The Return of Skoops

Across the vast multiverse, there exists a different Skoops - one who never met Ashora, nor did he ever become the adoptive father of our hero Cade. This Skoops was chosen by the Dreamstar to be its sole champion instead, defending the New World but also still having some laughs and good fun along the way.







SKOOPS: "First things first! DONUT mess with me! I know...CONE FU!"


"B-BIRD IS THE WORD!"


"Hmmm, now if only there was someone to be the guinea pig for my new Banana 'POP'...still haven't worked out all the bugs..."

???: "D-DID SOMEONE SAY...BAH-NAH-NUH?!"
SKOOPS: "Cedrick! Just the one I was looking for!"

Interesting new Skoops. Looks pretty wild.

Yes, this new Skoops certainly knows how to have fun.

Cool!

Nice to see you again! And always interested in the infinite incarnations of your fictional creations! He looks good.

Insane level of detailing, weathering, and realness!

Now I wanna see the ultimate mind-blowing action figure crossover: the worlds of AlKelAstra91 and ReverendSpooky in collision!

I dunno how y'all do what you do, but it's beyond "next level."

Thanks guys! And davidd, a crossover like that would be so wild, I'd definitely be down for it. I took a couple more photos and also played around with editing some effects and filters for previous ones, here are the results:

They look awesome next to each other!

Cool photos and effects. Nicely done.

What a beautiful Grungelord! Ice Cream formed this astral body.

Your Astrafari feel very alive with the many changes and upgrades they experience.

His hair makes it look like he has a wolf's ears. Reminds me a bit of one of my forest folk fur cap styles. But yours has more anime/cosplay convention vibes.

The vibrant food next to their gritty grunginess/grungy grittiness is a great contrast.

I like the Visor upgrade too, makes him look superheroesque.

By now you could start a complex Fandom wiki for the Astraverse...


So long Astraman.

nice to see something from your universe again - your style is so different and coherent.
Sadly I can’t remember all characters and their relationships but I do enjoy your pic and stories nonetheless. I also like your experiments with the various filters and photo effects.

Cone Fu!

Well crafted figure. I especially like the painting around the eyes.
Crazy cool

And interesting to see the effects you can add in post.

I had another look through and wanted to add that I really like the details and weathering on Skoops' jacket. It's such a great look for him!

Hehe, much appreciated feedback, Ovy-Wan. Trying to flesh out these characters over time has definitely taken a while, I'm glad those physical changes and experiences have been reflected in their transition here, and many more adventures to come!  

I was kinda surprised by how well the hair worked for this version of Skoops, considering it was originally a beard for one of those cheap Santa decorations from the dollar store.

Futuristic superhero is what I was going for, just a hint of where the next photo story is going to take place.

Greatly appreciated comments. I know my characters/world building and continuity can be quite a mess and jumps around a lot, understandably confusing to keep up with, but I am mostly simply having fun with these guys nowadays. So I am just happy you can enjoy them for what they are. And yes, the experiments with the various effects are always a lot of fun in the editing process.

Haha! I'm pleased you picked up on my humorous attempt at a play on words. That's goofball Skoops for ya! And happy you liked this updated take on the character's design.

Thanks so much, Sky! Yeah, that vest has definitely been through a lot of alterations and multiple layers of diluted paints to get that specific 'cool, rugged' look I was going for. I'm glad you agree that it is aesthetically fitting for him!
