sometimes you go to just draw a silly little sketch and then you end up getting carried away and coloring it and messing with adding effects and a background etc etc
Anyway: this is my toon-turned-cog, Foxic Waste (she/it)! She used to be in the Resistance but ended up going in too deep with undercover stuff, realizing she actually really dug them and soon began siding with (and later straight-up becoming one of) them. This was a massive betrayal to the Resistance as a whole and especially to the longtime best friend of hers she joined it with, but she’s become so twisted that she’d still gladly do it all over again, finding their reactions to what she’d done endlessly amusing.
Her design/creation was inspired by Corporate Clash’s “toxic manager” cog!
Looney Wanderers is a "series" that both @ghostie-teeth-art (my main blog) and @linklovepage have been working on for a few years now.
The story is about the main character, Cuphead, who accidentally makes a deal with the Devil (who disguised himself as a common passerby and wanted to gamble with him) which all happened in Catreena's bar. Now, Cuphead has to bring the Devil back his missing contracts from his runaway debtors. Otherwise, he will take his soul. Over time, Cuphead forms a group to help him (both of new and old friends).
These friends are his little but intelligent brother Mugman along with Ernest the Lucky Cat who brings luck to the team without really doing much, Riddi the Picasso toon who brings the team their imaginativeness, Bendy the Demon who can kill almost anything if the team is harmed (especially Riddi), Boris the Wolf who is the sheild of the group, Catreena the Cat toon who is the mom of the group and is also there for the ride, Allison Angel who usually leads the group and is cautious about possible dangers (sometimes to a fault), and last but not least Jesto the Clown toon who kind of tags along whenever he feels like it.
Where can I read it?
Looney Wanderers is in the works on Wattpad and Quotev currently!
there might be slow updates because of burnout or being busy with other things, but it's happening!
Why was Looney Wanderers created?
Looney Wanderers's (originally called "Cupventures") original purpose was to be my personal reimagination of Quest for the Ink Machine (@thebbros) just so I could have fun with it. At this time, both me and Ernest were still in grade school, and still enjoyed Quest. We even made our own characters for the series too (Ernest's being Catreena and mine just being me but quest-ified).
I still have a few vague memories of that era, like the two of us having computer time in class while laughing at stuff we'd find that was QFTIM related, and Ernest asking me to draw what Catreena would look like for the first time.
As I was getting closer to highschool, I sort of grew out of both my Cuphead and Bendy phase (but I think it was mostly out of shame), but then after a few years into highschool, I looked back at Cupventues and decided that it would be at least a little fun to try and make it more original, whilst renaming it "Looney Wanderers," making the characters look more like their canon selves from the franchises that they come from, and completely changing the lore (other than keeping the fact that the series is about a bunch of popular rubberhose-styled toons and putting them into one series).
I dragged Ernest back into it, and we've thought a lot about the character designing, and most of all the lore. I think we're both pretty proud of how it's coming out so far.
Where can I look into the characters and lore?
If you want to look more into the characters and/or lore, I've made a few links so you can read them. There are pages for each individual character, as well as information about what their world is like

{ (link to lore)
Also note that I still have yet to learn how to use certain things in Tumblr, so if something doesn't work, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll try and fix it to the best of my ability. Also, some things might be added or taken away to characters and lore.
Most of the characters in here do not belong to me. (Bendy, Boris and Allison belong to The Meatly/Kindly Beast, Cuphead, Mugman and "The Devil" belong to Studio MDHR, etc.) We have only changed the designs, and the only characters that belong to us are Riddi the Picasso toon, Asha the Poodle, etc.
If you've some this far into reading a little about Looney Wanderers, I just wanted to say thank you! Personally I sort of feel as if this "series" has a little sentimental value to me, because it brings nice memories that I've otherwise wouldn't have had.
drew an interaction me and @donalds-dreamland had when we played together from a couple days ago (my toon is the red deer (goody gumdrops), hers is the green cat (clover)!)
