You mentioned that if we know Denji’s characterization of Killer and Killer’s original backstory that we should understand why he’s so touch starved and has such a messed up definition of love. Is there any way you could tell me who Denji is?? I’m very curious now lol
Denji is a character from Chainsaw Man. I recommend you read the manga or watch the anime - though just the anime alone won't grasp the inspiration I derived from the character into Killer.
I also took inspiration from Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen) but more so from his younger self more than the present Gojo.
(These are just drawn for the sake of meme-ing, not actually AG Killer's design)
Further down is explanation and slight spoilers. I don't talk much about it since I want most information to be a slow burn reveal for the characters, as if the audience is getting to know the AGDT cast in real time. (I am a sucker for narratives where it keeps you wanting to psycho-analyze a character rather than revealing everything upfront.)
Starting off with Denji, he's a teen boy who suffered through poverty and taken advantage of for labor just because he's willing to do anything just to get by in life. He's a boy who will do anything to live a normal teen life without having to worry about if he'll die from starvation. Along the story of CSM, he's been treated poorly due to how easily he can be manipulated - he literally has no idea of his own rights as a person. He's also very emotionally unaware because he's lived all alone his life except for a friendly devil named Pochita, who gave his heart to Denji so he can live and become chainsaw man to protect himself. Again, this is just a rough summary I made of Denji's character and I can't exactly explain it here! I recommend watching character analysis video that can further explain him or- you can also check at the original source (manga or anime) yourself which I believe will be worth it since CSM is such a good story.
In AGDT, I suppose you can consider Chara as Killer's Pochita, but in a more unhealthy / partners in crime way. I'll leave that up for the future to explore since at the moment, that's not what I want AGDT to focus on.
As for young Gojo, he's also complicated. He believes himself to be invincible and he can rub off as cocky most of the time. In the story, he holds no compassion or positive feelings for people who are weak - which is essentially everyone for him since he views himself as the strongest. This changed for a while when he was tasked to protect someone - he grew fond of them. However, later on this care disappeared when he perfected a technique - his feeling of pride for himself was stronger than his care for the person he was meant to protect. Gojo is usually nonchalant and playful, also emotionally unaware most of the time as he only thinks about himself (and a fellow 'strongest one' ahem, Geto but that's something I'll ramble for another day). However, he does go absolutely crazy when he's in intense fights since he's absolutely determined to win out of pride.
I would love to talk about what else Killer takes from Gojo but I'd feel like I'd be spoiling everything so I'll leave it for another time to talk about or explore.
There's other medias I took inspiration from for other parts of AG Killer but again, it's a subject to navigate around another time.
I hope this gave some insight on how this variant of Killer is and I hope you enjoyed reading through it!
With mine, I'm trying to have a bit of a theme for the heavy hitters (Ink, Error, Dream, and Nightmare) that being incorporating some elements of their past history, there personality, but most importantly what they're trying to achieve (while still having elements of there original design of course).
Take my Nightmare for example. The lore I have for him is that he's been in alot of wars and has fought on both sides, so I gave him some army like boots and pants with his shirt tucked in, he's also preserves himself as a "king" so I made his jacket look more like a stereo typical king's rob thing.
That's about all I got hope it helps
I like the first one BTW OwO
Trying to make my own designs for the different Sans' but is having trouble with Nightmare. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. None of these are finale, but might be outfits he uses for deferent occasions?
(Cause the average Sans is short, Nightmare and Dream will be 159 cm... OwO)
The Fun Gang finally arrive in Queen's lair, and attempt to take her on! But it's far from easy to battle an ancient, dark god...especially one so steeped in acid!
PHEW dang this part took me WAY longer to finish than I was expecting, but finally, as many have asked, we have the Queen boss battle! Next part will be up tomorrow!
mafia nightmare this mafia nightmare that, yeah sure, he's hot and all i guess, but what about his brother hmm? where's that fine hunk of bone, why does no one ever ask about him hmm? (sorry this is stupid, but i thought it was funny lol)
Fancy grandpa, fancy grandpa-!
Man I'm risking my life here for you-
Nightmare literally owns my soul, if he learns about it.....
In the recent Undertale newsletter, Toby Fox showed off an unused scene that would have occurred in the Judgement Hall had the player decided to speedrun the game! This scene features Sans chastising the player for being early and slowly eating an ice cream for about a full minute while an original, slow song plays. I’m sure this would have been quite a headache for speedrunners!
Using monster magic without the external source of a human soul can lead to physical and... mental damage....
The lack of magic isn’t life threatening to the monsters, as long as they don’t use up the magic left in them.
as well as dusting in some cases.
Sans, unaware of the possibile change, had to learn about it in the hard way.
The skeleton tried teleporting as he usualy does, but he ended up almost dying in the proces.
His fragile body started dusting after taking that little shortcut of his, and he most likely would have if not the fact that his brother was there to help him.
Papyrus rushed over to Sans and started healing him, causing his body to take some damage as well, but the younger skeleton has more strenght than his brother, atleast physical one.
Both of them ended up with a few injuries that will forever remind them of that incident.
