Character Design - Blog Posts

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

:DDDDD

Headshot Commission!

This character is designed and owned by @aposterous ! It was a pleasure to draw their OC ^^

4 more slots for this style of headshots open! As well as 5 of my other style (SandWing banner) and 1 fullbody slot for each style! Let me know if you're interested ^^

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

may or may not be making an alternative sona

Welcome to my art, where I only draw refs for characters I never use. Today’s instalment is Void, a character who used to have a purpose (and might again someday), but is currently just a cool design I have.

As their latest lore goes, Void is the spirit of death. They don’t do any of the soul collecting, though. They’re more of a shepherd. They oversee an army of little grim reaper creatures who bring the souls back to the afterlife, where Void tends to them. Void’s gender is ambiguous because they never speak out loud, and they have no obvious physical traits to identify biological sex. They don’t care what people call them, so people just pick whatever works.

This character has sort of been slotted into an idea I had that, in a dream scenario, would be some kind of game. Imagine Creatures of Sonaria but the survival aspects are better. Of course, I lack the motivation and skill to make that idle dream a reality, so it’ll probably never happen. In this hypothetical game, Void would be an NPC that you can do missions for.

Anyway, I’d write more (is it weird to make descriptions long on Tumblr?) but it’s almost midnight and I’m. So tired. See you guys (all 18 of you, wow) tomorrow. If things go to plan, I’ll be posting again on Jan 1st because I do a yearly redraw on New Year’s Eve/Day. I’m excited to work on it. I feel like I’ve improved a lot with my scene art this year, and unless I get lazy I'll probably try to paint it so that might turn out cool. Ok bye

Oc designs while we wait!

Forgotten tiger god and his little worshiper he watches over<3

So I have a character design Dilemma

Symbiote/Vigilante Izuku AU Concept Art

DAMMMMMM HEY GUYS

Uhhhh I mean it's not exactly my usual fanart ur used to seeing here.....

BUT I NEED TO DUMP MY NEW SONA ART SOMEWHERE OKAY

I'll just leave it here

🤲

Nice to meet you ig??? If you associated me with just himiko you can associate me with this silly imp yay...

I may or may not have been obsessed with her design and it's so personal like I literally gave her my pjs and it's so symbolic and I'll scream here a bit

AAAAAAAAAAA

if you wanted to make fanart for me (I doubt it but just in case) she's yours to work with I guess

Lmao

I'm soooooo embarrassed grrrrrrr

I promised and I did it

I call this ✨strawberry Ochako✨

Not perfect, but I tried to make it practical (I just wanted to give Ocha some cool pants)

(my rambling about the og design which started it all)

Special thanks to @lily-claw, your input was major here haha (maybe that's why I've stolen the "KILL WITH MY KNEES" idea y'know XD)

And these are with the massage points if any of you are curious

Working... workingworkingworking aaaaaaa

I promised ochas redesign, but it's so harddddd

none of these seemed to work so the end result is gonna be completely different

thoughts on Ochako's hero costume design

her character was clearly intended to be heavily astronaut-inspired. she loves astronomy, her quirk resembles open space, but the only thing that gives me vibes from her hero suit is the HELMET which wasn't even shown very often before they got rid of it entirely

and just imagine if her suit was really after an astronaut's, it'd give so much to her shape language, even more bubbly and round and more Uraraka, we deserve it guys!

but Hori decided that giving her a sexy look (gross, can we talk about sexualizing minors again?) was more important than making the design work better

Do you guys like magical girls???

Here’s some magical girls for you!!! ✨

My Roller skating magical girls story projects for my character design class!! I had a lot of fun plus these are very cute so I might continue developing some more plot for them!!🩷

I love your artstyle!

Can’t wait for more 🥰

GUYS IM STILL A TWEWY FAN I PROMISE

I did a bunch of sprite edits for an au I'm working on but I was waiting til I did some writing for it to actually post but I'm taking forever to do so lol....

so anyways it's a simple roleswap au! the swaps being neku<>josh beat<>shiki and rhyme<>eri (and ofc the rest of the cast I haven't drawn yet... minamimoto and hanekoma swap will be real... )

the general premise is that all of their personalities and entrance fees are the same, their characters just would be written differently in accordance to their roles and positions in the story

I'll post the full sprites when I get the writing done <3

I have been very absent, why you may ask? Well the truth is that I forgot Tumblr existed.

Anyway, I deleted all my old posts so here ya go, starting fresh with this little thing I made a bit ago, I want to focus more on my art.

Stay tuned I’ll be posting a bit more now

Nya-Ok, I reeeeealy think Touya/Dabi has a Gummy smile/Overbite, or Something! Going on with his mouth.

I noticed in a video his gums kept showing a lot when he spoke and stuff and this interested me and I looked in to it and noticed, Yeah He Shows His Gums A Lot, especially when he’s having a manic Episode or just high emotions (Maby because he can’t cry? which is what he seems to have done a lot with strong emotions as a kid, or Maby it’s just exaggerated expressions and he needed some other way to express his emotions because he can’t cry)

In The pictures it eather show his gums or his top lip going up a lot, and (again) yes his facial expressions are exaggerated, and yeah some of these are the same scean and/or scenes close together but still. It’s interesting at least Also it seems to be more prominent in the manga, which tends to look way better detail wise and stuff (I love both anime and manga tho theirs both beautiful in their own way)

(the last picture in the line up is what makes me think of an overbite specifically, theres just something about how it looks)(. . . Also, I Hate that picture. . .)

now what I’d like to note is many things can cause a gummy smile, one of which is a hyperactive upper lip, another is overbite, genetics, medication, and other such things as well.

the hyperactive upper lip is interesting to me because he’s got burns on the lower half of his face/jaw which would probably have severe nerve damage, wall the description of this is actually having stronger muscles in the upper lip, or it’s where the upper lip moves excessively when smiling and such, revealing more gum tissue. I just think that bits interesting because of his burns. . . . .(does that even make since? . . .)

theres another thing I’d like to note as well

The face he makes here, it’s kinda like a pout but not, I have a gummy smile and I tend to make similar faces a lot . . . .just something I wanted to note, baby Touya along with the other todo babies made a similar face to (he’s so cute when he makes that face)

other photos:

(That face is Adorable, Especially when paired with his Japanese laugh)

Enji also makes a similar face, which makes me think I’m rong about all’a this and it’s just some face

All-en-all he seems to have something going on with his upper lip, and I’d say going off of the face him and his siblings made as little kids it may have been an overbite that never got corrected, especially since he was assumed dead in his teens which is when you’d typically get braces which can help correct such a thing, or it could a hyperboile upper lip because it seems to go up a lot even if it’s not showing his gums, eather way, I love gummy smile Touya. . .he’s cute. . .and insane. . . . I wrote all of this for fun, feel free to make a counter argument or whatever, I’d like to hear other opinions! (but be nice about it!), I thought it was a neat and kinda cute detail and I wanted to touch on/share it!. . . . But seriously it’s probably just his exaggerated expressions due to his manic episodes and such. . . . (Bakugo and Enji doing a similar thing helps that honestly. . .)

also this was my first time making an analysis(-ish) thing and actually DOING Somthing with it! I had fun! And I love making this type stuff! I also enjoy seeing all these pictures of Touya in one spot he’s so cute :> also sorry I repeated myself so much!

. . . .I do kinda get the feeling I’m completely rong and no one else sees this tho. . . Someone tell me I’m not entirely rong

@foundouthatdabiistouyatodoroki it’s not good, awful really but it was fun at least :>

Tom Nook is a part of my list to design

I really see him as a brown skinned plus sized male now this is just a concept seeing what I can do with everything but please watch out for a video coming out soon about this

Well then it's decided, I will be doing Hollow Knight for my next Fandom, though it will still be sort of small
