Gila, the scheming little shit

IT'S HERRRRRRRRRRRR WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I was gonna do wayyyy more for this ref sheet, I was gonna do a turnaround, her cloak pattern, her tattoos, an expression sheet, her scepter, but all that got shafted when I realized that I FUCKIN HATE DOING REF SHEETS, IT'S SO BORING AND FRUSTRATING

I also came to the realization that I don't really like her design that much, it feels kinda boring and the colors aren't very representative of her character. Blue just does not fit her. So I'll probably end up revisiting her in the future to redesign her, but I am not doing another ref sheet, the next time I need one I'm just gonna commission someone because they're a pain in the ass

Here is the last character from this batch of descriptions, her name is Zostera and she's a human-Atlantean(?) hybrid. I was really unhappy with her at first, mainly because I thought her face looked really weird (I think its mostly her hair and her "ears" honestly). That, and her armor is just really fuckin ugly, but I wasn't too upset about that because I can always just give her a different outfit. Overall she's grown on me a little. Still not that proud of her but I'm definitely gonna revisit her in the future :)

Here is her description, as soon as I read "aquamarine skinned" I knew I wanted to do some kind of weird fish lady. And as soon as I read "ripped, masculine clothes" I knew she had to be a tomboy. The makeup kinda contradicts that, but I gave her purple accents in her skin to imply that the "eye shadow" is natural. She also has glowing purple blood, because why not. Here are some details about her:

Zostera's name is based off the dwarf seahorse, I planned to make her more seahorse-coded but I literally had zero ideas for that outside the name

She is 5'1" (SHORT QUEEEEEEEEN✨)

She can breathe underwater and on the surface

She has excellent night vision, making her eyes sensitive to light

She is a warrior who aims to unite her two worlds, despite being rejected from both for being a half-blood

She is tough as nails and could absolutely kick your ass

The weird coral stalks on her body are actually sensory organs, and with them she can detect vibrations in the air, sort of like faux ears

When she's underwater, she can use them to echolocate and communicate with other ocean folk

If her coral stalks are damaged, it could cause serious long term brain damage, loss of memory, loss of cognitive function, loss of motor skills, and loss of certain senses. Imagine a concussion but your brain is on the outside of your skull

Her coral stalks can glow, but not that bright

When she was young, everyone in her home village called her a multitude of colorful mean names, among them being "gargler", which is actually a slur towards ocean folk. Dang ol racism

Because she has glowing purple blood, her face also glows purple when she blushes, which doesn't happen very often but you're welcome to try :)

NAME THEM PLEASE

This character is a part of a character design challenge that I got the idea for from an episode of Drawfee (love drawfee sm eheheehe) where they generated a description for a character using THIS WEBSITE and they each made a character based off the same description. What I'm doing here is completely ignoring the usage of a single description, and instead I used 3 different descriptions to each make a different character with

Here is the description I used for this character, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do as I was reading it, right up until the "long unkempt mutton chops". Those really through me for a loop. I omitted quite a few details, some on purpose and some by accident (I straight up did not see the 5'5" height, I just read "tall" and rolled with it) Here are some little facts and details about them:

They (and their species) currently don't have a name, and I want you all to help with that :D preferably something ethereal sounding or space related

They are androgynous and use they/them pronouns

They have a bit of an ego due to rising up the ranks so fast

They are 100% not the main character, no matter how much they think they are

They are 8'6" tall

Their species speaks in the voices of all their past ancestors, making them sound sometimes male and sometimes female

The crescent symbol thing in the background is the mark that they have across their back, I just didn't wanna do a turnaround

The color of their eyes represents their rank in society (Lowest rank = red, highest rank = purple

The color of their flames represent how close they are to reaching the next rank

Their spear is a placeholder because I didn't want to do complicated weapon design in a character design challenge

The flames on the sides of their face were meant to be the "long unkempt mutton chops"

I forgot to include the pointed nose so I thought that maybe they have a helmet to go with the rest of their armor that has a pointed nose

They have zygodactyl feet, which goes weirdly well with the pointed nose idea. I did not mean to make this character as bird-coded as I did but I'm not unhappy with it

More dragons! anemone, snowfall and freedom

A tom of his clan, he is a founding cat. In my world Leader Silt was also responsible for writing Clan-law, but more on that later. Who's your favorite wc character and why?

Here is some new character art for my first novel, The Piper Wars Saga. This character is named Vincent Frost.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, basically, I didn't like too much the first design of Flex ( the last image), so I decided to make a few changes, mostly because I felt it looked a bit like vaporeon, and to simplify its color palette as well . This is my reimagining of one of the guardians from the video game Kameo. In the original design he had big fangs, although they weren't used for attacking, so I decided to exaggerate it even more XD In this reimagining Flex would swim like otters, but would also use electricity in his attacks, his paws instead of having pads would be frog-like, so he could stick to certain surfaces to move around.

A fast portrait I did of Willy, I'm not to happy with my color choices at the end, but I like the contrast ad the light. I'm just trying to work faster when doing portraits.

Uhm excuse me Nintendo that was my colour pallette may I have that back. You best not be lurking on my other ideas. Then everyone will assume I based my characters on your joycons. Even though they were conceived long before. Just kidding no owns colours luckily. But I'm watching you nintendo 🧐. #nintendo #joycons #purpleorange #orangepurple #drawing #veops #veop #veopsen #originalcharacter #closedspecies #oc #nintendoswitch #phonedrawing #creature #controller #games https://www.instagram.com/p/B0CD583iWpc/?igshid=1dhqyq69ilaeg

Sorry for not posting lately, the world right now is in a mess but if we continue to listen to each other and be kind, we can all get through this together. On that note, here is the one of the main characters I'm currently writing a story about 💛 I'm going to juggle between art and writing and hopefully soon I can be posting here more often! . . . #art #illustration #originalcharacter #oc #pencildrawing #sketch #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #draw #colorpencil #girldrawing #miranthe #instaart #artist #artwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CBKLEorHUUX/?igshid=1fyxk8kkhr0wz
