Yesterday (maybe the day before) Hibiscus_Cove on TH just kind of. Gave me a character. And this is the character's new ref!
This one isn't quite as refined as my usual art because it wasn't supposed to be a full thing at first. By the time I decided to finish it up I was too far along to redo the lines lol. I still like it though.
One of the main design changes was adding more colours and patterns. I tried to stay true to the OG though, and I think it worked? I also gave them a bit of an outfit and I changed their species. They were originally just a dragon, but I've got a species I'm developing and I'm looking for more OCs to add to it, so yeah. This guy got hit by the species beam.
Likes and reblogs are greatly appreciated! But don't feel obligated of course :3
The HTTYD universe's ecosystem must've been so damaged when all the dragons dissappeared.
"but people wanted to hurt them!" people want to hurt wolves to, but we don't send them all to an isolated cave because it would destroy the ecosystem.
In fact, "dragon" is just a collective word for multiple species so they really fucked themselves with that one.
In conclusion, the third movie was stupid.
So pretty!!!
Hello! I crawl out of the abyss to share some artwork i did for my graphic design class :> cheers lads
Vee?? Wtf???
Uh, so I don't like Vee's canon design, mostly her palette. A green palette could work, sure, but her specific palette is not good. Primarily because the two shades of green are almost exactly the same value (which makes them blend together), but also because it makes her look much more like a computer than a TV. Besides the colours, it kind of bothers me that she (and many other toons) are basically completely naked.
So I wanted to take a shot at redesigning her.
Here, we have a red/blue/grey colour scheme. This just makes the most sense to me; when I think "movie" or "TV" those are the colours I think of. The red and blue are also supposed to mimic 3D glasses.
She's fully clothed, in a suit because what else would she wear. Gave her white gloves bc the light value draws attention to her hands and makes her gestures easier to understand. Her face and tail glow for the same reason. I'd have Vee's tail always showing, by the way. I do not want to know where she puts it in canon. Uh. Anyway, she has a belt chain too bc they're cool.
Will make a good drawing of this design at some point, but I'm feeling lazy tonight, so yeah.
Ok that's it byeee (I will go back to my regular stuff eventually, I promise, but feast well in the meantime)
P.S. Reblog if you wanna see my other toon redesign ideas >:)
I've been assembling a backlog for my DA, and this is the third thing from it. Thought it'd be worth posting here, too. It's cover art for my main Spotify playlist. More under the cut.
The playlist is called jammin (lowercase j) and I made it at the end of 2022. For a while, it had no icon, until I made this in like, mid-2023. I don't know why I didn't post it to my DA earlier, other than for fear of people making fun of my music taste. I'm very self-conscious about this stuff. It's a miracle I'm even posting this
If you want to investigate the playlist, here's a link (that Tumblr turned into a preview. Oh well):
It's full of Lemon Demon, Bo Burnham and Will Wood because I have problems. It's also heavy on the swearing and a few of the songs have some potentially upsetting content in them. But it's generally safe to listen to.
I promise I'll actually post art soon but until then, please. Lucids is so swag and the fandom needs to be bigger. Go watch it. Unless you don't want to have a mild existential crisis or paradigm shift, I guess.
a random guy rlly will go ‘what if i made the most interesting and meta bullshitty series where every character is acted by myself that will change how ur brain chemistry works’ n i have no say in the matter but to cry about it
anyway if you like multiverse and dreamscape-y stuff PLEASEEE go watch ‘LUCIDS’ by Nicholas Podany on youtube im like, actually losing my mind.
here's the style analysis template from today's video!
YEAH!!!
i could watch about 8 billion of these every single day. i eat them up like a vacuum cleaner
Three raffle prizes I drew over the last couple of weeks for a raffle I hosted on Instagram!
1st: for c0mput3r_blu3_
2nd: for alpha.angrian
And 3rd: for amazonartdragon
ARTIST ASK GAME with 4, 14 annnd/or 29???
Whoopee!
4. Piece you wish got more love?
Hmm... I don't often let myself get sad about my art not doing as well as I hoped, but I do sort of wish the raffle prizes I posted earlier this year had gotten some more likes. Although the main reason they didn't was that I didn't have many followers (I still don't but my art gets more likes now so yeah).
14. What's your favourite thing about drawing?
This question is a tad vague, so I'm just answering on vibes if that makes sense. I think my favourite thing about drawing is really just the joy of creation. Like, it's fun to make stuff and to have it in my files and online and think "yo, I made that". Plus, I usually enjoy the process a lot (although I like certain parts more than others).
29. Do you use a lot of references while drawing?
It really depends on what I'm drawing! If I'm really familiar with it, I can bust it out with no reference. But if it's a new species, or a weird angle, or something else that I don't do much, I'll usually try to pull up some references, because otherwise, it doesn't really meet my standards.
