- The Creature Dilemma -

Hello, it's been a while since we last spoke. If you were aware. I deleted my previous post regarding a certain Owen because I'm unsatisfied. I really want to stop making characters and refocus on creatures.

There is, however, a dilemma and a complication. It's been a long time since I drew the main creature, The Hoodlites. I may have, stopped production on them. Every alteration I make seems to take on a more monstrous approach which leads to division.

You may have heard the names, Salkites and Broncopod a lot. While I have addressed that I wish to discontinue due to lack of interest and wanting to condense the cast. But by some miracle;

A metaphorical "Palpatine" if you will.

But here is another issue. There is an interest in reviving the Twiggmun with the Wilfies. A symbiotic relationship between the most fearsome and untamable hunters. Working together with the most intelligent beings. A bit like Timon and Pumba.

Then there is the Omnibeast problem. There is quite a chatter on the abusive use of something called, the Omnibeast Compound. I have a good narrative for that and it has to do with Yazmin. No issues there but it looks like separating variations is not the answer.

I do have a proposal though. I'm thinking of going ham. Letting the Hoodlites be whatever they look like but is still defined as a Hoodlite. For example, when we say Reptiles. We have lizards, snakes, Iguanas, crocodiles, tortoises etc~

I get to hit two birds with one stone. Fix the creature dilemma and make all sorts of unique looks for every Hoodlite since that has always been its approach. Wouldn't you agree?

- Yazmin and Vox: Reunion -

A long, long time ago. I created the first sample of creatures under the same name, Vox and Yaz. Both of these names have been through a ton of changes but. It's time they reunite once more!

Featuring: Yazamanyhands/ Yazmin and Vox of the Red

- Their History -

Originally, they were the "Type 0" of the Hoodlites. The first of the many that lead to a community of the same creature with variations of all kinds. They were reworked due to dissatisfaction. Even from the beginning, the concept of what they are is quite clear.

During one of the many attempts to remake the Hoodlites. Vox and Yaz were separated. They took on the creature form under a different approach.

Yaz is more robotic and Vox is more creature-like. While Yaz took a major change from its initial version. Vox's colour palate remained quite the same. However, it was still unsatisfactory.

Feeling defeated, Vox and Yaz were put on the back burner for quite a while but were still actively being reworked behind the scenes. Until I had the desire to make a sixth character. Referencing my old username; Yazamanyhands.

This rekindling also opened the possibility of returning to my roots. Giving Vox a few minor readjustments. Taking old Yaz's body but reworking to Vox's colour and tweak the form.

Hence, this reunion post was made to let them interact again. Both Yaz and Vox have drastically changed but they are still good old friends. Despite everything, they are still them.

- Vox and the Wilfies -

Vox of The Red returns with a small revival as a Twiggmun with the beloved Wilfies. These guys now share a symbiotic relationship as allies.

As the brains and the fastest group member, Vox helps scout ahead for prey and resources while the Wilfies provide muscle. Consider this as another reboot for Vox but a return for the Wilfies. Introducing Benjamin and Elias. I'm referencing a lot of actual wolf colours and I enjoy drawing them. No promises but I will draw more~

Vox / Nox: The New Hoodlites

Here's a little update: Voxy is back and has an ally. Reintroducing, Nox of the Blue. Both characters are Hoodlites. An elusive species of little critters. Scavenging for food and shelter in a dangerous world.

Hoodlites don't have special powers. In fact, they only have long tails with a unique tip shape to help them grab items. However, they are intelligent. With their wits, they can construct tools to help them combat their enemies.

Hoodlites are often social creatures, finding companionship with each other or with other creatures to ensure everyone's survival. Some unique quirks: Vox is an excellent climber and good at lock picking. Nox is a lot stronger than the average Hoodlite. Capable of carrying heavy things.

- Owen The Twiggmun -

Its said that [the Omnibeasts] are the masters of the STAB. Their Cores are described as non-Newtonian. Never as a certain state of matter and always changing. That is how this abomination is discovered.

Owen is a twisted experiment of the Havenites who took on the shards of an Omnibeast with aims to make it a new element for its weapons. However, due to the instability of the element itself. The experiment supercharged the Omnibeast Compound to life.

Since its conception, The creature was forced to stay in enclosures to be studied and learned. It was uncovered that Owen requires a shell to ensure its survival. Like The Omnibeasts, Owen's body shares that non-Newtonian state. Always changing forms that is similar to the STAB itself.

It is also uncovered that Owen does not need food. He instead, feeds on energy. Mainly electricity to sustain himself. Owen was kept from the world for about 15 years until that one faithful night when Sadie mac Lir managed to break in a steal this being into The Lightstone Club.

Since then, Owen has become a house pet to Sadie and Hector. Later with Jamie. As the versatile being that he is. Owen can adapt into any of the STAB. Often acting as the eye in the sky for the trio. Although he does not speak, Owen is the most trusted companion to the team. Team JSH (Jamie, Sadie and Hector) has finally found its O!

- Team JSH X Owen -

21 April 2024 Marks the date where Jamie officially returns and joins the group. So, likewise. Owen officially joins the team and become team JOSH.

Here we have the characters handling little Owen differently. Sadie handles him with care, Hector uses him casually like tool and Jamie lets him rest on her head like a buddy. Little fun fact, Owen is about the size of basketball.

Their dynamic with the cursed item is different. I also wanted to try a different type of finishing. I wanted to give them that overlay of bold words. Something a little different from the regular design.

- Owen got a little Weird -

I'm a little hesitant to share about Owen's development because the actual post didn't do so well. [READ ME]

On top of that, the post on Zutomayo also didn't do as well. [READ ME] Nevertheless, I wanted to share some development going on behind the scenes.

Owen is fitting in well. He is loved equally by everyone. The unusual thing is, it got me thinking about Owen's potential as a combat assistant.

Enter this muscle giant suit. I named it, the Delta Suit for now. Its a suit meant for horde attacks. When Owen wears the suit, he can take heavy hits and hit back when needed. Similar to Iron man's Hulkbuster or Baymax when in his combat suit.

It also got me thinking about adding more suit types for Owen under specific tasks. There is also a suit based on the Hoodlites to help him blend in with the Hoodlites and for stealth missions.

I called it, the Hood suit. Not a creative name but it's a placeholder for now. And more concepts to come.

It's helpful that Owen can fit in specific suits to assist the team with their lack and it adds with their dynamic. Sadie is the adoptee. Hector is the mechanic and Jamie might be the chemist to help increase the suit's power. So, yeah.

Gosh, I have six. Let me see...

Sadie mac Lir

Based on Lucy Pevensie and Clara Oswald. Spunky and Clever. Team leader, friendly and sociable. Clearly the most favored child. (108 characters)

Jamie Ann Robyn

Was named Agnes in honor of my college housemate. Always a bright soul. Ginger because Kim Possible. Almost didn't make it. People's favorite. (120 characters)

Hector James Dagger

First character ever made. Hero turned villain turned anti-hero. Has a tough and bad boy image. A little temperamental but is actually a big softie in private. (133 characters)

Madam' Anis Rusli

Birthed from Kapoya’s OC persona. Based on the cryptid; the Sulur Bidar but slightly altered. Loves cuddles and lame jokes. Probably owns an ASMR channel. (130 characters)

Professor Timothy Brian Anderson

Put simply, he wasn't meant to happen. But very quickly beloved. Inspired from The Magnus Archives and the old design for Hector. An eccentric and intense fellow. (136 characters)

Owen The Twiggmun

Recent character. Not technically a creature. Was from a botched experiment. In reality, I just wanted a pet character. Can switch between different shells. (133 characters)

Not as tough as I thought. Haha~ But it's a fun challenge nonetheless. I'm using old images because I didn't have anything new as of yet. Bit busy and tired nowadays but;

I'm gonna tag a few friends but really, anyone can join;
