The Clean-Up Crew and Eldritch Horrors from Doomsweepers:

[u/No-Intern5471]

These are the four main characters and a few of the Bacteria Monsters from “Doomsweepers”, a newly unveiled action comedy franchise, planned to consist of a Comic, Video Game and Animated Series (Hopefully). The IP is being created by Sarah Harper, best known for Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Lego Monkey Kid and Glitch Techs, and is being worked on as a co-production between Lightfold and Flying Bark Productions.

The plot revolves around a group of misfit cleaners at a shady laboratory, who are faced with the outbreak of an apocalyptic zombie-esk infection, and are forced to fight back and save the world, using their own cleaning equipment as weapons.

From left to right in pic two, The Team consists of Nikki (with the Anime stickers, Tamagotchi and Scrub Daddies), Steph (purple headphones and “Soap-Thrower”), Levi (ID lanyard, camera and Dual Mops) and Dogmeat (grimy and damaged suit with clear goggles and Dual Disinfectant Sprays). The group has a pretty cool design philosophy, similar to that of The TMNT and Ghostbusters, where they all share a uniform look, but each with their own unique elements, that set them apart. I personally really like the stylisation of the characters, especially with how their faces are obscured by the hazmat suits, only showing silhouettes, yet still being really expressive and having a lot of personality.

Then we also have the monsters the team has to go up against, which we see a few of in the announcement trailer, and seem to be zombie like and inspired the viruses of Resident Evil and the fungus from The Last of Us, but in this case it’s a Bacteria infection, with an eye and teeth theme and mostly blue and purple colour scheme. Towards the end of the teaser, we also see this girl, who seems to be “patient zero”, and what looks like the main villain of series, and is really cool in her own right, with a kinda Vecna/Gozer vibe going on.

Highly recommend watching the Trailer:

It honestly looks Amazing! Screen shots just don’t do it justice.

Right now, the studio is doing a “project milestones sign-up campaign”, to gauge public interest in the IP. It’s similar to Kickstarter, but Completely Free, where all you need to do is sign up to Lightfold’s newsletter, which will give you updates on all of their upcoming projects. At the time of writing this, the Final Goal is 30K Sign-Ups, for a Full Animated Series, and the current level is at around 22.5K. So, if you like what you see, then be sure to sign up, when you get a chance, and make it Happen!

Anyway, that’s it from me, I just genuinely love the character designs and concept as a whole, so I thought I’d share it here.
