Sooo, I Am Doing A Short Animation Again ... (at Least I'm Trying) And Currently I Hit A Roadblock.

Found this little goober while looking through my sketchbook.

I was drawing a lot in my sketchbook lately and I came up with this place. Something in between of nothing. That's why I called this the "In-Between"

(I am also working on a concept for the character in the middle, but I first need to figure out how he looks. AND I also want to get a little away from my Undertale content, since I failed AGAIN to transfer my idea in a format I would accept, I do what I can do best: start over.)

I really love how peaceful and silent this place seems. I imagine this place to be a sub-dimension in between worlds. Kind of a connecting point for those who are aware. For that, it doesn't need to have much. I decided anyways to give this dimension a guardian and him a little place to be with a little company. (Birds are cute 😊)

Lately, I have been annoyed with how I draw faces, so I figured, I try something new and actually LEARN anatomy instead of drawing what I think it looks like. (I mean, that method worked until now, and if I could travel back in time, I wouldn't change my approach to learning to draw. The most important is having fun, am I right?)

By now, I only figured out two directions (and some in between) but it's interesting to finally understand how the face is supposed to work. Additionally, it helps with shading. I still didn't quite get the area for the eyes but I also have some other perspectives to learn to draw, so I might figure it out as I continue.

Thought I might share this over here and next up will be facing down, left and right. I also still need to find a way to adapt it to my style. But for now, I am pretty proud of these 😃

Hello again, some time since I posted something 😅 I know it might be a little late, but after watching the new Underverse Episode, I wanted to draw a scene and I finally found some time to draw again😊

I tried to achieve the same glowing effect as in the reference and I'm not quite sure if I managed to achieve what I wanted. I was also not sure whether to blend the background or not. (I decided to leave it that way to not ruin it 😅) And now I realize that my camera made the one side of the picture lighter than the other what looks really cool 😁

Souls

Something that I should also probably explain before diving into characters, is the way I think of souls.

As already explained in Undertale, the soul is the culmination of a being. I perceive it as if all of yourself is condensed in your soul. Memories, preferences, opinions. Taking one part out of that, the soul wouldn't change visibly, but physically something is missing, making the person holding that soul act, think and feel differently.

I also quite like the idea of the soul being reflected in my character's eye colours. That way, you kind of can look into their soul if you're looking into their eyes 😍.

I also really like the part with the soul traits. That means, you have one trait that you can categorise the way someone is.

The only problem I see with that is, that it's too bland. It would mean a brave character needs to ALWAYS act brave and a nice person needs to ALWAYS be nice to everyone. Because of that being unrealistic, but still wanting to include it, I like to think about it like your soul trait only shows at extreme moments. That way a character can still feel normal doing something that wouldn't exactly fit their soul trait.

If you take it a level further, it's also more likely for a character to drift into a constant behaviour that hurts their own soul. That means if a kind person is constantly being mean to everyone, it's going to affect them negatively. It could be physical but also mental. (Just came up with this last thought as I kept writing it down, but damn ... I see potential for some deep plot 🙂)

Now I'm looking through old pictures and thinking like: aww that looks so cute. I should totally take some of the old designs and integrate them into the new ones.

like, here what I'm talking about (old one above, new one below):

I really like the eyes of the old one, the loose hairstrains and the staff. THAT STAFF IS SO COOL!!! Imagine her pulling out a giant ink pen out of it.

In the new design, I merged the eye colours (might undo that, I think I like the separate colours. I also did that originally to set her colour-sceme, since the cloak was ... all colours.) I replaced the staff with a scroll because she wouldn't be fighting, but currently I'm like, I don't care, I want staff, gimme staff o.o

Maybe I'll merge what I listed above from the old design with the hairstyle and outfit from the lower one. (If I make that staff a giant ink pen, that vial of ink will clearly need to be bigger. Or could it be, that she just spills the ink over the tip of the pen and then starts to draw?)

Edit: Oh and in terms of creativity and the creative way I decided their names (it was simply their profession. I was lazy 😅) I decided to put a little more effort in and rename them. So er name is not Creativity or Crea anymore, her new name is Yishu.

Yishu, the guardian of creativity

Hi, it's me again

I am currently working on a little something which I'm not sure if I'll manage to make something out of it but I'm motivated to continue.

I wanted to maybe make a one-paged small teensy tiny comic about one of my OCs. Currently, I am still working on their designs and hopefully I'll get something done this time, but I'm confident 😁

PS: I am also currently amazed by animation again. I'll keep training a little and then I can share something with you.

(I am also trying to post more often, but let's see how that'll turn out 😂)

Been doodling. That's my OC Percy. He's a cute one ... also a poor soul. I made him being hunted by a ghost.

How I pratice drawing things, now in a tutorial form. The shrimp photo I used is here Show me your shrimps if you do this uvu  PS: lots of engrish because foreign
