Omg this manga would have been so much less insulting (even if it has, uh, other issues) if she was drawn like this instead of what they went with

I miss OG dA so much, the community there used to be so robust and it was so easy to find the art you like. I wistfully miss art memes and OCTs so much, they were such a great way to engage and have fun with art friends. The old school dA UI is seriously under-rated and let us do so many fun things!

A page of sketches of two oc's in different poses;  The first is a tiefling (Hazel) with her hands held victoriously above her head celebrating with a big open fanged smile, while an elf (Almond) stands next to her clapping her hands with an excited expression;  The second next to them is Almond and Hazel but this time the elf is struggling to hold up the tiefling while flying while said character angrily panics about it; the third is a side view of the two character where Almond is softly holding Hazel's hands up like shes trying to encourage her.
There are also small sketches in-between of a little round robot with a stylized bomb for a head as well as two unrelated oc sketches at the bottom

I feel like it needs to be shared that one of my big motivators for posting online is that whenever I share doodles to my bestie, she is being oh so supportive while holding a bat saying "ok now post it."

harmonious colour pallet you can try adding spot colour greens and browns to lean more natural tortoise colours, or violet if you want to go in the other direction. For beginners you can always reference other similar colour pallets to help you along your way!

The blues are nice, but youโ€™re lacking contrast. Try adding some darker more saturated tones to accent the areas you want to have more attention. You can also add another colour to compliment the blue, orange is great for strong focused pops of colour like in the eyes, or if you want a more subdued

They got that minor illusion bard magic! But also mostly I want to draw their story as a comic at some point and this fool needs to be able to โœจexpressโœจ This mask only smiles though! Gonna have a gag where they swap out masks when they need to drastically change expressions to other emotions.
