Posting these before I go to sleep bcs I’m tired but I couldn’t stop thinking of this, D-GANG REDESIGNS GRAHHH

Ok so I have my own thoughts and little tidbits about the designs soooo hehehe!!

Don:

I LOVEEE designing jester outfits I had to give him the whole fit

Spades motif because spades represent rebellion, transformation, and acceptance. Since he was the first d-gang member we saw be redeemed-ish I thought it’d fit

Trident from s3 :)

Richard:

Adapted his s1 design, slicked his hair back bcs Nick would wear his down/forward. I didn’t want to give him the cowboy design he had in s3 because although it’s cool I also don’t think he’d want to continue being like Nick when by then he’s come into his own identity as a person

Diamonds motif for hard-working, growth, and hidden depths, but also diamonds are one of the lower classes and Richard was a grunt man for Duni

Dashlie:

Similar to Richard where I adapted her s1 fit, I think she’d experiment more with fashion though and end up with a more alternative style compared to Ashlie’s preppier one

Clubs motif for hotheaded, recklessness, and strength. Like diamonds it’s lower in the ranking

She has a scar through her right eye, mainly due to the 100th episode, she has a mechanical eye and you’d sooner catch her DEAD for the hundredth time than going near an eyepatch and end up being compared to Duni

Duni:

Tried to give him a warmer, cozier look. I have a good amount of headcanons about Duni, one of which being he isn’t actually a clone of Uni but was just so obsessed with him he kept resetting the world, doing whatever it would take for him to fall in love with him, and slowly became more and more like him in an attempt to have him love him more

Mostly based on his s3 design but take off the eyepatch and give him his regular eyes and it’s just what I imagine for his s1 design

Hearts motif for romance, dependance, and passion

DDawn:

Very fancy man, his design doesn’t change much from season to season other than him getting more banged up so this is a s1 design and then in later seasons his clothes are more torn and his screen cracked

Instead of a card suit he gets the “A” for ace, the most powerful card in any suit. This is mostly to represent how he planned to kill Duni and take the wish for his own, he was the last living D-Gang member

Ngl, accidentally Squip inspired with the circuit pattern

All of them have a “D” emblazoned somewhere on their outfits

#Don and Richard have their ‘D’ symbol on opposite sides of their chest because uhhhhhhh #I love the lgbtq community #the hardcore quest #thq #Unicomics THQ #thq d-Gang #DonDon THQ #Richard THQ #Dres THQ #Dick THQ #Dashlie THQ #Duni THQ #DDawn THQ #ok but my idea with Duni is that #in the original timeline before any of the resets #he was just another random pug that uni met #named something else completely #and he found and used the runes to reset the world when something really bad happened and uni died #and he met uni again and fell in love with him #and he realized he could just keep finding the runes and resetting the world #until he got it right and uni fell in love with him #and he became so obsessed that he started dressing similar to him #dyed his hair similar to him #set up these schemes to always have his attention #made his own dawnbot #made clones of his friends to be ‘closer’ to him #cause to me it’s weird that a clone would be in love with the original #especially if he’s a clone then unis sibling would already be his siblings and that’s just weird #I dont like the duni x uni ship though cause it’s toxic. but I just want it to be a little less weird in universe #Reese’s art

okay so i followed an old friend from a really long time ago on here and he still posts about this minecraft role play series that we became buddies over!! so he’s doing a challenge for october and everytime i see it i am reminded of the horrors

the horror in question: one of my biggest oc universes, something i’ve been writing for 6 years, is based off of this minecraft role play. but nay, not just the role play. a fan fiction. of the roleplay. where i inserted my own character into it 😭

and it snowballed into this elaborate, thought out project that is the nearest and dearest to my heart ever 😭 so much so that i eventually want to make it into its own webtoon series/animated show. like literally the reason i continued to pursue art and storytelling and i just think it’s so funny how my entire life was literally changed by a fucking minecraft role play from 2016

LIKE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HOURS DEDICATED TO HANDCRAFTING AND PLOTTING AND LOVE AND MY LIFES PURPOSE WHEN I WAS AT MY LOWEST

OVER A FUCKIRNG

MINECRAFT DOG PLAYING HARDCORE MINECRAFT W HIS FRIENDS WHERE THEY ALL HAD EVIL COUNTERPARTS WHERE THE FIRST LETTER WAS REPLACED WITH A D. WHY IS MY FAVORITE OC BASED OFF OF DUNI THE DOG. WHY.

anyways TLDR shoutout unicomics- who produced something he loved which in turn made me produce smth i love

ALSO SHOUTOUT @beetolbugs FOR REMINDING ME AKCNSKXJ

THQ BE UPON YE

Had some technical difficulties with the tablet so we're back in the olden times for rn (plus this is a personal reference for locations in the au :)))

See if you can find all the episode references or smthn but I'll explain some stuff in the tags :p

#thq #the hardcore quest #rata art #Down the list we go #firstly there's Grocery Kingdom #Then there's the s1 house which I'll be using as S2 Ashlie's childhood home #Mostly cause I'd imagine s1 Nick would travel more than s1 Ashlie #Then there's the chicken court which has been massively upgraded #Harmacy owned by the wizard in s3 #S2's treehouse which idk if I'll make it canon #There's also the houses that Richard and Don would be staying in #Not to mention Bane's lighthouse #There's that vampire mansion from S1 #As well as Fish Tornado which is a sushi place owned by the penguins :D

Every once in a while I’ll see people liking my old THQ (The Hardcore Quest) art and it makes me really happy for some reason. Probably one of my longest running special interests and I met a lot of cool people though it, shout out to my mutuals from that time I don’t really talk to anymore I still love you guys <3

(id: art of the dgang from the hardcore quest. lava pours down from the right. duni, on the very left, stands to the side, a glowing globe floating above his paw. his hair is burning away and his expression is neutral. uni, offscreen, reaches a paw out towards duni with unclear intentions. a cactus sits behind duni and to the left of dashlie, who looks ahead with a furrowed brow and says something. in front of her is a striped, bloody hat with a bell. behind her is dick, almost like a shadow except for the bright red blood on his shoulder. he's turned away and looking back behind him. ddawn stands in front of the lava, looking up at duni, with a bloody sword, a crack along his face, and a hole showing a mainframe in his shoulder. the blood and lava are bright and featureless /end id)

The End

#technically. this is a redraw. but the only place you can find the old versions are my (deleted) twitter and my. sigh. old wattpad account. #thq #talks #the hardcore quest #art #duni #ddawn #dashlie #dres #was messing around with colors and not particularly attentive to lineart. so if youre wondering what is up with that cactus. yeag 👍. #blood tw #also. i DID doublecheck to see if ddawn used a sword to push dunininto the lava. he did not. i drew one anyway. shhhhhh
