Feeling a little sick today, so figured I'd do some self-indulgent art of some of my favorite older pokemon designs. Contemplating setting up a Patreon or something similar to a room a project of sketching every single Pokemon, but maybe not too soon.

Pencil sketch, having a lot of fun working with pencils again!

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

#viktor #arcane #ig my assumption would be that he wears both simultaneously cause in the scene where he injects the shimmer #it seems implied that he just threw off his clothes and kept experimenting #so one might assume he was already wearing the smaller one underneath #tho it is a funny image to think of him just being like 'one sec i gotta go all the way home and grab my other brace to do this'#he can take off the back brace too cause hes not wearing it in the scene where he's in the hospital bed and you can see his shoulder #where the strap would be #but that one seems to make even less sense functionality wise #everything looks like its screwed together #or screwed INTO him #but only the top bolts on his spine are i think #in the close ups of his back brace model it looks like theres cushioning underneath the parts of it that cover the rest of his spine #so he can take it off. but HOW #what parts of it unscrew/detatch to pull open and off #does it not do that at all and he just has to shimmy it off his shoulder and all the way down his legs to get it off like a romper #the shape language of the designs are cool but like. tell me how it wooorrkkksss #forgive me if im just dumb and dont know at all how braces work and theres a very simple practical explanation for all this #any king who wants to infodump about mobility aids at me....the floor is yours #something to be said i suppose about the fact that zaunites have crazy prosthetics with wild augmentations that work flawlessly #and piltover's like. idk heres some fucking uncomfortable ass metal. salo gets wheelchair in non ada compliant place #they havent ever needed to adapt to accommodate disabilities etc etc #or maybe artists were just like 'heres a design' and everybody clapped and didnt give it a second thought #and then they just turned off the visibility on the mesh when they didnt need it knowing thered not be a scene where its taken off #dont even wanna THINK about what that rig would look like #like 40 different controllers #soft body and rigid hard surfaces needing to move together....#a cold chill just shot up my spine #<- guy who is only an animator and doesnt know how to rig #forgive the magic wand tool with zero cleanup. i am lazy

joel is a polite young man and i would die for him.

Played around with expressions a bit! had a lot of fun thinking about how weird his skull must look like now

#normal things that normal people say.#lots of fun imagining fucked up mutated bone structures and what that would do to a smile #im thinking only the top right corner and the neck can actually close fully #that the section on his chest is less mobile being fused to the sternum/ribs #and that his skull is actually split a bit so when he opens wider or frowns the left half actually drops a bit #so he's got a kinda heart-shaped head with an odd bald spot in the middle where that skin is being stretched.#...... i like anatomy #and thinking about inhuman body language <3 #Look outside character design is so good #anyways. tags time #look outside #look outside joel #my art (:#fan art #monsters

Anyone else kind of disappointed by the awakened Hollyberry design? And I’m not talking about the whole “they made her skinnier” thing (I do think they did that, but that’s a conversation for another day), I’m talking about the design itself. It looks nice and it’s really pretty, but it just… doesn’t look like Hollyberry? If you told me that these were two different characters, I would believe you. Their silhouettes also look pretty different (for the silhouette I had to get rid of awakened Hollyberry’s back hair because it muddied it up too much)

My main point of critique however is the shape language. Hollyberry’s original design has super strong circular/round shape language, which I’ve always been a huge fan of. However, her awakened design has very very little of that and is very angular (I also feel like her facial proportions are different? But I’ll let that slide cuz it’s just a trailer). The heart shapes that were on her original design are still there, yes, but a lot smaller, less prominent (the shield for example) and again more angular.

Another thing that’s bugging me is that her Souljam changed shape to be more angular? I don’t think that Souljam’s shape’s are supposed to change like that, and it makes it look a lot more like Eternal Sugar’s Souljam. (Yes there’s probably gonna be a lore reason why, but why is she the only ancient to get her Souljam changed?)

#cookie run #crk #cookie run kingdom #hollyberry cookie #awakened hollyberry cookie #design analysis #shape language #also they gave her a wing motif which is ESC’s thing like what #and i think her dough is lighter but we’ll hope that’s just the lighting

whatever. go my vbros kittys

#they don't tell you this but catifying your favs is really good for character design practice #cause you need to know how to translate shape language from human to cat and whatnot in order to make them recognizable on first glance #this is just what i've observed over the years anyways #brock samson #rusty venture #the monarch #malcolm fitzcarraldo #dean venture #hank venture #the venture bros #venture bros #vbros #catified #animalified

I don't know if you've already been asked this before, but would it be okay to make tintin fanart with your chang design?

Absolutely! I'd love to see what people make with my design! Be sure to tag me so I can see it!

He's a little tricky to draw so here's a sort of model sheet/style guide for him. Even though this is my own design I struggle getting him right half the time! This is what his design has become after I've spent ages drawing him so you will find plenty of examples of my own art breaking these "rules." I've done one for Tintin some time ago here

You don't have to adhere to this strictly in order to draw him! This is only a guide if you want to emulate my way of drawing him! Have fun with it. Chang would want you to.

#asks #fanart #tintin #adventures of tintin #chang #model sheets!!!#id love to see more chang fanart!#he was so underused in the canon #my design for him is essentially an aged up version of the 90s cartoon #i wanted him to have a different shape language to tintin #drawing handsome characters is difficult #have fun!

Possible Dark World Mettablook design I'm exploring

#deltarune #my art #mettaton #Mettablook #trying to keep a lot of the same shape language and colors as his EX design but a bit softer and more organic #also his cape gives him a ghosty silhouette when closed #the very important part is that he has legs in the Dark World!!! leggies!!!#MTT DW AU

Updated Elora design + models!!!

I've been studying the WOY art style in a way, and tried to mimic the art style as best as I could. I also simplified her design because I wasn't satisfied with how cluttered her top half was, and made minor changes regarding her color scheme! I'm very happy with how this turned out!

#i actually based her design off of king cobras! :)#not an object i know but still! it really helped me understand the shape language #wander over yonder #woy oc #woy ocs #my art

i feel like the only long tail leo truther out there. CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME

#personal #rottmnt #it fits his mask tails and shape language!! its more design cohesive!!!!!!!!!!#also it would look cool in action #i actually love how they animate leo's mask tails in particular theyre so flowy. giving him a long tail could make it like that #esp. cause his fighting style means he spins around a lot. think about it. just Thinkkkk #i also like giving it that tip as you see in my art... he looks like a rattlesnake #i think i was sold on it the moment i made his and donnie's tails twine in CL cause that was the cutest shit everrrr
