redesigning Leson, my sona-ish girlson

you might recognize this character from the iterative designs I've drawn from her for various projects.

In her catgirl era. I'm also in my catgirl era, I guess

"You discover your blood coagulates with the miracle of life"

monster collecting game pitch I made last year, thought Id share it cuz I still like it. who knows, I might expand on it, even

Blue-Faced Honeyeater

Bare-faced Go-Away Bird

when in doubt.. do the artist classic of turning birds into people

i would defo call it mascot horror, in a matter-of-fact neutral sorta way, even with genre overlap with cursed game/analog horror

it's a great game but some peeps try to elevate it to something higher than what it definitely is, and I think that can be dismissive somewhat

mean chip, dry chip, stinky chip, and sick chip #art #artsky

been rewatching Snapcube's sonic unleashed vids, channeled my love for those in these Chips

first drawing of the year..-ish

I'd like to award Aja as oc of the year. everywhere

currently working on the final perspective project which is so miserable and I'm posting her now so I can feel proud of myself for just a little bit.

original design, more frankenstein-esque, but I was advised to make a design that would make more sense on its own and wouldn't require setup or explanation

right: original-ish design right: redesign to remove specificity and make the character less obtuse

more design explorations of the more bear-looking design

tryna give her cute lil demon-horn-like ears :)

some sketches and explorations for what could be the main character of my end program animation. might have a cat with which the story'll revolve around

holy fucking cringe how did I not notice that texture mistake. have the real version

Mega Victreebel: "ooh my belly is so full and big and round fuckkk" aah design. Didn't care about the original too much but man is this one so nothing. purely comedy for an otherwise cool pokemon didn't sit right with me, especially considering the short tries to treat it with genuine terror. so I amplified its bizarre nature and doubled it with an evil, ever-hungry disposition and changed its typing to Fire/Poison for flavor.

Mega Starmie: Everyone has a strong opinion on this one. Now, I used to be cringe and see this design with disdain but now I see it as [True..] nevertheless I thought I might try my hand at a design that would appeal to more people by turning its golden crown into a unisex corset for boys and girls, shoved its crystal up to look like a face and put a swag brown gradient evoking Staryu, to also make it look sorta human. Psychic/Normal.. turns human like Joe from Help I'm a Fish. drowns in water like Joe from Help I'm a Fish

Mega Feraligatr: conceptually sound on a very basic level but could if it only looks good in action and otherwise looks clunky and weird it's a [False..] from me. its dragon head is supposed to look like Totodile but it ends up being the weakest early-form-integration due to how unintimidating it ends up looking. so i made its extended hood into a skull-type extrusion, with an elongated jaw, dragon-like scales on its arms, white underbelly and segmented skeletal tail, playing into the earlier line's caveman theming, more dragon theming, prehistorics crocs, sewer gators and the catacombs (still Water/Dragon tho)

redesigns of some #PokemonLegendsZA megas for a thing on the Subjectively discord, haven't played the game and I don't think these are all too terrible (used to be a mega Starmie hater but I see it as true now), just wanted to channel some hot takes for fun. some details in the alt text!

Jodie- Character and Expressions. (in order: Physical, Dense, Embarassable)

Jodie (magic)- Character and Expressions. (in order: Indulgent, Show-off, Decomplexed) - had magic since childhood, generally kept it to herself and her closest friends and family

The main cast on their average day. Aja, Peg, Wes, Mona and Jodie. Every character except for Wes are named after Steely Dan and Donald Fagen songs (Wes is just a name I like :) him not fitting in quite right is also part of the story)

the main cast's Magical Alter-Ego's. I envision they don't join eachother as a group until very far in the story. as such, they often see eachother (them and ordinary civilians) as antagonistic forces, and are often confused by eachother due to some similar features in their appearance (shapes, colors, attitudes, etc.). While Aja/Seraphim is the focal point, every one could be the protagonist of their own story.

aaaaand I think this should close out the Polymajam project! definitely had a lot of fun with these, this is definitely something that'll be useful in a portfolio and I'll surely revisit it in the future!

guys, this might be a subtle hint to a future grayfruit "spedrun" video coming soon, if this goes to where I am thinking I believe we will be "tooning" soon! ;P

The treasures were created by a witch from the magical world mentioned in a previous post about the magical characters. They were meant to aid in the understanding and teaching of magic, but were left unfinished due to mysterious circumstances regarding their creator. They are alive, but their ego were suppressed, however once stranded in the human world, they begin developing their nature through dreams and nightmares, turning their powers haywire and turning most into monsters.

some of the treasures attach themselves to objects, attaching their own suppressed ego onto them. some monsters are actually fully awake, and are actively protecting themselves through outward aggression

some treasures attach themselves to living beings, expressing their powers with or without their users' knowledge or intent

Polymajam's major power system and antagonistic force. these are just the Clow Cards from ccs but if they were trinkets. I've put a more thorough explanation of their use in the plot in the alt text, but in short they turn into monsters while dreaming.

what the hell is that little ugly patch in Wes's coloring!! what da hell.. shoot bullets at me

Wes - Character and Expressions. (in order: Pleasant, Reserved, Humoring)

Catface- Character and Expressions. (in order: Strict, Assiduous, Alarmed), His powers come from the Treasure of Constructs, which transforms his physical form

Mona- Character and Expressions. (in order: Guilty, Observing, Brazen)

Alfa- Character and Expressions. (in order: Pliable, Imposing, Fierce), her powers are natural and her form is an illusion formed by light magic, minus the boots mask, horns and shoes

ref sheets for Wes and Mona! As was written in the post about the human characters, these two are siblings, and it was fun to design them to reflect and contrast eachother. Some changes here and there, Wes's colors and "?" renamed to Alfa

added some visual flurishes from the updated sheet style I had forgotten, le awesome revisionism

confirming that the gray fruit it in fact purple

Aja - Character and Expressions. (in order: Eccentric, Impatient, Irritable)

Seraphim- Character and Expressions. (in order: Obliging, Atypical, Unsubtle)

Peg- Character and Expressions. (in order: Punctual, Charismatic, Patient)

Silhouetta- Character and Expressions. (in order: Dilligent, Charming, Chivalrous)

Welp, it has indeed been an entire week, but I have some of the cleaned characters sheets for Aja, Peg, and their alter-egos to show for it! This entire project will be finished by the end of the week so expect more sheets like this soon

#oc #ocsky #characterdesign #artsky #art #magicalgirl

no, I didn't forget to post in weeks, grow up, grow old.

uuh yeah, closest thing to finished renders for all of these. hope this is enough for like, another two weeks or so (main characters render will come sooner I prommy)

Three tiny apes walk down the street in the manner of the Garbage Ape, bouncing a trash can on top of their small heads. A crowd of three cats cheer as they watch them approach. Two owls watch the entire scene, and one says "Garbage apelings."

thought I'd share some of these sheets, this is actually the first time I've actually put some thought into character inspiration. actual art coming soon, for real, maybe

#oc #ocsky #magicalgirl

some of the inhabitants of the magical world that's part of Polymajam's story.. you might recognize them from those bug-inspired thumbnails I shared before. their designs will similarly be finalized in the next few weeks
