Concept: Jolly Giraffe
🕑 Added 2022-05-01 04:07:27 +0000 UTCAfter listening to The Stupendium's latest song "Toybox", I was hit with a sudden rush of inspiration and came up with this new horror character- meet Jolly Giraffe!
The lovable mascot of Jolly's toy store, Jolly here loves to play in every which way! But every now and then, grownups will stumble into Jolly's Junction, the happy home of Jolly and his pals! In Jolly's Junction, there's no homework or chores or bedtimes, just kids and toys... oh, you're not a kid? Well then you must be a toy, just like Jolly! At least, that's what's Jolly thinks. unfortunately for the adults who end up playing with Jolly, he doesn't seem to grasp that human beings are not at all like toys, in that their joints can only bend so far, or that they don't bounce when dropped from thirty feet in the air, or they need to eat actual food instead of plastic or Play-Doh, or that you can't fix a severed limb with a glue stick and a sewing machine, or that they need to breathe... but even when his new toy friends end up breaking and don't want to play anymore, there will always be new friends to play with eventually! And Jolly will be there to greet them with a big smile and open hooves.
How people end up in Jolly's Junction is unclear- sometimes its as simple as making the wrong turn from a certain aisle in the store, or an employee will lock the place up for tonight only to find the exit leads somewhere totally different, or someone stumbles and falls into the ball pit but doesn't come back up... whatever the case, the number of disappearances around Jolly's toy store locations has been noted by local authorities, but investigations turn up nothing... though employees of Jolly's toy store have noted that every now and then in the storeroom, they momentarily catch a whiff of what smells like rotten flesh.

I agree with this notion

Even like a zine type thing. I know Iβd throw money at ya! π

Hmm, that wouldn't be a bad idea! Though I dunno if I've made enough horror characters to fill a decent sized book. aside from Jolly and Sweet Tooth most of the monsters I've made were one-offs, unless I'm forgetting some... I'll have to look back in my archives.

Well, while I've never played the game, The Stupendium's song based on Poppy's Playtime was the initial inspiration! Though to be honest, one of the things that has always bugged me about Poppy's Playtime and FNAF and all the other similar games is that the "cute and innocent" monsters look too deliberately creepy, when the whole reason animatronics and dolls look creepy is that they weren't meant to be but just look a little off. My aim with Jolly here was to make something that could conceivably be an actual mascot that would be appealing to children.

If you ever made a small book of all your horror characters I would snatch that up like candy.

Looks like the setup for an indie horror game in the vein of Poppy's Playtime.
