/coc/ - Projects

STARGAZE
LAN-STAR
ROBOPUPPY

First sketch for the project. Was later considered as the concept of an older show (1940s-1950s) starring these three characters, where Stargaze was a Superman rip-off.

ROBOPUPPY

This design (the one in >>419584) had the most staying power.
>Anon: Peak mascot design. We are millionares. No- billionares.

STARGAZE

>Added a bit of shining gundam to him. also debated on him having pants or not, but went with the he-man route.
>He's got to look more royal tho.

STARGAZE

>Yeah, I'm trying to go for that crown helmet design.

STARGAZE

One based drawfriend single-handly opened the path to 90's Stargaze. And it seems there will be mechas and power suits.

URSA-LA

This artist (later known as Comet-anon) would go on to become one of the greatest contributors in the threads. He's based beyond belief.
Here's the first design of Ursa-La, that changed in later threads.
>Here's a first concept for Ursa-La, the bear alien love interest. I think her planets a bit more primitive so has more of a tribal aesthetic, but of course they still have lasers and other sci fi shit. The weapon I gave her is a special bo staff that also has a laser gun at the end of it. >She can also scratch with her claws.

STARGAZE

>another sketch of Starro. dialed back on the neck armor bud added a shoulder pad for his royal cape.

URSA-LA

>I like the look... could you try some braids to give a bit of female viking? Perhaps also make the ears rounder? Those looks more like a koala.

>I agree on the ears, I fixed them here.
>As for braids, she already has them wrapped around the side of her head. In her original design I didn't post the braids hung down and were more obvious, as well as she had longer hair but I remembered these are supposed to be plastic action toys so the long hair would make her less articulate being a solid lump of plastic hanging off the back of her head (pretty sure brushable hair was more of a girl's toy thing) I could maybe give her one or two long braids on the back of her head if you think that'd look good, since that shouldn't interfere with articulation too much.

COMET

Comet by Comet-anon. I can't quantify the influence this little drawing had on the project.
>Okay so here's my initial concept design for Comet. I remember her being described as sort of a tomboy so I tried to reflect that in her design while also keeping her appropriately feminine for the time period. Here I based her on the elfin/cat alien look, if we decide to go with that for her alien heritage.

CICADRE

Her original design. It will become less cartoonish later, but this is about it.
>Someone mentioned an insect milf villain. Had a go at designing one. The claws on her hands are her main weapon, they can poison people they scratch, and inflict viruses in machines as well. Her cloak is supposed to have an insect wing pattern, like on her collar but I didn't want to draw it all.

SIGIL

>I designed it with the cat-elf aliens that make up Comet's alien ancestry in mind when I designed him, if we go with Sigil being from that species.

URSA-LA

90's Ursa-La.
Ngl, she makes me feel things. Wholesome things.
Also, great characterization, read the text in the picture if you can.

TONNS

There were many heroforge designs in the old threads. One in particular became a beloved character (Trancia, coming up later). Tonns is the leader of the Scraphunters and there's a design for one of her crewmates (Klawfang, coming up later too).
>Scraphunter Tonns. A She Troll-like, hunter for scraps of all kinds on a mostly junk area on a planet looking for big hunts for big finds; no matter the cost. Could work as a side-character working for either side in exchange for info/rare game.

KLAWFANG

>Here's another side character that is seldom a part of Tonne's Scraphunter group that's a crossbolt and short-blade welding, tall canine with a western theme that savors a stand-off from the best named Klawfangs.

TRANCIA

Heroforge design of Trancia. Later, Comet-anon will make sure to make her unforgettable.
>Behold! Conshock’s daughter who I spent some time on.
>I decided to make her a fawn to emphasize her innocence and also gave her some stripes and spots like a cuttlefish.
>Her spiked shock collar is slightly hidden, but it’s there

STARGAZE

>here is a pic in a Capcom like style.

STARGAZE

>Anon: He looks like a guy I can believe in

COMET

>I kept her design relatively simple because she is an animated character, and I feel the simplicity plays into her childness.
>I feel she could be pretty acrobatic and dexterous. Plays into her elf/cat design.

COMET

WINSOR & 01

There is/was an idea about SpaceCOPS, an interplanetary organization that is something like the police or the interpol. The head of the organization would be Hammer Hex, a robot (?), and (for what I remember) they are somehow tied to Wire Shark, the Big Bad of season 3 than manages the Galactic Prison (Prison Planet).
>Hey Stargazers!! Here's an update on the SpaceCOPS Winsor/ Off-Duty and 0-1/ Version 2!

VEHICLE:SPACECRAFT

>what about a ship or vehicles? a cool toyetic 80s space hero needs a spaceship doesn't he?

COMET

In this thread the name of the cat elf men alien race was decided: Baastanians. Many thanks to Lore-anon, another based contributor.
>Anon 1: Being half Baastanian, would it mean Comet is unable to do magic?
>Anon 2: Comet is also half Human so, she could have a bit of both worlds, while also being a massive fuck-up.
>Comet: Rude!

WARMASTER

>Here's a design concept for Warmaster. People had pretty varying ideas for what he looked like in their heads so I tried to balance the different interpretations in this design. I remember it being mentioned he'd wear some kind of military uniform with bulky upper armour that has a mounted shoulder cannon. I also gave him a military knife sword as a side arm for when he needs to get up close and personal.

WARMASTER

>How about this new version? There is an empty space of less detail around the legs though.

CONSHOCK

>Damn, that's a solid Conshock right there. I like the Xavier eyebrows. He really looks like a wise mystic who could kick your ass...
>...assuming he doesn't job first.

CICADRE

While in later threads someone mentions "the young queen of the Hive", in the first threads "insect milf" was all the rage.

PULSAR
KULL THUUL
THE VORPALITH

>Anon: He's pretty Kull.

STARGAZE

>Anon: This is very good art though, his face is very handsome and the musculature is well drawn.

COMET

This drawing was in a thread made between the second and the official third thread.
>Here's a new Comet for all your Comet needs.

COMET

>I haven't been in one of these threads before but seeing how cute comet was convinced me to try drawing her last night. Also picked out some random colors that I think look good together

COMET

Alternative color schemes.
2 won.

UNNAMED CHARACTER

I don't have the foggiest Idea of who is this guy. But the artist left these words:
>Appears only in flashbacks, with design on the right. Purely a formative rival not the present main villain / deuterogonist /etc.
>Initially lives rent free in the macho hero's mind, without any direct references for the viewer to go on. Purely a source of comedy until fully fleshed out flashbacks.
>Does not appear anywhere else, except as left in the final battle.
>Arrogant honor obsessed warrior to monk, in both manners, remains true to himself but still opposed in personality to the hero
Maybe the concept lived on in other characters.

COMET
SIGIL

>I think I remember someone in a previous thread had a suggestion along the lines of an angry Sigil picking up Comet by her tail, so I decided that could be fun to draw.

SIGIL

>Here's an alternative Sigil design, made to be a bit simpler so it'd be more feasible to animate and make toys out of. I could see both versions existing in canon though, one is just a more detailed outfit that could exist in promotional material for example. Feel free to give your thoughts.

NEBULIOUS

Here's the Big Bad of the first season and ancient enemy of Stargaze. In his proto-design.
>Also here's my initial idea for a Nebulious design, at least his cloaked version.

UNNAMED ROBOT CHARACTER

>somebody asked for one-off villains?
>noodly telescopic arms would allow for a toy with soft-plastic arms that can bend every which way and in combat would allow him to entangle or extend to fight
>face plate has simple minifig-style facial expressions like you would expect from an 80s style monitor

COMET

>Here some Comet designs I was thinking of
>Hope its worth some amusement
>Seems like her design is pretty well cemented at this point

NEBULIOUS

>Here's a quick change, is this looking better?

NEBULIOUS

Anons wanted to see him without the mouth.

UNNAMED ROBOT CHARACTER

Refer to >>419627
>cool robot anon. I tried drawing him after using his boot thrusters and there's smoke coming out of them

COMET
SIGIL

>Random idea I had of a bad end/AU where Comet gets adopted by Sigil instead and made into his apprentice.
>Not an idea that should actually be canon and is just for fun. Unless we do want to do an AU/it's a wonderful life type episode where this kind of thing could happen.

>Anon:
>Leotard
>Exposed shoulders
>Anon: Truly such an evil influence on such an impressionable child

COMET

Wilykit modified.
>Anon:Comet is cute!
>Pic related artist: yes!

COMET

More Thundercats.

STARGAZE

Alternative design.
>With a big iron on his hip

STARGAZE
COMET
URSA-LA

Continuation of >>419615
>Updated sheet in progress for a bump.

ROCK-IT

Drawing by Shang-Xu's biggest fan, for a healty dose of sovl.

ROBOPUPPY

In color. He's a green dog.

COMET

Sad Comet is sad.

TRANCIA

>Anon: Waifu material.

COMET

Was it because of the hair color? The (Long)stockings? Anyway:
>panzer here. Took a crack at comet

COMET

>>419645
It gets better.

COMET

In a disguise made popular by a certain greentext.

COMET

>Comet is very flexible

COMET

>Felt like drawing my version of Comet in one of the outfits in the OP pic because they're cool
The OP pic was >>419628

URSA-LA

Still, her final design is yet to come.
>I've played around with her ear design making it a bit more like how the 90s reboot artist did it, so the ear placement is more in line with how we've done the other animal-people races like comet, sigil and trancia.

COMET

>>419652
>It's definitely surreal when someone makes r34 of a character you designed.

PUM-MEL

>I have done some development on my take for designing Pum-mel, based on stuff discussed here and my own thoughts. Here you can see her earth/rock elements as well as the crystal theme. Here are some of my thoughts on the design:
>So, I feel her species are in some weird grey area between organic and literally made of rock. They might have some squishy aspects to them or maybe they are rock solid, I am not sure. While a male character could look more weird and monstrous female 80's characters still tended to still look feminine, so she has a mostly human looking shape to her body and look to her face. This version is colourless but I imagine her skin would be a shiny crystal like colour and texture, with the clothing parts being more hard and rocky with crystals sticking out of it. Don't ask me how she gets changed out of it, maybe their species can move stone like we can fabric. The one on the right has more lines on her body to give the appearance of a gemstone, although I think I prefer the left as not only is it easier to draw, it would also be easier to animate. Maybe I could find a middle ground with the design. Like defined joints in the elbows.
>Her big fists are weapons for her, she is supposed to have sound/shockwave powers in addition to being good at punching things, so I assume the gauntlets would have sound abilities somehow. Maybe I can tweak their design when we work out how that would work as well as the toy. Regardless they are good for punching stuff anyway.
>Her hair is this sort of metal wire, mentioned by an anon here 134089529 so I incorporated that. I have been experimenting with other hair styles including other materials outside of metal wire so may post those if we want to try out a different hairstyle.
>I am not fully sold on the boots yet, I feel they could be polished up a bit, maybe more accurately mirroring the other one near the bottom so she looks less messy and is more consistent.

PUM-MEL

>Continuing, here is a look for her without the gauntlets on as I don't think she'd be walking around with big fists like that all the time, unless we want her to but I feel that'd get annoying for some scenes.
>Someone also mentioned her species being inspired by japan. While I didn't put too much of that into her outfit no kimonos or anything as that'd restrict her movement as an articulated toy and fighter, but I did give her a sort of asian appearance.

KROGDAR

I made a mental note to myself not to post AI art, but the original concept for Krogdar is just three pictures, not the usual flood of attempts, so I'll make an exception.

KROGDAR

KROGDAR

This design appears in a proper drawing later.

PUM-MEL

>Alright, I am back with some minor edits to the Pum-mel design. I'll list off some changes and you tell me which ones you like and dislike.

RESOURCES

Posting some good resources made by a based anon. Check the rest of the script on the wiki.
>Using this converted into a script that could be storyboarded, an example of what this project could become.

RESOURCES

>clean version

RESOURCES

>And the weathered, atmospheric version

URSA-LA
RESOURCES

>Changed the proportions. 1:6.5 head to body ratio and smaller torso-waist plus some other minor edits. WIP

PUM-MEL

>Tried my hand at making her action figure like

PUM-MEL

STARGAZE

I resized this thinking about storage and bandwidth. I hope the original author won't hold a grudge.

STARGAZE

Frome the same anon (I suppose) who did >>419663

COMET
KROGDAR

I think this picture needs context.
>For a "how did they get away with this in the 80's" trope, Comet could be what brings him into the fold in a "twas beauty tamed the beast" way. Entirely paternal, but something for everyone meme implications at. >Crack in the stoic, hard personality when he sees a "true innocent" catgirl for the first time and feels novelty after a life on an unforgiving desolate world. Her entreat led to him helping the team off the dead world, then she's the only one who can make an emotional/moral choice against pragmatism that he'll go along with knowing it won't work out. To the annoyance of the others when their more grounded ideas are ignored.

TRANCIA

>Decided to have a crack at actually drawing her in a full outfit, going with the idea its a sexy gothy outfit and not quite literally the same outfit as the heroforge model.
>I have also made two versions. The left one more resembles an actual dress while the one on the right is probably easier to articulate as an action figure.

ROBOPUPPY

>Gruff and edgy reboot of robopuppy

COMET

She loves animals.

COMET

But sometimes, animals are dangerous.

COMET

Though no more dangerous than a human-baastanian little princess.
>Don't worry about me, B-rō, I got this handled!

STARGAZE

>based my design on various different drawings that have been done for him so far, trying to keep it streamlined enough to not be too difficult to animate.
>Got him in his battle armour with the blaster on the left, it's in sword mode at the moment. And his more causal day to day outfit on the right.

UNNAMED GENERIC ASTRAYAN SOLDIER

>I used Star-ro's body as a template to quickly design this Astrayan soldier, uniform based both on Star-ro's and Warmaster's designs. This is a design for generic foot soldiers who may be guarding the royal family or fighting against Nebulious' minions. There would also be some of them who'd end up enemies if they chose to be loyal to Warmaster when he does his heel turn.

CHAREN

It begins.
>Is there already an angsty boy that lost his father from a war?

CHAREN'S FATHER

>He was a very bulky Astrayan solider. His wife died from an terminal illness before he was involved in the war. He was a very humble man with barely cash on him to make his dues.

CHAREN

COMET

by Charen-anon aka Ghost.

CHAREN

>Made his eyes darker to make the dead theming more obvious.

COMET
ROBOPUPPY

I'm posting the version with freckles, as Comet-anon forgot about them the first time.

COMET

CHAREN
MOMET
UNNAMED CHARACTERS

Some doodles by Ghost, aka Charen-anon. The first sketch of Momet, more Charen and probably ghosts made by Charen with his powers.

MOMET

A doodle of Comet's mom. The next one is more similar to her current design.

MOMET

>The face is a combination of He man women and 80s April O,Neil
>Hair is from BOTW Zelda.

CHAREN

>Taking more Skeletor cues for the controller of the undead.

NEBULIOUS

by Ghost. He had a different concept for him.
>Casual clothes
>Unfeeling, small lifeless eyes
>Soundwave signals for a mouth
>Weird hair? Crown?
>Aims for a uncanny valley kind of a look

COMET

A drawfriend posted this without saying anything.
A lone hero.

NEBULIOUS

by Ghost. Some doodles.

COMET

>I had to take a stab at shitscribbling my thoughts on how princess Comet would look if she were in an 80's series.I think realistically she'd probably have one-two ponytails but there's SO MANY cute girls with those in the existing cartoons she may as well not.

CHAREN

...and cute little shark ghost.

I'll try to help a bit.

CHAREN

>>I don't think 80s censors would let us get away with it so we would have to have Sigil extract the shard and then Stargaze manages to find a way to save the kid before he dies)
>I imagine it more being a chaotic battle between Stargaze, Sigil, and Charen. Sigil wants to complete the mirror and is totally sick of Stargaze. Stargaze doesn’t want the mirror to be in Sigil’s or Charen’s hands. Charen wants the mirror and break it to free his “unborn siblings”, believing that the completed mirror itself is much more inferior than a shard’s personhood. The mirror for example never had an ability that is full of personality and potential as Grudge Blaster. It was developed from the experiences Charen had with his parents and his desires.

CHAREN (?)

CHAREN

CHAREN'S SHARK FORM

>>419697
MOMET
Same picture, with whiskers.

CHAREN
>Interesting. So it [the Mirror] always had a mind of its own. I wonder if its negativity comes from an origins. Possibly from unfortunate souls or sacrifices.

>>419699
NEBULIOUS
>When he isn’t talking.

NEBULIOUS
>The techno-like aspects comes from his unique, lovecraftian race. He’s completely organic.

NEBULIOUS
>His “hair” is shaped like an oddly familiar helmet.

NEBULIOUS
>He’s a bio-mechanical villain made of pure energy. It’s oddly hilarious and fitting that he would have the most grounded kind of clothing style.

NEBULIOUS
>Simplifying this design with added guidelines.

NEBULIOUS
>Yeah. I really vibe with this kind of look to them. They are called VOIDborns. It would be lame if they didn’t turn out to be freaky cryptic nightmare energy beings.
