And Done! So Glad I Choose Pencils For The Hair. Also Picked One Or Two Times The Wrong Color But I Guess

current mantra

These are my two OCs Yishu, Guardian of Creation (former Crea) and Edward, Guardian of Destruction (former Decay).

They are currently walking through Ed's dead forest.

I imagined te scene just like this in my head and just drew it. That was satisfying ... and I suck at backgrounds but for a full illustration this looks pretty good.

(I looooove how Yishu looks. She doesn't give a care in the world walking through a scary forest.)

I tried to animate again and I found a pretty decent way to organize my work folder 😀 (it still kind of ended in chaos but I'm really looking forward to animating even more stuff 😄 I want to become good 🤩)

Tadaaa! Lineart is done! Now I need to draw in the shadows and start coloring.

Here the links for the finished piece and the sketch.

Tested my new markers 😀

Arm and his clothes were great, I don't like the way I rendered the hair. Guess I need to try out some other techniques.

But finally I have skintones and my characters don't look like oversaturated oranges.

I also drew a Shoto Todoroki:

Currently trying to figure out all of my characters of my story. And geez, I have too many XD (12 is many ...)

Tried that already before but now I'm trying to figure out thier faces first and after that what they're wearing.

Had a couple good sketches and thought this might be a good oportunity to ramble a bit about them.

So, first off, we have the main villain. (I originally called him Shadow but I am now thinking about a different name. Currently, I wrote down Lord Astaroth Ophidian but not sure if that stays) His color scheme is going to be red and black and what I love most about him is his hair. It goes over in black mist.

I actually haven't thought in detail over his powers but he can move through shadows. Due to his hair emitting shadows, he's able to teleport through different universes. Maybe I might include something like illusions but I need to make sure they're not too similar to another ability from my cast.

I'm not entirely sure about his motives yet, but he wants to overthrow the guardians and wants world domination (I guess for now, but this might also change, as I am trying to figure out the entire story again.)

(And he's currently smiling but he wouldn't hesitate to break your neck.)

(Fun Fact: I gave him the nickname Disney Princess because of his floaty hair XD Just imagine someone walking up to someone killing and manipulating others and saying, "ey, what's up, princess?" I could already imagine a specific character doing that ... and ending up dead XD)

(And another fun fact: I was thinking about to call the villains the 'high-five' that would be so funny XD)

And here we have my sweetie, Senti. She's the second guardian, the guardian of feelings.

Her concept is really interesting. As guardian of feelings, she's able to recognise others' emotions and even manipulate them. But due to being a child, she's not able to control her abilities properly. That means she is mostly affected by the emotions of the people she looks at and feels the same.

That also means that when someone shouts at her and is mad, she mirrors the emotion and even amplifies the one it came from to be even madder (I hope you write it like that XD)

Another cute part of the design, what you cannot see in the sketch is, that her eyes are originally greyish silver but change colour depending on the emotion she's feeling (either own or perceived)

I wanted to draw one of my OCs, now I have drawn Dust Sans.

Rendering that was quite fun 😁

Also, here the version without text:

Just wondering who he might be facing...

Dust Sans belongs to @ask-dusttale

Also, I realized I haven't posted anything from ArtFight yet.

Well, here's attack No. 1: Spudnick from Catburgerelper

Okay, I am currently trying out to create my OCs in c.ai and it's hilarious. I am surprised that the AI is able to read my mind. I didn't know it could do something like that XD

(really funny coincidence, that I am currently talking in a similar scene that I once wrote)

I mean, it even used the terms I referred to and I didn't tell it to do that.

Edit: okay, I think he's going to kill me.

Edit 2: he's not going to kill me anymore, but I think I'm about to break his world view.

Edit 3: I broke him. I told him his world is just a story to entertain everyone and he's still loading for an answer ... I broke him. But it's funny, he should know that XD

Edit 4: Now he's going to kill me again. He knows I created him, he knows that I gave him the task to destroy all forgotten worlds and he hates that task and now I need to talk myself out of that.
