I updated the reference for my Toxicsona a bit!
Mainly just added the default gradients to the color list, gave the mid and blob forms their gradients, and added a nice background that isn't too distracting or eye bleeding.

Which would be insane to think about, since he is probably around 9 or 8 years old now considering when I first ever drew him when I was around 9 or 10...
Crazy he is that old now, and that only recently he could be considered "finished" design wise...

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

But I could still very well make a big enough change to his design to warrant a proper update. Though, with how stagnant changes to his design have been and with the more recent updates being purely refinements instead of proper updates, when I post the new ref, he could probably be considered done.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

But due to the current state of LostLab I wouldn't consider her design "finalized" like how Brushie, Toxitoon, and Bits' designs are.

MB could probably be considered finalized with the new ref I'm working on since it's not got any major changes from the last design and is more-so a refinement.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

It's not a case like Toxitoon, Brushie, or Bits, where the design hasn't seen change in at least 6 months to a year, her design has technically seen changes as recently as 3ish months ago, but I'd debate on if it's true changes or variable design like Brushie's eyebrows.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

I guess there is one other design that might be considered finished? Red hasn't seen any major changes in a while, but I wouldn't call her design "finished" because LostLab is still very much in a state where it could have major changes made which would lead to her design majorly changing.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

Brushie could also be considered finished I guess.
I haven't truly updated her main design in like, 6 months, but do still flip flop on if she should have bigger eyebrows or just simple lines like MB. That also could just be made a option tho, where she can have either depending on what's needed.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

It's not even a case of "design got updated so ref needs updating," the design didn't change for shit, I just fucked up the original drawing and never bothered correcting it for whatever reason.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

Yknow what actually no, Bits might be the FIRST design I truly "finished," since his design was only ever really changed ONCE since he was made.
I mean, he is so simple it's hard to update him, but still.
The only thing is his current ref needs an update because I fucked up drawing him on it.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

Speaking of that I really need to fuckin' finish his new ref
It's like 75% or more complete and just need extra text added and a few smaller pieces of art...

I'm also removing Brushie from his main ref and giving her her own ref sheet, tho it will be a bit smaller than MB's.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

I find it funny Toxitoon may be the first real design I can consider "finished" now despite it also being one of the youngest ones. As in, with how long the character has existed, I mean.

MB is the oldest design I have and he isn't finished yet, still gets very small updates here and there.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

I didsketch out and get decently far in the process of designing that, with it just needing to be finalized, but stopped because of the main designs redesign being a roadblock. Though the Hero and Scrapper designs I made would still work with the current "final" Toxitoon design, too.

M.B. Productions (in my Runaway Brain era) @mbproductions.bsky.social · 1d

I do have some concept art I might repost here of the process for me trying to design them, but not rn since I'm going to bed.

I may still go forward with one idea I had, which was to bring back the "Hero (Paint)" and "Scrapper (Thinner)" versions of Toxitoon from their very first designs.

Yknow, I really wanted to redesign them for a bit like a few days / weeks ago, but when I tried I couldn't make any significant enough good changes to warrent the redesign being made...

Toxitoon may be the first design I can consider "finished" despite the "final" design being a year old now

Guys I'm in my Runaway Brain Era...

Should I make a Runaway Brain version / AU of (my) ToonTown where MB and Oilrig swap brains? (With Proto-Oilrig's characterization since that's closer to Julius from the short)

as beautiful as the day i lost you.

You look through the mirror... and see... yourself?
But a more primitive version of yourself. Not nearly as refined or finished, but still you.
You feel... nostalgic, for this appearance. You know it's objectively worse and older, but you can see how you became what you are now.
