Here is the finished final draft for Roman:
Also here’s the lineart for just the body as well:
This is actually the character that sparked this idea of redesigning my Overlord OCs. I just didn’t like how he looked, mainly his clothing.
Here is the finished redesign of Stragedys, plus the addition of his pet hellsheep: Phema.
While redesigning him, I decided to take some inspiration from Cyclops, specifically Polyphemus from the Odyssey.
I made his hair curly and changed the clothes to look more like the Greek Military uniform during the Balkan Wars since that is when he died.
His sheep is obviously a reference to Polyphemus and how he cared for flocks of sheep.
Here is the colored lineart of Quire, Mono, Styx, Mairanda, Eras, and Lucida.
Quire
Mono
Styx
Mairanda
Eras
Lucida
There will be a total of 7 Overlord OCs, however, 6 of these Overlords work under the 7th Overlord.
The 7th Overlord owns only 6 souls, the 6 other Overlords, but receives a share of souls that the Overlords managed to contract.
Most of these Overlords died some time during the 19th-20th centuries, while the 7th died in the 18th century.
All 7 Overlords have occupations and themes relating to theater/drama entertainment, essentially working together similarly to the Vs.
These are the “industries” that each of the Overlords work/rule in:
Opera
Ballet
Artist
Seamstress
Orchestra
Playwright
Puppetry
Each of these Overlords will have different ethnicities which will be revealed below.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to comment down below and I’ll try to answer without giving too much away.
Walle is the Overlord over the Art industry, specifically painting and scenic art, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.
Walle grew up in Vienna, Austria during the 1920s and 1930s. He was a rather sickly child, with a very weak immune system and often being neglected by his family.
He almost never left his home or even go outside, meaning he had no friends growing except for the many rodents and bugs that would enter his rooms. His best friend being a stag beetle.
However, he would entertain himself by drawing and painting with material he can find. Even his family dubbed his activities as “wasteful and useless”, he would continue to draw anything and anyone that he saw either from his room or outside his window.
However, during the 1930s, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was placed under the care of the Am Spiegelgrund Clinic in Vienna, Austria. While there, he was bullied and mistreated by the other patients and staff members. To continue his artistic passion, he would use food, clothes, dust, and even his own blood, hair, and nails to create art. However, while being punished by a nurse, Walle lost control and attacked the nurse, which he doesn’t remember much off except that he was holding a knife and the nurse was lying in a pool of her own blood.
Because of this incident, he was locked his room, wearing a straitjacket and shackles around his ankles, preventing him from even walking around his room.
During this time, Austria was under Nazi rule, where a new program was established to “handle” the mentally ill/physically defective children, called Aktion T4. This program lead to over 700 children to be euthanized at the Am Spiegelgrund Clinic.
In December of 1941, Walle was sent to be euthanized by a lethal injection of phenol, and soon became one of the many unfortunate children to fall to this program.
After arriving in Hell, he was greeted by violence of the sinners, and tried to hide to protect himself. However, he was found by The Puppeteer, who saw his potential artistic talent when he was alive. The Puppeteer offered him a deal, they would bring out the artistic talent dormant within him, give him the energy and motivation to create massive masterpieces in just hours (or days depending on the size of project), and offer to protect him from all the dangers within Hell. However, in exchange, his soul is owned by the Puppeteer, having to follow their command when needed. Due to his young age, and being taught that he was of low value, he accepted The Puppeteer’s offer.
Due to being isolated for most of life, he doesn’t really know how to socialize, mainly keeping to himself unless he’s addressed, which then he only responds with one word to short sentences. He does get along with Zelyezda, almost viewing her as a mother. She was the first to greet and comfort him whenever he felt stressed or had a nightmare. After the Puppeteer invited Charlie and the gang to watch one of their performances, he met with Charlie, but barely paid any attention to her. It was Zelyezda who told him about what Charlie is trying to accomplish at the Hazbin Hotel. After learning about the possibility of redemption and going to Heaven, she urges him to go there and try to be redeemed, wanting to both give him a better afterlife and to break free from the Puppeteer’s control.
His name is the combination of the German words: “Wanze” meaning Bug and “Falle” meaning Trap.
He is around 4ft tall (4ft 6in including his horns), making him the shortest of the Theatre Overlords and around the same height as Niffty who’s around 3ft 9in-4ft.
His horns resemble that of a stag beetle, specifically an European Stag Beetle. This is supposed to represent both his “best friend” growing and the saying “small but mighty”
Regarding the colors, I wanted him to similar to a corpse during decomposition, which the body turns pale and slightly green.
His very frail and slim, having a general humanoid figure, with the exception of the horns, lack of nose, and deathly cold skin. The red x on his arm represents where he got the lethal injection, with veins representing the phenol.
Unlike the other Theatre Overlords, he doesn’t have any physical shackles. This is due to him being in the “free trial” of The Puppeteer’s deal. This gives him a false sense of freedom and The Puppeteer feels that shackles aren’t needed to control him, unless he severely misbehaves.
Here is a basic reference without the dress:
I’m currently working on a character sheet that will show/explain a few of Mati’s powers/abilities. This upcoming one will have some uncanny valley sort of elements, which some might find disturbing.
I’ll be using Mabel, & the Pines in general, to showcase Mati’s abilities.
I’m still working on the sheet but for now, here’s an outline of my Mabel design:
Why are braces so hard to draw!?
While working on the designs of Neue & AU Variants, along with their overall character, you all can ask questions/suggestions to the characters or me.
Most of these will probably be answered through text, but I might draw a few of the characters answering the questions.
You can either leave questions on this blog or through my profile.
So seeing that Gravity Falls is making a comeback, especially on this site, I’m debating on if I should make a character for it.
I have a few ideas regarding what the character can be:
Just a regular human working at the grocery store in Gravity Falls.
An experiment that broke out of containment & is currently roaming around the forest.
A demon of some kind, I was thinking a succubus/incubus & are trying to seduce the older folks in Gravity Falls, but they suck at it.
A random monster/cryptid/mythical creature that just hangs out around town & everyone is just fine with it.
A ghost/poltergeist that possesses people/animals/machinery for fun or travel.
While typing this out, I imagine all 5 of these being friends/acquaintances that work together in solving problems like the Mystery Inc. Gang.
So I’m working on doing headshots for the different AU variants of Neue.
I’m mainly want to work on the head/facial areas of the characters, & figure out how I want their appearance (hair, eyes, horns, ears, etc.) to look like.
I’m going to do 2 headshot rough drafts each character: one with a simple hair/horn design & one with a more detailed hair/horn to match the goat breed they’re based on.
Here is the first rough drafts of Undertale Neue, the original:
For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Angora Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):
I don’t know if it looks like it, but I was trying to give him curly hair since the wool coat looks curly to me (I also had to look up what mohair was).
I’m going to be changing the eyes to normal pupil lights instead of the goat pupil, since it looks more “natural”. However there will be a few characters that will still have it.
On a side note, if y’all want to hear “headcanons” for Crimson(Horrortale Neue), Vani(Dusttale Neue), Sabon(Something New Neue), or Gisha(X-Tale); please leave a comment.
