Batch 1 of Stickerfigures will be released tomorrow, and will include 10 sprites (9 in image, 10th WIP). If you are not included, don’t worry as you may have your own stickerfigure in the next batch, starting whenever the hell I feel like it.

JoJo styled images for Max and Nick

I used the Treble Clef on Nick’s sleeve to my advantage and added a 3/4 time signature and notes, and Max is…well Max.

Fml

Apparently, I wasn’t crazy. The images I made transparent via various websites were actually downloading with white backgrounds, apparently it’s a bug when you download transparent pngs from Google/Safari, the former of which has of course acknowledged the bug and done nothing about it. Fuck.

Luckily, I found this:

Me, trying to make the stickerfigures transparent so they can actually be used as sticker styled sprites

Coming soon

The first batch will have about 10-15, so it’s gonna be awhile before I release them

Concept art for the third member of Ash’s gang

Stickerfigure

Hugh…get it…hue…

CB made hair? And it looks decent?! Preposterous!

Anyway, Hugh here is Ash’s older cousin and the most trusted member of the latter’s squad under the gang (for which I currently have no name). While Ash’s specialty comes from his love for fire and punchy guns, Hugh’s abilities complement this in how he focuses on precise throwing knifes and meticulous traps. The gold parts of the knife are specially weighted so that Hugh can bounce and ricochet the knifes off walls for trick shots, much like his cousin’s coins.

Just in case you haven’t noticed somehow, Hugh’s hair changes color based on the emotion he is currently feeling. Unfortunately for him—and much to the humor of his friends—trying to suppress his emotions to reduce his hair color only makes it brighter. This hair dilemma completely contradicts his cool and collected appearance, and can lead to some pretty awkward situations.

Also I took inspiration from Jeff Hardy (more in his prime than current day) for the arm covers, because I used to be really into wrestling and WWF/WWE and all that and I thought Hardy and his outfits were cool lol. This is his casual outfit though, he wears a (partially) bulletproof suit for his missions, the color of which accentuates his hair.

Finally finished fixing the proportions for all my characters, Ash was the last one I needed to do so now I can actually start making other characters

I made another Google Slides creature, this time I made it after the design of a Cello. Idk what to call this one, I was trying to find names that related to cellos or string instruments like Staccato, Legato, Pizzicato, etc. but none of them sound good so idk lol

these guys are massive btw, about the size of an average skyscraper (exact heights tbd), and I might make them intelligent enough to build crude weapons that resemble bows used to play string instruments.

The Wyvern

Holy shit, this was a massive “trust the process” moment, it looked terrible right up until it was finished.

Anyway, after making Max’s gauntlets have the ability to summon his firearms, I realized he had a severe lack of said firearms. At the moment, all he has is the Minotaur and the Bow (Luna’s Whisper). After this gun, I plan to bring back his old shotgun/grenade launcher hybrid and maybe give him a crossbow.

This auto rifle is going to be Max’s go-to gun, just like the Herald of War (and sometimes the pencil) will be his go-to melee weapons. On top of a 30-round mag and a burst/auto mode switch, the Wyvern comes with—you guessed it—big fucking thrusters slapped onto the sides. This allows Max to throw the gun up and let it fire autonomously while keeping it’s position in the air, like a little turret drone. Basically, I wanted a weapon that would make combos and nonsensical badassery easier to animate. I refuse to give Max a normal weapon.

So I decided to rework one of the runes on Max’s gloves. Originally, it was supposed to allow him to summon his tools and equipment (shovel, anvil, etc.) but that was kinda bland so I spiced things up a little. Now, it allows Max to double jump, air dodge, and perform various other movements mid-air, that way he can carry out longer combos like the one in the animation I made with him not too long ago.
