!!IMPORTANT!! to keep it fair publically, i wont be commenting on entries until AFTER i announce the winners :]]

lil story how i came up with Duppy! i went to an antique store awhile back and bought the Beetles white album (which had the song Rocky Raccoon on it), while driving home there was a dead raccoon on the side of the road, which was also the first time i've seen a raccoon in person. i was struggling with the design for the DTIYS, so i thought it would be perfect to honor and respect the lil fella in memory with this :] i almost named her rocky, but i thought it'd be boring and bland-ish lol

if you have any questions about drawing them or anything just ask! :DDD

omg these fellas are so cool, i might join... altho im a teensy bit confused abt the deadline, it says april 26th even tho april is Long Past?? :'D /lh /nm
.....unless u mean april 2025 :smiling_imp: /j

also i suppose i have character questions, what r monty and duppy's relationship to each other? :] r they like, buddies who work together or is duppy haunting monty n being mischievous or smth lol

@Elininjakat IM SO SORRY DONT MIND ME IM SLEEP DEPRIVED LMAOO i changed it now :sob: but yes i had decided that they're buddies, helping eachother out sort ghost business ;D and dont worry about joining or not! i encourage people to take their time with things like this :]]

Hehehe budy. You better run. MWEH HEHEHEH HEHRHR

I'm DEFINETIVELY JOINING >:)

@alrightymoose could you please give me some info about them? I love to get into character's story before drawing them, so I can create a better environment for the drawing.

Btw, those fellas are pretty cool and neat!!! <3 I like Monty's style :o

@alrightymoose what kind of "gadgets" or tools do they use in order to interact with ghosts? Are they like the ghostbusters? Lmao i love them<3<3

@sharp_eyed_detective OHHH YAYY IM SO EXCITEDDD EE!! :heart: Monty is quite awkward, yet very analytical and fine witted. He found his gift of being able to communicate with the dead quite annoying, and tried to ignore it best as possible. Struck with an opportunity, a promise, comes along from Duppy! A rag-tag snarky undead nuisance, who is willing to take Monty's gift away, as long as he agrees to her conditions to find out how she died!

The ties of their camaraderie will be cut once the murder is solved!! Though Monty is skeptical in Duppys promises.. >;0 its a simple plot, but when i figure the juicy writing in between it'll be a fun ride!! ;DDD

IM SO INVESTED IN THEIR STORY NOW :heart_eyes: :sob: I love both of their designs too smmm !! I'll do my best to def participate !!:DD
I love raccoons smm one night I couldn't sleep so I went out and saw a racoon for the first time close up in person behind my back porch. I didn't even knew there were raccoons that lived there *0* I ended up giving him my biscuit that I had as a late snack and he ate it in front of me IT WAS SO CUTEEE T0T And then, he went back in the woods :sob: :heartpulse:

@BHPineapple AGHH THANK YOUUU :sparkling_heart: and no rush pineapple!! AW WHATTT luckyyyy :sob: quite a difference in first experiences with raccoons between us :skull: im happy that i (hopefully) didnt let the lil guy pass for nothing :]] they'll be remembered in my heart :DD

so good! ok
