WIP POST — FIGURING OUT NEW POSTING SYSTEM :DD
cover image is just a doodle of betty angry from me :p
I come to share lots of artwork with you all!!
A lot of this stuff is from over the last few months. I’ve been laser focused on two OCs of mine for a while– Clerk, who I just now got around to fleshing out…And specifically the many AU versions of Betty (my main oc as of current) that I’ve been daydreaming about.
Here’s pages about Clerk and Betty, but if you’d rather not dig in, there’s a (briefer) rundown of both of them further in the post… at random. I’m not an organized person!!!
They’re both from my story Off The Radar, which… Well, its hard to describe, but in simple terms its about a horror reality TV show that takes place in a giant warehouse-facility-thing. Its scary and confusing and tragic and… Yah.
I purposely try not to spill all the beans cause… Its fun to have ppl ask me questions abt lore :p so do ask and comment if ur curious about either of them!! (or OTR in general.)
BETTY DEAREST
Betty Dearest is the main antagonist of Off The Radar, and she’s essentially a thrill-seeking showhost whose quite old fashioned and gets a kick out of being in pain, and seeing others in pain. She’s kinda the reason why the events in OTR even take place, and is often morbidly commentating over the tragedies that happen in the story from a cushy office, via an intercom system. She’s indulgent, impulsive, and always smiling and snickering about something. She’ll purposely mess with people’s heads and is overall just a nasty person, but purely from the standpoint of her own selfishness and how she throws others under the bus.
I like to draw various AU versions of her because the base concept of her character is just very interesting to me; and there’s a lot to work with whenever I ponder specifics of her character & why she is the way she is…
Anyways, I’ve made AU versions of her that consist of varying differences… And here! I’ll just leave this image here for you all to gauge and gander at, hehe!
There’s some more of specific AUs that I’ll share here; like the silly stupid looking highschooler version of her… (view below)
Isn’t she cute?? I had fun trying to figure out how to stylize braces, as its not a common design trait of mine admittedly…
And then there’s Bentley, who I had a lot of fun brainstorming. Originally, I was gonna slick back his hair, and maybe just put him in a long pencil skirt.
But instead I wanted to really push a femme silhouette and I felt the bowlcut was much more true to Betty’s personality (and his own, both of them being an artificial, curated sorta “quaint cuteness” if you will…)
I’m really happy with his design. I honestly think he’d have a tad more whimsy in him than the original Betty, hence that dancing drawing I made of the two!
As for the other AUs in that very first pic, there’s information somewhere on The Huddle about some of those guys…So if you’re really curious, go ahead and get digging on Betty’s page specifically (“off-the-radar/betty”…)
now onto CLERK!!!!!!!
Clerk is actually meant to be a secret character, only accessible through falling thru a random vent in the facility… But she’s as her name implies–A store clerk!
She works in an isolated, faux supermarket known as “UberMart” and is the only employee there. She’s been there for years on her lonesome and lives her life essentially trying to be the best service worker she can be; to usually nobody at all. Its odd interacting with her because despite being informed by customers that she’s slap dab in the middle of a SAW like facility where people are like… DYING… She doesn’t seem too perturbed! Beyond sympathy, she just seems disconnected or always skeptical of whats going on outside UberMart.
Interestingly enough, she also recognizes Betty from a show that plays on the breakroom TV… :ooo
I just love Clerk. she’s genuinely so sweet and helpful!! Wants nothing but the best for her customers!! But also it has to suck living essentially in a box for the latter half of your life…
I always draw her looking so stupid to be honest, but its because I just love her clueless look. I dunno! shes legit just a lady. I’ve made spriteset for her bc I love her that much.
Look at her?!! She’s literally just a gal. Augh. Okay, okay okay okay… What else…
… There’s these doodles from Malmal.io that I can show!! Eeeh? eeeeeh?
In all seriousness, all of the artwork short of 2 videos I have for her is on her webpage. So I’d rather show something new!!
Maybe when I upload the Clerk to my YouTube, I’ll link them here or make a new post… :DD One of them is super cool. I love making animatics.
Anyways, that’s all really. I just wanted to ramble and show off some of this stuff just to give you all something to look at :p (and myself a bit of dopamine!)
I love my sillies!!
Thank you for reading!! Take care!!!
I LOVE THEM!!!!
thank you sm!! i love them a ton too!! :DD
