Wick (Easter Form Concept) (Patreon)
Content
I got an idea for a chocolate-covered marshmallow girl and I had to scribble it down. However, instead of making a new character from scratch that I'll never use again, I decided that I could apply this concept to an existing character that I'll never use again: Wick, the werepinata.
If you don't remember Wick since her last appearance 256 years ago, basically, she turns into a pinata every full moon. But I was thinking, what if her transformation was different when the full moon falls on a specific day? For example, a chocolate bunny on Easter, a present on Christmas, or a cake on her birthday. There's a lot of directions that you could go with this concept. Unfortunately, I don't think that I've drawn enough of Wick in her normal forms to warrant introducing even more. Wick is kinda infamous for being a character that I like a lot but have never had a chance to draw. I'll have to fix that before building on her lore. (Speaking of lore, how exactly do Easter and Christmas fit into my characters' galaxy? The existence of these holidays has huge implications--like the car pope in Cars 2. There are some things that we were never meant to know.)
Whereas Wick's pinata form is extremely dangerous, I thought it would be funny if some of her alternate forms where completely useless. These extra forms are essentially glitches and as a result, they're a bit "buggy". Her Easter form has a strong start as an unstoppable speedster that hides thousands of eggs around town, supernaturally compelling people to find them all or face some ominous consequence. However, the whole thing kinda falls apart when she breaks open and turns into a harmless marshmallow. It unclear what she would've done to people if this didn't happen, but it's probably for the best.
Since this post is not nearly wordy enough as is, let's talk about moon cycles. On Earth, a full moon lands on a specific day every nineteen years (don't quote me on that--I only know what Google tells me). This would make day-specific forms for Wick very uncommon. However, Wick does not live on Earth. She lives on the yet-to-be-named planet where I toss all of my random characters. Perhaps full moons are more common there? Or more consistent? I'll have to develop this further.
Dang, I've gotten to the point in my life where I'm plotting out the movements of stars and planets to explain how a girl bwomps into a marshmallow. And you're paying me to do it.
