SkunkyArt | Fail4Fun — Avenue Refrain's first sketches 'n concepts!

Marion started with round glasses. How surreal.

Yes, Roxy had a chest-mouth from time to time. Why? 'cuz.

Also both girls were gonna be younger by a few years, like 21-22?? That's the weird part.

The actual pet the girls were supposed to have was gonna be a chameleon or an iguana. I'll definitely use that idea for another project, but I think Quesadillas the vampire bat-pug is not a bad decision at all. Definitely a spur of the moment improvisation, though.

Adam and Brad were only supposed to be roommates and everybody was mistaking them for a couple, holy shit. I think them being married is a little more wholesome, but it's funny to look back at some sketches and realise that Adam was celibate and low-key interested in Pete.

There's a few AUs I had in mind, one of which being the "Stardew Refrain" one. There's a few deviations on DA if you don't know just kinda depicting Marion and Roxy as lil' farmers. Another one was about one of the games I was really into back then, The Sexy Brutale (there is also drawings of its characters in the pages surrounding that one, you can really track where I was mentally), where I just kinda drew both girls looking a little more fancy like how the murdered guests are in-game. Hence Marion with the weird helmet and Roxy with the frilly bow, top hat and silly-goggles. And another AU is the "evil version" I guess with Rad Rox and Marion(n)ette (whether you take the french or english spelling). There was supposed to be a whole plot-point I had in mind where Marion dragged Peter along to rescue Roxy in another dimension and they would encounter these alter egos. Hijinks ensue???

Yes, Ninja Sex Party is a music band that canonically exists in that universe.

Roxy wasn't supposed to necessarily have a romantic crush on Marion in the first concept I had but I wouldn't blame you for believing so. I'm just very fast to ship some characters together.

Could Marion and Pete still be a thing in the comic? Would there be rom-com drama of love-triangles and misunderstandings, would they last, would they be happy?? Well what I know is that it'd be pretty funny.

Some cameos from other OCs (and my mouse/anteater fursona), like Leslie, Kristoffer, Zeke, Cassandra and Ninel. And that "I killed Dog the almighty one" chick which is definitely part of the evil AU.

Among all that, lots of the typical loose doodles and some more shippy stuff.
