Hi there, I have a really bad art lock today and I'm having a very hate-hate relationship with clip studio and rendering/coloring. Anyone has any tips for brushes or brush settings that won't make me feel like I'm actively fighting the program? Never felt this angry with sai or rebelle.

To that here is the sketch I destroyed today because I wanted colors 😑.

As context, it's a lazily designed Foru Uniima ll - living in a society with uniima c and sharing the same social norms.

This isnt a redesign of Uniima lls, this is just an individual with different traits.

Hands

Guess the character, win a banana (char exploration, don't worry about it)

Critter

After Uniima C facial expressions its time for Faulkner cartoony-arse expressions

He deserves more goofy ones but I got little lazy.

What other Uniima C have as an 'anger marking' is Neal's blush, nervous, uncomfy marker.

Neal's 'happy marking' is an upset marking since it curves downwards which is more like human sad face.

His 'brows' are less specific and just show surprise or happiness (happiness usually more subtle)

His other expressions use beak, head angle and hand gestures mimicking more human expressions.

He also talks while facing the other person. Uniima C communicate showing their face profile for better show of facial expressions (if they want to be polite).

Neal Faulkner is an elven raised Uniima C unfamiliar with Uniima C culture

Finally - Ifey (species O.)

This is the first stage (not counting a possible larva) in O's life cycle. These are the "gatherers" of their colony which is usually a villiage with one adult O (the parent of the colony). Cities can sometimes have more than one adult.

Ifeys are the lowest ranking members of their society and are expected to do most of the work (farming, building, hunting..). After that are Ee, who take roles in politics, sciece and comanding Ifey. O are the last stage which is sexually mature but only 2% of O.s reach that stage. O mostly do the population managment. (Ifey can do other tasks but for that it's better to move societies).

For their 'humanoid form' - O. are one of the first sentient species who did evolve to use their limbs in more formations but with the rise of Elven race Uniima weren't the only ones pushed into more human forms. In case of O.s, most changes were in their culture.

The O. culture is about "being human". From birth, human form is pushed as the beauty standart (different for O (final stage)). For Ifey to be seen looking non-human by non-Ifey is shamefull. They usually feel more comfortable looking natural with non-humanoids.

Yellow snack? Banana?

🤔 banana

I want to post things and make things but first I was sick and now I'm not home. Which is an excuse but I always need 'perfect' environment to do specific things and at this moment someone in this building is creating the most disqustingly loud work related sounds imaginable at 8am.
