I love UTDM 😭😭❤️❤️ Lottie is so cute!!

Yay Little Lottie fan design!

Character belongs to @libras-interactives and thoughts behind design below

I was reading a vintage dancer article on children's clothes in the 1920s and saw this:

I thought it was so cute and silly that I wanted to draw a Little Lottie with it. But then I had to come up with a design for her. I followed the description in the text mostly, but I got snagged on the hair. It's described that she has a mark up to her forehead which implies you could see most of her face. but i thought having her hair somewhat covering her eyes would convey her personality better. So I compromised and did both at the same time. Maybe Lottie fixes it up for her, but she does that thing that kids do when they don't want their parents fussing with their hair and takes it down when Lottie isn't looking.

The handbag also reminded me of something I used to do when I was you and undiagnosed. I had a triangular metal lunch box I used to carry stuff around in because I liked having the things I needed near me when leaving my room. So I'm assigning little Lottie that trait.

The book she's looking at is The Velveteen Rabbit.

Currently working on a little something for the next ask and there’s some familiar characters :>

Hopefully I’ll be done before classes start up again for me

Decided to give Marlowe a bit of an outfit redesign!! I’m very happy with how she looks now :D (I also tried to draw her in Lackadaisy’s style <3)

WhOAOA OC REF??!

FINALLY got around to finishing this- I began somewhere in december and this took way longer than it shouldveBUT HERE HE!! !

this also be my first ref sheet :0

Oh my God, I love these moments with Carroll and Freckle, they are so sweet 🥹🥹🥹

Oooh scary I know I joke about Carroll's eye a bit like it being a hole of untold horrors but this is what it looks like

Hi Tracy! I am writing with the help of a translator, so I apologize for unclear words. How do you feel about the fact that some people ship their oc's with your lackadaisy characters?

I'm fine with it. In general, it's good to see people being creative, and if Lackadaisy provides another artist or writer something to bounce off of - to invent and flesh out characters and stories through - well, I'm honored. ...as long as no one's bullying anyone or starting turf wars over it. Leave the turf wars to the imaginary gangster cats.

Some insight into the designs and fashion of the 20s would be so cool, especially since it's kinda hard these days to sift through just costume listing :'0

Yeah, sadly, the usefulness of a Google search is greatly diminished these days. You can still find articles written by actual human beings and genuine historical garments, but you have to wade through a lot of junky costumes and AI bullshit to get there. I can't possibly fully explain 1920s fashion here, though. It's a broad enough topic to write a sizable book about...which is why people have written many books about it. Check out some books. There are things you can get pretty cheap from resellers, everything from academic screeds about the politics behind the fashion trends of the time, to clothing catalogue compilations from the 20s, to giant coffee table books full of glorious photos.

Here's a PDF version of one of those clothing catalog collections. There's an entire preface about 1920s fashion in general too.

There are some pretty well made blogs about the topic out there as well. Vintage Dancer is one of them. The front of the site is unfortunately kind of cluttered with ads for costume apparel and modern clothing inspired by the 20s, but scroll past that to the historical bits and you'll find pertinent things.

There are some great fashion YouTubers too, like Karolina Zebrowska. Although she's not focused heavily on 1920s fashion, she talks a lot about early 20th century fashion in general. She also talks a lot about the historical context of those fashions.

Also, try online museum displays. The Met Museum has a searchable collection, for instance. Look up 1920s fashion, 1920s dresses, 1920s suits, etc.

Cameras were popular and accessible in the 1920s. Look at pictures of what people actually wore. You can find these images in free government photo archives, or licensing libraries like Getty Images (you don't have to license anything to look at it). And there's always Shorpy. Poor old, underappreciated Shorpy. Their archive is searchable.

I love your art style!! It reminds me of pages from illustrated books 🤩

🌊 Marlowe at the Beach 🌊 Wooooo I’m finally done drawing my Lackadaisy oc, Marlowe!! I’m super proud of this! <3

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

Where's the rest of Marianne's family? What is her relationship with her brother (both when Marianne was young and now, when they're adults)?

Hi, thank you for the question! Sorry it took me awhile to answer life and procrastination got in the way 😅 but here we go:

So the relationship with her brother, Sebastian, has always been strong even as kids. Despite an 8 year age gap, Sebastian adored his little sister taking care of her (practically raising her) since their parents were always too busy with their own business deals.

They left their grandmother back in Còrdoba and the family had moved to Florida making their own arrangements in selling illegal wine.

While young Maríanne was in her own world, Sebastian was always suspicious of the men that would come around their house and chat with his parents. The young boy always had a feeling that things wouldn’t end well.

To this day, he hated how right he was…

As adults they went their separate ways. They still write letters to each other on occasion to see if the other is still alive and the update in each other of their daily lives.

However, the letters tend to get lost (sometimes) since running under an alias can confuse the mailman.

(Thank you again for asking this question I will get to your next one 🤧)

This is such a cool concept, basing each character death from the Lacrimosa is really neat. I’d like to see this be made into a game :0

school is tiring, i am sleep deprived anyway i had a strange yet another lackadaisy au/ a dream that imma ramble about based on a horror game called wick (not sedgewick the horror game called wick)

Okay, okay, imma go out with it: Mordecai Heller is the protagonist | The horror game Wick is you playing as the survivor that withhold a candlelight while they're friends ditched them in a haunted forest. Long story short, the game is about 5 (or 6?) Kids whose ghost stories about them come to life and those five kids best the survivor's ass basically)|

Anyway, Lackadaisy speakeasy had actually withered away years ago and since Atlas died all those years ago, his soul is actually connected with the speakeasy. For most people, it was a minor inconvenience, but for Mitzi, it was a tragedy. She killed herself the day the speakeasy was burnt down. However, there had been rumors that the speakeasy itself is seen completely undamaged and yet, it was confirmed not proven. It is only at nights where they would hear Mitzi crying, but she is obviously a ghost. Not only that, those tied to the fallen speakeasy will be dragged down with them. Slowly.

The Savoys want to prove that it's real by forcing Mordecai against his will to go search for the so-called fallen speakeasy. Mordecai, the protagonist, was just left stranded and all he was given was a candlelight, matches and a pocket knife. With that, he had no choice but to make it until 6 AM.

Short story to the first person to fade was Calvin, Calvin was possessed one day and was led into the speakeasy. That was the last time anyone ever seen him, he never came home that day and his mother was devastated. Nextly, it was Rocky, he was demanded to find Calvin, once he did, he ended up finding out that his cousin's dead. He was skinned to the bone and his body strapped in chains. However, Calvin's body was reanimated and he strapped Rocky down and threw him in the deep water and the chains were heavy on Rocky's body until he had drowned to death. Their bodies were never found.

Next was Ivy. She never went to the speakeasy, however, she seems to have dreams that were slowly becoming real each weekly night. The more real the dreams became, the more detached she becomes from herself. She died mysteriously that night as she never woke up from her dream. Her father was in distraught as he sees his daughter never waking up. Her soul is trapped within the speakeasy like Calvin and Rocky.

Zib was slowly fading day by day as if he was a ghost. His voice disappears slowly. And one day, he just woke up in the speakeasy and his soul stuck there forever. Rumors say that when he sings. It means he's awake and aware of anyone's presence.

Wick got buried alive and suffocated and there's that damn duck who pretty much is his small pet that he rather runs away from.

Viktor was rotting and falling apart from the inside and outside. He was slowly becoming a monster so he hid himself in despair of how he became. He hates noise and will hunt anyone down who makes noise and kill them. He also can pick up any scent that leads him to the target.

Mordecai was slowly getting memories back the longer he scouted in the speakeasy. Night by night, he slowly becomes hazy and yet eager to know why he couldn't remember anything. Even if it meant dealing with each individual ghost/statue/reanimated corpses. Viktor and Ivy, especially Viktor, were the only few who actually unlocked his memories. Until he met Mitzi, he was disturbed by how Mitzi practically cried her eyes out (literally) she was half faded and half real. Night by night they slowly become worse for Mordecai, but he still kept going, until one night, he decided to go out by himself as he had restless nights. Mordecai faced his last night actually finding the speakeasy itself. The myth is real.

Mordecai found Atlas' painting. Meaning all those hallucinations and surreal dreams was Atlas trying to connect with him. Therefore, Mordecai had let him with no other choice as he just wanted to see him again. However, he was chased out by Mitzi and everyone else now that they were all awakened from their slumber.

Mordecai had no choice but to run out despite the countless warnings that he'll never escape no matter how hard he tries. The moment Mordecai wasn't able to sleep anymore, it was already too late. Yet, the moment he had escaped once and for all, it was what he thought.

Mordecai died from lack of sleep due to neverending memories. His body became like ropes that fell apart and he just walked back to the speakeasy and faded away to join everyone else.

Nobody ever saw him again. Not even the Savoys. As the story was only for the Lackadaisy crew to carry until their corporeal forms finally fade along with the speakeasy. The myth was never solved. But it can never make up for those people that went missing and never came back.

Aww she’s so jealous 🤭🤭

The Concussion

The Day He Lost Everything.

Inspired by this palette from @fivepointpalettes

GOD YOUR OC IS JUST BEAUTIFUL I JUST GHJKHGCGFHFJJG HHHHHHHHH what's her favorite food?? (sorry this question is so basic, will come back for her hand in marriage /lh asking more questions!! much love <3)

THANK YOU!!! ❤️🥹 I love your OCs too! The Rose Brigade?? That is such a badass name for a gang and each of your OCs have such a unique flair to them and they’re BEAUTIFUL!!!

And to answer your question (I don’t care that it’s basic, I love to answer them nonetheless! 🥹)

Maríanne favorite food would be Plátanos Fritos (fried plantains).

She used to eat a lot of it as a child, and still thinks about them on occasion.

If you give her a plate of these she will get all giddy and refuse to share it with anybody. (She may also be willing to accept the proposal too, although she would be very confused lmao)

Hope that answer the question, sorry for not including any art in this one! (Kinda want to do that for stuff more lore-related things :D) Thank you for asking though!!

Hey everyone!! If you have any questions about my lackadaisy OC, I’d be happy to answer them and make some art to go along with it!

Currently I’m working on answering some questions :D

So ask away and I’ll answer it to the best of my ability!!

*crawls out of hole* Happy Late New Year, everyone!

Here’s Maríanne’s character card! It took me a bit to get it together but here she is again :D

I hope it gives a bit more detail about her! ❤️

Alt account: @ehhhh-119 (Very creative I know)

Welp this wasn’t a surprise. Here’s my Lackadaisy OC, her name is Maríanne Villanueva!

She’s was born in Cordoba, Mexico! I’ve been wanting to put her out there for a while! :>

I will put out her character bio/poster as soon as I can. The earring will be explained eventually, but it is important to her lore!

But I decided to put out her character sheet first, I hope you like her!

Thank you, thank you, thank you forever.

We will be working so hard to deliver you a cartoon series worthy of your faith and support.

AHHHH

IT REACHED 2 MILLION!!!

A Lackadaisy Victory!! (A LackaVictory!) :)

In less than an hour, Lackadaisy exceeded it's 125K goal on Backerkit on the first day. In that same first day, we've already funded 500K, half of that last Million Dollar goal. In five days, we reached 900K. Last night while I was sleeping, we managed to fund the full ONE MILLION!!! And, along with all of these Backerkit goals being reached, the Lackadaisy Pilot on YouTube reached 10 MILLION views!

Think about that! Over one Million Dollars, in just 8 days! Half of a million on the first day. That's extraordinary! Thank you to everyone who has been working on Lackadaisy. Tracy, Newt, Fable. All of the voice actors. Every single sound designer. Every clean up artist. Every storyboard artist. The violinist who played Rocky's violin parts! Every musician. Everybody else who had a contribution to the series in some way, thank you!

Thank you to the fans who were able to back the project. Thank you to those who may not be able to back the project, your support still matters!

The Lackadaisy community is so supportive, welcoming and kind.

The Lackadaisy community is by far one of the best communities and fandoms I've been a part of. Everyone is so kind, nice, and welcoming to everyone. Whether you've been here since the comics, or since the pilot came out (I'm this one!), or anywhere in between, we've all come together for the silly booze cats and a great time. Seeing all the Lackadaisy fanart, LackaOcs, fanfiction, all of it, makes me so happy! It's nice to see such a big and heartwarming community. There's a place for everyone, and everyone is so kind to each other. Seeing every theory and discussion makes me giddy with joy, because who knows what could happen next?

Every person who loves a certain character to a certain degree of insanity normality (Don't worry, I'm guilty of this too!), and finds comfort in them, it's so nice to see people finding comfort in something as great as Lackadaisy. Whether you love the poetic Rocky, the stoic Mordecai, the baby boy baby Freckle, the ecstatic flapper Ivy, the dynamic duo Savoys, or anyone else, I love being able to see how these characters make everyone feel good.

And that's just how great the community is. I haven't talked about Lackadaisy itself!

When I read the Lackadaisy comics, or (re)watch the pilot, it's clear that a lot of love has been put into making Lackadaisy what it is. Each character feels so real, their personalities are so in depth, you feel as if you can find someone with their same personality in the real world. I knew a guy who was almost exactly like Mordecai! And the character's backstories make you/me want to cry and give them a little hug. Everything is so in-depth, and well thought out about.

The time and research Tracy must have done to also make Lackadaisy historically accurate is amazing. I love reading the comic on the website (Lackadaisy.com) and seeing the little notes at the bottom of every part in the little box thing that may explain some 1920s slang, or something that people may not get right away. I've personally learned quite a bit about this time period thanks to Lackadaisy, and I have even done some extra research myself.

And the art. Oh, the art and graphics! Lackadaisy's art style, both in the comics and the pilot, have inspired me a lot in my own art. Studying the style and drawings of silly little booze cats have helped me improve quite a bit.

The story is so intuitive, and in the comics, I love how we can see a bit about each character, whether it be through flash backs or retellings (Like when the Savoys tell Mordecai about them). When you reach a comic chapter that doesn't include a certain character, you wonder "What's going on with them right now?". Lackadaisy's story is easily something that makes you want more.

Usually, when I get into a fandom, I tend to stay for maybe a month or less, then drift off. I don't know why, perhaps I just don't connect with it. But, Lackadaisy is one of the few that I really connect with. The community is one of the reasons I connect with this fandom. I've made so many friends and mutuals through Lackadaisy. It's also nice to see how Tracy and so many people who worked on Lackadaisy look through the Lackadaisy tag and like people's posts, it means a lot to fans like me!

I've had a fixation on the 1900s-1960's for quite some time, maybe since 4th/5th grade. I've seen a few fandoms that wrap arounf anywhere in that time period, but Lackadaisy is the first to go all in with this period. That's another reason I stay.

And overall, I love the booze cats! I love them all!! Especially Mordecai!! Mordy my beloved!

So, thank you to everyone ever! I can't wait to see something great! I'm really happy to see that Lackadaisy has a bright future!! :) <3
