I was catching up on reading the Stitchtown collab today and thought I would compile a list focussing on characters mentioned in various contributions to date.

This is just a catch-it-all list for easy reference, I'll leave it up to you guys to use or reRECord whoever you want. :)

Links contain either text descriptions or pictures of a character, or records where a new character not mentioned in other records is introduced.

Do let me know if I miss out anything. Thanks.

Also check out the other albums compiled by moonbug accessible from the Stitchtown collaboration page. I see albums for finished texts, music, general notes and an inspiration folder of selected images. Have fun~

ETA:
I'll be updating this reference list as new records are added and listing changes here so that no one has to play spot the difference.

Pearl_button
Another random character idea. 8D; i imagine her acting as a foil to Ned Needle, and possible love interest.
The arguably misnamed Pearl Button is the oldest of the Button brood. With twelve younger siblings, she had to learn to be self-sufficient at a young age. There’s little that’s delicate or feminine about her, although she is rather little herself, and she packs quite a literal punch, as a number of villagers have had occasion to discover through the years.

While growing up, Pearl often wished that she was more like her contemporary, the graceful Sasha Sequin; but after several failed makeovers that turned her more into a painted wooden duck than a graceful swan and no fairy godmothers being forthcoming, she has ruefully relinquished that particular dream and believes she has a bright future as a crazy old lady with a den of mechanical cats. For the moment though she fills the role of frequently dirtily-faced handywoman and general fixer-upper to the town (Pearl is good with her hands and often helps Charlotte Chalk bring her plans to life), as well as sibling-sheepdog.

She is somewhat (in)famously known for once threatening to clock Ned over the head with a clock during a town hall debate.

I had to color it and used the cool background from the original coloring of Stichpunk by Neithan, but I let the blue sky through as well.

Neithan wrote; "Theodore Thimble – The somewhat cantankerous old man is the town’s self-appointed watchman and one-man army. Suspicious of outsiders, but only because he really does care for his village." Love Neithan's character sketchs and thought retrophiliac's great painting suited. :)

In fairytales, love is always enough. So Ned stopped believing in them after his mother died; because love hadn't been enough to make her stay.

Work's been kicking my ass, so i haven't kept up with the Stitchpunk/town/Nevernotwuz collab since sometime last week x.x It's just randomness, since that's how my brain works 8D; The characters are Pearl and Ned. Apologies for the eyesearing colours. My tiredness and the brightness of the colours used seem to be corelated.

For some reason i wanted to draw some of the cast as kids. Pearl's waving garlic in Ned's face because she thought he was a vampire. Pearl is so good at logic. i'm sure it made a great story later, though: -

Pearl: When I was in school, I thought one of my classmates was a vampire!
Random Kid: :O!! Were they?
Pearl: Unfortunately, no.
Ned: /Un/fortunately?
Pearl: *shrugs* I thought it would be neat to be able to turn into a bat and fly around.
Ned: ... *gives Pearl a “You are so. Weird.” look*
Kid: So what happened?
Pearl: He grew up to be the mayor.
Kid: ...
Ned: ...
Pearl: In my defence, you were very pale.
Ned: I was /anaemic/.
Pearl: So are vampires.
Ned: ...........
Pearl: --But don’t fret, I know you are not one now, so I won’t try to stake your heart, behead you, and burn your body while you’re asleep, or anything.
Ned: .....................
Pearl: You have no sense of humour.


...aaand i just noticed Pearl's hand is completely the wrong way around because i forgot to redraw it. Argh.
