Hi Im Trying To Keep It Professional Here But May I Request You To Talk About Your Thought Process/design

hi im trying to keep it professional here but may i request you to talk about your thought process/design inspirations behind your Tango? I don't think I've ever loved a Tango more than i love yours

i'm so glad you like him so much!!! he's definitely one of my favourites to draw :D

most of my mcyt designs follow a similar pipeline, where i create a first design that is simple; based on the skin, my impression, and common fanon ideas. then later down the line i throw all of that out the window and shoot them with my patented Creature Gun.

so originally, tango was just A Guy. (see this post for an idea of how he looked) until i woke up one day and decided that he needed to become an absolute fucking critter.

i went into my very first draft of a new design with a few basic ideas that i wanted to follow:

Generally small, but have his clothing/accessories be big

Have the red glasses be a major design element

Be some form of lil critter with a tail, paws, and big ears

Be as shape as possible (this was the most important aspect to me)

Here was my very first pass with those concepts in mind:

More under the cut:

the first thing i realised was that i accidentally inverted the red and black on his outfit, the second thing was that he had come out looking somewhat rodent-like, so i decided to build upon that idea in my second draft, as well as further exaggerating his glasses and proportions:

i liked this much better, but decided he still wasn't shape enough, so after even more stylization, i eventually got to a point where i was happy, and we ended up with the critter of all time!

along the way, i also ended up with a rough idea for what he even was, that being a hybrid of my own made up rodent-adjacent mob that would live in the nether. which i ended up sharing an idea for in this post, thought i'll probably expand further upon the idea in the future.

overall i am insanely happy with how his design turned out, and i'm overjoyed that other people feel the same!

please never hesitate to ask me about my designs/my design process! i have so many thoughts that i'd love to share and a lot of the more fully fleshed out designs have a good amount of concept art that likely won't be seen outside of these sorts of asks.

"Server etiquette" with Skizz and Tango was hilarious

With how the fandom usually casts hybrid headcanons, half the server is gonna be fishified.

We have Pearl saying she's a fish after running around with a Salmon head on, Grian's just fishing the whole time and looks like a Cod, we have the whole thing with big Salmon for Beef and Skizz, which they also threatened Doc with, there's Gem with her water theme, X with the return of the Pufferfish Prankster in his episode, the whole fishing cult in general, which ended up with Pearl, Cleo, Skizz, Grian and Etho being fished into the air, and there's probably even more stuff that I'm missing.

Oh yeah, and we sadly can't forget about the wet fish slapping noises everyone seemed to be obsessed with at the start. Cub literally tried to console Scar with that after blowing up all of his stuff

Season Ten is the Season of the Fish

Since Scar ended his last Secret Life episode without dying, while all the other winners died at the end of their episodes, I have two headcanons as to what could have happened to him.

Either he was stuck on the server, all alone, getting the 'Win Secret Life' Task over and over again, gaining more hearts each time he hit success. Until he got so lonely and frustrated that instead of saying he succeeded, he hits the fail button until he finally dies.

Or he became the secret keeper, stuck in an endless loop of giving his past self villain tasks and watching him win over and over again, always merging into one with his winner self and repeating everything again
