Neue AU Headshots Rough Draft: Merriweather

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Miriam

Here are the rough draft headshots for Miriam: Swapfell Neue:

Even though Miriam is most likely gonna be a side/background character or a one off sort of character, she is one of my favorites. I hope she radiates “sassy gremlin” & “I’m the main villain of this story” sort of vibe. I’m debating on if I should make her shorter or not. She’s currently around 4’6”, but I think it would be funny to give Ink some competition.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; she’s based of the Pygmy Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

Who Should I “Mati-fy” Next?

So if you have seen my recent post, Mati has the ability to “impersonate” any individual that Mati has seen.

I used Mabel as an example, mainly because I like to imagine that Mabel befriended Mati when her & Mati first met.

This also gives me an excuse to “redesign” characters from the show.

I was gonna go through all the Pines, but I figured it would be fun to mix it up a bit.

So who should I “Mati-fy” next?

Ask Questions About Mati!?

So doing the concept art of Mati “impersonating” Stanley is taking a lot longer than I was hoping, Stan’s one my favorite characters so I it to look good which results in me creating too high standards, but don’t worry I’m still working on it.

For now though, you all can ask questions about Mati or my other characters (who haven’t been drawn yet). I’ll try to answer the best I can without giving too major spoilers.

So ask away!

Here are the clothing rough drafts for my OC and her personalities.

I’ll be doing the patterns when I do the base colors for the clothes.

One of Mati’s Favorites

I’m gonna be “Mati-fying” some more characters from the show.

I’m obviously gonna be doing the Pines (Should I do Dipper first or Stanford first), but I’ll do a few others as well (probably Gideon, Soos, Wendy, and of course our favorite demonic acute angled fiend: Bill).

Anyway, here is the Mati’s impersonation of Stanley:

Now I’ll probably need to explain a bit more regarding the limitations of Mati’s impersonation ability.

1. While Mati can impersonate hand-held objects/prop, it would be made from Mati’s body, meaning Mati can’t “let go” of said impersonating object, the same goes for accessories (hats, jewelry, gloves, etc.) Mati prefers not to impersonate these types of objects while impersonating due to the reasons stated above.

2. While impersonating an individual with glasses, Mati is unable to replicate glass from Mati’s body, resulting in the frames being empty.

3. Mati has certain impersonations that Mati will use for specific situations, but specifically ones that can “fight”, and will often replicate any weapons that the real individual has used (hence why Mati’s Stanley has brass knuckles).

4. If there’s an eye feature/design on the individual’s clothing/accessories, Mati will replicate the eye design has an actual eye, meaning Mati can see through that eye as well.

5. Mati can combine the features of a few individuals (it’s easier if the individuals have similar features to each other), or different ages/phases of a single individual (ex: combining the features of Stanley pre-portal and post-portal).

Here is one without the fez:

Who should I “Mati-fy” next?

The Magician

Here is the finished reference for the Magician:

His name is a combination of the Arabic words “jaa” meaning starve & “sahar” meaning magic.

I really like how he looks, I might use him more in the main plot with my OCs, just not as an “active” participant.
