I said at the end of my big Devil Theory Headcanons post that I would “hiberate” for a while. I did genuinely meant that as taking a break from BRC fan art to do other stuff, but well, that didn’t work out because I ended up making OCs!!

Inspired by other people’s designs for unique cyberheads, like this set and these designs, I was thinking, “Ooo, imagine someone having a cyberhead that looks like a plague doctor’s mask!” That lead to Rook (the top two pics) and then eventually a whole crew for her, lol

(More rambling under the cut!)

Note that I tried using copy-paste and warping to make the turnarounds easier to draw. That… did not work out as well as I hoped, I can see some stuff that are off about the turnarounds, oops. Welp lesson learned!! Anyways.

• I have “Umbra Apex” in quotes since I’m noooot 100% sure if I wanna go with that name? Or even continue to develop these OCs after this. Still, I think I might stick with Umbra Apex as the crew name just because it’s probably the best name I could come up with lol
• Rook of course is a cyberhead, but the rest of her crew are just wearing masks (designed to be combos of plague doctor masks and gas masks).
• The crew is sort of a reverse situation as FUTURISM. Rook is a lady but the rest of her crew are all guys.
• The default movestyles for the whole crew are inline skates.
• The regular crew’s outfits are inspired by cybergoth fashion.
• Rook’s coat is inspired by a very specific music video. If you know, then you know. :u
• Rook’s top hat is mainly meant to be a pun. “Rook” is a type of corvid, but also, y'know, the chess piece too lol
• The rest of the crew are also named after corvids too of course. I probably should have labeled them as Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter too to match the in game alts, but whatever, just assume they’re in the same order too! :P
• Rook is a tall lady and the rest are pretty short (in comparison to her at least?)

So yeah, that’s about it! For now? Maybe, I dunno.
