Individual ramblings

Clay:

-Changed up his outfit to better parallel Viva’s

-Matching side braid with Viva

-Eyeliner!

-Beads on his tail braid corresponding to his brothers

JD:

-Short and stocky, is greatly relived that Floyd is slightly shorter than him, thus sparing him the shame of being the oldest yet shortest sibling

-Tail didn’t fully develop, he has a small nub but that’s about it. Since he’s never had it though it doesn’t really affect his balance.

-Scars from his travels that he loves to tell stories about: a puncture wound on his abdomen (critter attack), a chunk out of his ear (he’s jealous Barb’s is bigger) and he’s missing the tip of his pinkie on his left hand (don’t play with explosives). Oh, and some small claw marks on his face, but he doesn’t bring those up

-Cargo pants, for snacks and supplies

-Hair is starting to gray

Branch:

-Not a ton to say, he’s pretty close to canon

-Matching tail ring with Poppy

-Took after JD the most in terms of appearance. They have complicated feelings about this.

-Has crows feet like JD and Bruce. Family is very concerned about what he went through to have developed them at such a young age.

Floyd:

-Shortest sibling, lithe body type

-Tips of his body still crystallized, easily get cold. Arm warmers courtesy of Viva

-Gave him a lot of alt fashion influences, but still tried to keep him looking soft

-Bangs are hiding that he has a square jawline similar to JD/Rosie (inspo)

-Previously gray, though not as long as Branch

Bruce:

-Tattoo!

-Matching anklet with Brandy

-Flowers in hair from LaBreezy

-Took out the beads from my first drawing of him, just made him look cluttered and took away some of the significance of Clay’s beads, but I kept the twists because it resembles the yarn hair of Brandy and the kids

Group Ramblings

- Ages at the time of breakup: 3, 13, 14, 17, 21

- Ages during TBT: 26, 36, 37, 40, 44

-Clay and Floyd are Irish twins (born less than a year apart)

-Changed up their Brozone uniforms just a bit. Gave them matching stripes on the pants and gave each of them a different fit. Also got rid of the completely identical hair, they keep it generally consistent but they each have hints of how their hair will develop later

-I designed all of the adult designs to be just after TBT, so there are some differences brought about by their character arcs. Notably Floyd’s recovery fit and Clay adding JD’s bead to his tail.

-I enjoy the idea that none of the brothers have healthy hair. It also helps me cope with the fact that they weren’t creative at all with the use of hair in TBT compared to the other two movies

Clay cut his hair during a dark moment to get rid of the remaining yellow dye, which you’re really not supposed to do. It lost the usual pointed shape, and now grows more straight out. He can envelop himself but can’t grab things.

JD was born with shorter and weaker hair. The roots are okay, but the strands get weak and break at a certain length. He can grab things and hair whip, but at a shorter range.

Branch’s hair is physically healthy, he can grab things fine, but extended time spent gray means he can’t change the color on command anymore. The most he can get is a slight color change when performing.

Floyd’s white streaks can no longer change color and are generally very weak. It hasn’t affected his hair’s range of motion, but it can’t bear much weight anymore without breaking.

After having so many kids, Bruce’s hair is very thick and heavy, which makes it slow and cumbersome to use. It is incredibly strong, but at the cost of often throwing Bruce off balance when he uses it.

-It felt weird that all the brothers had blue eyes except for Floyd, so I changed it to be a gradient of cool colors:

turquoise (Clay)

cyan (Branch)

royal blue (JD)

indigo (Bruce)
