#ahit shapeshifter

A hat in time but the cut characters are actually Hat Kids and Bow Kids family and they are happy and wholesome and awesome :DDDDD

I wanted to draw some headcanons but my iPad charging. This is all your getting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's still Christmas guys trust me

I just remembered that the chapter "Murder on the Owl Express" was originally supposed to be far from a film shoot. There was a real killer.

THE SHAPESHIFTER

I've always wondered, "How did this creature get on the train in the original script?"

So I thought about it and decided to try to redesign it AND make a fun concept for AU

There are already many references to scientific activities on the train, soooo

Is Shapeshifter an escaped experiment that went wrong and started a fun game of catch-up? HELL YEAH

Also, Tricks is banned in this AU. She's experienced with all kinds of analog horror shit-

A hat under waters- Some cut characters!

Them not having any canon content means I can imagine whatever silly things I want about them >:D heheh Tim is 100% the type of guy that goes ohohoho. to me.

(Oh and also! Since these are all cut characters, these are also not 100% "canon", per se; It's just what I personally decided to assign them. So if anyone wants to have a different fish assignment for any of these guys, feel free to imagine your own version of them!)

“I enjoy talking to you. Your brain appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except you happen to be insane.”

A (worse) spiritual successor to my 1984 comic, and style practice that I forgot about for months and had to rush to get it at least rendered.

Working on some aau second act revamping (because it finally hit me why it wasn’t fully sitting right with me like act one was (had Two Big Events back to back as the ending rather than just One to focus on (which lead to having to kill some darlings but it’s ok)) anyway take my shapeshifter lore tweak brainstorming ,,,, (couldn’t pick which color to go with though <\3 I think I’ll settle on the brown/natural colors one though ?)

(tldr: original plan was they went from changeling (soulless plushie creature) and became mortal (gets soul/body but at cost of shapeshifting ability because you know,, flesh and blood can’t really Do That) to which they’d get a arc about dealing with that (their job as an actor kinda relies on them being a shapeshifter)

BUT this is being changed to instead be that the changelings forms can shift unconsciously over time to better suit an environment when they feel safe or fitting in it, making it more of a physical show of their arc rather than just A Thing That Happens To Them (plus it felt like too major of an event to happen to them because upon doing my notes/looking back they are much more of a side character than a main one so I thought simplifying the idea but keeping the core concept would fit well :)) (there might be a slighttttt bias going on because I’m reusing an ocified aau lore thing here but shhhh if it works it works )

(also also idea that they get the wolpertinger features due to being in DBS so they get wings/bird traits from that hehe :3💖)

(also also also also: detail i wanna point out is their antlers are based on seam rippers :))
