Neon Divide’s ‘Black Hole Carnival’ - Character Design & Visdev
Character designs and visual development of a creepy alien clown cult ‘Black Hole Carnival’, featuring in VRChat’s ‘Neon Divide’ - an episodic vr chat roleplay stream on Twitch.
The cult’s castle base perched on a floating island, orbiting a black hole. The castle’s turrets detach and can be used as deployable orbital bombardments on the planets they gather resources from.
Stylised black hole icon
A detached castle turret. Left; the metal plating tapers into an aerodynamic shape to aid travel through a planet’s atmosphere. Right; metal plates pen to allow thruster control of the turret.
One of the cult’s clown divisions; knife thrower/espionage.
A fully rendered version
Jester type, body guards and general creepy consorts.
‘Clockwork clowns’ - heavily modded and bogged down with technological implants. More machine than organics
The bruisers; large strongmen type, made for intimidation and heavy hitting.
The Johnny Hightower, smooth, sleek and easily moved by fear. MC/show-host with a false smile and a lot of sleazy charm.
Tip, a cliche villain male goblin and his more-brawn-than-brains chauffeur, Scuzzy.
Scorn the Burned. Perpetually ablaze half-demon, melting through his armour and clown makeup.
Mr. Wicked Smile. Pure evil, can’t stop smiling.
Mother Dearest. Cocooned her original body in a tank to sustain the heavy modding/technological replacements. Collects children and mechanically layers them for eternal youth.
