#nightwatch gradient

Nightwatch slop. Here’s the Art club,, there’s four of them I had to do the demon days album ok!!

I’ll show their actual ref sheet because I do have final designs for gradient, pj, and punk(goth) but here’s a sneak peak of them!

this was a lot of practicing and exploring my drawing program all of which i cannot explain . otherwise ..... keep in mind that some of these characters cannot be on the same screen together ....... i was just having fun

(i can't bring myself to work on the background more so i'm putting it down)

In my humble, restless, little dream, they live in Oregon

These little chuds mean a lot to me I hope they get a happy ending but knowing thaltro he will shoot me in the kneecaps and heart

My capcut kept crashing during this lol

Sure so Pj and Gradient were made for the same reason.

The Host God (god of fannon, fan interactions, anons, modding- he is in charge of those meta reality warping interactions with aus) Felt envy towards The God of Creation (I mean it’s kinda obvious what she represents but yk writing, production, the platform itself that allows for fanworks)

The envy was for her own dedicated worshipper The Encasutic (Ink sans). Inks beauty, loyalty, and proficiency in godly magic was something to behold and the Host wanted that more than anything.

So the Host placed one of his low level worshippers who made a deal with him not to long ago- Error. Error was already blessed with the Hosts magic (code corruption) and was ideal to be selectively bred with inks blood. So the stage was set for the two to become friends- the host has dominion over reality and the narrative of non au interactions so it was fated for them to befriend eachother.

Error didn’t know of what was happening nor did ink, both were just puppeted and eventually when The timing was perfect they were forced into a blood ritual where from both of their torn out ribs two children where born.

This deeply traumatized ink- and he felt incredibly betrayed as this was the first time he was ever this vulnerable with someone. So he fled back to the light of creation, hoping to never feel this feeling of hurt ever again under her light.

Error was left with severe amnesia after the event. When he woke two ugly little babies were laid beside him- he asked assistance from the only family he had, the anons. They instructed him to raise both of them as his own and he obliged.

But yeah Pj and Gradients development was heavily monitored by the Host god, I mean that’s why Fresh is so interconnected with the family (errors boss, occasional baby sitter, landlord), Fresh is the Hosts right hand man at the moment.

One of the children was expected to have more of Errors qualities which is fine but isn’t what they were looking for. The other was expected to be like ink and would be selected for the greater plan. Again error has no clue about this because of his mental disability- he just is acting out what he thinks is a normal family.

Pj is expected to be just like ink and will be forced to be like him in every possible way. How will that happen? That’s spoilers heheh

Palette is a warrior cats fan but he’s actually more of an actual warrior. He has befriended a pack of stray feral cats in the woods and spends a lot of time communing with them and advancing their kill pile. Palette has been doing this for 6 years and is now fully experienced in quadrobics after learning from his kitty peers in that time. When he’s not doing that palette is usually swimming in the ocean as he’s also been adopted by a raft of sea otters.

During craft time with his friends palette likes making paper dragon head puppets- he also likes carving wooden masks, a hobby he gained from his father’s affinity for woodwork. Palette loves taxidermy (which is cute because that’s a trait he seems to get from atrophy).

The kids met palette through a school camping trip to the nature reserves of the omegatimeline. Punk, gradient, and pj together got lost in the forest and palette saved them. He brought them back all the way to his own house with dream. (Which was kinda terrifying for these three normal kids to come face to face with the legendary knight of creation). After that palette decided he was apart of the friend group and they couldn’t remove him ever since.

Personality wise palette is very energetic. He’s incredibly kind and generous but is willing to go to extremes to solve problems- usually through violence. Palette was raised very differently from the other boys- in that way he is very independent and could essentially live on his own. But he is also very socially abnormal and normal monsters have a hard time befriending him. So the friends he does have he deeply loves and will do anything to ensure they are safe.

Punk is adopted by memory and Dr. Scifell (scell for short). Punk takes on a lot of behaviours from his adoptive parents, his hobbies lean towards memory. Because hes in a lower income household he’s taken on clothes making, fiber art, and up cycling as a hobby- affording new clothes isn’t the most feasible thing for his home. Punk is really into DIY culture, his mom and his dad both do this in their own ways. Punk enjoys well.. punk music? He got into it because it had his name but stayed because he fell in love with the music. Because of that he’s pretty decent at playing the guitar. Punk may seem very aloof because his monotonous voice and his unexpressive face but he really likes going out and befriending people. He’s a social butterfly like his dad. He likes frequenting bars, repair shops, restaurants, and retirement homes to just talk to the residents. People find him cute around his neighborhood, he’s been given the nickname “the punk angel”- which only bothers him slightly because he so desperately wants to be considered cool and intimidating.

Punk spends a lot of his time tagging untagged spots in the city, him and pj compete to who can claim the most spots (punk is winning to pjs dismay). Punk also likes to befriend the city strays, when palettes visiting the city they usually spend most their time together playing with the cats. Punk likes playfully teasing gradient as the two are the most different. He thinks gradient is uptight and distrustful of the world so he tries to push him out of his shell.

Gradient has dropped out of school and has a dubiously legal job online as a programmer to support his family. Gradient is spending most his time taking care of his terminally ill dad and his brother. Gradient usually is inside working, cleaning, or preparing food for the family. If gradient has spare time he spends it watching old anime’s or reading web comics online. He also does digital art and has a decent audience of fans online. Gradient enjoys making amateur breakcore music and posting it to his followers.

Gradient is quite lonely and also very anxious of the world around him. Gradient is brought into the friend group by pj as pj drags Gradient out of the house sometimes. After being in the group for a while though gradient has taken on a management role and is the one who books the meeting spots and pays for any rentals or food. Gradient struggles with controlling his emotions as he’s always overwhelmed with stressed. He’s annoyed when punk tries to push him on that- he also gets frustrated with the amount of dangerous hijinks pj and punk do together. He appreciates palette a lot though because palette (despite his odd personality) is very responsible and helps him manage the club.

Pj is very outgoing in a similar way to punk as they both like hanging out together in the city. Pj is a graffiti artist and likes making very large intricate murals in his spare time- at least he tries to until he gets caught. He also likes painting in general and is pretty good at especially for his age. Pj likes very bright abstract art- especially art that has the color pink. Pj similar to his dad is pretty religious and attends the local creationist church frequently and he volunteers as a choir boy. Pj gets into dumb 12 yr old debates about religion with punk quite frequently as punk has very opposing views to him. Nevertheless they are basically best friends.

Pj is pretty heavily bullied at school for being a visible corrupted and punk usually backs him up in fights. Both pj and punk are in a basketball team together and they like to practice in the court yard outside of punks house. Pj also likes to travel outside of the city and do landscape painting- usually he is guided by palette because pal knows all the great spots around the area. Pj likes making music with punk and he usually does the vocals- and drags gradient in to do the percussion.

I assumed you were referring to palette as the angry chipmunk because that’s what he kinda is. So if the “chipmunk” is palette then 100% gradient is dead in a few minutes. palette has been trained his whole life by the one of the most powerful cultists in the utmv and has the killing intent of a chihuahua.
