I'm Back, Baby!

I'm back, baby!

One little step at a time.

Wow, super-helpful, I can see how a little more research would do me a ton of good.

Thanks so much, the wait was totally worth it.

I have always wanted to submit something to this blog… *-* 

Uh, this is Aitina. She’s meant to look like she could stand up in a fight with wooden swords, maybe, but she’s not realistically meant to be in battle.

A lot of the time I feel like my designs are too simple? Any tips there?

Google will reveal to you that nothing is truly simple *jazz hands*

Even without frills or decoration, the construction of clothing is inherently complex, and you can use that to sell an otherwise minimal design. I more or less ripped off the references I pulled, which are all very basic in design, and even then you get quite a bit of extra information and visual interest, no?

Though you may want to be a little more creative than just ripping off reference images. Maybe. >_>

A tribute to the first 47 episodes Northernlion's Isaac playthrough.

My art journey has a post.

The last one isn’t even a finished piece, it’s a throwaway ballpoint pen doodle with some cel shading slapped on. For serious.

Anywho, here’s Eymweth. I thought it might be nice to trace her journey. I created her in seventh grade, and look where she’s gone. Sometime in 2009, I decided that short, straight cut hair was boring, and she eventually ended up with spiky bangs and a long, thin ponytail.

She was buff for a period of time, which is confusing, considering she’s a ranger with pretty much no skill in hand-to-hand combat. I finally brought back the flask at her waist, which is supposed to contain poison for her arrows. I’m kind of sad that I did away with her cloak entirely—while it was cliché and out of place on the character, I just love cloaks.

For a while I gave her armor an intricate design and such, but that just doesn’t fit her either, so I’ve discarded it. Though probably impractical, I am fond of her breastplate-and-pants style with the two-finger gloves. The main goal was flexibility and not having to draw shoulder armor, which I was completely terrible at at the time.

Now go back in time and show seventh grade me this when I was first designing the charrie. xD

Updated: 2012 versions of Eymmy on the end.

Updated: 2013 versions on the end (I have now reached image limit haha) Eymweth finally gets something on her stomach :D
