#character concepting

im predictable anyweays.

ive been lurking content smp for a whilea actualy mainly Just form Rat's POV (funily since the first content smp video actually) so like by default hes my favourite but everyone's really really good from what i know, by proxy of watching rat i already am familaiar with lux's deal but not fully? i know there was yuri or something but i shall try to upgrade my status from tangential causual watcher to probably deeper in the lore because wow.

anwyays content smp seems to be a good spot to implement my silly headcannon abt mc modders from the pun of Java edition: eveyrone gets coffee themeed. i already did this with fundy orignally and then extended to other ytbers i watch, incl rat too:

ive had fundy;s design solid for a while now hes latte themed! i strayed a bit form the core "latte art insp" when i was in a bit of a funk but im brinign it back in, i knew i wanted to kinda shift the redesign but i wanted to do Lux first because i feel its fair and more in line what i wuldve done if i was into csmp longer : base fundy off of Lux more

plus i learn lux is moth thats so fun

ironcially lux's core clothes are already coffee ish coloured so it wasnt taht hard to translate the stuff between the skin and design, i just wanted to add the latte parts which is basiaclly the foam and the latte art stuff, i at first referenced cookie run because ofc then dsifed to give lux (and then fundy) unique latte arts liek their own emblems

(weird tip is just after doing the design is making a chibi/cookie design to see what i can cut or add to make the design work better)

i also added a LOT of moth themeing idk why i guess to tie the look together with the antenna shape (which is rlly fun) i also had to add stuff to kinda mirror fundy and lux together like a weird twin thing but not rlly, its kinda funny their clothes kinda have the same shape and order (jacket with collar over white under top and an accesory on the head) so i then iterated with same scarf, socks, length bottoms (skirt + shorts) and same goggles. also again same shape language withteh swirls and goopies, their hair also (fundy's side tufts and lux's fringe) are the same general shape)

for lux i also added the cabin ver with folly red (its liek pink but whatevre) and she looks even more like a moth its crasy, the change of the collar detail to folly red makes it kinda like the blouse of the folly maid dress which was unnitentional but hey that good, i might change lux over time, adding stuff but yeah i think its good for now im actually proud and it might be a favourite

i did fundy's redesign after and it was just basically reshaping it to fit with lux incl adding a tinge of purple, the tumbler is probably lux's, also i put his stupid fletcher hat feather thing because i think it was rllly funny him having that

also in my head theyre both adopted and make fun of each other for being from the bin but hey they could be related minecaft genetics to be like that i should know ToT
