Art Trades Still Open!!

my OCs i made when I was 10 (the mermaid with black hair and girl in white dress are OCs from when I was 9 lol you can tell cuz there's not an insane amount of patterns)

again these are the simplified versions... i used to draw WAY too much detail

i... idk whats up with the purple guy that's unironically how he looks he's like the only super buff character I have cuz I couldn't draw muscles and the original drawing of him just looks weirdly lumpy lmaoo

i'm not even that obsessed with mermaids I have no clue why I have so many mermaid characters this isn't the end of them either I have at least two more mermaid OCs to my knowledge

can... can you tell that some of these designs were created when I started feeling attraction for the first time

unironically why most of my OCs are girls I just really like girls (and men too but idk I may have a preference or smth)

What does the prince look like?

i flanderised him but this is literally how he looks like

me when the ibuprofen hits

blend brush is MAKING ME GO CRAZY

what do you mean rendering is ten times easier and I can finally render without it looking weirdly smooth and untextured??

woahh something besides a white background?? (it's just transparent lmaooo)

the clothes were not my choice i had to clarify how the top works 😭

oo but look at the pretty colours

those two strings are NOT doing anything 💀

been staring at your art actually I'm not normal about it the soft textures are edible

omggg thank you actually im still writing an answer to your other question its gonna be really long 😭

erm kinda goes hard

made it so dramatic man it ain't that serious 😭

draw something that isn't super rendered with complex shading challenge impossible

that's why i probably have like 1 drawing on here that's cel-shaded cuz I just can't NOT add some nice gradient and smooth shading

although i didn't blend EVERYTHING this time I do gotta work on that cuz ik there's hard edges too and especially for shiny materials I shouldn't blend or else the texture will be wrong

doing art makes me appreciate it so much cuz i LOVE just doing the art, not just the product which is why I don't see the usefulness of AI, it takes away the part I actually enjoy doing

i gotta do more studies and especially learn how to draw backgrounds and perspective cuz I'll get a random burst of motivation to draw my comic but then... the first panel has to have a background shoot

your art trades are the reason I need to finish my Ray ref sheet

omgg nah but i'd love to see you draw puma guy tho I'm just curious I'll help you with it as usual lol

OCs i made when I was 10 (we're moving up from age 9!)

crazy to see how much things changed in terms of character design in just one year, they became so much more complex

colour wise, i was still an amateur lol, I had to change the colours slightly for some of these characters to make them look more unified cuz I was still just putting every single colour in all my designs

patterns went even crazier this is the SIMPLIFIED version of the designs so imagine what the originals looked like

def was my armour era boy everyone had armour i rarely made "normal" OCs

space era is exciting ngl i love drawing aliens and getting loose with it, I don't have to constrain myself as much I can just do whatever I want

its so funny cuz you can tell that I LOVED colour like the bad guys are literally the ones who are all grey and monotone (those two guys are good now tho)

the 3 ppl in the image that includes the red alien (and the blue alien) are the main OCs of a comic I made in 4th grade the plot is INSANE like actually ridiculous its so crazy it almost becomes satire

ART TRADES STILL OPEN istg pleaseee someone draw with me I have free time all this week and I just wanna draw man

lowkey reminds me of that one hard pic of a cgi caterpillar smoking

can you tell i love rendering like genuinely my favourite part of drawing is rendering it's so fun that's why I kinda over render everything I just can't help it
