that moment when u realize yr in love with that annoying bite sized alien robot

i made these a while back to help keep track of everyone in Religion of Toy so far.. and i already need to update it for some new side characters, lol. (like some faces seen in Tommie's workshop) I want to use this to help keep track of the various background workers so i can have familiar faces and not have to always design ones on the spot. And also to keep track of other dead relatives, although the ones I have are all too vague still. Naucus and Herta, for example, are mostly there as stand-in examples of dead siblings Tommie never learns anything about. There's nothing more beyond their faces/names - at least at this time.

I am the "doing too much" guy for background characters, so some of that is expected. But.. my goals with Religion of Toy are kind of differently paced than FFAK or even NRD, where both of those comics have a sort of "ticking time bomb" event. Religion of Toy is geared to be somewhat more "slice of life" except.. the life I am slicing is inside of a terrible toy factory run by a really fucked up family. So we'll see how that plays out long-term.

Names/Designs of characters included here are definitely subject to change, esp for last names and characters who haven't appeared yet. I had a last name for Frefon but i can't figure out where it was written so.. i'll probably need a new one??? Luke also might be renamed to be Balsam "Shark" Fir. which you might be like.. wut??? But I've been writing a lot for him/his family and I am thinking about naming his dad Douglas Fir.. anyway.. it's a work in progress! So much of this has just been in text and it's been a little tricky translating characters I've only really seen/felt in my mind (sometimes for years) into like, actual physical designs haha. Not as easy as starting the other way around TBH.

Anyway, I'll probably be updating this image on my "art gallery" on comic fury for Religion of Toy as it expands. :)

As part of the 35th anniversary celebration of Sesamstraat, a painting based on Van Gogh's "The Bedroom," also known as "Bedroom in Arles," was on display at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

The painting featured Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Tommie, Pino, Purk, and Ieniemienie.
