Description Ayyyyyy. Look! It's-a old character redesign time-a.

*immediately shot and beaten with sticks*

-------------

But, yeah. Old characters needed some tlc after sitting in the dust in their crappy old outfits and junk 5ever. I'm really bad with that, unfortunately. ... neglecting characters for the longest time because I have supposedly more interesting ones to play with.

*cough Like Zero cough cough* ...

So, none of you guys have ever seen Grimble before. And that's because she's been one of those characters that I had but was never skilled enough/happy enough with the doodled results of her hideous visage to actually not burn the evidence immediately afterword because I felt like I had committed a sin against mankind. Took long enough for me to get her down just appearance-wise, sheesh.

First off, no, Grimble is not Tallest material even though she's got the stature and build for it. If she stood straight up, she'd still be a few inches too short to make it as of right now with Red and Purple in charge. That is if she even could stand up straight. That's what years and years of bad posture does to your back, kids. Don't slouch or else you'll look like Grimble when you're 20. (Just kidding. What even is posture for Irkens? She's just too short.)

Though, some of you might know of Antimony's existence from the absolutely HORRIBLE drawing I did a few years ago of her that is gone now because it made my eyes bleed with how bad it was, lol. She's much better now and less plagued by the horror that is dodge and burn.

Lemme slap down some scant bios for y'all to sorta get acquainted, then.

--------------

Name: Grimble (Grim-bull)

Age: Unknown; probably in her late thirties, early forties Irk years (anywhere from 370-430 Earth years)

Gender: Female

Height: 6' 5" (hunched over; 7' 6" not hunched over *if onlyyyyyy*)

Weight: 170-180lbs

Eye color: Ruby

Loyalty: Empire Loyalist

Occupation Title: Special Operations General (aka the "Death Warden" because her original title wasn't scary enough)

Personality/Summary: Extremely loyal to the Tallests and their cause, she takes great pride in planting sleeper agents in suspected resistance locales to infiltrate them and bring them down before they can cause any serious harm to the Irken Empire. Her tone of voice is often dangerously silky and very rarely shows any other emotion besides cold, and calculating calmness. She's quite adept at psychological warfare and sleight of hand, gaining the advantage and holding it for as long as it takes to complete a mission without having to engage in physical combat as she'd rather not get blood on her uniform. Also putting the fifty or so underlings she controls into action also makes it very easy for her to circumvent any events that would otherwise be annoying and stressful to her. She can and will, however, beat people into submission, herself, if they just won't back down and insist on making themselves a direct threat.

She has a symbiotic partnership with Antimony, often roaming around together on different missions. Grimble is able to continue securing high-profile locations and Antimony is able to indulge in the bloodshed that often follows with it.

----------------

Name: Antimony (Anti-mon-ee)

Age: 20 Irk years (about 200 Earth years by comparison)

Gender: Female

Height: About 6' 2" with her chassis (5' 8" if she had regular legs)

Weight: 100 lbs with her chassis (80 lbs without it)

Eye color: Violet

Loyalty: Empire Loyalist

Occupation Title: Overseer no. 667 (aka the "Black Widow" because spiders)

Defect: Born without legs due to issues that arose when she was still developing as a smeet, she was initially bound for the incinerator but was picked up by a scientist who saw her as a way to make a name for himself with his Tallests. He fitted her with a synthetic chassis that functioned on a wavelength identical to her PAK and the rest is history. She was saved and the scientist made Irkens with physical defects like missing limbs still viable for the growing Empire forces.

Personality/Summary: Viciously loyal almost to the point of no return, she has all her faith put into the Tallests, feeling like they can do no wrong and that Operation Impending Doom II is one of the best things they could have ever put into motion. Insult her leaders, and your head is instantly laying on the floor. Attack her, and you'll quickly be disemboweled and dismembered if you're not fast or strong enough to block or dodge her razor-sharp legs.

On a normal day-to-day basis, she's usually quiet but will not hesitate to raise her voice if she doesn't feel that she's being understood. She has a relatively short fuse and does not hold back when it comes to disciplining out-of-line Irkens and prisoners, though she usually gives the former a piece of her mind verbally instead of cutting a finger or two off for the latter.

A good word to describe her in a nutshell is 'nasty'. Just plain nasty. Her semi-collected but otherwise violent disposition makes her an extremely poor candidate to try and reason with unless you're one of her superiors. She's got better things to do than to listen to you and put up with your bullshit.

She is insanely skilled with close combat and will use all four of her chassis legs plus the four other spider legs in her PAK to put up a fight. She can and will even separate from her chassis and turn a 1v1 into a very unfair 2v1 due to the fact that the chassis more or less functions as another PAK. Fighting her is nothing but unfair since she doesn't care to follow good combat etiquette since she'd rather get a right over quickly than to draw it out because there's rules that say that she can't completely wreck someone with dirty, under-handed tactics.

(Bottom line, they're both horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE people.)

-----------------

Aaaaand that's all for now. I'll update it more later and stuff.

Just be happy staring at the pretty lines and colors.

Grimble and Antimony are mine

Art is also mine

AH MAN I dig Antimony tons! Those legs are super rad, I love the idea that she received those instead of normal legs as a replacement hohoho Grim also looks like a cool grumpy gal, I think the slouchy posture is a nice touch.

Must also point out how much I like the clothing designs you come up with

SDDSLKGHDSG THANK YOU! ;A; <333

Yeah, these two, along with Ick, are my favorite loyalist babies. I tried to make them all unique without making them look like they'd break canon.

Doing more canon work/working within canon parameters as far as design and characterization goes is actually a really nice workout! I should have done it sooner, actually.

I'm still getting the hang of drawing outfits and stuff. They can be really, really difficult sometimes. >_> I usually have a picture or two of some random Irken from the show or whatever sitting beside whatever I'm trying to design when it comes to creating these outfits. I use that as a reference and then take off without getting too far off-model to make it somewhat special. As long as it doesn't look glaringly obvious that it's deviating from the norm, then it means that I succeeded (at least somewhat) with making it look decent, lol.

Oh man no problem!! You have fantastic characters sldkfm<33

I totally think you capture the canon feel well, both with the designs and the backstories. Gosh seriously your style looks like it flew right out of the show, except with a boost of fantastic coloring, fluid poses and cooler clothes. But it still always fits?? Your work is def more than just decent! ALWAYS HAVE ENJOYED IT<3

Is Grimble by any chance that Irken who had Kri's husband imprisoned? Or is that someone totally different?

I think you're thinking of Fel (if I'm remembering her name right).

Thank you very much! I'm glad that I was able to actually do her justice for once. Took long enough, lol. >3>

Oh Ok, the whole cold and tactical thing made me think of her in Grimble's description.
Yeah dude, she looks Awesome! Practice makes perfect much? Lol
I thought that old sketch of her you did looked great! But I get that feeling of "Oh hell no,mm-mm, nope no, this needs to die" lol
Can't wait to see her in action one day

*loud squealing* I love both of their designs, but Antimony takes the cake because she's literally a robot spider taur. Three awesome things combined. And they're horrible which automatically makes them cooler. xD Your designs always look so canon, even in the costume design, that it's uncanny. O-o

Why, thank you very much!

I used some refs from the show for the pieces so they looked the part. Thank goodness they came out as good as they did. >A>

Cheers for a stricter style!
