appreciation post for: costume necky the fox

 Yep, like as mascot should be! And speaking of this mascot costume, I honestly don't know what happened to it as there could've been some lost/obscure history behind this that we don't know about as Necky isn't talked about well aside from the video game characters that he cosplays as (especially Mario). Perhaps I'll do more research about this someday if anything interestingly new pops up around my end.

I swear in that blue boxed one... he's like naked. 👀

*in Plankton's voice from SpongeBob* GOOD GRIEF, HE'S NAKED!

*back to normal voice* At least we can see his tail and wearing some clothes for the most part.

As for most of them, they were originally from the main Famitsu magazine series as this appeared only briefly in the early 90's before Famitsu was getting many of those sculpture art covers sometime shortly after like a year or so. And as for the rest (AKA the last two at the bottom), they're from a manga called: "Famitsu no Are" as I feel like Necky is just there on the covers (like always) than actually being a character into some kind of story for instance... Especially whenever humans are the main protagonists. Haven't read it yet, but that's what I have a strong feeling with if I ever read it at some point (especially for those people like me that wanna see Necky getting more interactive than just "being there" for the sake of the covers).

My Trio in TL:LtD Demo

 Guess what I've played on a Sunday? Yep, I'm finally hopping on the "Living the Dream" bandwagon! And as you can see within the title, I've only played the demo version that I've recently completed within hours.

Anyway, as for my trio listed down below (if you're unfamilar with them) they're Hojo Sophy/Sophie (left), Puniru (middle) and Ichijoji Sakura (right)!

Don't mind if Sakura and Sophy/Sophie bust a move lol.

And this is their info looks like (aside from personality details).

And I also got their canon ages and official birthdays on here! For Sakura, she was 15 in HnAP season 2, but I just put her as 14 to have a bit of a different age than Sophy/Sophie's. Aside from that, I'm glad that nonbinary option exists (especially for fictional characters that aren't really born with an existing gender for some reason as Puniru does apply to this). Like, why would anyone get mad at that (unless if they're joking to get attention... the bad way)?

Would love to get the full game sooner than later, but 60$ for a silly little Mii game? Well, hopefully that price goes down someday (whenever it goes on sale)! And there's the other TL game on the 3DS that costs way more than LtD. But I like LtD more since it has a bit more variety to some things (despite it would've been nice to bring back the "musical song mode" in the game... Like the 3DS and Tomodachi Collection DS games had it). And it also would've been nice if they also added the color range picker to the hair and etc. than just a face paint exclusive thing to play around for the characters with that I agree with this one Twitter user here (yeah, yeah... mentioning Twitter again despite my disliking over the platform that I've stated before, but they honestly have a point tho).

Plus, I'll be sharing more pics from this demo pretty soon... 

So, see you then!

P.S. Not the best face paint drawer that I've tried to do their hair as I can. And I think I might have to redo Puniru's bangs whenever I get the full game sometime down the road.

Some Characters From a Recent Event in ILPP

 Tended to capture some of the characters this time around (but didn't manage to get them all since I probably didn't have the time and characters like Jewlie did pop up for me, despite I forgot to capture her and as for Mirei she was wearing the same exact coords as you'll see in this post).

And this is who I got before they all reverted back to their main casual coords!

unpopular opinion: necky the fox and the 2020 warner brothers' added hair tufts

 As for Necky, I'll say it's more of a ahoge, and a cute little one at that! Not part of his main design, but I can imagine it was added in there as a one time thing while wearing that suit that's been pictured in the meme. Even I saw him with alternate spiky hair (that could be from his own head hair instead of wearing a wig) on a few Famitsu covers!

As for the Warner brothers, I really don't got much to say unless if you wanna look at this older post of mine on showing other related examples here.

For the Necky picture I've found (but edited a bit to brighten it up as it looks much better that way) was from here:

8 Bit Necky the Fox Background

 This is from the FamitsuTUBE channel that you'll see this mini pixel guy pop up while waiting for the actual presentation to start!

And this is extended by me that I also removed any text (without using AI and only cropped a bit to make this pattern in Google Slides).

P.S. If you wanna use this background as a wallpaper, I don't mind.

90's WB Studio Styled Necky Plushie 🟡⚪

 Basically made this not too long ago and this was partially traced off of my very own Wakko plush. And for what Necky is wearing, it actually came from an AI-generated animation video made by some teen on YouTube who's probably lazy to draw at the time. And at least I'm not the only one who's making fan-content based on the Famitsu fox, but it would've been nice if Serenity D. 101 could've drew him. Even S D. 101 makes "recolored OCs" that makes them lazier to be honest. You know, basically editing existing characters with their stock art and adding some things to them (but mainly coloring them in differently and call it a day).

If you wanna look more in detail on what I'm talking about, then go to this post:

Plus, don't mean to brag here, but they're also one of those people that say that "b-word"... Good lord. 🙄 Can't wait for that word to be irrelevant someday! Sorry for complaining again, but that word is getting like the plague to me.

Uuhh... Sudden bonus screenshots?!

Oh, as I was writing this out... AI Necky is back. Even that is a Christmas special is just waiting there for months now. Like, is the script also AI-generated too?!? Yeah, don't mean to do this to you guys, but boy, they NEED to draw once I say they need to draw... period! And screw this teen for using AI honestly. Especially if they're producing "filler content" this fast! After all, I gotta say, this teen needs to learn what effort is if that's the case.

But wait, there's a bit more of AI Necky that I found again... And with this time, it's like a mish-mash of AI art, recolored OCs and perhaps etc. from what I can tell.

Gee, it looks like I did Serenity D. 101's part on actually drawing Necky with that kind of look (even I have to use a real-life plush of mine as a base). Hopefully, they gotta limit their use onto AI someday. And that's all I can say for now!

P.S. As for Necky's right hand, that pinky could be hiding somewhere, but that's how I try to draw it.

🥺💟🌟 What If NGO/NSO Had a Weekly Famitsu Magazine Cover? 🥺💟🌟

 I think that this would be a cool idea to make a fake Famitsu cover out of this for some reason. Especially making it a crossover one that Necky cosplays Kangel with Ame-chan or just have Yakko Warner as Ame-chan. Just feels like I wanna do an Animaniacs crossover with this one including the Famitsu mascot himself (whenever I tend to do this with digital art than my usual stuff on how it would come out)! Even I'll throw in Dot and Wakko by the Famitsu logo referencing a few things. Even it's one of those games I just like for the aesthetic of it (for the most part) and not play much.
