Where have you buried all the children?

could you draw Doey´s three consciences?

Yay i`ve finally dome the fellas-

they look so silly - Yes, I decided to give em blue secondary color in palms/soles and arms/legs cause reasons

And despite the fact that Matt has the hat on the sketch, it actually changes its owner. It`s like their "talking ball" (that stuff where in the crowd the holder of a ball is the only one who is allowed to speak, so no one will interrupt the talker)

...yeah this is how this scene went

okay but lets be real Matthew was 100% even angrier /srs

FNAF Golden Freddy and Doey’s spirits could get along,,

Okay. Not much new art, but more story-related stuff for this post.

I want to try and dive into how Doey and Gabby's relationship is after the events of Chapter 4 because there's... Potential. For some good ol' angst.

Kissy is missing from this post but I'd like to develop stuff with her too, ESPECIALLY her non-verbal communication aspect. I think it'd be really interesting if both her and Gabby learned ASL together so that they could both understand each other better.

Gave Ava a sort of more fleshed out design. Then later realized I basically gave her one of my siblings personality and I think that's hilarious. And of course I'm gonna keep it that way.

Since Gabby is a self-insert per say, I've gotta make it work with the OG plot of the story since he's too young to be an ex-employee of the factory :'))) (he's also French like I am... Which could result in some funny moments imo lmao) (I also REALLY need to change his name because I don't want him to be named like me so I've gotta work on that too)

Here's how he was before the events of PPT !

(Calling this the "Big Bro & Kids Shenanigans" AU because... Why not. I just like the name to be completely honest. But I'm open to name suggestions!)

Where have you buried all the children?

“Where did you get this?”

Update on PPt OC

I’m going to start working on my ‘ex-worker’ OC, but I’m going to display him in a different kind of format. Mainly through found documents & items, & even written out ‘commercials/broadcast’.

I’m still trying to figure out the style to draw these characters in, I like the cartoon style but the ‘realistic’ style works better for darker themes. I’ll probably bounce between the 2.

I’m also planning on making a second account just for Poppy Playtime OCs, still thinking of a name though. I’ll be moving all of my ppt art to that account once it’s been created.

Anyway, I’ll give the basic background about this character:

The main premise is that he is a parent of one of the orphans in Playcare. Basically his wife took the child there without him knowing until it was too late.

After some unfavorable actions, he got a job at Playtime Co to find his child. However, he got fired & even jailed due to some violent behavior.

He just got released, & under a new identity, he comes back to the now dilapidated factory with the delusion that his child is still there somewhere.

His name is Martin Redd, but that’s not his true name. That will revealed in due time.

By the way, this guy is like in his early 50s during chapters 1-4, so you can imagine what traversing through the factory is like for him.

I’ll reveal more of his character through future posts. But to simplify him as much as possible: he’s a loving father with good intentions, but makes incredibly bad life decisions.

Should I do some character backstory for these 2, like who they were before? I already have something in mind for Mary.

Also should I start on making one of the ex-worker OCs that I mentioned in the past, mainly Samuel?

Poppy Playtime OCs Because Why Not (This is just more for fun)

After watching the play through of Chapter 4 & seeing the amount of fanart (both canon & OCs), I thought it would be fun to come up with some possible concepts for some OCs.

Might draw them, might not, I’m not sure yet.

Anyway below are the concepts:

Toys

Smiling/Nightmare Critter

After the scandal & recall of the Catnap Plushies, Playtime Co tried to create a new character to take Catnap’s place in the Smiling Critters Cast. Wanting to keep the same theme of “a good night’s sleep”, Playtime Co decided to base the design off the concept of “counting sheep”.

The character would be a sheep with white wool & black limbs, & wears a cloud shaped pendant with “Zs” in it or a pillow shaped pendant. They also had a chamomile scent.

They would have been named “Sleepy Sheepy”. However, it never made past the review period due to timing & negative ties to Catnap who both are associated with sleep, & fear that another scandal could occur from this.

This design was then used to create “Baba Chops”: inverted the colors, & changed their personality & along with changing their scent to Anise; who is part of a new line of characters called the Nightmare Critters.

Due to a “special request” from an anonymous source, the concept of Sleepy was altered. The character was changed to be a white lamb wearing a bell shaped pendant, but still kept the chamomile scent.

The character was named “Mary Little” & was used as a limited edition toy to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. They also made a special appearance in the cartoon for the same reason.

Their personality was described to be very curious & a bit naive. They wanted to be friends with everyone & for everyone to feel included. They would’ve act as a peacemaker or negotiator between the Smiling Critters & Nightmare Critters. In the show, they only had one major appearance & would then only appear a couple of times afterwards before the cartoon was discontinued.

Due to them being a limited edition toy, there was only a handful of them produced & was only available during the year 1991. A Bigger Body was never created due to the same reasons above, but there were plans of one if the Catnap Bigger Body became “uncooperative”.

The living toy experiments were also conducted on the plushies as well, but were less in number. After the Hour of Joy, most of the plushies were killed & eaten, with the exception of those that followed Catnap. There was also just one that took refuge in Safe Haven.

Humans

Past Employee: Mary Sawyer

Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. Wanting to grow closer to her father, she tried to gain an internship at Playtime Co.

After seeing her potential, Dr. Sawyer put in a request, & pulled some strings, to give her permission to work with him on the living toys experiments & the Bigger Body Initiative.

However, after seeing the experiments & treatment of the toys, Mary was horrified & wanted to leave. But due to fear of being “taken care of”, she continued to work alongside Dr. Sawyer to secretly gather evidence.

During the Hour of Joy, Mary was out doing an “errand” for the other scientists. When she came back, she saw the aftermath & fled immediately.

10 years later, she returns back to Playtime Co to figure out what happened & to see what happened to the toy & BBI experiments.

-or-

Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. When she was younger, she was often brought to Playtime Co with her father & was used to test the experiments’ reaction to children.

The toys were quite fond of Mary due to her kind-hearted nature & gentle approach. She was often around the Nightmare Critters, who were very affectionate & friendly towards her after she would give them snacks.

After Dr. Sawyer was turned into the Doctor, Mary was sent to live with other relatives & hasn’t been back to Playing Co since.

She would constantly ask about her father & “friends”, but many of the relatives would just change the subject or say they didn’t know what she was talking about. This caused Mary to doubt her memory & the time she was at Playtime Co.

10 years after the Hour of Joy, Mary would run away from her home & return to Playtime Co to find her father & “friends”. However, she only found a factory filled with starved toys & notes written on vhs tapes.

Past Employee: Samuel Barnes

Samuel was the older brother of Kevin Barnes. They were separated, with Sam going to live with his parents while Kevin was sent to the orphanage due to his “behavior”. He was sent to the orphanage at a very young age, so he doesn’t remember Samuel that well.

His family would deny the existence of Kevin whenever Samuel would ask about him. It wasn’t until he turned 18 when he found out the truth.

Enraged by his parents’ actions & concerned for his brother’s safety, would go to Playtime Co to find him, but was denied access to the orphanage.

After creating a fake identity, Samuel would apply for a job to work at Playtime Co. Mainly to gather information & find Kevin, while also needing a job in general.

However, after being caught multiple times trying to look through classified documents, he was fired & banned from the facility. He was then arrested & imprisoned for trespassing & aggravated assault about a couple days after being fired.

10 years later, it’s unknown if he escaped prison or was released early for good behavior, he went back to Playtime Co for closure. But was met with an empty factory filled with starved toys & eaten corpses.

These are just a few ideas for concept ideas for possible OCs, I would like hear what you guys think, & if you all like them then I might make art of them.

Hey guys!

I'm attempting to give my grambell family au a massive re-work, so if you guys could give suggestions on what I should change in the storyline, please do!

Absolutely random Ayers family headcanon that has no proof whatsoever:

I headcanon they were a Christian family

So maybe after the hour of Joy, doey would feel guilty about it for a while because of Jack. But after the toys turned on each other the whole "WHAT WOULD GOD THINK?!" Thing went away. He would have to ditch it for survival.

W.i.p

DOEY MI BEBE

We got a skinny purple dude, a skinny pink crackhead, and a grown man baby crying for his mama. THIS PARTY FINNA BE LIT❗️❗️❗️🔥🔥🗣🗣💯💯

Nothing serious, just some small doodles on an au I've been cooking up for a while.

Human bigger bodies au

Doey:

• After he gets out of his treatment area after six months, he wears his mom's pearl necklace bc he misses her

• Since his hair is made out of dough, he can just shape it into whatever he likes. But he mostly shapes it into a style that resembles how he last remembered his mom's hair.

• his skin is made out of dough as well! But you can't tell unless you poke him

•(USUALLY) doesn't give the scientists any problems( mostly Matthew)

• He gets often lonely in his cell. He's tried talking to other experiments in the ones next to him, but their always either sleep or feral

• sings silly short songs when he's bored( mostly playtime co commercial jingles)

Mommy long legs:

• not very aware at first, but once she realized the body she was in, she began to give the scientists problems

• unhinged

• a couple of things went wrong during her lobotomy

• very motherly to the other experiments(and the staff if they listen)

• flaps and plays with her noodle- like hair when she's bored and also hums melodies

Catnap:

• stays silent most of the time

• doesn't eat very often because he just isn't hungry

•it is also hard for him to eat/ digest due to the way his body has been reconstructed.

• draws on the walls using his fingers/ claws

• sits and waits until the prototype communicates with him again

• despises needles

• picks decent sized chuncks of his skin and hair off when he's bored

• #1 religion forcer/hj

Guys...

Ask me about my au(s) I'm bored

Mostly, ppt, but the other asks, are alright as well

RE- WORKING MY GRAMBELL FAMILY AU BC IT WAS CRAP.

Newly info:

Theodore Grambell, a former orphan of playtime who had grown up there, is now 34 years old and away from the factory. It felt selfish to leave without giving a goodbye to the company and all their "good" deeds. So he decided to permanently care for three young orphans of the place.

The oldest(James) refuses to view Theodore as family.

The middle child(Molly) is your stereotypical "brat" though she is spoiled, not rotten, and she is really grateful to have family again.

Elizabeth(the youngest) While far too young to understand the good that had just happened to her, she was glad to feel warmth again.

If not for Theodore, all three of these young ones were possible selections for "The Big ones" or "The bigger bodies Initiative," as most call it.

Everything seemed peaceful and fine until an "incident" occurred.

An accident at the factory had occurred, causing Theodore to lose his life in the process. The accident made Theodore a perfect selection for "1188" as he was in the past due to another incident with the green hand in the past.

Once Theodore was transferred into his new body, he was pulled away from the home sweet home due to him having odd depressive episodes. The playtime staff took notice of this and pulled him out of the home sweet home to get to the bottom of his odd behavior.

The staff transported him to the interrogation rooms but barely any reply at all. He was in quite a bad state his voice box appeared broken, and he was mentally not doing so well.

Anytime he was asked a question, his only responses would be among the lines of "My children" or "The prototype will save us."

Very silly question

Concept doodles for the rest of the orphans as adults in my "Grambell family" au thingy

These are not the final designs. I will try to make them more accurate in the future.

Why they work at playtime now:

Jack: Nolstiga

Kevin: Needs money and can't find work anywhere else

Mathew: Just wants to help + needs money

Marie: Wants to care for a child+ needs money

Plus, they were all orphans at playtime , so it's the least they can do.

Basically, if the kids were adults during the events of the game( before the hour of joy), they still get turned into the toys they are in the og game.

I already felt bad for the kids in the factory, but "HELL LIKE THIS" was the nail in the coffin for me

I'm late to say this, but the humanity in doey's last tape was incredible.

Funfact: doey is my first ever kin + the only character I actually felt bad for

He kinda made me realize that the rest of them are really just scared kids.
