bonus headshots because these are also good ko-fi.com/raavenna/shop #tigon #fusionadopt The tiger(tigon? liger?) is a fusion of Kula from one of the Lion King books and Feliks from the Lion Guard. The lion is a Kiros x Zira fusion, Kiros being the evil white dude from the Mufasa live action movie.

Kula, a brown lion cub from one of those Lion King kiddie books that is very dubiously canon now.

A mashup of Kiros, the evil white lion from the live action Disney movie, and Zira from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. The result is a light brown lion with facial scars and a creamy white mane.

Kiros the evil live action lion with albinism or leucism or something.

@raavenna.bsky.social dropped some adopts at ko-fi.com/raavenna/shop if you like TLK-style lions. Grey one might be a snow leopard/tiger hybrid (or just a bigcat with funky markings if you wanna go more for realism) #lipard #adopt #tlkadopt #lionadopt #lion #lioness #lionessadopt #furryadopt

An Asiatic lioness adopt with brown fur and markings. There is a scar on the right foreleg.

more bugs: if I let Marza's minion survive the encounter he continues to incessantly pelt icecream scoops off of Connie's head for this entire cutscene but not the next, this is a good bug

Marza
"HNNNGGGH!!!"

Marza has a meltdown (mood) on the Essence Temple roof, there is a night sky and an aurora and snow everywhere. Connie stands and smiles as Marza the ice sorceress cannot cope with the happenings, Plum is also here.

More #connieandtheessenceofchaos fusions based on the arcade characters and posters. Jamjam cameos in Connie and the Essence of Chaos, Mr. Weems and the She-Vampires was a prompt for a silly gamejam game that Ryemanni made and Grease the Clown is in Scoop Kick. #scoopkick

A selection of characters on a darker gradient background.

The one labelled Ms. Shape combines elements of Ms. Cream with the lil' armless acorn-looking thing in the NUT arcade minigame, creating some kind of object being with no arms in a blue dress and white apron.

Mr. Sip is a blue and off-white elderly sipping cup with glasses, wrinkles and brown shoes combining elements of Mr. Weems and the cup enemy in Grease Crusaders. Accessibility handles form the ears that support the glasses.

Grease the Clown and the giant burger boss in the Grease Goons were combined to make a colourful off-purple burger with sauce stains, one hand and one foot. A tomato makes the clown nose. Gherkins make the brows for the creature aptly named Gherkin.

G. Dog is a hotdog in a bun with jalepeno or green onion hair coming out of a baseball cap, a clown nose and no arms.

Gamer Gunk combines Jamjam from Balloon Chase and the jumpscare enemy in Fear of the Nose to create a dark sludge-like entity with a hole where the nose should be, no legs, multiple eyes and detached feet.

possible visual glitch, connies' angry eyes turns into a raised brow at Bunty's shenanigans in Candy Conflict, not sure about elsewhere

Connie glares with one eye and raises a brow with the other. Plum waves her fists in the air, ready to deck Bunty. The sky has cotton candy clouds which are orange and pink, this foreshadows that Knight Captain Rose is gay, extremely gay, just the biggest lesbian, I have decided this

Played around with the $20 IHS x TLK Fusion option again by ko-fi.com/calicobarbar... to combine a fancharacter (redboi) with a pre-existing character in the #Ihopeso comic (the orange one) just to put the design out in the world. pretty lion end result aaaaa #ihopesocomic #lion #fusionadopt #art

A lion that may or may not be called Forest Fire, a reddish orange and brown-toned lion with a scruff of beard, cheek fluff and a small mane that partially covers a burn scar that took their right eye. The left eye is a brighter reddish orange.

The left fang sticks out of their mouth. There is a large blue forget-me-not flower on the head.

Brushfire, a dark red lion with a protruding fang, cheek and chin fluff and a mane more akin to a mohawk than anything substantial riding up the back of his neck. His eyes are a brighter red and he looks cautious.

Forget-Me-Not, a genderfluid orange lion with pronounced head fur and cheek fluff in the I Hope So webcomic, set to appear with the Red Stone arc. Their eyes are blue like the Forget-me-not flower on their head.

Tried to go for more eccentric fusions and characters I hadn't used yet in Connie and the Essence of Chaos. #freeadopt if anyone wants, though pretty limited to use as Connie OCs or otherwise limbless settings. #connieandtheessenceofchaos Still open to suggestions if folk wanna see whoever merged.

A gradient magenta, blue and green background with three character fusion designs on it.

Pearl and Mr. Eggplantman have been fused into a 'garden eggs' variety of aubergine named Gardenia with green and white colouring, as well as an egg-shaped body.

Naps was combined with the little rat or mouse seen in Burgersburg to create a mouse/rabbit hybrid with grey fur and big shiny black eyes. A cottontail rests at the end of the conventional pink rodents' tail.

One of the gummy bear enemies was combined with the ambient background snowman with the pink scarf to make a snowcone (or shaved ice?) bear hopping around leglessly in a paper serving cup, dubbed Coney. The fruit picture on the front suggests the syrup at their neck and ears is raspberry flavour.

Marza was combined with the sessile rose organism/obstacle to make some kind of mouthless rose creature named Rosa with blue petals and a partially amputated limb. Thorns form fingers on the left arm.

The little nosy creature from the noseless arcade game was combined with the cyclopic wizard's hat cameo in late game to make some sort of purple hat with a nose, feet and missing pupil, or perhaps a creature piloting a hat with a gold bauble and yellow bow. They have been dubbed Nosy.

111

bletherdaft @bletherdaft.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#3: MLM #luckofthedraw2026 #bear #chibi An #ihopesocomic adoptable commission that has since been claimed, based on the bear brotherhood flag. Art by @calicobarbarian.bsky.social via ko-fi.com/calicobarbar..., character is a fusion design of Breccia and Jasper Senior from the comic setting.

A big brown lion that may or may not be called Bearhug. The mane is black with a grey interior portion.

The fur is brown with black and white accents about the eyes, a cream muzzle, black nose and black pawpads. The tail appears to be amputated.

The same lion, rolling on the back as a chibi with orange and yellow eyes.

This time around I tried doing fusions of anything but Connie in the essence of Chaos lineup to change things up. #connieandtheessenceofchaos #art #fusion #carrot #merman #clown belatedly realizing the graham/giant silli fusion looks like a sausage

A few fusion designs of characters from Connie and the Essence of Chaos, with nametags beside them, on a magenta and green gradient background.

Masher
A carrot with ominous yellow eyes plugged into a skull, which is then plugged into a spikey meatball with carrots for feet. With their one hand they wield a potato masher.

Sickly Sweet
Some manner of corrupted being with dark pink skin beset by darker purple and blue veins. A propeller extends from their head and hunchback. The single cyclopic eye looks tired.

Daksi
Some manner of purple and green alien, perhaps plant, consisting of a pincer head with glasses, a long bauble neck and a body on wheels.

Silli Willi
A clown merman waving at the viewer with his massive manhands. There is a hole and a divot taken out of his tail fin, a missing eye and an x on his chest next to a conspiciously-placed red starfish. One of the fangs is gold. There is also a red fin on the head.

bletherdaft @bletherdaft.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

more fusions of connie and others in the essence of chaos lineup, this time Domino, Grandmaster Carotus, Fester, Dark Magician and Simo. Component characters belong to @ryemanni.com also fusion mashups are fun everyone should try doodling that at least once #connieandtheessenceofchaos #art #fusion

Various designs on a blue and purple gradient background fusing together Connie, Domino the demon, Grandmaster Carotus, Fester the bin bag, the Dark Magician and Simo the cat.

The end results are a footless demon tipping their tophat, a handless carrot monster, a binbag with two limbs, a blonde magician and an elderly catgirl in a cardigan or poncho with a walking stick.

felt like drawing fusions of connie with others in the essence of chaos line-up (these work as fandom-specific freebie adopts if someone likes that indiegame setting in particular) can reply suggesting a given fusion combo if you want #connieandtheessenceofchaos #fusion #freeadopt #art

Four characters, all design fusions between Connie and other characters - Plum, Bunty, King Flødeboller and Kaneli. They result in a pink and blonde legless and mouthless character bouncing along on their hands, a stern woman with chunks bitten out of her head, a Danish marshmallow puff monster and a rabbit with an easter egg on a stick as a weapon - dubbed Plummy, Bonnie, Mallow Monarch and Coneli respectively.

gamblepark casino is trickier for ideas (edible flowers I think would be fun for Gentle Gardens inspired food items), the items I can see are all alcohol-based or botanicals. It is also where you attain the sour essence power, so: champagne and ice cubes, olut(beer), lemons? palm tree?

third level, last world - could get the punchy powerup from the Eggplantman hence full speed punchy bar, could not get the single-use heart booster because it is wedged into the wall

Connie leaps in vain to acquire a white and gold health upgrade firmly wedged inside the red brick interior of this level. It is a metaphor for how I fail miserably trying to complete this level in particular. The crates infront of her in this brick tunnel are presumably a metaphor for the futility of my attempts at beating this level.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 This is about as bright as the colour-changing platforms get, if that helps for assessing eyestrain risk? The colour-change is slow as well, though the lines between tiles flash white at medium speed. Single tiles change colour in time to the music which is both neat and helpful.

𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 full health pre-bossfight u know what that means (suffering) I like Marza from her first line lol. actual encounter is a mix of "how much do you want to balance damageboosting vs not dying", I cheesed it but still took me a bit to figure out how. Think she might be fae

Connie in a snazzy black and yellow costume referencing an IP I am not familiar with, Plum, is also here. The background is an outdoor frozen temple with a nightsky sporting an aurora. There is a full health power-up and two speed fist power-ups, I am going to die here.

"CONNIEEE! You're finally here!"

A floaty pink, white and blue antagonist with detached arms is happy to see Connie in this frozen temple setting.
