And to conclude this AU showcase
here are the villains

"So, if you don't remember; at the start of last year (2022), I got inspired to make a Ratchet and Clank AU (since hyperfixation thanks to getting the DVD of the movie in November) of Cinderella after 2021 was filled with adpatations for them.
AND HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF CAUSE 2022 HAD THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE CLASSIC ITALIAN STORY: PINOCCHIO!
andironicallyenough,thedisneyonewastheworselmao
And since in 2022, I got into a fandom about puppets that came to life via magic, it's no wonder I decided to create this AU.

The basic AU story goes like this:
Owen Gubberson was a lonely man, dedicating his life to his pride and joy: his four puppets, and sharing them with the small village for the children; the Handee family! Consisting of Mortimer (the father), Dasiy (the mother), Nicolas (the eldest son) and Riley (the youngest daughter). One night, a blue fairy arrived into his cottage and brought the puppets to life in order to give Owen a family. And at first, things were going well... But outside of Mortimer, the rest of the puppets felt unfurfilled by their wooden bodies and snuck out to explore the human world, discovering a new reason to be alive... But after bad results from their expereinces, the trio get scolded by Owen and espeically Mortimer; saying they should throw their dreams away since they can't get them as puppets. So, the trio decide to go and find the fairy to turn them into human. HOWEVER, Mortimer catches on and stops them before they cross the bridge to travel the world; and while trying to return them home...the family begins their own adventure of a lifetime. Meanwhile, Owen gets to open up to new friends (the people the puppets felt an impact on) as they join him on the quest to find him.
I will say that the rest of the story is roughly the same; a evil mastermind kidnaps one of the puppets to make into a slave, they wind up on a isolated island where they partly turn into Donkeys, get swallowed up by a monsterous whale and sacifice their lives to the point of being reawarded. But, there are some things that I want to keep secret as I may or may not write it for the summer fanfic (or just a regular fanfic). But, I will say that one nasty character from the original game gets a bit of a remdemption arc in this story..."

Now, instead of what's expected, I'm gonna go in order of appearance rather than the traditional left to right lol (I did this to reverse the previous compilation of references. heh heh But here, these aren't based of existing Hello Puppets characters (kinda) so I decided to use this as a way to experiment with character design troupes of using shapes and colours to portray a character's personality/role on appearance alone.

The Puppeter
Basically the Stromboli character, I was partly inspired from the Del Toro Pinocchio film by making appear more fox like, as he tricks Nick Nack into joining his show after the prince puppet falls into despair after some very cruel words from Mortimer. He also has a magic whip that he uses on Nick to try turning him back into a marionette puppet, but he's thankfully rescued by his family and they escape. He uses sharp edges but friendly hues of Orange and Brown to give a scary sense to him as he's partly based off a fox.

The Coachman
Made to seem like a Santa like character, this Coachman uses his polite performance and approachable appearance to lure children to Pleasure Island where they play and do whatever they want, with free foods/drinks that seemingly don't contain any of the dangers, BUT does have the consequences of turning those who consume the treats into Donkeys. For his design, I did a reverse action, where I used dark hues of green to represent greed but also add the contrast of his circular body type.

Monsco The Sea Monster
And one that is based more obviously on a Hello Puppets character, this one being on the monstrous form Rosco has in the first HP game. Monsco is a sea monster that kind of looks like a whale, but with an out stretched lower jaw, cut and scars caused from scraping his body against the rocks and the failed attacks from humans. And please note, this isn't in scale with the villains, as I imagine that the size of a human being the same size as one of his tooth.

I hope you like this reference sheet
and this AU idea I've had for a long while
