Update on PPt OC
I’m going to start working on my ‘ex-worker’ OC, but I’m going to display him in a different kind of format. Mainly through found documents & items, & even written out ‘commercials/broadcast’.
I’m still trying to figure out the style to draw these characters in, I like the cartoon style but the ‘realistic’ style works better for darker themes. I’ll probably bounce between the 2.
I’m also planning on making a second account just for Poppy Playtime OCs, still thinking of a name though. I’ll be moving all of my ppt art to that account once it’s been created.
Anyway, I’ll give the basic background about this character:
The main premise is that he is a parent of one of the orphans in Playcare. Basically his wife took the child there without him knowing until it was too late.
After some unfavorable actions, he got a job at Playtime Co to find his child. However, he got fired & even jailed due to some violent behavior.
He just got released, & under a new identity, he comes back to the now dilapidated factory with the delusion that his child is still there somewhere.
His name is Martin Redd, but that’s not his true name. That will revealed in due time.
By the way, this guy is like in his early 50s during chapters 1-4, so you can imagine what traversing through the factory is like for him.
I’ll reveal more of his character through future posts. But to simplify him as much as possible: he’s a loving father with good intentions, but makes incredibly bad life decisions.
Should I do some character backstory for these 2, like who they were before? I already have something in mind for Mary.
Also should I start on making one of the ex-worker OCs that I mentioned in the past, mainly Samuel?

Poppy Playtime OCs Because Why Not (This is just more for fun)
After watching the play through of Chapter 4 & seeing the amount of fanart (both canon & OCs), I thought it would be fun to come up with some possible concepts for some OCs.
Might draw them, might not, I’m not sure yet.
Anyway below are the concepts:
Toys
Smiling/Nightmare Critter
After the scandal & recall of the Catnap Plushies, Playtime Co tried to create a new character to take Catnap’s place in the Smiling Critters Cast. Wanting to keep the same theme of “a good night’s sleep”, Playtime Co decided to base the design off the concept of “counting sheep”.
The character would be a sheep with white wool & black limbs, & wears a cloud shaped pendant with “Zs” in it or a pillow shaped pendant. They also had a chamomile scent.
They would have been named “Sleepy Sheepy”. However, it never made past the review period due to timing & negative ties to Catnap who both are associated with sleep, & fear that another scandal could occur from this.
This design was then used to create “Baba Chops”: inverted the colors, & changed their personality & along with changing their scent to Anise; who is part of a new line of characters called the Nightmare Critters.
Due to a “special request” from an anonymous source, the concept of Sleepy was altered. The character was changed to be a white lamb wearing a bell shaped pendant, but still kept the chamomile scent.
The character was named “Mary Little” & was used as a limited edition toy to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. They also made a special appearance in the cartoon for the same reason.
Their personality was described to be very curious & a bit naive. They wanted to be friends with everyone & for everyone to feel included. They would’ve act as a peacemaker or negotiator between the Smiling Critters & Nightmare Critters. In the show, they only had one major appearance & would then only appear a couple of times afterwards before the cartoon was discontinued.
Due to them being a limited edition toy, there was only a handful of them produced & was only available during the year 1991. A Bigger Body was never created due to the same reasons above, but there were plans of one if the Catnap Bigger Body became “uncooperative”.
The living toy experiments were also conducted on the plushies as well, but were less in number. After the Hour of Joy, most of the plushies were killed & eaten, with the exception of those that followed Catnap. There was also just one that took refuge in Safe Haven.
Humans
Past Employee: Mary Sawyer
Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. Wanting to grow closer to her father, she tried to gain an internship at Playtime Co.
After seeing her potential, Dr. Sawyer put in a request, & pulled some strings, to give her permission to work with him on the living toys experiments & the Bigger Body Initiative.
However, after seeing the experiments & treatment of the toys, Mary was horrified & wanted to leave. But due to fear of being “taken care of”, she continued to work alongside Dr. Sawyer to secretly gather evidence.
During the Hour of Joy, Mary was out doing an “errand” for the other scientists. When she came back, she saw the aftermath & fled immediately.
10 years later, she returns back to Playtime Co to figure out what happened & to see what happened to the toy & BBI experiments.
-or-
Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. When she was younger, she was often brought to Playtime Co with her father & was used to test the experiments’ reaction to children.
The toys were quite fond of Mary due to her kind-hearted nature & gentle approach. She was often around the Nightmare Critters, who were very affectionate & friendly towards her after she would give them snacks.
After Dr. Sawyer was turned into the Doctor, Mary was sent to live with other relatives & hasn’t been back to Playing Co since.
She would constantly ask about her father & “friends”, but many of the relatives would just change the subject or say they didn’t know what she was talking about. This caused Mary to doubt her memory & the time she was at Playtime Co.
10 years after the Hour of Joy, Mary would run away from her home & return to Playtime Co to find her father & “friends”. However, she only found a factory filled with starved toys & notes written on vhs tapes.
Past Employee: Samuel Barnes
Samuel was the older brother of Kevin Barnes. They were separated, with Sam going to live with his parents while Kevin was sent to the orphanage due to his “behavior”. He was sent to the orphanage at a very young age, so he doesn’t remember Samuel that well.
His family would deny the existence of Kevin whenever Samuel would ask about him. It wasn’t until he turned 18 when he found out the truth.
Enraged by his parents’ actions & concerned for his brother’s safety, would go to Playtime Co to find him, but was denied access to the orphanage.
After creating a fake identity, Samuel would apply for a job to work at Playtime Co. Mainly to gather information & find Kevin, while also needing a job in general.
However, after being caught multiple times trying to look through classified documents, he was fired & banned from the facility. He was then arrested & imprisoned for trespassing & aggravated assault about a couple days after being fired.
10 years later, it’s unknown if he escaped prison or was released early for good behavior, he went back to Playtime Co for closure. But was met with an empty factory filled with starved toys & eaten corpses.
These are just a few ideas for concept ideas for possible OCs, I would like hear what you guys think, & if you all like them then I might make art of them.
Mmmmm, toxic yaoi
Ref for Doey's image btw:
° the voices
My first association with the character Doey is the episode from Steven Universe, where the Clusters first appear. That moment when the creature takes shape, and we see the faceless silhouettes of the Gems forcibly fused together. They want to separate, but they can't
So, I guess it inspired me 🤔
Little silly thing I drew last night

MY CURRENT FAVS IN THE SAME POST?,,
✨this is awesooome✨
What an unlikely Duo!
EEEP MY ART TRADE WITH @hecklefreckled TURNED OUT SO GOOD!!!!!
Their half and my half!!!
what if nico entered the factory shortly after the player, and because he decided to NOT be a dick and actually help people, he was just suddenly named as the new angel-
because like- then dogday could have his soul transferred to a smaller dogday plush thru the power of good ending logic, doey would be calmed down and taken to a safe place, and they'd be all on the lookout for kissy to find her and keep her safe-
also switch is an oc i made, because i think it'd be real fucked up if in this universe, nico was some employee who used to have his ideas stolen bc he wasn't mentally well, and eventually the scientists made a character just to mock him, and to take away the only two kiddos who understood him to mash them into it- i think that'd be kinda fucked
(i also just love torturing my boy <3)
y'all i don't care much for poppy playtime but GODDAMNIT I LOVE THEM
The Doey mobile getting McDonald’s <33
+ silly doodles
(The person hugging him is his(jack’s) mama)
I love him dearly.
Or should I say them?
I have a thing for fat men.
Don't judge me
