First week of my beloved @shepscapades ’s Hermitcraft Character Design event!

for this week I chose to design my special boy bdubs as a druid for the dnd class challenge. what can i say, this man loves greenery, finding beauty in the world, horses, and i think if he had the option to blow people up with nature magic he would love that.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #Danny Phantom #dc batman #damian al ghul #damian robin #duke thomas #timothy drake #red robin #richard dick grayson #nightwing #OK U WONT BELIEVE IT BUT i literally had cover ready a month ago. as most of the sketches. #it was like the second fic i planned to draw fanart for???? #the problem came from the boys. as i have never drawn ANY OF BATBRATS i was driving myself crazy looking for refs #thank fuck for waynefamilyadv because their artstyle/designs literally saved my life?? #Fun Fact: Tim gave me the most trouble. THAT BOY HAD SO MANY OUTFITS and all are relatively?? similar and often depicted? #like nightwing had previous suits but his black/blue one is like a staple #but Timbo?? TIMTIM??? MY MAN WHAT IS YOUR LATEST TELL ME Im not a comic expert i have no idea so i just?? hoped for best lol #ok i lied i DO know the last outfit Tim has and its banging BUT I CANT DRAW IT ITS TOO HOT and its not red robin i think #Fun Fact 2: i so desperately wanted to draw Damian in his black/red robin outfit #but?? i realized its like his grown up version...like at least 16ish?? since he looks older in it in pics. sigh. so i settled for a version #of course i had to have an artcrisis in the middle of drawing all the comics because i discovered dan more comic art #HAVE U SEEN THEIR AMAZING ART COMIC GODLINESS??? their nightwing sent me spirling like holy fuk #thats why i dont look at amazing comic art it makes me both want to draw and depressed beyond measure #god im so happy i finished this batch. man i gotta go easier on myself in the next one otherwise i will get an ulcer lol #anyway. ROBINS EGG IS SUCH FUN FIC i have so many scenes i STILL wanna draw. First priority? JON AND DAMI BEING CUTE #because they are babies and i wanna try my hand in drawing jon #gotta catch up to last chapters first tho. I hope you enjoy my silly takes and fanart for ur fic Calix! #fanfic fanart

Hey Meep, Meepster, Meeperoni how do you draw scales?

I love your scales, both the prominent and far away ones. I especially love the scales on your cryptid boys.

So how do you do it?! When I try to draw scales it looks like a gravel road and just overall bad. Please share your wisdom, I beg.

In my head this turned into a bigger question than you might have intended pfjfjf, I tried my best to stay relativity simple with my answer!

Let me show you how you can think when figuring out big scales.

First I try to keep it simple and not sketch in all the scales until I've gotten the pose down.

When I start planning out scales I start with figuring out the direction of the scales and the big shapes (I usually do this in my head, but drawing it can be very useful)

Once I'm happy with the shapes and directions I start adding the scales one at a time, all overlapping each other like they're huge fish scales.

Scales don't always have to follow the same 'start at the head and run down the body' idea, you can do the opposite and get some very neat looking shapes. You can mix it up too. Here's some examples!

There are a lot of different kinds of scales and animals often have more than one kind. Some even do look like gravel!

I suggest looking at real life animals and fictional creatures for inspiration and reference. It takes a long while to learn how and where to use specific scales, but it'll be easier if you're willing to spend some time looking at and studying scales and the anatomy around them.

Some examples of animals with scales~ (names in alt text)

#AAAAAA hope this answered your question! #my brain wanted to include so much more.. but I had to cut it all down so the post wouldn't be way too long :'p #thank you for the question tho! it was fun to try and answer! #I'm not an expert when it comes to scales and anatomy. I've just spent an ungodly amount of hours drawing and looking at scales #some things just stuck X3 #asks #creature design #art tips

Behold

✨The little chain✨

The guys in order go (from right to left): sky, four, time, twilight, wind, legend, hyrule, warriors and wild.

I know some designs are more obvious than others, but I hope you all like this little doodle of the boys I made for fun.

Also, you guys have headcanons about the boys when they were little?

I have one about the hat that Time wore in his childhood was made by Saria long years before his adventure, but she inadvertently made it too big for little Time's head, so she kept it until the right time came. But little Time found it sooner than anticipated and, even if it was too big for him, he walked around proudly with his oversized hat everywhere, and no one could stop him from doing so. By the time of his adventure the cap already fit him well. To this day, he cherishes his cap very much and it brings back memories of his beloved friend. The end.

#all the boys are before their adventure #a bit obvious tho #they're in their 6-or-so y/o #Sky and Four designs are based on Jojo's #abt the others i just made them up #I have to mention that Im not an expert about the boy's past #I wasn't completely sure that Hyrule was raised by fairies #so I assumed that he was a boy who liked to play outside and was good with fairies #so yeah #they're so cute I can't #lu #linked universe #linked universe fanart #lu sky #lu four #lu time #lu twilight #lu wind #lu legend #lu hyrule #lu warriors #lu wild #my art #my artwork #artists on tumblr

a doodle of my new teardrop gjinka!! i think they turned out pretty cute :)

#dandy’s doodles #bfdi #battle for dream island #bfdi teardrop #bfdi td #bfdi gjinka #bfdi humie #bfdi human #bfdi humanized #bfdi humanization #kin #my old design for them was charming and campy but i think it was too edgy for them #like yeah td’s the hoodie type but she would wear brighter colors than that. and she’s too active to wear jeans or whatever i had her in #they’re definitely a bit of a sneakerhead… but in a practical way. they need good kicks #i’m imagining her and her newbie alliance clique in high school… #lollipop is popular and gets gelatin and td acquainted with the popular crowd but the three of them decide they all suck #lolly’s really good at math and is everyone’s crush. gelatin is addicted to his 3ds and is the life of the party. #and td is well-rounded in school subjects but an absolute expert at destroying you in gym class (she’s also on the track team with needle) #teardrop and lolly watch lesbian anime together. sometimes td gets to third-wheel when flower gets invited #all three newbie alliance members hijack the prom and play 100 gecs on the speakers #etc. i could go on

The (perhaps cursed) result of Zenos listening to Tsukiko sometimes (she has no remorse).

#ffxiv #digital art #sketch #comic #zenos yae galvus #adventurer zenos #tsukiko date #camilla lunae #nero tol scaeva #solus zos galvus #poor Zenos having to deal with the occasional moments his espionage experts share a brain cell #also the rare occasion nero and tsu existing in the same room together #they only get along sometimes and only usually if Nero is letting her help fix something #i will forever continue the trend of the idea that the more you annoy/anger Zenos #the more he'll just suddenly look like his father #mostly because Varis just makes me think of the phrase “your face will get stuck like that” but as a character design #and Tsukiko has to try so hard not to laugh every time it happens

so, what is your opinion on angels? the creepy kind?

The "Biblically accurate angels"? (eyes, wheels, and wings) Hmmm they are definitely weird, but I think they make for more interesting designs than anything else. They do look otherworldly thats 'fer sure!

I've heard the Bible actually describes Angels with many different attributes tho. Much more diverse than just "eyes with wheels and wings".

#im not a bible expert but the internet has a lot of sources on it #ask stuff #the design doesnt bother me much since Angels were never really that looked upon in my Church. Very Jesus centric rather than lore centric

Welp... here's the winner of the dress poll, you weirdos XD (says the one who not only drew this but also voted Eggman just so they could see who had the most votes) In any case, I was not expecting that to get more than fifty votes. I thought it would only get around ten, but boy was I wrong.

Anyway, holy hot damn he looks good! I had to give him a hand fan. There was simply no way I wouldn't (I drew my own hand holding a hand fan just to get it to look right). I wanted to put him in something that I thought would suit his personality, you know? A simple design wouldn't have sufficed.

The dress is somewhat inspired by this image made from Bing's AI image generator:

Apparently, this is what Eggman looks like XD

Bonus:

Looks like Bowser found himself a new princess. Man, even when Eggman wins he still loses

#I'm not an expert dress designer so if it's in poor taste that's why #I'm also bad a drawing high heels from below at different angles sorry #sonic the hedgehog #eggman #dr eggman #bowser #dress #eggman in a dress #weirdofish

oh my god oh my god oh my GODDDDDD i can’t BELIEVE i found these on my little rainy october thrift shop wander this morning. like, one would have been more MORE enough. but both?? at once??? i am quite simply floating and may never touch back down to earth

#obviously given that it was second hand i don’t know if alex’s autograph is legit #but from my (untrained and overly hopeful) eye it looks very much like it could be??? #anyone who’s more expert in these things feel free to weigh in!! #and the photo book #aghhhhhhhhh #i have been wanting to get my hands on a copy for AGES #there’s something so special and atmospheric about matt’s photography that i’m just obsessed with #and to be able to actually look at them in physicality all together like that is truly something else #i also love that it’s designed like a passport obviously because of the whole album concept #but also because it truly does feel like a little glimpse into their world when they were making it #god what am i meant to do with the rest of my day after this??? 😭 #(put the humbug album on and look through the photo book of course. and maybe even a little fic writing if my heart rate slows enough) #god bless whoever donated these and whatever luck allowed me to find them today 💜💜💜 #i was in need of a bit of a pick me up and by god did this go above and beyond #sorry for how nonsensical all of this has probably been #i’m just #i’m feeling a lot rn 😭 #arctic monkeys #alex turner #lulu posts

imo only thinking about whether a design looks cool without taking the characters traits or anything else into consideration can make it feel....impersonal ig? Which obv makes sense for /some/ characters but...if you want a character that feels real I think part of that is making them look and act like an actual person ykwim? Basically for the most part you shouldn't just go by whether a design "looks cool" Idt..

But on the other hand being too restrained with whether a design is grounded in reality can make it way too boring😅

Basically. Try to balance the two instead of leaning super far into one or the other..

#character design thoughts #<-trying to write mine down more since ppl wanted to know ... #Keep in mind that this stuff definitely fluctuates in importance depending on the character too! #...also that I'm. Not an expert these are just what I personally try to keep in mind...

How drunk do you think Crosshair and Hunter were when they got their tattoos, and did they come up with the tattoos for each other?

#partially thinking this because #crosshair’s tattoo really is good character design #but isn’t it kind of funny #that an expert marksman has the sights as a tattoo? #star wars #the bad batch #tbb

Happy Pride Month and (very belated) Solarpunk Aesthetic Week! I wanted to redesign my longtime OCs, so I decided to give them a thematic twist!

Self-indulgent details about their designs under the cut:

⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻

From left to right:

Mia Based on the romantic/cottagecore style, and incorporating aspects of Eastern/Central European folk dresses, such as the Czech kroj. Her vest is made from recycled overalls and excess fabric from her apron. Her natural motif is fungi -- her bow and earrings are amanita mushrooms (if you squint, her skirt looks like one too), and the frills on her collar + sleeves are chanterelles!

Clyde He's a bohemian kinda guy, so I kept his silhouette relaxed and unstructured + harem pants + accessories. The exception is his jacket, a union of 3 different garments made to loosely resemble traditional Indian clothing like the achkan. His natural motif is the sun - hence the warm tones, which is contrasted with splashes of teal, the colour of his aura (its a fictional superpower thing).

Glace His style is more preppy/academia - turtlenecks and sweaters are his type, so I gave him 3! Sewn together in a visible mending-esque style (inspired by tumblr solarpunks and their fashion projects)! His palette is taken from the mlm flag, and there's subtle elements of a Korean hanbok - his collar, sleeve shape, sash and tassel. Rips in his pants are covered by cloud patches (his motif), all dyed to match the aesthetic!

Simmer Her thing is streetwear with a cultural twist - her top combines a bomber jacket and a Chinese qipao/cheongsam. Her detachable sleeves are extended via sewn-on zippers (useful as her powers generate a lot of heat)! Her motif is the phoenix, with patterns on her shirt and collar, hand-decorated using the batik method. Her hair streaks are inspired by stripes on a tiger - Malaysia's national animal.

Axis She's all about the y2k aesthetic, with translucent tights and a hoodie stylishly revamped to form a super crop top + a figure-hugging bodysuit. Her design is inspired by indigenous Andean fashion, such as the Ecuadorian pollera, which her skirt might be repurposed from. Her motif is butterflies, as seen in her earrings, the shape of her bodysuit, and the wing-like curves of her skirt.

Piper Initially wanted a punk-ish vibe for him but he might be a bit too cute now oops! His jacket is a mashup of 3 different pieces, and his jeans are a patchwork of denim. He's got iconic looks from French fashion (beret and scarf), as well as some African designs (the vertical pattern I referenced looked like plant cells, but also like binary code? I thought it was so on theme)! His motif is obviously plants of all types!

⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻

Thank you for checking this out (especially if you got this far)!!! ♡♡♡
