Hi I'm Kay and I fucking hate drawing skeletons from behind

Context: This is homework for my life drawing class. We were given a printout of a skeleton from front, 3/4, side, and rear view. The first page is 3-minute gesture drawings of each view, then the next two pages are 15 minutes each.

#traditional art #skeletons #idk i haven't posted anything here in months & i'm also on my way to class now #so i might tag this better later

With the power of Blender and Youtube, I made a donut

#idek what to tag this #my first foray into digital 3d art #unfortunately the guy who made the video tutorial series also does n/f/t stuff #but at least the videos helped me start to get familiar with blender

Hello I am alive. I haven't really drawn much since August due to BG3 brainrot (and this month I've been learning how to mod the game) but this morning my brain decided I wasn't allowed to look at computer screens so I did a little sketch of Shel. She was originally supposed to be like a miniboss for a friend's campaign but it never happened so I ended up making her in BG3.

#sketch #original character #original art #I haven't even drawn on paper in AGES #my headache seems to be gone now so I'm debating whether I want to try to finish that Blender tutorial or just sketch some more #anyway. playing Shel is fun because she has a superiority complex & zero empathy (disclaimer that lack of empathy does not make a person- #-selfish or evil) since in my main file I'm using my persona so there I'm trying to be nice & helpful to everyone #in Shel's file I get to see different content & whatnot. although I got trapped in the back room of the grove for a hot minute bc Nettie- #-attacked us & we killed her & I forgot I could use her “key of the ancients” to open the doors & get back out #act 3 features plot stuff similar to her story in the campaign so idk maybe she'll accuse [redacted] of copying her lord's plan lol #although i haven't decided if her backstory from the campaign is “canon” for her in bg3 & she just got kidnapped & stuck in Faerûn #OR to adapt it so she's from Baldur's Gate & has just been doing her shady experiments on her own under the radar

This is Bastille although my brain keeps wanting to call her Tav, idk maybe I'll call her "Tav Bastille" and she's an outlander, asmodeus tiefling (I might change it to mephistopheles though), and warlock of The Great Old One.

At the moment, I'm thinking that she made the pact when she was a little kid & didn't really know what she was doing & just kinda went on with her life & forgot about it (aside from her weird dreams but she got used to those)... until getting abducted by mindflayers & whatnot.

She worries a lot & is generally pretty nice... which is why no one expects her to be such a great liar.

#sketch #bastille #bg3 tav #according to steam i've got like 9 hours of playtime on this game but about 7 of those hours was just loading time #bc my laptop is old & can't handle the game #kept freezing/crashing #the farthest i got was finishing designing the guardian & then it crashed & i gave up #i intend to finally set up my desktop this week though #kinda wanna change her hair too. i intend to download some character creation mods when i get the desktop set up.

Sometimes a guy feels like being a girl

(Anubis is usually more masc presenting, but sometimes he likes to shake things up... and sometimes that involves stealing Cadmus's clothes)

Also click to enlarge bc I didn't use any gray; that shading is pure black & white dithering! :3

Another "Heart Mechanism" character, Moyen Foliot. Not much is known about her, but she is VERY protective of her little sister, Clepsydra.

#digital art #original character #steampunk #original art #moyen foliot #heart mechanism #i actually had most of this ref done just a couple days after Elise. i only just today did the side view & background lol #fun fact: moyen is immortal & also is the mythical knight Mesiva #also i recycled her from an old fantroll dancestor

[perseidipity]

Revamping an old steampunk story I made in high school called "Heart Mechanism", so here's the protagonist, Elise Thackerey!

She works as a missing persons investigator & is super detail oriented (her keen eye comes in handy for work, but hinders any attempts at having a social life). At her therapist's recommendation, she started making & collecting fancy keys as a hobby and adopted a cat named Lattice.

The deuteragonist/Elise's love-interest is David Baskerville, who happens to be color blind (tritanopic), so I put the reference sheet through pilestone.com's colorblind simulator to get how David would see her (the left image). I also took the colors from a tritanopia color gradient to play around with, resulting in the image on the right which I like a lot. I really need to play around with different color palettes more,,,,

#digital art #original character #steampunk #original art #elise thackerey #revamping an old steampunk story to cope with Soulwinder getting canceled :'( #i had started reading it in the first place bc it reminded me of Heart Mechanism #especially since Elise has “red” (ginger) hair with light tips. & Lyllian has red hair with a white streak #and how I originally imagined David is like a cross between Valent & Cayden #anyway time to go figure out how I want to redesign David #heart mechanism

What if Arias's hoodie was a sleeveless crop top? 🤔

The thing about dithering though is that on a larger canvas, it can look weird :/

Detail shot because I really like how the shading turned out close up :3

#digital art #pixel art #original character #original art #arias #maybe i should stick with the cel shading for pixel art instead of dithering...

99% of my energy today went into that little headshot so this isn't very polished at all,,,,

An Iron Moth series android named IM-437, also known as Ferris.

Like most IM series, their wings can fold into the triangle on their back to take up less space, and are made to be laboratory assistants who observe their given subjects & analyze data. Ferris was a relatively new android & had just received their first assignment when Turo's time machine captured them. The travel back in time corrupted Ferris's short-term memory bank however, leaving them nearly in the same state as when they had first been activated.

A more casual Horologian, and a more human look. They don't like being forced to look human, but sometimes it is necessary.

#digital art #original character #original art #the horologian

[perseidipity]

Went and shaded this :3

#digital art #original character #original art #the horologian #the original design file was getting quite big so i had to copy onto a new file so i could shade without it lagging lol

[perseidipity]

An alternate design for my sona! The little stars connected by chains are vaguely in the shape of the constellation Horologium (I originally thought of it while working on the default design but having both this and the pocket watch choker would not have worked out, so I moved it to the Starwinder form!)

#digital art #sketch #sona #original character #original art #The Horologian #don't ask me why i've made “simplified” versions of my sona designs bc idk. i just felt like it

[perseidipity]

What if I made a sona to use instead of drawing myself haha jk... unless?

I had a lot of trouble figure out what I wanted The Horologian to look like (in part bc I am generally content with how my body looks & enjoy drawing myself).

The first version had more of a starry purple theme going on but it didn't feel like *me*. Then I remembered that I love very simple black/white with an accent color (usually gold) color palettes, and had the pocket watch choker idea.

I'm not typically very chatty in social situations, so removing the mouth felt right, and in place of the halo from the first design I liked the idea of a witch hat where the underside of the brim had a clock dial.

Given how much work I put into the first version I haven't *completely* abandoned it; I've been thinking that The Horologian can shapeshift (given how indecisive I am), so I worked on that a little bit & am calling that version the "Starwinder Form" (yes the name was inspired by the webtoon Soulwinder, I just thought it was appropriate since that design has a more starry theme). I've got a post with that design scheduled to post later today.

Maybe one day when I set up my desktop computer, I'll download Blender & try to make The Horologian in there so I can be a Vtuber lol

A lil Arias drawing because I've been missing her lately & decided to toss her into the Paradoxverse

#digital art #sketch #original character #original art #arias #damn she looks much paler on my phone compared to on my tablet :/ #anyway this is a cropped screenshot bc there's a couple smaller arias doodles on this canvas #& i didn't feel like copying into a new canvas

After seeing multiple other Q wearing Starfleet uniforms, Q feels a little left out and makes her own. As usual though, she has to make it her own style

Also, I decided to give them a name: Qadria. They only use it for the sake of not confusing mortal beings; surprising, since they're typically apathetic to what mortals think (or perhaps she cares more about others' opinions of her than she lets on...)

#digital art #star trek oc #fan character #q #qadria #i keep wanting to call her Qadira but it sounds too similar to my d&d character Qelira. so Qadria it is #this was heavily influenced by a photoshoot thing i saw on my dash earlier #especially the boob window #anyway. i need to draw her in more funky outfits

[perseidipity]

Revenge attack on @dustydahorse's Quintessa (featuring my Q as well; I thought an outfit swap would be fun :3)

Also an alternate color version (mostly because I don't think pink really suits my Q; I ought to draw her in her own version of a Starfleet uniform though)

#art fight #art fight 2023 #digital art #@dustydahorse #part of me was like “is it cheating/rude to include my own OC in a revenge attack?” but i really liked this idea #I think Quintessa would be a good influence on Q. like many Q she tends to act all high & mighty & will say mean/rude things without- #-thinking anything of it but being around Quintessa would probably get her to tone it down & be a little nicer. a little less sadistic #also re: the actual drawing I feel like Quintessa doesn't quite look like herself but I spent at least an hour just adjusting her face/hair #maybe it's just because of our differing art styles #regardless fluffy hair is always fun to draw :3

[perseidipity]

I've got a bunch of revenge attacks to do, but I'm tired and felt like drawing @thatscottster24's Leia instead lol

#art fight 2023 #art fight #digital art #@thatscottster24 #i'm a sucker for freckled characters lol #also fun fact: i kinda drew this with the canvas sitting diagonally. so i had to take a screenshot & crop that #because rotating the layers messed with the lines :( #one of the downsides of using pixel art brushes: rotating kinda ruins it :(
