Stifonies Ziemuzies: “The Symphony of Silence”

Stifonies Ziemuzies, Stifonies or Stifons, is the Overlord over the Orchestra industry, specifically Symphonies, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.

They had a fairly calmed life, growing up in a small town and worked as animal breeders. Their favorite animals to take care of were rodents, specifically rabbits (rabbits were considered to be rodents until the early 1900s). They were born mute due to defects and malfunctions in their throat, not that they mind.

However, the Netherlands started to began to flourish with the arts, music, and sciences; bringing them an inspiration and admiration for music. Their family took them to see orchestral performances, which in return, inspired them to write their own music. Some conductors would volunteer to perform these songs, but none of them matched Stifonies’s vision.

During one of these performances, a few of the performers accidentally played their instruments too loudly and suddenly. Due to where Stifonies was sitting, they got instantly affected by this, causing them to become partially deaf in their right ear.

They were told that it’s best for their health to stay away from orchestra performances to prevent their deafness from getting worst, but they refused. Many began to turn their backs on them, due to seeing that their music as “odd” and “unconventional”. But they still continued to write and eventually performed their music themselves. However, they were a perfectionist. They would work and force their instrumentalists to practice to the point of severe exhaustion. One day several of their performers died from a stroke while performing. Soon they were left with no players to perform in their orchestra, leading them to stop performing all together.

Unfortunately, the Smallpox epidemic reach the Netherlands. They soon got infected by this epidemic and was stuck in bed for days, being comforted by the rodents they once took care of. Then in February of 1871, they died in their sleep.

After arriving in Hell, they actually found themselves at The Puppeteer’s Theater. The Puppeteer, shocked by their sudden arrival, greeted them warmly. Since they were the first to ever appear at the Theater, and watched their orchestration talent while alive, The Puppeteer saw this as fate and offered a deal to them. The Puppeteer offered to make them the 2nd in Command of the Theater, the ability to control the instrumentalist and instruments themselves, and being able to practice nonstop without the worry of exhaustion. However, in exchange, their soul is owned by the Puppeteer, having to follow their command when needed. They saw this as a second chance and was pleased with the conditions, accepted eagerly.

They were cruel to most of the souls they owned, working them nonstop, and even breaking limbs to punish them. Even with broken bones, they still make them play, either on their own or through their powers. They didn’t feel the need to get along or even socialize with the other Overlords and often ignored them, even leaving snarky “remarks” and comebacks. Not even The Puppeteer was safe from their sass.

Design

Their name “Stifonies Ziemuzies” is a combination of the Dutch words for “Silent” and Symphony”, and “Sick” and “Music”.

They’re around 8ft 2in, making making them around the same height as Angel Dust.

They have rabbit like features to represent their fondness for rabbits, and rabbits are linked to magicians who are often said to have “a few tricks up their sleeves”.

Their body is covered with small spots to represent smallpox.

They feel like fresh new paper, smooth and warm, and is able to be drawn/written on. This is to represent that they preferred to communicate through writing rather than sign language, but still know how to.

Unlike the other overlords, they only have a “shackle” around their neck, which looks like a bow tie. This is due to them being the 2nd in Command for the Theatre.

They lack a mouth, mainly to represent that they’re mute, but one can form when in their full demon form.

Here is a basic reference without the clothes and makeup:

Theatre Overlord OCs Updates

Sorry for not posting in a while, started to lose motivation for drawing and just writing in general.

But I’m working on the designs and bio for the main Theatre Overlord OCs, along with working on “previous” overlords that worked in the theatre before…”retiring”.

I won’t give too much away, but I do want to relay some information and get feedback.

Information

The official name of the theatre, for now anyways, is “The Strings-Attached Theatre”.

The Puppeteer is now called “Thee Puppeteer”.

Thee Puppeteer is able to “Puppetified” individuals who they deem “Disobedient” or “Undesirable”. Who’ll see a few of these past overlords in some fan art surrounding Thee Puppeteer.

Thee Puppeteer’s strings are made from a material they call “Angel’s Iron”, which is made from extreme amounts of angel blood. “But where does Thee Puppeteer get all this angel blood?” I’m sure you all can put the pieces together.

While most of the previous/potential theatre overlords don’t add much to the story, mainly just adding flavor text, there are a few that give more “character” to the current theatre overlords.

That’s all the new information for now.

Please let me know your thoughts about these facts, especially about the Angel’s Iron idea.

“He’s Escaping…” W.I.P.

Just another sneak peek that’s connected to the previous sneak peek.

I have finally finished the general concept of my OC and her Personalities.

I realized towards the end that their clothing looks too “normal”, so there might be some redesigns in the future.

And yes, I still don’t know what to name them yet, so if anyone has any suggestions please comment below.

I’ll start doing wikis for them soon, along with possible scenarios for character interactions.

Ideas/Concepts for Dusttale: Reanimated

As I stated in a previous post, I’m gonna be doing a my sort of own spin on Dusttale on the side.

I’m first gonna start in character profile & information in regards to the story, as well as building their character. While the main characters from Undertale are relevant to this story, it’s actually gonna focus more on the NPCs, plus my OC Vani.

I’m planning on doing a character info & status sheet (like something found in infection AUs) along with a picture of how they’ll look. I’ll be doing the same to the reanimated monsters, or as I’ve been calling them “the Revived”.

If anyone has any better name suggestions for the AU or for the classification of the characters.

Neue AUs Headshot Rough Drafts Pt. 1

So I outlined & colored the top row of the rough drafts.

Neue AUs Headshot Rough Drafts Pt. 1 cont.

Here are the detailed versions since I can only post 10 pictures at a time. Link to 1st Post: https://www.tumblr.com/stargazer4501/76867902

I used black outlining & base colors for the simplified headshots, while using colored outlining & rendered colors for the detailed headshots.

I really like how most of them turned out; Albus is so far my favorite, while Courier is my least favorite (it’s mainly because I didn’t have a set design for them, so they were kinda designed on the spot, their design will most likely change in the future).

I’m working on character profiles (as in a wiki about them) that I’ll eventually post when I figure everyone’s character. I’m open to any suggestions/ideas/headcanons/improvements because I want to hear your opinions, so please comment down below.

Enough rambling, here are the first set of headshots (along with a small peek on who’s next):

Here are some up close pictures as well (sorry if they look blurry):

Along with individual pictures (again; sorry if they’re blurry):

Neue & AU Variants: Clothing Rough Draft Pt.1/6

I’m finally working on the rough drafts of clothes for Neue & his AU Variants.

Here are the clothing rough drafts for Neue, Roman, & Merriweather. (The colors used in the rough are used to differentiate certain pieces of clothing from each other, they’ll be colored differently in the final draft).

Neue

Roman

Merriweather

Lineart For the Seamstress Overlord

I had fun drawing this one, but had some trouble drawing the eyes.

I took some inspiration from “Downtown Abbey” when designing the clothes.

Gonna say more about her when I post the finished version.

Mabel Design & What’s next?

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!?

Upcoming Art Projects for Dusttale: Revived

This is more of a list of art projects I want to do for this AU, and get feedback from guys or even suggestions on what I can do better based off the past few slides.

This is the first time in a while that I’m actually excited for a big project.

*Side Note: As the story progresses & changes, I’ll post updated versions of past blogs for consistency & archive the old ones.

Alright so here is what is one the agenda (in no specific order):

Research & Character Notes

I’ve already posted a few of these, just gotta do it for the rest of the “Revivors” & the Survivors.

Story/Scene Character Art

Basically what I did with Asgore’s piece. Draw certain characters in certain scenes or situations that go along with the story or to showcase what they look like.

Character Reference Sheet

Character sheets…To see what they look like, simple as that.

Comic/Written Story

I’ll probably write the actual story first & then make a comic off it, or I might just say “screw it, I’m gonna do the comic first & hate my past self when I have to base the story around whatever I drew”. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

Multiverse Interactions

Yes I’ll be including other universes interacting or just observing this AU; it’s mainly gonna be the Bad & Star Sanses, but I might include a few others as non-canon interactions for fun.

Ask Blog (Maybe)

If this gets popular enough or I get a lot of questions, I might do an ask blog that the characters will answer or just be in some funny shenanigans.
