ennea is a prefix meaning nine (my favourite/special/lucky number). tone is from dialtone as in phones, but is also meant to combine with the A in ENNEA to be ATONE. just sounded cool. added the ring to make it more unique and not get me confused for being a musician because it's similar to "enneatonic"
the idea of using ennea in the title also comes from a concept I had of a story involving my little persona character
USERNAME LORE GIVE IT TO ME NOW YOU ALL
My god. I have this one world/story I wanna make a webcomic about so much but the timeline is SO BAD like it's not even funny. Way too many missing details in the worldbuilding and plot holes and contradictory stuff... agrrhgg
This is why I started making flow charts for my plots. It helps me realize everything I messed up. Me consulting my flowchart to make sure my story is coherent
My current goal with my artstyle is to get more cartoony and stylized with my characters...
More about all this below!
For a while I had been strictly staying to attempts at realistic stuff. Not full-on realism, but as good as I could get it.
It was fun, but hard to do, and I was always struggling with some feature. And I never really let myself do cartoony stuff because I had this mindset that if I started doing that, I'd "lose my progress" on all the realistic skill.
Then for art class we had a unit on cartoon characters. It put me out of my comfort zone, but I was actually having WAY more fun with these characters and CONSTANTLY creating these little cartoon designs where I could, like, instantly TELL exactly who they were.
Not to say realism is boring, not at all, just that I think it's important to find which style is, personally, the most enjoyable to draw with. And as someone who is really into expressiveness and character design, I think something more stylized and exaggerated will be a good direction for me. It's already proven to be something I thoroughly enjoy...

I need to stop procrastinating I have a whole storyboard sitting around that I'm just.... not making a final version of.... Geo stay dedicated to your art projects challenge GO (impossible difficulty)
Shaded version! And a couple revamped colours. PS. I really enjoy re-using other parts of the palette to do the shading....

Character named Witch is NOT!!!!!!! my character by the way!!! Gotta find the tumblr of my friend who owns it and I'll edit the post when I nab it :]
Edit: Character owner is @enneatone-ring!
Also apologies if the Tagalog is inaccurate, I poked around for ~20 minutes to ensure validity but I cannot be 100% sure it is
Ok change of plans he'll look like this now. Just gotta clean up the colours + shapes and such and boom
More character concept
Will probably make the shirt colour more saturated + make the purple darker.
This is part of a group of characters I'm making for a webcomic idea I might make at some point! Though it will require more planning and probably better dedication skills than I currently have.
