I've Been Trying To Figure Out Which Of My OCs To Draw. I Was Thinking It Was A Funny Idea To Make The

Progress Update on Izuku: lineart done

Here the links to the sketch and the colors.

Alt. Version without the shadow in the hair colored

I have the problem, that I think my expressions are too plain ... I think I figured out a way to get myself to exaggerate them.

I'm simply drawing different expressions, simplified to a smiley in a circle, just that I draw it 3 times. Each time, I try to make the expression more intense. and then I draw it on a face.

(I'm making the 25-essential-expressions challange)

Like here some examples:

Happy:

Sad (Idk, not too satisfied with that one but whatever):

Pleased (I like this very much. Like that smug character winning another argument and then smiling at you like that and saying, Told you~ ... or just a cute cinnamon roll ...):

Angry:

And confused:

Looks kinda good. If I did that challenge without the three smiley faces, it would show less expression.

Thought I might share that, maybe that helps someone.

I was trying the Loomis method for heads after seeing the first 10 minutes of this video and I finally figured out how to draw 3/4 faces appropriately 😁

Use a sphere, chop the sides off and draw 90° guidelines onto the sides. These guidelines determine the way a character is facing.

I drew superspeed a little friend, so they could cause havoc together.

And I used markers for this one (except the skin because I don't have the right colors.)

I also don't have a name for him but this sweet guy admires Edgeshot and straves to become one of the top ten heroes, just as him.

I don't have a name for his quirk as well, but he can create force fields and absorb physical force. Then he can release all of the force he collected. That also works with quirks but he can only absorb one quirk-impact at a time and needs to release it before being able to absorb another quirk-impact. (And with quirk-impact I mean something like a wall of ice hitting the force field.)

And for just trying out to draw with markers again this turned out pretty cool. I remember the last time I tried that I got frustrated as I colored in the skin and the character started to look like an orange. But this blend of pencils and markers feels nice. Not spending an entire day on a drawing and getting vibrant colors.

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?)

And yes, this piece ... I still love it even if it was one of my earliest ones ... and I think there's barely something I could improve on this (except the background ... and challanging myself with perspective)

I was looking through my devianart and found this picture I did about a year ago. Didn't post this here yet.

I still remember how proud I was as I finished that ...

Dream and Nightmare by @jokublog

I was drawing a lot in my sketchbook lately and I came up with this place. Something in between of nothing. That's why I called this the "In-Between"

(I am also working on a concept for the character in the middle, but I first need to figure out how he looks. AND I also want to get a little away from my Undertale content, since I failed AGAIN to transfer my idea in a format I would accept, I do what I can do best: start over.)

I really love how peaceful and silent this place seems. I imagine this place to be a sub-dimension in between worlds. Kind of a connecting point for those who are aware. For that, it doesn't need to have much. I decided anyways to give this dimension a guardian and him a little place to be with a little company. (Birds are cute 😊)

Found this little goober while looking through my sketchbook.

I saw this video by Shady Cicada and I was thinking like: huh, would be a cool idea if someone made a start screen for that or something. I mean that music is SOO GOOD 😍😍😍

So, I sat down at my drawing tablet and started drawing. No idea what that was, I was just going with a feeling 😁

And that's what I came up with:

I'm so proud, especially since I had no real idea what I was doing. And I still don't know what this world is about 😂 But after all, it's up to Cicada how that world turns out.
