#robusta cookie

Well now here’s some more additions to the human fankids, namely Choco Madeleine, Robusta and Turtle Fudge

It’s still 2/3rds Dark Choco kids, dear god

I’m showing you now because I mean it’s another row, and also they’re the only new ones I can think of right now. I know that I now have a couple more options unlocked, but I can’t think of them at the moment other than Crunchy Chip/Wildberry and Caramel Arrow/Clotted Cream as the ones I’ve already done, and I think I still need at least one more

I suppose let’s now talk about the new additions, overall though I think they all look relatively good

Choco Madeleine I think I ended up making look way too old, like she’s a middle aged woman. She’s like early-mid 20s. And honestly, this was the improved version, she looked off from the start, I just tried to adjust. But I suppose she isn’t as bad as she could have been

Probably contributing to her face weirdness is that I remembered that while Choco’s a nervous wreck, externally she mostly seems reserved and serious, which I tried to incorporate here

With Robusta, I can’t say much other than I realized I gave Madeleine and Espresso the same face and nose shapes, which meant Robusta basically had to have them

Also that without his glasses, he looks more like an anime protagonist

And then Turtle Fudge I think just looks good. He’s trying to explode you with his mind but he is tragically just a baby staring at you with his big old eyes

He also had to have his hair streaks removed because he is not old enough for hair dye or stress that could theoretically cause them

So I finished the esspresseleine kid, aka Robusta Cookie

As explained before, he’s like a mad scientist, and he specializes in rather excessive weaponry, like giant machines. He’s also very high energy and probably at least a little insane. My brain says he has “coked out energy”. He probably drinks excessive amounts of coffee and barely sleeps, even for a coffee Cookie. He also has a habit of laughing or even chuckling manically, which is what he’s supposed to be doing here. Despite this all he’s not actually evil, he’s just weird

I also think he has some sort of lab assistant, but I don’t know if it should be another fankid or some random Vanillian he roped into it (bc he lives in the Vanilla Kingdom)

Also on the subject of my other espresseleine kid, Opera Madeleine, she’s supposed to be his older sister. Also I think I will be giving her a redesign now, especially as they both have blue as a main color and probably both have magic experience. Robusta frees her up a bit to do more. And to give her fluffier hair

Now onto design things

So Robusta is named after the robusta coffee bean. I called him that because coffee like Espresso, and just because I thought the name fit with his energy. Not much connection to Madeleine, but whatever

Robusta coffee beans:

So I recognize that Robusta looks far more like Espresso than Madeleine, but you know what, they don’t all have to be like a perfect mix

I know I also probably should have put more red into his design like the bean, but I liked giving him all the blue, and it being his main color makes him stand out from his dads. I think it was going to have more black but I think he looked too dark

I was trying to give him a mad scientist look, but I ended up changing the outfit somewhat midway because I thought it didn’t look too much like his parents, so I changed it. Though maybe I should have just given him what I was originally planning

Also the glasses he wears are supposed to instead be goggles, though I admit they don’t really look like they are. He also probably isn’t visually impaired

Okay, now the page is done with the additions of Cloudberry and Dulce de Leche

I know it’s not really that much different from what I posted a couple hours earlier, but whatever

I’m also noticing that Dulce is probably the one with the lightest skin tone overall in this picture, and he’s probably only at a mid level. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, it’s just something I noticed. Granted, I think that’s because literally every character here has at least one parent from the Dark Cacao Kingdom, so you know, it checks out

Anyways, not too much to add onto this one

I wanted to give Cloudberry some of her bright hair, but considering she lives in the middle of nowhere, she’s realistically not getting much more than maybe her hair being slightly lighter at the tips, which is a stretch at best if you assume it’s like, natural or something, I don’t know how hair highlights work. Also neither of her parents have orange

I also wasn’t really sure how to mix Dulce’s hair, I think he’s a politician so he’s probably not allowed hair dye. I could have had his hair be mainly light brown and blonder at the ends, but I feel like I’ve done the lighter ends on like, literally half the characters here, so he just presumably has blonde roots or something, I don’t know

I do think they both turned out pretty good though

The only real negative I have is that I had to look back at my first human Cookie designs for Wildberry, and they do not look good, especially him

The longer I look at it, the more I see wrong with it, like why are their necks so thin?? This is why you don’t look back at your old art, only bright side is seeing you’re doing much better now
