need to pin this so i dont forget my order of operations LOL
sky:cotl art:
-finishing my skykid's portrait (suffering through my own favourite accessory, the mischief withered antlers)
-all season guides (icons)
-eventually each spirit under each guide (icons)
-^all 750x750px then shrunk to like, 350/150px?, will be free DL on my ko-fi shop when done (may take several months but i wanna do it)
-i'd like to draw the performance guide + stagehand looking like theyre getting married or just doing their things around harmony hall (same/dif right)
-ranger snuggled up to moments guide (then waking up kinda fucked up looking for funnies while the moments guide is like ok youre going over here (behind the rock) again)
-ranger meeting hermit to go skiing. they each teach hugs so they have a funny hug moment. i think the geologist would offer to join them for skiing but is secretly there to admire the hermit's cave / wont shut up about how cool the cave formation is
-develop colour palette based on in-game screenies to either colour pick from or just set up to use as flats lol
spyro art:
-draw spyro anything at this point. i still have, in my mind, an animated sprite cursor id like to make of each gem colour.. which should be easy once i get the base lines done for each gem shape...
-draw spyro himself... last time i drew him was 2012 maybe??
finally draw crossover where spyro thinks hes finally getting another vacation and then ends up going through a portal and ending up in sky. sparx doesnt know how to point to candles to help spyro tho so i think a skykid would grab spyro's tail (in good faith) and try to lead him. not sure my sky version of spyro would need thumbs. spyro trying to flame doors open, flaming the elevator...
for anyone curious the reason for the high time was a combination of admiring the mannequins, and then also trying to play the game while my medication was active, which essentially throws my brain into the trash to get me to sleep normally. i could not find my way out until i ran around the level a good like, 30 times? after clearing the enemies and everything...
i really love the mannequins and i was laughing so scared at one point, when i first saw the mannequin change poses within a frame next to me. i was listening to them breathing so calmly! then when i first battled with them it was very scary but i started to see how they worked. very cool enemy!!! (picking up that red skull...)
also no dont worry about that D, i dont stress for the scores right now since i havent had much actual time to spend in the game learning Cool Moves. one day i will learn what it takes to p-rank anything. since then my friend lea did score a lot better too lea is having so much fun. being so cool
Moving myself + my cat to the UK to be with my spouse has cost a decent amount of money, so I will be doing donation doodles through ko-fi + monthly commission slots! (monthly membership offers coming soon)
Commission slots + donate here at my Ko-fi!
https://ko-fi.com/charliewoodart
Other links/places to find me on my carrd
https://charliewood.carrd.co/
-Slots will be completed by the end of this month
-Donation doodles will be done between commissions over time, I'll be paying off this debt for a minute so if you can't donate now feel free to share and do so later! The offer will be up for the forseeable future
-I will be offering monthly memberships through Ko-fi soon, just need to sort out this month and getting more examples together as I'm just now fully settled into my permanent home
-Monthly memberships will most likely be artistic freedom + stuff I don't offer usually
Break down of the goal for transparency!
~$3,000 = cat transportation from US to UK fees/freight charges, vet appointments, etc.
~$3,000= my plane ticket + unexpected visa fees ontop of the $4,000 we already paid (lmao)
This is the current amount left after us paying so far!
You can also follow (or block) the #atreyuwatch tag if you want to (or want to not) keep up with Atreyu's recovery and the progress of this commission series.
Thank you so much everyone, you've already made a big difference for me and my sister -- and Atreyu!! Not so much his brother Artax who has no idea what's going on, but he's good too.
white space feat. sketches of some various tales of symphonia characters...
i love noishe very much.
the first image is colette and the unicorn (tho the unicorn is reborn by the time the middle image is happening, shes holding a young one in her arms and the sketch is soooo silly). i couldnt find the source of the legend i was thinking of, where a unicorn actually stabs someone (through the heart) with its horn to “heal”/bless them, if theyre “pure of heart” it succeeds. i think colette’s determination fits the legend perfectly... also, she deserves to hold a baby unicorn.
sheena is another favourite. i wanted to draw her looking messy. her clothes are fine but she’ll never see that hair tie again (but “someone” absolutely makes a show of chasing it down). you ever think about mountains?
alas, noishe forever. hes just a horsedog and its fine. he is here 4 times.
and uh, sheelos but dont ask me about it. ok (sheelos_deathgrip.sai)
