left is @chainraven amazing Kari piece which has just arrived!!!!!! 😍😍😍 on the right is @neesi absolutely adorable Jonah piece!!!!!! 😭😭😭 on the bottom is @boneyhag wonderful surprise Kari!!!!!! 😳😳😳 (i didn't tag in post bc i'm assuming this is not an important share haha, but i shall share/credit in the thread of this!~)
🤖Gabi's Character Inspiration LEFT ⬇️TOP - Midna from LoZ: Twilight Princess⬇️ probably their biggest influence in terms of mischievous gremlin personality 😈 + also partial voice HC~ ⬇️MIDDLE - The Architect from The Matrix + Monsoon from MGR⬇️ placing these 2 together bc they are more related to strong visual influences in Gabi rather than their personality. Gabi's monitor room is 100% inspired by The Architect, and their title "The Mediator" i feel is def inspired by The Architect's title as well 🖥️ + ofc Monsoon separating body part is a big inspo for Gabi's body design~ 🦾 ⬇️BOTTOM - Great Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke⬇️ Gabi is a wannabe omniscient being u_u✨ + dual identities~~ 😶‍🌫️ RIGHT ⬇️TOP - L from Death Note⬇️ a calmer + more mature gremlin energy that Gabi also embodies 🕵️ as well as the other half of my voice HC (i HC Gabi's voice similar to L w/ some of Midna's feminine tones peeking thru, if that makes sense~) ⬇️MIDDLE - Professor X from X-Men⬇️ i wasn't consciously inspired by Professor X, but i feel like the burdened disabled leader w/ an angsty past w/ another character (👀) might've slipped in as subconscious inspo~ ⬇️BOTTOM - child!Alia Atreides from Dune⬇️ this is another more distant influence, but another cursed gremlin child character as well as an association with the title "Abomination"~ 😶‍🌫️
🏳️‍⚧️Kari Sok/Auclair's Character Inspiration LEFT ⬇️TOP - Solid Snake from Metal Gear⬇️ my ultimate snarky suffering comfort blorbo!!! ✊😔❤️‍🔥 Kari is supposed to have the exact energy of that MGS4 moment where Snake says dumb shit into awkward silence while choking on his cigarette~ 🚬😔✨✨✨ ⬇️MIDDLE - Tony/Iron Man, EMH cartoon ver. specifically⬇️ another comfort suffering snarker 😔🙏✨ as well as 1/2 of one of my ult OTPs (Stony 🥺❤️💙) that is an obvious inspo for MarcKari as a whole 🥹 (past x future type ship 💓) ⬇️BOTTOM - Akira from BL manga Mirai no Kioku + Kaze no Yukue⬇️ inspo for the gremlin con artist side of Kari~ 😌 from my guilty pleasure BL that is lowkey a blueprint for my strange sense of humor, as well my desire to create a BL-within-a-wider-world type vibes 😭✨ RIGHT ⬇️TOP - Elsa from Frozen (this specific concept art)⬇️ fun fact is that Kari's lower half of his face is directly inspired by this specific concept art, as well as prob the spiky hair~ 👀 (shockingly not from Sasuke) + maybe Elsa's themes also have a lil inspo too~ (YOU ARE THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL OF YOUR LIIIFEE-) ⬇️MIDDLE - Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite⬇️ so i've never played the game (bc i am a Fake Gamer) but i have seen the Analysis Videos + i feel like i was subconsciously inspired by all of Elizabeth's designs for my fem!Kari looks, as well as the entire aesthetic of Bioshock~ 😳 (it checks out considering EC has quuiite similar themes, tho genuinely not intentionally haha 💦 since EC's themes are mostly inspired by irl~ 🙂‍↕️) ⬇️BOTTOM - Trevor Belmont from animated Castlevania + Helga from Atlantis⬇️ cheated by shoving in 2 chars (since these are both kinda similarly surface-level influences, but still worth mentioning~) Trevor w/ the good ol' rogue w/ the heart of gold energy which i always love 💖 + Helga's face design/attitude defff lives rent free in my head~~ ❤️‍🔥
angry shirtless Kari from CH32 in training room
preliminary bby Marc refs so far~ overall a light top (so white shirt, or white shirt/golden-ish-vest combo), and dark pants like these. i'm not too picky about sock color, and his shoes will prob just be dark but sleeker, unlike Kari's chonky boots~

Kari (trans guy w/ long hair) nosebleeding at....something...as the scene fades to white underneath ((i officially scared WT readers w/ this i think ajgfd 😭💦))
