The Sky Shifters - Blog Posts
Happy pride month! Here’s some of my LGBTQ+ characters in the palette of their flags 🏳️🌈
This is a band from my Sky Shifters story called Punks ‘N Sweets. Their music is an unholy combo of bubblegum pop and punk rock, and it is fronted by a Latina lesbian couple.
(While this is a redraw, I never uploaded the original online)
The sketchdump continues!
Luna in her spy outfit.
This is my final for color design last semester. We had the option of using a specific artist's use of color, and I chose @gigidigi , especially her work with Cucumber Quest. She my favorite comic creator, so I thought, 'what would be better than a comic?' I used two of her techniques: simultaneous contrast based on emotion, and character motifs. I wanted to further challenge myself by having a rainbow gradient and no dialogue. As a result, the story and art are very simple.
(Go here for a less compressed version)
Foreshortening practice that somehow turned into Misty. I only have two more weeks of this semester left, so I should be back to my normal schedule soon.
Shift’s design has changed within the last two years, so I figured it was time I painted her again.
Happy Valentine’s day! Here’s a canon couple from the sequel.
I'm thinking of some new design ideas for the 22 year old version of Luna.
A quick painting of Violet.
Sequel girls aesthetic switch.
I’m sorry for the lack of updates. College is destroying me, but here’s a double update to make up for it.
Here's some thumbnail sketches! The bottom three use color palettes from this.
Friendly reminder: I'm trash
(I went with that version of the Ravenclaw colors because it matched Violet's colors better.)
To end the sketchdump: Some assorted sketches of Scarlet.
Almost done with the sketchdump!
Shift and Luna with alt clothes and hair??
Another from the sketchdump: Lantana face paint! Each one represents a different type of magic.
Here's a painting I did when it was still technically winter, before my tablet got messed up. I wanted to paint the orange winter skies.
Help, I'm coming up with a sequel before I actually make the first story.
My female characters at 22 instead of fourteen. (I’m coming up with ideas for their futures.) I wanted to clean it up more, but I ran out of time because I started like five new drawings.
Rebels.
Also, reminder that I got a reblog blog!
Just a cute, quick painting of Luna. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
I forgot I made this because I was unhappy with the hair, but I have nothing else to post, so, whatever. The fire girl's hair was based on a picture I saw on tumblr that I wasn't able to find again, so i couldn't use it as reference. I did braids on the other girl because I found a great new tutorial, but I mad them too big on accident... whoops.
I can’t stop drawing this fungus child.
Her name is Barria, and she is one of my four antagonists.
Also, it’s transparent!
Lantana fashion subcultures 3/8: Extreme Lantana.
Extreme Lantana can range from this, straight up zentangles, or paint used in a way to make people look like living art.
She's using her air powers to push herself off of the railing. Don't worry. She's fine.
Lantana fashion subcultures 2/8: Futuristic Lantana. Drown out the sound of the city.
Double update today!
This is excluding the female leaders of countries because they have a much more complicated relationship with defining how feminine they are. I also excluded all biological mothers besides Lily. Also I ran out of room.
(Also I heard this was international women's day so this fits.)
So, I came up with about eight Lantana fashion subcultures, and I'm starting with the weirdest one. Many of these, like this one, are reactions to typical Lantana culture.
This is called Pure Lantana. In this, people take parts of themselves usually seen as ugly and make them match with the rest of their style. For example, instead of hiding stretch marks, people paint over them with face paint. Instead of shaving their legs, women dye their leg hair to match the hair on their head.
I realized that I haven't drawn enough guys with Lantana fashion.
Here's a dramatically sized down version of a painting I did for illustration/manga class. It's of one of my newest characters, Mica Mineral, in her formal clothes. She is Echo's best friend, and she is mtf transgender.
Part five of the Lantana fashion and thought bubbles series.
