I'm so in love with everything about your art!! I wanted to ask something about your MLP human designs in particular. all of them have really lovely and interesting face shapes/details. even though all the pony designs have the same head molds (save for eye shape), all the unique characteristics you gave them just... look RIGHT. is there a particular method or design principle you used? thanks for your time!! I can't wait to see more of your work!

It's all about shape language and how they inform a person's read on the character.

I talked about this before, but each of the Main 6 were paired together so I could design them in contrast with each other. For RD, I wanted her short hair to have a wind-swept look, as if she's constantly running. So bare forehead and hair spiking out at the bottom. She contains lots and lots of sharp lines and shapes to give her the look of a speeding arrow.

Felice, on the other hand, droops down a lot to reflect her solemn, shy disposition. I didn't want her hair to be perfectly straight though, as that'd suggest she spends a lot of time fretting over it and isn't outdoorsy, so I made it a bit of a tangled mess too.

In short, RD's features are sharp and point upwards, Felice's features are round and droop downwards. (Think Joshua tree vs. weeping willow.)

For these two, I specifically wanted to include non-Western facial features, as I found I haven't really included them in my character designs up until now.

Pinkie's bold and loud, so I gave her bold eyes, bold eyebrows, a bold nose, etc. I worked on Thea's nose for quite a bit and ended up abstracting the shape a bit to look more cartoony, borrowing from Pixar's Soul's character design notes. In cases like these, I recommend finding ways to simplify features and break them down into easily-recognizable shapes and forms (Cartoon Saloon are masters at this). The less visual noise, the easier their expressions are to read! And it's generally more fun to draw.

In short, diversify, exaggerate, and simplify. Figure out what works for you and get a little wacky with it. Character design is all about finding a balance between maintaining your voice and vision and creating something unique and lively.

#ask me #anon #long post #i would recommend studying character design sheets too #my personal favorites are by cartoon saloon/ami thompson/anything from disney and pixar #you can learn a lot about how to draw specific eye shapes and facial structures and hair styles #and how all these features squash and stretch for different emotions #ask yourself: do you know how to draw someone with a very high cheekbone? how about someone with a lot of cheek/neck fat? #then ask yourself how these differences in features reflect on the character #facial structures especially are something i see a lot of beginner artists struggle with

I keep seeing the odd post here and there mentioning that Ballister Blackheart is white in the Nimona comic and it hurts my heart a little each time I see somebody say that bc he’s actually not! Ballister Blackheart is canonically Asian in the comic, he is East Asian and simply has light skin.

I just find it saddening and wrong (granted I’m white myself so maybe it’s not my place to have an opinion on) to erase a character who is canonically a poc just because they have light skin :/

This is not a diss to people who didn’t know or people that were mistaken, that’s sort of the reason I’m making this post, so more people can know the truth rather than be misinformed or assume incorrectly.

(Context of the photo attached is that it is from a QnA Nate did on the Nimona comic years ago)

Edit: added alt text of everything written in the photo

#ig ppl default to the idea that a character who had an ethnicity change resulting in them being a poc means they were originally white #and not possibly a different ethnicity that is also nonwhite #but ballister has always been Asian #his ethnicity was just changed so he is East Asian in the comic and South Asian in the movie #(most likely to better resemble his va riz ahmed who is Pakistani) #ig ppl see movie ballister who has darker skin and then assume comic ballister with lighter skin is white #also possibly bc ethnic features are more obscured with the simpler comic artstyle #there were points in the book where he was paper light so I understand the assumption to some extent ig #but there’s still something so…. weird abt assuming that he’s white since some poc have lighter skin #also the more recent the art you can see nates style better develop his skin tone #nimona #nimona movie #nimona comic #nimona book #nimona graphic novel #ballister blackheart #ballister boldheart #nimona ballister #nd stevenson #nate stevenson #when will my boy beat the white allegations #also lmk if you think anything I’ve said is out of line lol I was debating even posting abt this bc it’s not really my conversation #also pls read the graphic novel if you haven’t already it’s so good !! ok gn

this moment really reminded me of my tav <3 dialogue is from the video "turning random lines of action into characters" by Drawfee Show on youtube, modified a bit to be more british lol

+ bonus

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 tav #astarion #karlach #astarion x tav #BARELY. so im sorry to tag it but personally im someone who heavily relies on the blacklist feature so i feel like i need to just in case #i put the last one as a bonus bc yes its in a different style but also 1. its so ooc bc im pretty sure astarion hates puns #and 2. bc it has a line thats not from the video. its just a bit of fun 💖 #this moment from the video is one of my fave clips everrr so i had to draw this #but theyre in the void with flat lighting bc i had a lot of difficulties drawing these hfkfjdjfkfk #i hope i somewhat conveyed my tavs smug little face in the bonus drawing LMAO #i literally miss him so much ;____;

rip to bruce but if i fumbled her i would literally kill myself

#wrote this caption before trying to figure out if the artist intended for this to be a qipao or not #settled on the fact that he did (the mandarin collar sealed it) and spent 2 hour reading a brief history of them #and terminology to try and make an accurate ID but my 'ohmygof she's so fucking hot' got QUICKLY replaced with anger #like in 1930 Shanghai there were so many designs that did feature more form fitting fabric & high side slits #theres so many general gorgeous designs with the elaborate pankous and embroidery and beading that you could of taken inspiration from #and you make it more or less a unitard. you go hm close enough just to sexualize her further #like yeah she's gorgeous my caption stands but the disrespect and disregard is so... you know. #anyways. messy little ramble over. if im bruce wayne im killing myself and also thepankou(.)com has really beginner friendly posts talking #about the history of them & different (general) region styles & the use of qipaos in different media and exhibits. also a GORGEOUS wardrobe #crypt's panels #talia al ghul

starflung's 2023 advent 1/8 🔔 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 🔔 for advent this year, i'm doing a series of silly little kirby themed stickers as gifts for my partner!

there are 24 in total, though i may not post all of them (some are just silly). but i figure with only ten days to go until the 🎄Big Event🎄 i'll share a few to count down! to start with here's a batch of the little guy himself!

#also featuring my headcanon that kirby is santa. #no i'm not joking and i'll (hopefully have time to) convince you on this later 🎶 #these are stickers so they're different to my usual style but you might recognise it from the little ones i posted of starstruck earlier! #i might also release the whole set at the end as free printables? if folks would like that? lmk. #my art #kirby

[stealingpotatoes]

you are like hella fucking cool. yea sure your faces might follow the same blueprint at times but the way you execute other people asks into art and yet draw your own stuff with that unique charm is just admirable. absolutely gorgeous. i hope you do well in any endeavor you might partake. also that potato you have as ur icon is fucking cute. the colour palettes slap, they are cute and light and fit ur vibe perfectly. anyway keep doing ur thing ur good at it.

AHH omg thank you so much!!!!!!!!! this is so sweet I need to lie down on the floor for a bit I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE MY STUFF,,, i don't even rlly know what to say back this is so specific and lovely!!! here have this 3d version of Little Potato Bastard Man i did a few months ago

#face diversity in my comic style is smthn i ought to work on lolll #its ok u dont have to sugar coat it with at times. i KNOW i forget to change ppl's face shape a solid 85% of the time <3 #its not same face syndrome bc that implies i'm actively trying to make the faces look different LOL #im mainly focusing on the expression and defining design features so everyone's face gets pretty similar pretty quick #anyway i feel like my best reply is 'i am being Perceived and very flattered by it' #thanks for the ask! #⋆

thinking about link post-calamity finding comfort in hanging out in gerudo town in his disguise because nobody knows who he is there. instead of being Link, the Hero of Hyrule, he’s just Link, the quirky little hylian vai who runs around buying all the fruit and arrows and keeps trying to convince furosa to finally let her order a noble pursuit from the canteen. but he also surprisingly finds comfort in wearing his lil outfit for other reasons…

#botw #totk #botw link #totk link #femboy link!!! #genderqueer link!!!! #once zelda discovers he had to wear the disguise and eventually that he actually kind of likes it #she teaches him to braid his hair in some of the various styles she does #sometimes even when he presents more masc for his knightly duties he starts putting some lil braids in to keep his hair up while he fights #it’s pretty and practical! #or sometimes he’ll wear some jeweled earrings instead of his inconspicuous little hoops #they’re pretty but also provide element resistance! #PS zelda thinks he looks super hot in both the desert voe armor and the vai outfit #but it different ways #she is queerly attracted to her pretty lil knight #zelink #gerudo link #riju will also do his hair and give him accessories to try on when he visits #her clothes are too small for him #she tries to do gerudo eyeliner on him and zelda but it’s a little too intense for their softer hylian features #buliara walks in bcuz she only gratingly approves of riju inviting both zelda AND link in her quarters #and realizes…they’re all just having fun :) #and also if you don’t mind my input my lady the color of the sarong you were gifted 4 moons ago would suit the little voe much better
