of motion!

Idk what the point of all this is, I just wanna say: it's totally understandable to make the boys super duper expressive in the artistic, flat 2d styles i see a lot!

But man I do hope someone draws them biblically accurate while expressing something else because that would be hilarious to see Sun throwing a temper tantrum by banging his fists on the ground and flailing while his face is just

:D

This scene and this pose really stuck with me, I don't know why.

I swear I'm normal about him. Very normal.

Fanart of @naffeclipse's fic, Apex Polarity.

Hey fellas guess who just spent two hours finally drawing out the security breach map in a way that MAKES SENSE?

Me :)

enjoy - different shots of intimidating Sun (and moon) muahahaha

I think it's so fitting that you're (not) thinking about that kiss after seeing the tongue post X3

It's from that episode that I got the inspiration to make the 'horns and frills' design in the first place, so it's very fitting.

... just wanna add, I don't think they'd ever use their WHOLE tongue when kissing Y/N.. I think that'd be enough to kill a person cjxjhdjdjf

They're gentle, remember!? They're very gentle!! XD

Jokes aside, I'm so happy you enjoy my weird art and design for the boys. I don't know how long they'll stick around after my CS craze fades (if it ever will). They've turned into a character I'd really like to keep for a long time if I can. But I will ALWAYS credit you as the sole reason why they even exist in the first place♥️

Nope, definitely still not thinking about it (I am) ♥

I see the boys' tongue as one of their creepy factors! It's intimidating and a little gross (if you're on the wrong end of their attention) but if you're a sweet human who happens to have captured their heart (or lack thereof), then it's just another tongue, if not a bit more interesting ajsdlfjdas

They are oh so gentle, and maybe a little cheeky with that tongue hehe. In all seriousness, they are mindful and careful, as they are with all of their other aspects when up close and personal with their little hunter! ♥

It's so easy to love when you create so many beautiful things! I also love your thoughts and ideas behind your cryptid designs, it's very inspiring! Keep them for as long as you'd like! They're yours entirely!

I give some thoughts about heart-eating and some of the boys' senses below, which involves blood, hearts, heavy kissing, and spoilers for Cryptid Sightings.

So, I've kept thinking about it ever since your art of the tongue anatomy and figured this would be a good time to share: The boys have very strong tastebuds; a crazy powerful taste. (All demonic cryptids share this trait.) When they taste blood and meat, it is sweet and savory and they can derive information from that taste (like when they sampled Y/N's blood left behind in the trailer after the rake attack and could deduce that their heart was still beating when this smear of blood was spilled). That carries over whenever they kiss Y/N, which is a very sensory experience for them. Even though they lack lips and often kisses are given via nuzzles or Y/N kissing them on their teeth, they make up for it with their tongue—not to say that they're invading Y/N's mouth every time. Just that they will occasionally give little flicks of the tip of their tongue to Y/N's lips or along their cheek to taste their essence (and if the moment's right, more with a deeper kiss).

Only listening to will wood for the past month has certainly done something to me
