Project S.L.E.E.P. and H.O.M.E.
Project S.L.E.E.P.: "A beast modeled after a line of cosmic stars that keep getting destroyed to prevent annihilation, Project S.L.E.E.P. is designed to put any victim to sleep with its wish-granting powers. It is fueled by the DNA samples of all the Noddies Bianca has secretly tested on, but it is very limited and prone to shutting down frequently whenever she tries to turn it on. It took her 12 years and several stolen objects and blueprints in order to finally finish her biggest project, and it is now ready to sentence all on Popstar to an eternal slumber."
H.O.M.E.: "The Heart of Mass Extermination, better known simply as H.O.M.E., was created as the core of Project S.L.E.E.P., built to trap and ambush any victim who stepped too deep into the clockwork star. Bianca considers to this to be a nearly spot-on recreation of Galactic Nova's heart-shaped nucleus, but with her own modifications to make it appear more advanced. If its armor were to be damaged, it would enter a self-prepared overdrive mode, shedding its immense strength for lightning fast speed and fierce laser combos."
Galactic Ambition Icons!
Today marks the one-year anniversary of my biggest story yet, Galactic Ambition! I didn't think we could make it, but here we are.
To celebrate, from now till the end of March, I'll be posting new anniversary art every Saturday and Sunday like we're back in 2024 all over again. This will include new anniversary art, a poster, and even brand new art of some characters I never got to showcase in the story. To begin this, we got a new series of icons for use! These include:
Harpy
Mentally-traumatized child
Cat lady
Five-eyed paint monster
Sheep
And demon!
While it's clearly an odd mixture of good, evil, and neutral, it does collaborate all the new and old faces we met in the story. As a plus note, I wanted to add more characters like Bianca's true and Soul forms and Project S.L.E.E.P., but I just didn't have room because of Marx Soul. I'm sure that I can get them in some other drawings later this month.

Now that it's over two months since the conclusion of Galactic Ambition, I think it's finally time to unveil all of my character designs and post-arc details to celebrate an occasion like this.
Firstly, Marx and Gryll have some pretty bad scars from their encounters with Bianca - physical and mental. Also, Bianca Soul kinda tore up Gryll's bow a bit. It's fine, it's just hanging off to the side. Marx's bowtie, meanwhile, is a-ok. (12/14 update: As an added, Marx's blood is teal. You can see this briefly when he splits in half in games like Star Allies. Small detail, but it helps him stand out a bit.) But, of course, that's not what we're here to talk about.
Marx Blob:
"When Wishbreaker was destroyed, a creature born from the remains of Marx's inner demon emerged as Marx regained control. Left without powers, Marx Blob desperately seeks his host to regain life and annihilate the galaxy. His flesh melts second after second, using nothing but raw strength and his melting, slimy tongue to escape doom."
If Marx is Elfilin and Marx Soul's final form is Fecto Elfilis, then Marx Blob is Fecto Forgo. Only Marx Blob is twice as weak, and this form of Marx Soul has little to no powers to speak of. A lot of Marx Soul's powers stem from Wishbreaker, and he even possessed Marx's body in order for Marx Soul to exist; when the necklace was destroyed by Magolor's Ultra Sword, not only was his physical body warped and compressed into a helpless zombie-like blob, but all of his powers were taken along with them, going into Marx. Rumor has it that small bits of his flesh left behind by the explosion of Biancaland continue to linger around the park's original resting spot, aimlessly wandering around, slowly seeking a new host.
Nelly the Noddy:
"Introducing, the newest mascot of Biancaland: Nelly! She's a very friendly Noddy who'll listen to anything and everything you say. She'll guide you around and try to keep things in order when something goes bad. Trust me, when she's around, you'll never want to leave Biancaland EVER again!"
As you can pretty much see, Nelly is... pretty disturbing looking. She smiles too much. Almost all the time, even. And as it turns out, that was very intentional; Bianca created her to be "the face of fun". And by fun, we mean "facing fear with a smile on your face". She carved that creepy smile onto her face for a reason: she wanted her to smile forever. Smile and nod to everything she says, just so she knows who's boss around this part of the galaxy. And being the sweet, obedient girl she is, she is oddly more than willing to follow her demands. Nelly's motto? FEAR BIANCA. ALL HAIL THE NODDY QUEEN. "Be here in a snap with a snack and a nap!"

Finally, here it is! Galactic Nora!
Now, as you may have noticed, her design here is a bit different than what was described a few months ago. I did want to make her look like an angelic being of light, and while that concept was sorta fufilled in her final design, I sorta wanted to go in another direction.
Being a cat-like machine, I wanted to give Nora some cat-like features such as the tail, nose, and "whiskers". I also added some other details such as a striped sash, a crack in her glasses (to reflect part of Nova's head being damaged near the end of Milky Way Wishes), and even adding her heart/Nucleus to her chest for some added effect.
About her personality: she's Marx's conscience and thus governs the actions he should avoid doing, especially now that Marx Soul is officially gone. She's sort of a mother to Marx - even more so when you remember his old mom has gone with the wind. She likes teaching morals to Marx, eating cat food, and granting wishes at the flick of her finger.
I actually kind of like her final design, I think it works pretty well!
Kirbtober Day 11 - OC
Introducing one of my two OCs revealed during Galactic Ambition: Snoozie!
Snoozie is Bianca's loyal servant and supposed only friend. She's an incredibly shy little 7-year-old girl who mostly follows Bianca's orders, but gets really skeptical and worried when her plans prove to be quite outlandish. Being a fellow Noddy, Snoozie looks up to Marx and likes to call him her "the big brother she never had", but Bianca won't allow that, so she's not letting him see her for the fear that she'll leave her.
Unlike Marx, Snoozie doesn't really have a special ability to call her own, so Bianca decided to solve that problem by creating her mechanical hands that can transform into wheels so she can move around faster. She may or may not have accidentally injected her with some oil from a Wheelie, granting her super speed. While she's in on her plan to make her own Nova, she's still a bit worried about what it'll do. But for right now, she needs a nap. Especially after everything she's gone through.
