Chestnut, my beloved. Here's a bonus icon plus proof for why having sketch layers/warming up your hand is super important:

When reading books/listening to podcasts I don't really visualize characters (even if they've been physically described) so I have trouble designing characters . I don't *see* the characters I just *know* their presence when they talk, if that makes sense. The problem with this is that if I try to visual them then my brain will randomly pick a random character from any visual media I've consumed and assign it to them.

So when I hear John, my brain went: "Crabby deep-voiced divorcee? DJ Octavio from Splatoon." Which in retrospect is funny considering that they're both "kings" in some sense of the word...

Meet Tritium the Trubbish! I thought her up at work (a science lab that handles radioactive materials). Most of her design elements are based on the contact trash from around the lab although her feet are made up of my spare pair of steel toe boots that I keep under my desk, making her poison/steel type.

Updated Tantei's design a bit so that I'd have more on my art fight profile.

Day 1 vs Day 1220.  Just a warmup sketch while I finish up a commission I owe someone.  I like to think that Minkowski looks super crisp and pristine at the start of the mission and gets more untamed as her character (/the situation) develops.  Whoever made that post saying “Minkowski but graying hair” is absolutely galaxy-brained, btw.

I think Minkowski would still keep her hair in a ponytail even when it would get longer but I really wanted to show it floating in zero gravity.  And yes she would have MASSIVE bags under eyes by the end of the show; the look is absolutely necessary.  It’s a bit heavy-handed here (again, just a warmup sketch!) but I I think it really adds to her 1220 days of pure, completely justified contempt towards Goddard Futuristics.

Low quality doodle made during my lunch break because I am absolutely losing my mind over the "Mario getting impaled" visual gag.

Those Pokemon sprite mixer sites make for good mindless practice doodles.

I needed to get this done for a time-sensitive reason so honestly I’m surprised that it turned out so well.  I’ve improved quite a bit since my last Octavio picture ^^; He’s just a ton of fun to draw so I’ve been doodling him a lot in notebooks that I don’t publish online.

*Slips Nintendo a $20* Please give him a fun role in Splatoon 3 he’s such a funky dude I love him.

Needed to whip this up quickly so it’s not too bad for a 2 hour picture, though I used the same coloring style (and similar palette) for the background in my Void Termina picture recently so it kind of feels like cheating a bit.

Regardless, here’s my 2020 rendition of Babble, my own original creation.

Ai no Uta (Character Challenge 5/100)

I forgot how much I loved Pikmin until I started making this.  Time for sad boi Pikmin hours.

Lyrics are a translation of the 2nd verse of Ai no Uta.

Day 3/100 of my 100 character challenge.  I really wish I had more time to work on this.  Alas, that’s kind of the point of the exercise :|
