Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Crimson

Dusttale: Revived | Research Notes for JUSTICE

Here is the rough draft of one of the alternate personalities for my OC. She is a dog demon, specifically a Rottweiler.

This is personality is definitely the fighter of the personalities, has a lot more bite than bark. Much like the stereotypes of a Rottweiler, she’s very aggressive and hostile towards most. However, she does have a soft side towards very few friends.

She is somewhat sensitive, in a sense that it’s easy to make her angry. While she doesn’t regret her actions, she does think if she went too far in physical fights. Many view her as a perfect guard dog and could be a good bounty hunter if not for her temper.

Walle: The Graffiti Bug

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.

Design

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:

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Avenir

Here are the rough draft headshots for Avenir: Fellswap Gold Neue:

Much like Miriam (in that he’ll play a minor/background role or a one off), he’s by far in my top favorite characters I’ve made. He’s so pretty & elegant, at least to me anyways.

Avenir is on of my first tries at making a trans character: specifically female to male (I’m working more on his backstory, I’m debating if Avenir transitioned due to “political”/royal duty reasons rather than personal/identity reasons.) If anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve at portraying a trans character, please leave a comment.

Also you can’t tell from the headshot, but in the simple design he has his real horns out (which are thinner, smaller & damaged), while in the detailed design he’s wearing fake horns (much bigger & “grander”).

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

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

Palm Beans!

Whoever is creating Mati’s character sheet sure is taking their sweet time. (It’s me…I’m taking my sweet time).

Anywho, here is a pic of Mati’s beans:

Can an Imp or Hellhound Work for an Overlord?

Asking because I’m adding some characters for my Theatre Overlord OCs, 2 of which will be hellborn.

One will actually be a character you all have seen before, she was originally part of another character, but decided to make her a separate character.

Dream's design: most likely done! At least we're getting there. I don't know what kinda changes my brain will come up with later so consider this a (probably) temporary design lol

Below is a semi-coherent explanation for the last image

The 3rd image is like a visualisation of my notes on them, inspired by nature patterns. Dream and Nightmare are not total opposites of each other, but rather analogous to each other.

Resilience — Motion : their nature. Nightmare is prone to being static, while Dream is constant motion.

Continuity — Harmony : community. Dream likes the interconnectedness of large communities, while Nightmare prefers one-on-one and closer relationships.

Sensuality — Intensity : how they approach relationships. In their truest nature, Dream is like a blazing sun: intense and constant. If he clicks with you, then he'd be excited to fill in every corner that he can in your life. Meanwhile Nightmare is more like a cat: approaching only when he feels comfortable and when he wants to, even if it's rarely. But the weight/importance of his attention makes up for it (or not, depending what kind of attention you're getting..)

Connection — Stability : what both of them need to feel happy and safe in their lives. Funnily enough, it's also what they don't have.

Influence — Change : how they impact other beings/people, consciously and power-wise. Nightmare influences others by compounding on preexisting emotions/thoughts/insecurities/etc, making one more likely to do whatever (like for example fall into a depressive episode). Dream, on the other hand, doesn't do subtlety and smashes through (or into) anything, outright forcing one to change their mood or mindset. His powers walk along the line of hypnosis in that regard.

Epictale Neue Rough Draft

Epic Neue’s name is “Styx”, is based off the font called “STX”.

Here is the rough draft:

He is based off the Garganica Goat.

He’s a bit taller than Mono, and his hair is about lower back length.

The Theatre Overlords Height Chart (minus The Puppeteer)

The basic design for 6 out of the 7 Theatre Overlords have been completed. Except for The Puppeteer, who I’m working on right now.

Below is a height chart/comparison:

Now onto some other news regarding these characters, I’m working on some storylines.

1. Who can/will be redeemed?

2. Possible love interest/crush for Stragedys (it’s someone from the Hazbin crew).

3. Possible relationship between Stifonies and The Puppeteer.

4. Interactions with the main cast.

Could you please tag for horror/ unsettling?

Of course! Sorry for that.
