Heyo, Friends!!

Heyo, friends!!

Here is yet another awesome character I've made art of for ArtFight: Sol, owned by @citrispace here on tumblr ^-^

They were depicted both as a child and a young adult, so I decided to lean more towards the latter for the actual appearance, while I took inspiration from both of them for the expression and over-all vibe of the character :]

The hair was so incredibly fun to draw! I just love this lava-lamp vibe so much, and the floaty bits were a blast to add in the end!

I'm really happy with how they came out looking almost like a paper doll in some of the detailing, I shade my line-art *as well as* the actual flat colours, which might be why that happens from time to time bahahahaha

I'm also extremely satisfied with how their expression turned out! They seemed like a really fun-loving character, so I wanted to draw them laughing at a good joke ^-^

Awesome character #4 aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

I have decided to give my good friend Pothead Larry (A plastic halloween candy container that once housed a singular hemp plant which I found had sprouted in the yard) a realistic make-over

Painting away those angry eyesockets is definetly a challenge lmao :']

Making said eyesockets - as well as the nasal cavity - look like they aren't just shallow indents has also been a journey to say the least, and why is the cheekbone so long???? And why are the teeth so small?????? 😭

Definetly turning this into a flower pot once again after this, gotta get me some plant lights though since my window doesn't get enough light TTvTT

Hiya, friends! ^-^

Here's two quick illustrations of our favourite feathered biped landing after a morning glide (with a twist!) :D

Or, well, two versions of the same illustration lmfao, sketched traditionally in graphite and completed digitally on my phone

This is clearly not Eshra's usual colour scheme, but instead inspired by the Palawan peacock-pheasant! (pictured below)

The first version still adheres to Eshra's already existing colour scheme to some extent, while the second one is made completely with the reference material in mind :]

I did take some creative liberty with the purple iridescence under his wings, as that's not something that exists in either Eshra's design or the pheasant. It felt necessary i order to better tie the brown in with the rest of the colour scheme

I had honestly forgotten completely about the existence of this bird until @so-called-yokai (also the creator of this lovely character, go check them out) brought up the idea of giving Eshra a pheasant-themed makeover, which I obviously couldn't resist ^-^

Not-quite-peafowls and feathered bipeds inspired by said not-quite-peafowls aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡

Hello, friends!

Here is another awesome character I've made art of for ArtFight, owned and designed by @leilanising (and with the same name as she is a sona) here on tumblr ^-^

I actually struggled a bit with this one!! I couldn't use my usual approach to the line-art in terms of colour since I like to make it slightly darker than what it's surrounding, so it was challenging to let go of that familiarity and use lighter colours this time!

Nonetheless, it was a very fun challenge, and I'm glad I was able to push through with the rendering rather than just leaving it as flat colours ^-^

I'm happy with the result! And I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of drawing noses, which I've struggled with a lot in the past :D

Awesome character #3 aside, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day ^-^🧡
