Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Crimson

Here are the rough draft headshots for Crimson: Horrortale Neue:

I may have overdone it the hair, but in my defense: he hasn’t had his character arc/development yet. The basic idea is that Crimson is super insecure & self-conscious about his appearance (especially his face), so his hair is super long & thick to cover a good majority of his face.

You can’t really tell due to how the headshot is cropped, but one of his horns completely broke off with the base barely sticking out from his hair.

Also he’s gonna be one of few that’ll still have the “goat” eyes because it just looks natural on him & ~aesthetic~.

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

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

WIP: Worzsovia Body Redesign

Dusttale: Revived | Revivors W.I.P. (Another One)

I was gonna wait until I finish the notes & designs for some of the Revivors designs, but I really like how this one turned out.

So you guys get to have another sneak peek:

Here’s one with Azzy for height comparison:

I’m going to be doing the Dreemur Family (& a certain skeleton) first since I have a solid idea for their designs.

Only 4 will be safe.

Their fates are in your hands.

Chose wisely.

Missy Burlappe: The Flesh-Thread Seamstress

Missy Burlappe (Ms. Burlappe or just Missy) is the Overlord over the clothing industry, specifically costume design & tailoring, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.

She grew up around the small town of Glossop, England during the early 1900s. She had a large family: parents, siblings, grandparents, great grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all living under 1 roof.

However, her family was far from innocent: they were a family of murderous cannibals. It’s unclear when this “traditions” started, but it’s been in the family since before the great grandparents. They would kidnapped individuals and use parts of their bodies to eat or use in clothing, furniture, and even toys for the children.

Missy was quite skilled in skinning the victims and using their skin for sewing, helping with making clothes and dolls for her younger siblings and cousins. She also grew an interest in creating detailed designs in the “clothes” she makes (and eventually using normal pieces of fabrics to sew).

Once she turned 18, she moved to Liverpool, England and opened her own boutique. While not the most popular, she became well known throughout the city. However, family traditions are hard to get rid off, and cravings started to grow.

She would first kidnap people whom she judged “sinful”: thieves, abusers, drunks, prostitutes, generally rude people, smokers, etc. She then started going after individuals who lived alone and “flirt” with them. Missy had a secret basement under her boutique where she would keep the kidnapped individuals.

However, she grew careless one night and didn’t realized she was being followed. After finding her next victim, she lead her to her boutique, not realizing that the victim’s lover was following her. Before Missy could do anything, the Lover grabbed the victim and ran to the roof of the boutique. Missy followed them, thinking she had cornered them.

However, the victim grabbed a burlap bag and covered Missy’s head. Unable to see, she tried to find them, but was pushed off the building and fell into the streets below, killing her.

After arriving in Hell, she was greeted by The Puppeteer, who has been watching her and her “creative” clothes designing during her past life. The Puppeteer offered her to “improve” her hands to help better at clothes designing, eat as many individual as she pleases, and give total control over the souls she collect in exchange for her “working” under The Puppeteer, making her follow The Puppeteer’s every demand when needed. She accepted with no hesitation.

Out of the other Theatre Overlords, she’s definitely more unstable, making most feel uneasy and even in danger around her. While “most” of the others felt some remorse for their past actions, she feels none and justifies her past actions, but also she had fun doing these past. However, when she was allowed to leave the Theatre, found solace in Cannibal Town and became good friends with Rosie, and eventually on good terms with Alastor.

Design

Her name is based around the fact that parts of her body is made of burlap, and she died with a burlap bag over her head.

She is around 7ft 8in tall, making her taller than Alastor, who is supposedly 7ft 2in.

Her fingers are supposed to look like pins and needles often used in sewing (took some inspiration from Beldam from Coraline and the Prototype from Poppy Playtime).

Regarding the colors, I wanted her to look somewhat similar to the inhabitants of Cannibal Town, specifically Rosie.

Her body is very floppy, almost like she has no bones. This in a way is supposed to reflect how she died, which was from severe blunt trauma from falling off a building.

She has long arms due to The Puppeteer’s offer, and to represent how she could have “reached” the duo before falling, bringing them with her.

The pins around her wrists and neck act as “shackles” due to being under The Puppeteer’s control.

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.

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.
