Posting these later than I would like to, but man I am so happy to have these done!
This is for the au where Bleck and Timpani are the bros parents. Decided to make Rosalina their younger sister, as I like to give Rosalina a family outside of Lumas.
For each of them I wanted to give them a Tribe of Darkness form. The items to the left of the characters are their capes fully opened, their staff emblem and their hand/glove designs.
The Pixls are just bonus designs that I came up while working on this.

Love the thought of Leo just casually being well traveled to absurd degrees. Like one day they’re facing their new Big Bad of the year and like, Draxum or whoever says that the key to their fight is located somewhere in, like, Latvia or some place, but no one knows where to start.
Then Leo’s like “oh I know a place” and when asked how the heck he could know of one it smash cuts to Leo falling through the ceiling of said place due to a portal mishap.
Also love the idea of Leo, being as accidentally (and then later, purposefully) well traveled as he is, sometimes taking his family on outings to different places all over, maybe to some new Yokai spots he found along the way.
In these places, Leo 100% lets his bros get scammed by tourist traps.

Talking to a someone who is also into occult stuff: Yea, I have weird feelings about calling it a "religion" or "spirituality". I consider myself a soft animist soft polytheist, but divinity is a construct and doesn't necessarily imply significance over other spirits, with a focus on nature energy. But then again, I've changed my mind often and recently, so none of this is set in stone. The best way I can describe it is just "witchy shit".
Talking to literally anyone else: yea, I'm pagan

explanations under the cut
Morana/Marzanna is the goddess of winter, death and rebirth -- you will freeze or starve if you have not prepared for her
Leshy is a forest spirit -- if your family has cursed you, he will come and take you away into the wilderness
Poludnica is the midday demon -- if you don't cease to work in the fields at high noon, she will make you answer riddles and, when you inevitably can't answer, kill you
Baba Yaga is a powerful witch and wastes no time on the useless
Kikimora is a domestic demon, and while she does not usually kill, she has little patience for a messy house...
Vodnik/vodyanoi is a water spirit -- he dislikes hubris and lack of awareness and respect for the power of the vast water
Liho is the ultimate evil -- when you are preoccupied with greed and the material, he will grab your hand or your neck and not let go

Which Witch?
This moment in "Donnie vs. Witch Town" has repeatedly caught my notice, and I’ve now recovered enough to break it down!
First off, here’s the list verbatim:
Visitors
Suzy Bannion
Heather Donahue
Nancy Downs
Minnie Castevet
Katia Vajda
Miss Anjelica Ernst
Samantha Stephens
April O’Neil
Unfamiliar names plus cursive plus a lack of high-quality stills meant decoding this took a little longer than expected.
I have attempted to minimize spoilers for the mentioned horror movies when possible, but in pursuing two contradictory goals, I have accomplished both imperfectly. C'est la vie!
Please note: I am by no means a film buff, so feel free to add any relevant context!
Oh, the Horror . . . [films]!
"Suzy Bannion" would be a reference to the 1977 film Suspiria in which Suzy, a ballet student, finds herself investigating a supernatural coven of witches.
"Heather Donahue" is a homage to the 1999 "found footage" movie The Blair Witch Project*, wherein three student filmmakers investigate a legend of a witch in the woods.
"Nancy Downs", from the 1996 R-rated film The Craft, is one of a trio of students rumored to be dabbling in witchcraft.
"Minnie Castevet", on the other hand, hails from the dark 1968 film Rosemary’s Baby (based on the book by Ira Levin), wherein Minnie’s character is suspected of being a member of a coven.
"Katia Vajda", originates from the 1960 film Black Sunday, (loosely based on Nikolai Gogol’s short story "Viy"). Katia was accused of being a vampiric witch and executed by her brother—but that isn’t the end of her story.
"Miss Anjelica Ernst" simultaneously references Roald Dahl’s 1973 novel The Witches and its 1990 film adaptation of the same name. One member of the notorious child-hating coven is the Grand High Witch, Eva Ernst, who was portrayed by Anjelica Huston on the big screen.
"Samantha Stephens" lives the life of a "good witch" in the 1964 television series Bewitched.
Special Bonus!
"Abigail the Good", founder of Witch Town, may be an allusion to the character "Abigail Pershing" from the 2015 television show Good Witch.
I’ll go ahead and credit my dad as my research assistant; he described these references as "deep cuts".
And really, what higher praise is there?
