Paper's OCs and Artwork!

[Papergansta]

Hello! I'm Paper, new to the Don't Starve forums. However, I've been playing Don't Starve ever since 2019 and have been loving the game since! I've had quite a run of imagining up concepts for characters and artwork!

First, I'll be doing character design (And some art) on this topic. Second, please do not steal my artwork (if I do post it) without credit; PLEASE!!! Now onto the show:

 

We are staring with my first Don't Starve OC, Wynter, the Competitive! I really liked this character as she was my first and Don't Starve needs more seasonal based characters. Wynter has all the base stats (150 health, 150 hunger, and 200 sanity). She enters the Constant with three pieces of ice and Skates, a wearable armor item that goes on the torso section. Her odds of survival are Grim.

"I'm just better. Period."

 

The following are her little tid-bits of info on the select screen-

-Adores a good show

-Dance a lot

-Is often cold

-Quite the priss

 

Once you spawn in, you have a special crafting tab titled 'Performance'. It includes the following crafting recipes:

Ice Bomb- 1x Nitre, 1x Ice, 1x Rope   "A bomb to start the show!". You know the things penguins spawn on? Once lit and thrown using a torch, it creates a plane of ice.

Ice Skates- 3x Slik, 1x Rock  "For all your thrilling shows!". You can skate on ice and go faster on ice planes.

Ice Pellets (10x)- 1x Ice  "Throw 'em at your friends!" Wynter can throw these to do minor damage. Walter can also craft these and use them in his slingshot, dealing 20 damage a shot.

Ice (x5)- 1x Watermelon

Watermelon- 5x Ice

"To ice or to not ice?"

Skating Scripts: When Ice Skates are equipped and are a plane of ice, Wynter can perform these to do damage and certain effects. Each performance lasts for three seconds.

The Illad- 1x Papyrus, 3x Living Logs  (Using this script, Wynter can do 75 damage/sec)

Icy Thrillers- 1x Papyrus, 10x Ice (Using this script, Wynter does 25 dmg/sec and slows enemies down for another 10 seconds)

Zesty Dance- 1x Papyrus, 1x Pepper, 1x Garlic (Using this script, Wynter does 50 dmg/sec and gains immediate agro to her)

 

Wynter is more kin to the cold, as she was a figure skater. She is immune to freeze damage but takes extra overheating damage, she also creates an aura of chill when she is not overheating, causing other survivors to freeze. 

Being the competitive sport she is, Wynter also has an aura dedicated to lower allies' damage while increasing hers that only: It is only in effect in Don't Starve Together. 

 

I found that while making Wynter, I had a hard time putting her into Don't Starve's region. Winter (Not to be confused with the character) is one season to get ice and Wynter's need for ice is really just another one of her downfalls. Summer is absolutely traumatizing for her if she doesn't have what she needs, and the aura that lowers damage is not help her either. I think her strength lies in PvP DST servers, doing great against bosses, and attract agro with her performances. 

 

I'll be posting every week in this forum, so stay tuned fellow survivors!

Hello fellows of Don't Starve! I'm here today to rant about Winona to speak to you about probably the least used character in all of Don't Starve Together, Winona. 

Definitely not doing this because I'm a Winona main... OK maybe I am but that doesn't matter.

Onto the show!

 

Winona is widely used for, umm, farming? I know she is REALLY good at farming hoard mobs but really? Compared to Wendy and Maxwell? Really? Why is Winona useful then? For base defense? Wait, Wendy, Wigfrid, Wolfgang, and literally anybody except Winona's Catapults can do it at least a bit better. I'm not trying to complain, but her gadgets are completely out shined by other characters. Take the spotlight: Why spend Nitre to get one of the smallest lights when you can spend 3 logs get the brightest? It's not even useful, a waste of generator power. On the topic, first suggestion, idle generators should not be losing power! It's not powering anything at all and this buff would make new strategies with Winona.

Here are some of my suggestions

- Add a Polished Catapult: 8 cut stones, 5 gold, and 3 Trusty Tape(5 energy/sec and 65 damage, plus 5 AoE damage)

- Replace Winona's Spotlight with Winona's Lighthouse: 3 planks, 1 fireflies, and 1 Trusty Tape (2 energy/sec and gives as much light as a fully lit fire pit) 

- Get rid of idle generators losing power

- Have each gadget have a power consumption rate (e.x. Catapult 5 energy/sec) instead of the amount of gadgets on the generator.

- G.E.Mrators take different increase to different gems (Blue/red: 50%, purple: 75%, yellow: 100%)

- Increase Catapult damage: 42.5 -> 45 flat

 

I think these buffs would make Winona at least a viable character and her not being outclassed by others. 

Thank you for your time, Fellow Survivors.

Hello survivors of the Constant! It's Paper and I've returned more things from the wormhole.

First, I need to address my Winona rework post, which I made crazy dumb. 

- Every machine now has a passive rate of 1 energy/sec

- Decrease Catapult damage back to 42.5

There are two, very important changes as a little buff to her as our appetizer. 

Onto the show!

Welcome Wina, the sorrowful (Win-a)! I liked this one, as I think Don't Starve needs some more crazy playstyles. She has quite odd stats (100 hunger, 100 health, and 225 sanity) and comes equip with three juicy berry bushes and a shovel. Wina's favorite food are cooked juicy berries. Her odds of survival are Grim.

"I don't really wanna go from this place..."- Wina, inspecting the Florid Postern.

 

A few tads and querks

- Is a herbalist

- Can retract her mind from her body in sleep

- Keeps track of the many moons

- Has horrible mental health

 

Being a herbalist, Wina can plant already fertilized things (Grass, berry bushes, ect. ect.), gains twice the amount of things from the plants, and has the chance to get another shrub/seed from picking the plants (Making her a bit better gardener that Wormwood: I want to rework him later). She gains 5 sanity gain whenever picking plants.

Does she exist? None of the survivors know... When she falls asleep, her spirit leaves her body and she becomes a ghost instead of her gaining health and sanity. Her ghost is much more stronger than others, she can attack, dealing 35 damage per hit. Whenever you fall asleep with a weapon equipped, that weapon's damage is also added to your ghostly hits. Her ghost also attracts agro from hostile monsters of the Constant. After she returns from her ghost, her sanity is subtracted by 50.

Wina, often bored with the survival of this purgatory, looks to the moon for answers. Any waning moon night increases her sanity by 10 per second,  any waxing moon night increases her health by 10 per second, a full moon gives a automatic 50 to all her stats, and a new moon has her sanity depleted by 100.

Her mental state, being a servant to Maxwell, has deteriorated over the years. Due to this, whenever she is below 50 sanity, she cannot mine, chop, cook, craft, build, nor give or feed items to players. Sanity monsters still exist attack her, however come whenever she hits 25 sanity.

 

I really had fun making this character, as she is more of a challenging character that has fewer advantages than disadvantages. Thinking about this character made me think of Wickerbottom, why? Well, Wickerbottom needs constant sanity control like Wina does. Both have great advantages and disadvantages with sanity limiting them.

 

That's the show, fellow survivors, goodbye and remember: Nothing can hurt you, except the moles...

Hello fellow survivors of the Constant. Paper here, and back again to showcase some of my art!

With further ado, onto the show!

This one is of Winona and my first

Magician Webber! I personally liked this one, as I could not draw Webber normally

And finally, Wolfgang with a science machine. I do like how I drew the machine but not so good on the Wolfgang.

Just a little art dump of three pictures because I feel artistic today.

Thanks for reading and that's all on today's show. Bye!
