When in doubt if it looks aquatic- add fuckass fin ears

He’s still low key giving dragon vibes but if I look at him any longer I’m gonna put him in the air fryer or something

Encore squad-

Cutie pootie vs some analog horror mfer

So I started to realize why I hardly see art of people rendering the mask like skin

Harlequin is low key crashing me out because I do associate him with more aquatic like features- going for a deep sea creature sort of look that should hopefully come together once I render cuz bro is giving hell demon than deep sea 🫩

Concept designs for Columbina/ Arlecchina

A fusion of my personal headcanons/ interpretation of her story & Character

I want to expand more on the designs and story but we’ll see where the brain rot takes me because I have a habit of just keeping my rants to myself or my buds :p

If I had a dime every time I latch on to a female character we never officially meet in the canon content but greatly affect the story I would have 2-

This is just a word vomit of my brain rot with Columbina and Freak circus as a whole without holding my buddies hostage

SO

The idea of the Encore AU is that it does follow the events of TFC with the aspect of Columbina is “debatably” alive in the form of Arlecchina

Arlecchina- at times can be a interchangeable name for the lover character, Columbina, however in some versions can be entirely her own character being portrayed as either a companion or rival to Harlequin/Arlecchino

(I can be wrong I’m not a scholar of all the comedian characters I just went into a rabbit whole or two 🗿)

ANYWAYS

For clarity I prefer to refer the cast of TFC as fae since fae can quite literally be anything and their existence as a whole been compared to myths and legends so tomato toMato in my book.

Which also gives me much more wiggle room in the world building and cultural aspects that loops back around the questioning of how and if Arlecchina is truly Columbina or completely her own person now due to the differences there is between them.

What inspired this train of thinking was the route where you follow Harlequin into the tent and he later gets stabbed (5 times according to him later when he’s in our room) and comes back with no visible signs of healing. To me that conveyed that the fae have incredibly fast regenerative abilities so one thing led to another to where I questioned

“What if Columbina had regenerated from all of that?”

However due to the significant damage done not everything both physically and mentally came back the same.
