I’ve improved a lot with references.

@Rae @loopylin (You’ve already seen this 🙃) @whoever I’ve done some cute Hugo sketches. This is not the final design. I might slim down his face shape a bit (as seen on the left) since he looks younger on the right. But I’m still happy with it as a YoUnG hUgO.

@theducktator

My drawings are super stylized so I don’t think I’m qualified XD But for me it helps to find a reference picture that looks much different from my normal style, and draw it/trace over it until I understand the proportions. For me the reference is anime or realism. After that, I return to my own art with a willingness to exp…[Read more]

Violet

Violet swiftly slipped the knife from Alpha’s grasp, ignoring his surprised exclamation. She held it up to her eye and stroked the blade. “Either this is an alien element, or the tech is well cloaked.”

Alpha grinned.

An incredibly soft expression remained on Violet’s face, despite the blade two millimeters from her nose. She han…[Read more]

@loopylin

Yeeessss! I was so worried it wouldn’t look as I envisioned, but I’m glad it worked out 🥰❤️

@LoOpYLin

Loops Loops I made something too!! 😀

They can be morbidly fascinated with fire together :] I was working on this weeks back, but wasn’t happy with it until now. It’s definitely a different style but I like both our versions. Hope you like it ❤️🔥

*Poofs away*

And a meme for an unknown character who is mysteriously rising from the shadows.

@keilah-h You are responsible for this

YYAAAASSSS y’all.

@rae

Lol my bad, I’m not correcting you! I’m saying a character can have an aura of seriousness and be hiding something, like you said, but they can also be completely honest if the author wants to go in that route. It’s really up to the person.

This might be more of a side thread, but it also helps to know how aware the character is of their own seriousness, and how aware they allow others to be when that seriousness pops up.

For example, the chewing-lip-denial @rae just mentioned suggests the character doesn’t know they are expressive in the first place, or it suggests the character…[Read more]

Oof that reminds me, Marcel needs a tux 😅

@rae

hehe

Violet

The girl stepped back, still reserved. “Violet. Robotics engineer and programmer. Here on a temporary scholarship trip.”

It sounds ridiculous, but this group of characters are named Rose, Violet and Daisy 🤣🤣 Creative ingenuity right there. Y’all should take notes.

@rae

Fyi she belongs to a mystery story. So she and the rest of her cast are very thorough when it comes to evidence/justice/whatever. ;]

Violet

“It means bringing you to justice for being irresponsible.” Violet raised an eyebrow, and held up the robot. “And I have the evidence to prove you guilty.”

Gage twisted its head around with a mel…[Read more]

@rae

Aw, I like little robot companions! They’re always so cute.

I redesigned her but forgot Gage existed for a while 😂 Originally he was a knockoff of Wall-e, which I won’t hold against my six-year-old self. Wall-e is an amazing movie.

Violet

Violet cocked her head. “And at how many inconvenient times have you scratched that itch?”

When the g…[Read more]

@rae

Coolsies 😛

Violet

“Gage, record.”

The robot’s eyes spun, clicking, and gazed sightlessly at the surrounding lawnscape.

“The experiment was a positive until power failed.” Violet bowed her head, hair falling over her chest. “We’ll try tomorrow. But at least, for now, we can get some key lime pie or something. Forgo any further advan…[Read more]

@esther-c @loopylin

Same thing here! I’ve been told to play sports and I’ve made… interesting attempts XD You may have been grumpy, Loops, but I’ve always been the player who was too busy watching a butterfly to notice an incoming ball.

And I mean that seriously, by the way. That exact scenario happened to me twice.
