Getting to know my new character 👀

[thedustyleaves]

Made a character for an rp group a friend of mine has created! I haven't been in one for years, it feels very nostalgic to join one again ❤️

Background lineart left! It's taking ages because I only have a few hours every other evening to work on it

Lineart (and gremlin) WIP!

#WIP #sketches

[thedustyleaves]

have you ever spoken about how you decide on your outline colors? i notice you use multiple that sometimes change within the same character. adore your art, by the way! the skill! i just want to... idk, eat it, it's so bouncy and welcoming

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say! :')

I select a color close to the line I want to fill and manually darken it by a few shades. It softens the overall feel of the line art and is a neat way to add details, such as for the eyes and eyebrows, so they're not just black blobs.

I only colour line art that's within a shape and leave the outermost outline of a character alone. Typically, I refrain from adjusting the line art in shaded areas as well, as the color will be so close to black anyway so there's no point in changing it hah.

So for this one, these are the areas where I coloured the lineart!

And bon appétit

Finally drawing again <3

I just realised that I’m poor and I should be asking for art trades more than commissions :’)) SO if anyone is up for that, let me know! 🙏 doesn’t have to be something hugely detailed and in colour or whatever, I’m very much down for sketch trades as well ❤️

If you or someone you know is accepting commissions or art trades, please link meeee ✨

The end of vol 2 ❤️

I'll be going on a hiatus now to finish all of vol 3, so I don't have to constantly play catch-up each week! Thank you everyone for following along, it means the world to me. I hope you will wait for me to finish the next part of the story, as I'm very excited to tell it! :')

It’s Norse mythology! I’m Danish so it’s a part of my heritage :)

It’s Yggdrasil surrounded by the stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór. There’s Nidhug(or Níðhöggr) at the bottom, Huginn and Muninn flying away at the top and into the sky, and Jörmungandr surrounding the whole thing. I didn’t include the squirrel and eagle tho. There’s also a reference to God of War ✨

#It’s a great conversation starter at work haha #mostly with the older generation actually like plus 60 who recognises it!
