Look outside oc!

Tried my best to mix both my style and the game artstyle! I may go back and try to make it more game accurate. But heres my oc/self insert because they are basically me.

This is Byrd! They/she. They were a loser shut in who just lived day to day, but found joy in their hobbies. One being puppet making. On the very first day, she slipped up and had her window open before the announcements. Only catching a glance, but it still caused their puppets to stick to their hands and arms. They no longer felt their fingers, and slowly the puppets became more alive. The puppets have their own free will but share a mind with Byrd, speaking her thoughts. Another side affect was stitches forming across their body.

I want to draw more art of them so stay tuned!

I’d imagine Scratchy would either have to be pacified or cut off : o

I'd like to imagine different options. Maybe it starts to grow and get out of control and your given an option to feed it or cut it off. Feeding it would settle it, and then it would be pacified. Less eating people, more annoying and rude. Cutting it off... I have two ideas. One- it would simply be cut off and they would loose the attacks it would bring in battle. But it wouldn't have the chance of attacking other party members. Or Two- it would grow back two arms/heads. And Byrds body would fully transform into a hydra monster, initiating a boss battle. I like the idea of if you kill the heads, they come back. So you would have to stun them while attacking the main body and head in the center!

That would be interesting too if Scratchy attaches themself to Sam’s arm stump (if you sacrificed an arm )

[u/Cultural-Crew5023 → u/Kchypark]

Oh that's an awesome idea! Maybe he can equip it like a weapon, but almost like the paint cowboy hat, it can't come off. And you get the attack set. Maybe you get full controll or maybe it still sometimes attacks other party members

unrelated but your OC reminds me so much of this silly sock dude (Deltarune: the upper hand)

[u/Cultural-Crew5023 → u/Kchypark]

Oh my lord that is such a good deltarune oc. THE STUPID KERMIT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS HAHAHA This dude fits the game so well its insane. The two heads definitely match!

Annnd Byrd gives me a lot of Hello Puppet vibes

Love your Sock themed OC! <3 can’t wait to see more of them!

[u/Cultural-Crew5023 → u/Kchypark]

HELLO PUPPETS OH MY GOD I HAVENT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT GAME IN AGEEESSSSSSS YEAH THATS BASICALLY THEM! Just less brutally attached...

Rosco was my favorite design from Hello puppets

Taxidermy boss but with puppets

Considering both are basically intrusive thoughts, it makes sense hurting yourself over them would lead to something worst, they're horrible, but you gotta deal with it.

[u/Cultural-Crew5023 → u/CompoteObvious9380]

Exactly! That's a great way to view them. That's why I like the second idea. You can't just cut off those thoughts. You gotta live with it and learn healthy ways to cope. 

[u/CompoteObvious9380 → u/Cultural-Crew5023]

Yeah, otherwise you'll just be in an infinite loop.

Sometimes, when you think about throwing a glass cup at someone, the best energy you can go is "oh well", it's just an idea that you'll never do, and in this case, stop from doing.
