Hello everybody! It’s been quite a while since I did this (last time was just before my school year finished) so it’s exciting to get back into it! the process is as follows

- ill select a good handful of OCs from the comments

- i shall draw them to suit my type of style (note drawings may be headshots, half body’s, etc)

- I’ll try my best to get the pieces to you asap

With that, I hope to come across some amazing OCs to draw!

I’ve been trying to figure it out, but the closest I could find is just regular sleeve garters (2nd image), and those aren’t really straps more so bands. Is this fashion piece an Araki original or does it actually have a name?

Never really drew him before so figured to give him some love

History:

hidden deep in the tropical islands of Hawaii, there lies a secret village of cheerful people living their life in peaceful bliss. The Village People know no struggle or strife, where everything seems to be handed to them on a platter free of charge. This easygoing life does have a cause behind it all, hung up inside the village chiefs hut lies an ancient tiki mask carved by the villages original founding chief.

The founding chief carved the mask as a good omen for his village, the wish worked and the village was protected from outside issues and conflicts

upon the chiefs final moments of life, he prayed to the gods that his village would continue to be protected under the mask for generations to come. Once again his wish worked and the mask would become the sign of good omen and wishes for the village to this day, representing the chiefs desire to protect his village and people.

Ability:

The mask possesses the ability to induce a positive headspace onto the inhabitants of the village, relieving them of any troubles they might be experiencing.

The mask also has the secondary ability of wishful thinking, if what the inhabitant wants isn’t harmful to others, there is a high chance that said wish will be granted to them to keep them content and happy in the village.

Drawbacks:

incredibly stubborn people, such as those with anger issues, are harder to induce the effects upon compared to average people, usually requiring an elongated stay in the village to feel the mask’s influence

Alignment:

the mask, and the inhabitants as well, hold no ill will to even outsiders who stumble upon their village by mistake. Much like Tonio’s Pearl Jam, the mask, more so the founding chiefs will, simply wants to help people experience a nice and leisurely experience while in their village

TL;DR

A Hawaiian village housing a society of happy inhabitants, thanks to a Tiki mask and their founding chiefs will.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them!

Namesake - “Mele Kalikimaka” by Bing Crosby

oh gee, I wonder what their pose is based off on the 1st. now I’m off to ponder the creation of a new guy to add In this, shared universe? (unsure if theyd all coexist on the same part if I ever got around to it)

All that’s left is Mr “dancing, walking, rearranging furniture”

The second stand that I ended up redesigning after originally posting it (first being Nasty Habits, formerly Dark Side Moon)

one of my first “popular“ ones on this subreddit, that fact gives it a special place in my heart

one of my personal favorites among my stands, didn’t intend to go as dark with the gray as is shown, but I tried to make it work

wanted to give my first stand design some love, some violent love 🥁

inspired from his ghost alley outfit (my personal favorite outfit besides the Janken Boy fight fit)

short backstory found on Monster Mash’s original post, but I’ll put it here for convenience:

“Weird“ Al, a nickname given to him by his coworkers for his bizarre mannerisms when talking to people, grew up with a strange infatuation of using animals as subjects for his secret surgeries done when his parents weren’t home. in these surgeries he would sew various animal parts onto unorthodox areas, such as a bird leg onto a cats hind leg, or a literal CatDog. he did this to explore the limits of physical altering on organisms, this bizarre tendency lead him to get hold of a medical job at his local hospital, but even when surrounded by non animals, his needs still needed satisfaction, which then turned into secret human surgery through “borrowed patients” all these various surgeries lead to the development of his stand, Monster Mash, later on in his career. using its ability of mixing and mashing human body parts with expert precision, he garnered admiration as one of the head surgeons of his local hospital, this fame would allow him to slide by with his secret operations more easily, and also allow him to interact with more people to scout out potential donors to his “personal project”

that’s all I really have for him, I’m hoping to turn this into a semi regular series, where I draw the users of all my previous stands. if there are any questions you have about Weird Al, I’d be happy to answer

fun fact: I used Rohans alternate hands to get the gestures how I wanted them to (plus the hands for the DIO figure itself feel too big IMO
