Piper's Concept Sketches!

Piper's concept sketches!

These are pretty messy and inconsistent, but I'm happy that I actually saved them for once-

The general idea has basically remained the same, just some details are different.

The story behind her creation is under the cut! :>

The first tadc oc idea I had was a jack in the box based character who was supposed to be named Jack, Zack or Dice and he had two different versions, one that was basically depressed and always dizzy and scared, and the other was a crazy scientist type of character that kept doing weird crazy experiments to keep himself distracted. The depressed one had a black/white/red color pallete and the other one was more colorful. I didn't fully like this idea so I decided to do something different.

Since I saw that making a fortune teller type character is common in the fandom I wanted to give it a shot for the fun of it. I ended up with a character that had similar proportions to Piper. She had a magic 8 ball as her head and wore some sorta purple/black outfit, and all of her limbs and her head were deattached from her torso. Her main gag was basically that she's pretending to be an extravagant fortune teller, and that she tells false fortunes to the cast just to create drama for the sake of entertainment. Her name was supposed to be Magica, and she was supposed to able to float, which was a bad choice when you consider that Caine can float. Thing is she had too many similarities with Mina, and I don't wanna create the same type of character too many times so I scraped it.

Eventually I was like alright let's look at the cast what can I work with. Then I realized that there isn't really a significantly mad character between them. Yes, Zooble is grumpy and irritable but I was like... let's crank that up to a 100. And boom, Piper was born. (I also took bits of inspiration from the other canon characters, but I won't go into that.)

Although some beta names for her were: Miffy, Blaze, Flare, (I almost went for this one) X, (from explosion) Bonnie, Bo, (from bonfire) Minnie (inspired by Minnie Mouse) Maddie (cuz she's... y'know, mad)... and that's all I can remember.

I was also debating wether her color pallete should be fully black and white or if I should add a third color, like red, yellow or grey in the form of a bow or a different accessory somewhere to match with the fire that forms when her fuse lights up. I also had the idea to make the bottom of her dress look like a lemon, to signifiy that she's sour. But I decided against these ideas for the sake of simplicity.

[Ramble under the cut!]

This drawing is actually based on this draw the squad. I haven't done a draw the squad since 2018 so this was a fun throwback!!

Ngl this is probably ooc on Dan's part cuz I have no idea how to explain what he's doing but the mental image of it was so funny to me that I couldn't resist-

Trucy is complimenting Elly's ponytail and going "You should wear a ponytail more often." and Elly is all oblivious just like "Uh. Thanks??"

I told ya I'd draw Elly with a ponytail so that the earrings would be visible!! I told ya!! >:D ✨

I tried my best at making Elly's hair look messy but still coherent, took me a few tries to get the ponytail to look right-

The lil ahoge is supposed to be a question mark cuz she's confused! I also added freckles cuz I loved the idea of it from that one sticker design-

I made Trucy's hair larger!! I also did the detailed anime eye thing for her again cuz I like it lmao

Yeah I went a lil off model with her eyelashes but I think it looks pretty!

I also screwed up the direction in which her little gloves thingies are facing but I noticed that after I finished the drawing-

I was gonna make them transparent but they ended up looking better this way-

Also I thought of this meme a while ago but I forgot about it up until now:

And ye that's it I hope ya like it! :>

Back at it again with the messy doodles-

I, without realizing that I did, drew Molly and Charlie with basically the same expressions multiple times but in different notebooks, I find it interesting so imma keep it like this-

Also imma put some cc au facts under the cut cuz they've been sitting in my folders for too long and I forgot that I didn't post them-

Milo is the stylist of the group, from making hairstyles and putting on makeup to picking out the perfect outfit, he can do it all. They spend a lot of their time getting ready in Milo's room.

Milo often has troubles falling asleep which Molly is more than happy to help him with. Whenever she does, he sleeps like a rock.

When Milo and Charlie are on the same page for once, they're a very good duo.

Also, Milo often tells gossip to Charlie, mostly because Molly doesn't understand it and Mina doesn't like gossip. Charlie actually gets invested so they can talk for hours on end.

Charlie and Milo often use nicknames for Molly, because they've noticed that she enjoys them. Charlie usually uses Moony, Shy eyes, Sleepyhead etc. and Sugarcube when Molly does or says something sweet. Milo uses Sweetheart, Sweetie, Honey, etc. Charlie uses random nicknames for Milo, usually something that has to do with the situation. Mina doesn't get (or give anyone) any nicknames because she's not very fond of them. Charlie doesn't get any either, cuz she prefers her own name. Molly doesn't give anyone any nicknames, because she likes their names.

Charlie's treehouse and Molly's bedroom both have a coffee maker just because of Milo. Mina's kitchen also has one, but that was there even before she met Milo.

Milo cares about Charlie and Mina the same amount as he cares about Molly, but he doesn't show it the same way.

Charlie and Molly enjoy to infodump about their respective interests. Milo gladly listens to them, even asking questions along the way. Mina listens as well, even if it might not seem like it since she doesn't comment about anything.

Mina isn't very expressive, but the others can read her very well based on little details.

Mina gives the nicest hugs in the group because her sweater is incredibly soft. Molly and Charlie take advantage of this. Mina doesn't mind.

Milo uses his own rotary phone that's located in his room, just like Molly does. (I don't know what time period Making Fiends is taking place in but Vendetta uses one so Milo can use one too.) Mina doesn't have her own phone yet so she uses the family one, a 90s wall telephone. Spooky Month is probably taking place in more modern times, but Charlie still uses a flip phone.

Your turn, who of your OCs is more likely to:

Spend too much time reading random Wikipedia Articles

Burn the kitchen trying to cook

Get too into the song when singing Karaoke.

Love Christmas the most

And also the opposite, be visited by three spirits until they learn the true meaning of Christmas

Become a menace on April Fools

Cause a paradox if they ever get their hands on a time machine

Create their own OCs

Hehe alright >:D

1.) I feel like Piper would get lost in all of the information only for someone to snap her out of it after half the day has already passed... I'm just imagining Ragatha getting all concerned and knocking on the door only to find Piper intensely staring at a bright computer screen with the Wikipedia article for soap opened up-

2.) It's either Charlie or Molly, I can't decide. Charlie would cause it due to making stupid decisions for fun, Molly would fall asleep on accident right after she put something in the oven.

3.) Milo and his theater kid ass

4.) Mina's favorite holiday is Christmas because that's when she got Karma.

5.) The mental image of Milo getting visited by Christmas ghost versions of Charlie, Molly and Mina is so funny to me, so I'm going for it-

6.) Charlie. She'd plan the whole thing months in advance. Thing is, Milo would have a few tricks up his sleeve too, so it's a tie.

7.) Ohoho. Hoo boy. Molly.

8.) Mr. T. Bear is basically Molly's oc, so it's her.

Thank you for the ask! ✨ :>

Small, but important Charlie design and lore change!

From now on, any drawing I made of her where she has both eyes is not canon anymore. For those where her hat is covering it, just assume that she has this going on underneath:

If I ever draw a design I made for her again, I'll just slightly redesign it to cover the eye somehow.

The eye patch doesn't cover the whole scar, so Charlie puts a little bit of makeup at the part that sticks out, just in case.

[Further explanation under the cut!]

These eye patches are worn for the sake of keeping dust out of the eye to protect it from infections, and it serves as protection against the sun.

Charlie can still open her eye, but the socket is empty.

The fact that Charlie lacks an eye now serves as an explanation as to why she has troubles during her stealing shenanigans, and in life in general.

To name a few:

Given that people living with one eye likely have both a limited field of vision and challenges with depth perception, they may find themselves tripping, falling, or bumping into things more frequently than before.

Thing is, she hasn't developed coping strategies or done any exercises to retrain her working eye, she really should, but yeah, lore reasons don't make that possible. Charlie's a 12 year old that hasn't seen a doctor in ages, she doesn't know any better.

[Credit for the medical info.]

(I listed the issues that Charlie experiences the most, she does occasionally experience some of the other stuff on the website too.)

And in classic Charlie fashion, she plays it all off in a cool, "I got a badass scar" kinda way... at least, whenever someone somehow actually gets to see it. She's pretty insistent on keeping her hat and eye patch on, (this doesn't apply for cc au Charlie) in the show her without her hat would be as much of a mystery as Skid and Pump without their costumes. Hatless Charlie would preferably never be shown until a special episode happens, but yeeeeeah I pretty much blew the surprise, since I settled on this lore recently.

Making people wonder how she lost her eye is a favorite activity of hers, because she comes up with new weird unhinged lies each time.

[Credit for this idea!]

Here are some of them:

"I sneezed too hard that one time."

"Dad had to take something in the divorce."

"I ran out of money at the store."

"I lost a bet."

"I picked dare."

And yeah, that's it. That's all I'm gonna tell ya.
