(last anon) TYSM, i'm just wondering about the sketches of these 2 art because these are my personal fav of yours

I always start out with a super rough sketch where I just lay down the idea to get a feel for whether or not I think the actual illustration can succeed. It's just a few lines, but it's enough for me to decide whether or not I want to continue with it.
After that, I flesh it out a bit and start fiddling with the composition, the weight of the characters and how they're placed, the general size of the image, etc.
I never draw the characters nude first, only if I get stuck on a specific pose. I build on 'blocks' and rely on feeling more than anything. For example, the legs on Raki make no sense if I look at them for too long, but they feel right, and that's enough for me, hah! Sometimes I'll take a reference photo of myself, mostly to understand what my body is doing to achieve a particular pose.
After that, I clean up the sketch so it's ready for lineart, drawing directly on top of those loose lines!
It's the same for the monster drawing! Rough idea first
Then fleshing it out to get a better idea of the composition and how the characters interact with each other and the environment
And a bit more of that
And then I clean it up so it's ready for lineart!
If it's okay, can i ask what you take into consideration while drawing characters interacting with each other? Everytime i see your art i get amazed of how good you are projecting their dynamics :)
hmm... characters' personalities seen thru body language, the story, and then whatever makes the composition work. recent example!
i drew #1 first and while motion of their outstretched arms feels more dynamic and soft, it doesn't really suit them (at least the part where i was at in the book lol). kdj is a slippery person who nonetheless craves connection (albeit only on his terms), whereas yjh is a lonely but strong-willed guy who's found a companion he needs to stay... so i switched the pose to #2, kdj keeping his hands to himself but still perched lightly on yjh's shoulder, and yjh encircling his whole forearm with a strong grip, shoulder and elbow locked. "no direct skinship, but the kind of touch that wants to ground and to hold close" ...is the feeling i was shooting for (': then the other adjustments are just for tuning up composition
i think where & how characters occupy space near/within each others' sphere, how they look at/touch each other (or don't!) expresses a lot about how they feel (about each other, about a situation). so i pay a lot of attention to where hands are placed and how their gazes are turned... and also bc i love drawing hands and i hate drawing faces. lol
realized i never uploaded these- i wanted to make a set of personal headcanon designs for The Fellas but never finished all of them, so here are the ones I did do!
maybe in the future i'll try and do everyone else: hyrule, twilight, time, and wild. we'll have to see
Sort-of-re-draw of my most(?) popular post Throw back to… six years ago… :v
Wild probably doesn’t need anymore group photos, but one more can’t hurt.
trick or Ravio? 🤭🐰
Ravio always!!!! 🐰💜💜💜💜
Once again posting a speedpaint bc 1 (one) person asked
@lantry is this anything
Linktober day 13, Skull Lake!
The trip to the lake’s thwarted by the weather. Oh well. We need more quiet moments of rest between action packed adventure, after all.

I don't want to give you any additional pressure, I just have to ask because I come back quite often (like...multiple times a day haha) to your first Wizzrobe comic and laugh at Twilight and Legend's reactions to seeing their baby brothers as literal babies and I just...have to beg for a sketch or something of Twilight with Baby Wild and Legend with Baby Hyrule please and thank you from the bottom of my heart for this comic I genuinely adore this gift you've given us 💙💙💙
Omg a request! I haven't gotten requests in so long!! I don't have much time this week so I decided to take some doodles I had previously drawn and paste them together into a page. Hopeful this matches your request enough!
I also have to thank you for coming back to see my art so much (That little comment made my heart oh so gooey. It's made my literal week!) I'm so glad people like Tiny Links as well. I think they're just such funky guys
Kept thinking about how weak and disorientated Jon gets when cut off from the Eye, which got me thinking about Martin having to help him as his state got worse.
Surprisingly, instead of getting angsty, I ended up with Jon being carried around like a ragdoll.
Heyo! //24// Mostly characters design and fan art of things I’m into at the time! https://linktr.ee/stardropz
