I'm getting into playing minecraft again π
Made myself a new skin for that and wanted to draw that as well, so I guess I ended up with a new profile picture as well π
Here a picture of the skin I made:
And a fun fact about me: I never really manage to get into the late-game stuff, because I restart way too often. So the strongest tools I ever get, are ironπ
Just got another idea. What if I morph that onto the OC I wanted to draw originally?
Giving him some pretty wings ...
and maybe I'll change his hair as well
I just realised I have way too much reference material collected over the last year but still not enough ...
I'm doing an art challange this month with the theme:
Future Fantasy
Figured I could draw one of my OCs again, was looking through old stuff for a specific reference but couldn't find it ... instead found something else and I have another idea. I'm simply going to recycle one of my Undertale OCs who never made it.
And I kinda came up with this:
Here the pic I found of that unused OC:
God, my artstyle back then was something else π
Now I'm looking through old pictures and thinking like: aww that looks so cute. I should totally take some of the old designs and integrate them into the new ones.
like, here what I'm talking about (old one above, new one below):
I really like the eyes of the old one, the loose hairstrains and the staff. THAT STAFF IS SO COOL!!! Imagine her pulling out a giant ink pen out of it.
In the new design, I merged the eye colours (might undo that, I think I like the separate colours. I also did that originally to set her colour-sceme, since the cloak was ... all colours.) I replaced the staff with a scroll because she wouldn't be fighting, but currently I'm like, I don't care, I want staff, gimme staff o.o
Maybe I'll merge what I listed above from the old design with the hairstyle and outfit from the lower one. (If I make that staff a giant ink pen, that vial of ink will clearly need to be bigger. Or could it be, that she just spills the ink over the tip of the pen and then starts to draw?)
Edit: Oh and in terms of creativity and the creative way I decided their names (it was simply their profession. I was lazy π ) I decided to put a little more effort in and rename them. So er name is not Creativity or Crea anymore, her new name is Yishu.
Yishu, the guardian of creativity

I am trying to animate again :D
but nothing too big this time.
I was thinking about, how one of my OC's powers would work, and I had a little idea for a loop (after watching a sick fighting animation on Youtube, just that I couldn't figure out how to make something like that, so I'll just make a loop)
Anyway, I wanted to animate my OC Kael (Guardian of Time) and even with the keyframes, I am already impressed with how that looks.
Sneak peek below :D but don't expect too much
Note: Roughing it out, setting basic proportions, and so on ... I don't know if my timings are fine or if I need to tweak something about it ...
More sneak peek
I'm currently really pushing through. Also realised, I don't use any in-betweens by now XD (at least for now, but the animation feels fluid enough) AND I also needed to figure out the rest of the character design. I guess for now, I have something I might stick with, but this could change in the end or become more detailed.
AND NOW I FINALLY REALIZED WHY A CERTAIN PART LOOKED WEIRD!!! I copied the pose right as he turns around and forgot to change the legs so suddenly they were swapped.
And now I am realising that this might take some more brain power to fix, than just change that one frame ................
I think, I fixed it ... I guess it was not that visible from the beginning anyway ... just the feeling that was bugging me.
Well, it's still wrong and feels wrong. But this clearly takes more brain capacity than I currently have left. Guess I'll roughly animate the rest and continue hopefully tomorrow.
So, current state for today: (and yes, I still need to fix that stupid frame, or isn't it even noticeable?)
Sometimes I think it's insane what I can remember. I wanted to draw a specific screencap I saw some time ago on pinterest (probably about half a year ago) AND I STILL REMEMBERED THE EXACT IMAGE! (I didn't give up searching until I found it again) Glad I finally found it.
(And then I think about the moments I'm standing in the kitchen and don't know anymore what I wanted a minute ago)
made a second, taller design.
Some time ago (It was only a couple of weeks, beginning of July) I played around a little with game developing. (Well yes. I am doing a lot because I cannot decide what I like the most.)
I just copied a player script from the Godot website and tried that a little. Then I copy pasted some Luigi-textures to represent the character sprites and it felt fun.
Next step, I wanted to make my own textures for a character but had no idea where really to start, so I started making the basic skeleton model in pixel art. (currently just 4-directional but I'll bother to add the other directions later. And I currently have no animations, just the model facing all 4 sides.)
Currently, I am trying to make a character sheet for one of my OCs from my story "In-Between" and of course, I'm struggling with that for unexplainable reasons. (as always)
BUT I just opened up a music video with a pixel-art-thumbnail and I was like, some time ago, I did something like that, didn't I? So, I went back to my old files and opened up my template and started causually painting out my character and OH BOY, THAT LOOKS GOOD AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED SHADING YET!
And yeah, I didn't do the face yet XD
And here the old concept I based it on. I think I just changed the hair.
And some more information about him:
That's Blake, Guardian of Time. He can manipulate how time works for certain objects or living beings. Also, he can time travel but he's being careful with his powers since he's trying to avoid creating paradox timelines.
I wanted to write something more about his duty, but figured I have no idea why he needs to guard the time. I was just like, someone needs to make sure that we have no spacial interference between worlds. Why not add timelines to the mix? Blake was born.
Hey, I'm lostvi21 and currently Hobby-Artist and Storywriter.
Things I like are the Undertale Fandom and the MC Life Series.
If you want to ask me something, I would be happy to answer π
If you want, feel free to visit my devianart:
I like him way too much. Also, I decided to give his quirk the name Superspeed and his hero name is Slowmotion, since in his perception he slows down his entire surroundings as he uses his quirk.
Trying to create a character sheet for him for this year's ArtFight. If you want, check out my profile (got a lot of old characters back there where I DEFINITELY need to redraw the ref-sheets since my style changed a lot.)
(I could also imagine him wearing a Hawaiian shirt instead of his orange T-shirt. He would definitely look good in that... Gotta add this to the lost of things I want to draw but probably forget about again.)
After finishing the other one felt so great, I started another. This time, I'm drawing Kirishima. A current WIP:
Well, here I am again, telling myself to start small and then wanting to whip out a 3 min animation.
