I Just Read "School Bus Graveyard" And I Adore The Artstyle. They Really Comitted To Using The Default

current mantra

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.

Name: Null

Age: 19

Gender: human - male

Ability: code sight

Backstory

Null is actually a copy of Zero, which he unconsciously created after his love died. Since there he first was just an unheard voice in Zero's head, experiencing everything that Zero lived through. For that, he also sees Ike as a little brother to him. One day Null managed to gain control over Zero's body and used his powers to create one himself since he couldn't just keep watching how Zero acted that passively. From there on, his memories are split with Zeros. Zero didn't acknowledge him as his creation. That made Null start to care less and he went onto a rampage across the multiverse, just for his own enjoyment.

Abilities

He has the same abilities as Zero. That means that Null is able to see the world in code. He can as well summon a holographic keyboard and screens. He is also aware of Zero's technique to put code changes inside a window and attach them to the desired object to apply the code, but Null prefers to use his ability to create weapons and use them in a fight.

Appearance

His appearance is similar to Zero's just that the colours changed. He wears an armless white cloak which glows purple from the inside. He copied the fingerless gloves and the shoulder plates on his right arm from Zero's design. He is also wearing the same training outfit below just with inverted colours. The streak in front of his hair is a light purple and his left eye, which is connected with his powers, is a purple ring.

Personality

Null was suffering a lot from not being able to do anything as he was caught inside Zero's body. After he freed himself, he was curious about what he could do with his powers. He also hoped to live together with Zero and Ike but Zero didn't acknowledge him. From there on he hated the original he was made of. Due to that, he tries everything to annoy Zero in any way possible. And thanks to his perseverant soul, he is always coming up with new ideas to annoy Zero. He even takes the role of the villain and starts devasting AUs just to amuse himself with Zero's reaction. On the other hand, Null does care a lot about Ike. As well as for Zero, he sees Ike as his little brother. Null wishes nothing more than to rebuild that broken relationship between them.

I like the card idea, so I just drew a couple hands holding a card from reference.

Still not sure if I should go nuts with his outfit or just keep it simple.

I'm getting into playing minecraft again 😀

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 😁

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 iron😂

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.

Currently WIP for a drawing competition I want to participate. The theme of the competition is 'villain'. I still need to figure out the background in more detail and then I can start the actual drawing (and yes, I still consider this as a sketch. Just a pretty detailed one.🤣)

I have also never been drawing this long on a single drawing (an entire week). Normally, I finish a drawing in a couple of hours or in half a day. Still got a week left to finish that thing😁.

Hi, it's me again

I am currently working on a little something which I'm not sure if I'll manage to make something out of it but I'm motivated to continue.

I wanted to maybe make a one-paged small teensy tiny comic about one of my OCs. Currently, I am still working on their designs and hopefully I'll get something done this time, but I'm confident 😁

PS: I am also currently amazed by animation again. I'll keep training a little and then I can share something with you.

(I am also trying to post more often, but let's see how that'll turn out 😂)

I loooooove how that turned out ❤️

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 😂
