pAani and tweak pen sketches— i was practicing them for an ask

me when I want to draw instead of committing to my responsibilities but I'm too anxious to draw because I have responsibilities so they cancel eachother out and i do nothing till 5 pm

[chickengoldnuggets2]

Barnacles take 2!

I wanna do my own redesigns of the Octonauts kinda like Cacartoon or Factual fantasy!

The others will be made soon enough but please be patient!

[chickengoldnuggets2]

[chickengoldnuggets2]

[chickengoldnuggets2]

Dude i just discovered your octonauts redesigns and now im actually in love with them theyre so cool 😭😭

thank you sm!! reading this brightened me up. i like character design and i like octonauts

[chickengoldnuggets2]

I have come back and I offer you this please accept it

[chickengoldnuggets2]

i wondered how the stunts pulled off in the show by the chibi octonauts would look in my gijinka/humanesque/redesign style. no barnacles that totem pole to the steering wheel is not gonna work, you're like 400 pounds(when factoring humanoid variable) and you're gonna crush your poor crewmates

this is just SO hilarious to think about 😭 and i drew that one totem pole dashi, tweak, and paani did from that fireant episode

[chickengoldnuggets2]

I just wanted to tell you that I REALLY love your paani art... it's so.. yumyumyum

(The silly idiot hydromonkey <33)

TYSM we are very lucky he is most likely my favorite character. silly monkey. also this inspired me to make more paani art so im posting this along with this ask

[chickengoldnuggets2]

mysterious pirate past amirite 😼

also I've not been interacting much cause I've been feeling down lately, but those are my own issues to cease

I'm having a little trouble drawing Captain Barnacles in a way that he actually looks like a bear, could you give me some tips on how to make him look more like one?

okay sorry about the messiness of this guide because i realized i actually didn't really know how to draw barnacles in my style and i took a few days to figure it out. my best advice for drawing the octonauts so that they look like their respective animal is to draw studies of that animal. the best way to learn is to learn yourself! (also i added a stylization step but tbh that's a whole nother can of worms)

but I'll share some tips cuz i think this is really interesting:) (also im not attacking people who don't draw realistic animals for the octonauts, esp if most of their choices are stylistic ones. this is just if you wanna draw a realistic bear)

- when i see barnacles fanart, a big thing i notice is that his face is quite large on his head. bears have pretty small faces compared to the size of their heads! in fact, a defining feature for bears ARE their spherical heads and long necks but small ears, eyes, and muzzles. you'll see what i mean if you look at the photos.

- also. let's be honest. polar bears are very bulky. there's barely any sharp angles in polar bears, but they do have a lot of muscle. i think this one is pretty obvious but its also the #1 thing to consider when drawing a realistic bear

those r just the things i wanted to say. i highly recommend you do studies of polar bears, cuz i can only give ya so much. but thanks for this ask, i like helping ppl and character design is fun!

PAANI TIME

[chickengoldnuggets2]

i heart th de character design

but hair is SOO HARD

Just as a curiosity lol, and if I may, but what's your view on other ships (I'm guessing you're fine with ships because you drew Paani x Dashi (which is very adorable btw, I love them sm ;w; . . . and your Dashi is gorgeous SOB)) ? Are there any other ships you enjoy and why, or just them? ^w^

Also, have a screenshot of them that I think is actually beautiful - the colors are so yummy, Dashi looks so happy, and Paani is so chill 🥺

Sorry if I'm rambling lol - I just think you're really cool and have a very beautiful artstyle and make wonderful octo-art 👉👈

NO UR GOOD!! I LIKE RAMBLY ASKS LIKE THIS!! and i love love dashi thank you for complimenting her design coz she's my life :]

i love that screenshot too, dashi is just so sweet and it looks like she's looking directly at paani while he spaces out

but here's some ships i enjoy :]

ryla and pearl came to my mind like a crane carrying a baby in a sack in its beak and i just think their personalities and vibes compliment each other greatly (sorry not sorry pearls husband)

twazii i began to like because i read like two fics on wattpad that had tweak and kwazii's relationship centered in the plot that had me clutching my temples. sometimes i still see their relationship like a friendship between two rowdy outcast students in different grade levels that made its way into adulthood

90% of the time i don't ship the octonauts crew with each other, it's usually them w/ an octoagent or octoagent and octoagent. but my views on ships change a whole lot depending on how I'm feeling so thats flexible. and it's also because I'm aroace and I'm conflicted with the way i ship characters. usually once I'm familiar with them i tend to prefer close platonic friendships over romantic relationships (although the line between the two is practically a gradient)

but i also still like dashi x paani i think they're really sweet,,,,

sooner or later ill give my opinion on specific ships like dashton and kwaso but again. really close friends :D
