Clinical Trial sketches (OverKill)

 After drawin' almost three pages of this chap in my notebook, I thought it was about time I tried going digital with him. And after a few weeks, I've selected my favorites into this neat lil' sketch dump for your entertainment!

This here bitter son-of-a-gun is Clinical Trial! Or [as I like to refer to him as] CT, for short.

For those of you who're confused, Clinical Trial is the physical version of (as google puts it) "... a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and effectiveness of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use"

 ... Sooo, he's just the human-esch representation of making sure certain chemicals are safe for you to use without any unwanted side-effects...

 Like dying, for example.

 ... He's a pretty important guy, to say the least.

His typical state in life is stressed with a  'done-with-everything' attitude. And despite not needing to eat or sleep, his co-workers all agree that he looks like death. (Mr. Mortality resents this, to say the least)

CT's conscience is pretty heavy too, seeing as he's killed a fair number of people in his various testings and experiments over the years.... He sometimes goes into a state of grief and depression, utterly convinced that he's just as bad as some of the poisons for all horrible mistakes that he's made.

And it doesn't help that even when CT DOES find something that'll help humanity in the long run, it's then considered no longer a part of him, because it's been tested; it's proven itself good enough to work, and therefore... yeeeah.

Pretty depressing, but at least he considers himself more useful than Dr. Antidote. Seriously, CT HATES Dr. Antidote!

It's a wonder he hasn't tried to strangle him yet...

But I love drawing this guy! He's just so beautifully messy and has such a BIG lab-coat and I just love his design overall~

The DeathDancer Kids

HOOO BOY, I can't believe I actually kept my word! But better just get this over with and post these guys before I forget or something but seriously I'm so proud of these weird abominations of nature, like this is such a weird family Ruby has but it totally makes sense and it's AWESOME!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you get when you mix a Vampire Witch Kangaroo with a Green Cross-dressing Penguin of pure awesomeness.

ENJOY! :)

And now some stuff about these adorable little weirdos~

*Buckle up. This is gonna take a while.*

As the first child to Ruby and Harland, Alexis DeathDancer takes fierce responsibility in her role as 'eldest child'. Bold, brutal, and blunt, she's a no-nonsense fighter and will stick up her fists for her little bros at the mere sight of bullying kids, curious passerby's, or horrified teachers...

Alex has this weird Vampire disorder that makes her stronger in sunlight (as apposed to weaker, like Ruby and Vincent) so she pretty much gets up at the crack of dawn to get as much sunlight as she can. And due to her shorter tail and penguin feet, she's really clumsy (much to her irritation). 

She also absolutely idolizes her aunt Sapphire, and wishes she'd stop being so darn busy in the navy so she could visit them and go on epic quests with her and stuff... But she guesses Midnight will have to do until then.

 

Vincent is the daydreamer of the house, and definitely the most socially-oblivious to just how wrong their family really is... He's mostly penguin; just a lot fluffier, and with a set of fangs. He's also naturally the most 'magical-blooded' out of the three of them, being born a Vampire (instead of being turned into one later on, like Alex).

But despite his cheerful attitude and friendly nature, he's surprisingly antisocial, and would rather just stay indoors curled up with a good picture book of Greek&Roman Myths and a blood-box. Not that any other guy (or girl, for that matter) would want him in their circle of friends anyway, so maybe it's just as well...

And finally, Aeron. The sweet, adorable little fluffy boy who's as quiet and shy as a mouse with the vocabulary of an enthusiastic psychopath. Concerned adults have consulted Ruby on this fact, saying that he often greets other kids by "giving a psychotic grin and saying that he could've murdered them all in their sleep", in which Ruby would wave them away unconcerned and reply that that was just his way of saying hi.

He switches from skirts to shorts on a daily basis, and typically carries around a hand-made toy bear [made by Fang] who Harland has dubbed Mr. Teddy, although Vincent argues over the possibility of it being a Mrs whenever the subject gets brought up...

 Aeron also likes hanging around his mother a lot. This might explain where he gets some of his... odd habits.

Utterly Hilarious...

*I was planning to post an art dump of Ruby's future penguin-hybrid kids and a few idea shenanigans I've thought for them, but I haven't been able to figure out how to draw the youngest child of hers just yet...*

*Maybe next week*

*Or maybe not*

*...*

*Probably, though. Vincent is too adorable to be kept a secret~*

HI EVERYONE! Boy oh BOY am I eager to show you guys what I've just done! Sure, it may not be particularly 'up there' in terms of detail, but that doesn't make this any less loved~

 Pretty simple, but I'm actually quite stupidly proud of this. If only because this is the first time I've drawn Ruby and Sapphire interacting since August 2017! WOW, that was a while ago...

I also feel like I made a noticeable difference between these two's designs; Sapphire being a bit more fluffy and dog-like (thanks to her hyena genetics), Ruby's low-key grumpiness... Yup. All there!

Good job, me! It may not be perfect, but you did good. Real good.

Weird Mage

Mornin', guys! You all had a good week? Maybe a bad one? Well, in any case it's over now, so let's kick back and relax with something from my vast art gallery of weirdness!

For something that was supposed to be a simple experimentation on hoods, this turned out quite good! Liked the face, if nothing else. :)

Snowy Forest of Doom

HELLO, EVERYONE!

Sooo, I DID actually draw a lot of OverKill stuff this week, BUT it was all on paper... *Shrugs* Can't control when you do amazing, I guess.

Anyway! I like how the scarf came out in this. Boots, too! Hat's not too bad, either.

... Tryin' to figure out a way to get hyped up about drawing some more UV. Cause' I REALLY love my characters! The grumpy red kangaroo witch, the cross-dressing green penguin of awesomeness, the cheetah king thief and his over-dramatic Scottish wolf body-guard that can kick down steel doors, the kangaroo-hyena hybrid that will punch someone in the face for the sake of peace...

And need I mention Fang?

Seriously, I love them all so much! And I have so many ideas and plans for them but I just can't seem to FOCUS on them!

It's an issue I really need to figure out at one point, If I'm gonna be drawin' comics of 'em and stuff.
