[Image Description: a drawing of Bill and Alice Woodward from the Hatchetfield series doing their hair together. Alice is redesigned as a Black girl. Bill is using a twist sponge while happily singing, and Alice is using a diffuser to dry her wash-n-go with an amused smile on her face. On the counter in front of them are jars and bottles of hair product, a wide tooth comb, and a crumpled up t-shirt. End ID]

Hehehehehh

[Image Description: a drawing of Bill Woodward from the Nightmare Time episode "Watcher World". He is walking down a path at twilight with a tall looping roller coaster and a carnival booth behind him. He is holding a large purple hammer from a high striker in one hand and clutching his head with the other, a pained expression on his face. A large yellow eye on the hammer with a pink pupil is staring at Bill, and everything is bathed in a vivid pink light. End ID]

[Image Description: A drawing of Ella Ashmore from Cinderella's Castle based on the number "Step On Your Grave". She is wearing a peasant dress with a green apron and her hair partially pulled back. Ella is standing on a table, holding a cleaver high in one hand with a triumphant expression as she sings. The dark green room around her has golden threads strung about the ceiling, and the starburst glint on the blade of her cleaver is silver. End ID]

I liked the concept of her Being the hearth and hypothetically I liked the accesory design concepts (the poker, the coals, the blanket) and i wanted to play on the sound-alike of hearth / heart. I didn't use many references other than the original design but I did have to look up photos to do the hands

For the design concept I looked up associated imagery in mythology and that's where I got the bull and leopard aspects, I like when associated animals are part of the being so I did the tail / ears / horns. I picked locs for wordplay reasons ("freeform" -> Dionysian celebrations were considered to free the spirit). I also drew a smidge of inspiration from T-Pain ("buy u a drank" is a great Dionysus song imo)

[Image Description: A drawing of Frank Frankly, a gray muppet-like character with black hair wearing a colorful vest with a yellow bow tie on top of a button up shirt and slacks, and Julie Joyful, a pink muppet-like character with blonde hair and horns wearing a fluffy red dress with teal tights, from Welcome Home. They are chatting at a small table in front of a window. Frank is leaning on the edge of the table gesturing lazily, while Julie is leaning far over the table and waving an arm energetically.
