“//The Dark Monolith sounds interesting. And if you need some cool…”
Oooo it’s beautiful! I’m curious tho, originally the Dark Planet and The Smiling God (I believe those are the names in the thing) were (obscure) characters in Welcome to Nightvale. I’ve never listened, just know stuff from my friend. I know you OCified Father Abner (congrats on that by the way) so are these characters in At The Unearthly County, is that yours now? Like I said I’ve never listened to the podcast so I can’t tell.
oh yeah, the characters originally started as my interpretation of how those beings might have look at the show, you see, on WtNV we never actually got a description of the smiling god besides “brighter than the sun“ and “unraveling of the universe”, so all his imagen is purely mine; DP on the other hand, was described as vision of this weird…dark planet lit by no sun, so yeah, it was exactly that
After how they end up the whole desert bluffs/strex crop arc, I no longer cared about the show, but I cared about my version of the smiling god and dark planet have become, so I decided adopting them as OCs becuase, anyways, they already were that, I doubted that if the show presented them as real things or characters, they would in fact look like how I made them looking!
they are now characters at my eventual comic of At The Unearthly County, parents of my kid Sunday, they still keep some of trails they had when I made them according to WtNV but they are just mine now, they have their own stuff and personality going on
