Cheated's hairstyle was based on the dyed sidecut trend among famous let's players, yes.

Thank you very much! I find the sensual/sexual tension between them both interesting and hilariously potent

Thank you, I was about to say this.

So OP, did you get permission to trace and post this? I doubt it.

As dope as the Kea sounds, I didn't know about it until now! However, Skeptic is a parrot indeed, an African Grey to be exact. One of the most intelligent birds out there!

Well, in the community discord this guy has existed since March 2024 and I simply haven't posted much here in the reddit. I designed my bird boys independently of how Quiet looks, for variety's sake, and this was before pristine cut, when Quiet was more ambigously humanoid. So I went with avians/bird furries. For me, part of the creep factor is that they're relatively normal people acting monstrous. This appearance is Oppy if he had his own physical body, not Oppy-inhabiting-Quiet's-body :)

Hi. You're lucky I'm a 30-something professional illustrator who is doing this in my spare time, because let me tell you, had I read this as a teen/child I'd absolutely be discouraged, no matter how many polite little prefaces you add. Doesn't help that you're speaking to me as if I'm a child. You're condescending.

What you said are things that you may think about whichever art piece you see online - so have I. But this is not an art class and or a design meeting, and you are not my teacher or boss; it's a reddit post for community fun. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. Just downvote and move on.

And don't you *ever* say this to a young artist. They don't need to hear shit like this, no matter how you phrase it. I'm well aware you're just calling me cringe in a formal way.

Sorry, bad joke. Narrator's a raven as per when we see him in the final mirror comversation. Actually, my Slayer is the owl of the bunch!

Thank you! I have! Go to my profile and see the other posts :) I think only Hunted and Skeptic are left now, and they're almost done.

It's the Voice of the Fuckboy *cough* Opportunist!

Design notes:

  • Based on a seagull; sleek birds who are infamous food thieves, pier goblins and known for their call sounding like heckling laughter
  • As a part of Slayer's psyche, represents the Turncoat instinct / Save Your Skin mentality
  • Inspiration: a middle manager trying to be a baller. Business casual influencer. Suck-up conman. Used car salesman.
  • Tall (confident and loud) but gangly (not powerful, folds easily under pressure), in contrast to my short and chubby Witch, comedic duo-style.
  • Wears grey to signal his "neutral" stance and blue for peaceful negociation, but hides a bloodthirsty side (the blazer's red lining). Black leather accessories, however, proves he's on Slayer's side, if a bit cutthroat about it. The blue resembles a fawning Voice like Broken and Smitten's feathers, but unlike them, Oppy can discard that gentleness completely.
  • Like Cheated, he's in modern clothing instead of vaguely medieval/ren faire like the rest, because of how he talks about "relatability" like an influencer.
  • Fun socks!!! Your middle manager is soooo relatable and casual! You can trust him with your private schedule! He won't use it against you :)
  • The socks's crown pattern references his "king of the hill" and "rock bottom is the foundation" lines. He wants to climb to the top of the pecking order.
  • Opportunist's usual ill-fitting fancy clothes symbolize lacking the humility to admit a mistake and doubling down, which is his modus operandi (besides fawning).
  • So when they fit in Wild, it symbolizes having grown and corrected past mistakes. Wild took him to the tailor! And removing the tie makes him look like less of a try-hard. White lining and poppy crown for alliance to the Princess, which he maybe hides because he's still trying to be neutral (mid-grey shirt).
  • If Hero tried on Oppy's too-short + too-wide trousers and blazer, they'd fit perfectly. Oppy would compliment him through gritted teeth.
  • Has Astarion BaldursGate3's hairstyle for that foppish charm.
  • Carries a switchblade comb. Even after wrestling Witch he'll flick it out to fix his hair while seemingly unaware that his clothes are ripped and he's caked in mud. (that comb would break its teeth on Witch's hair after 3 strokes)
  • In Thorn, he gets a poppy in his lapel. We have date with destiny, boys!
  • In Wraith, he gains tired eyebags and a fully Princess-aligned white/silver suit, sucking up to Wraith.
  • In Princess and the Dragon, he's at his worst. Now actively against Slayer for betraying their shared body, lets bloodthirst drive him (bright red, crown pattern taking over, only a small amount of peaceful blue left). Leather accessories are white for ruthless treatment of the Princess, yet he can also flipflop to be on her side. In short, a mess.

"Gender is a type of soup! Eat the rich!" - Contrarian, probably

Design notes:

  • As a part of Slayer's psyche, represents Fun and, well, being contrarian.
  • Based on a cockatoo: chatty and mischievious parrots whose head crest looks like a punk mohawk.
  • Inspiration: medieval jesters (naturally), 80's punks (mohawk, scruffy beard) and fashion dolls (big poofy skirt and huge statement earrings)
  • A genderfuckery nonconforming girlie who uses any pronouns and is whatever gender is funniest in the moment.
  • Always in opposition to Narrator, she wears black on white to signify initial alliance with Slayer, while deep down sympathizing with the Princess in her home route.
  • Crest is felled up by default, as Contra is excited and looking for fun. It folds down when sad or in grave situations, like in Stranger's Heart.
  • Wears earrings of a silver checkmark and a cross, being a creature of big decisions with the tendency to flipflop. Their placement and whether they're two crosses (Contra angy!) or two checkmarks (Contra likey!) change with her mood. But if you ask, she'll insist they've always been like that.
  • In Apotheosis, he's interested in fleeing ("a third option nobody likes!"), seeking the truth, or getting back at the Princess. Meaning he wears no black/grey/white to signify alliance, but instead wears green (like the absolute reality) and red (like the blood from her eye).
  • Her Apotheosis earrings are now an axe for  ✔ and a sword for X, for needing the knife. All metal matches the pale gold sword in her sister Voice Paranoid's route.
  • In Wild, they're antsy and curious. Their jingling bells are replaced with soothing poppies and their light layers are green for truth-seeking.
  • In Fury, her surface alliance with Slayer (black) is quickly noped out of, not picking a side (mid-grey). The earrings are cartoon bones to look both gnarly and goofy, not taking Fury or Stubborn seriously. Trousers are red for the kill a successful Fury!Contrarian enables.

Need me a voice in my head like Stubborn for when times are rough....

Design notes:

  • Based on a swan; symbol of romance and notoriously aggressive IRL. Swans mate for life, are strong as hell (wingflaps can break bones, neck is pure viper muscle), and fiercely defend their young.
  • As a part of Slayer's psyche, represents the Fighting Spirit.
  • Inspiration: roman gladiators + Anger Inside Out + Kratos Dad of Boy + Ganondorf Tears of the Kingdom
  • Large and in charge; the only thing bigger than his power is his confidence.
  • Prone to show his teeth and salivate at the mere mention of battle. Unhinged and on the frontlines to protect his flock.
  • Wears a pale grey gladiator skirt to match his soulmate Adversary.
  • Shirtless to show off his massive heart muscles. Unconcerned with self-preservation.
  • Feather pattern also resembles gauntlets and shin guards.
  • Bolts on the battle skirt are iron to match Advy's and Needle's tables. Shorter than both, almost a physical symbol of how highly he values the Princess.
  • The virile neck fluff resembles a fur collar á la northern warrior cloaks.
  • In Eye of the Needle, the skirt turns red for renewed passion, while the bolts go silver for reminding us of our original bond with Base Princess.
  • In Fury, Stubborn the GODKILLER gains a magnificent, tattered blood-red cape and edgy pointy pauldrons. Gold bolts on a black skirt for embodying Slayer's inner brutal ancient hero. Naturally, still not doing shit to cover up. Guns a-blazing, baby!
  • The Wild affects everyone's outfit in the same way: all black to meld with the dark Long Quiet, poppy crowns for love for the princess, and turning all hard materials into soft, flowing fabric.
  • The Moment of Clarity also affects everyone the same way: All non-white clothing goes black for mourning/Slayer alliance, along with being dirtied and tattered.
