In which I remembered that, back in 2014 when the Five Nights at Freddy's craze had really just started, I created a couple creepy animatronic characters of my own...

The Possum County Country Ensemble went on to sort of become its own thing in my universe, pretty much entirely divorced from FNAF in all aspects aside from being free-roaming animatronic critters inhabiting my universe's equivalent of a Chuck E. Cheese and fitting in very well as an aspect of the larger world while also being fairly self-contained. While not homicidal in any way, they did tend to try to scare off any people stuck working overnight by being creepy because night time was their time, leading to rumors that the Possum County Country Diner and its animatronic attractions were cursed and/or haunted. The characters were actually mostly fun and goofy, although any poor sap taking a night job there probably wouldn't think so after the first couple nights!

There was even a bit of a story arc planned where the ever-unlucky Skunk Boy wound up taking a job there just because there was an opening to fill...

But, like a lot of my other projects that seem to be going well, I eventually just sorta shelved it and moved on to other things. Which is a shame, as it was actually my desire to make the Possum County characters have the same creepy look as the first Five Nights at Freddy's game that got me to start experimenting more with using textures and shading to get the look I wanted rather than my previous, more "flat" and "cartoon" style of coloring and shading.

However, when I started migrating my art over to Fur Affinity, there was a surprising amount of interest in them and that got me motivated to want to start using the Possum County characters again, even if it has taken me about a year to do so much as draw a portrait of one!
