Hey! My name is Bubbs, I am a comic artist, and I like to hear myself talk. Not sure what my plans are for this channel right now, but I plan to do many art-related things soon as I continue to experiment with new projects and art mediums!
Feel free to hang out. :)

A Sleep-Deprived Statement (it's nothing bad I swear)
I know that a black-video-and-thumbnail on your sub feed is usually a bad thing, but it's actually just a sleepy addressing of some recent channel happenings. The latest sub milestone is CRAZY, and I also wanted to talk about some comments fron my last video...

5 Character Design Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner

Hey! So, , I have seen some feedback from people who think that my art and character design is pretty good. I have ALSO seen a comment or two specifically asking for advice on how to draw like me, and while I can't make anybody draw exactly like me, I thought it would be nice to make a little video with tips between larger uploads!

I liked an old piece of art so much that I thought to do it again! Hooray! I really like how it turned out, and I hope you do too. This is an unofficial sequel to the first public video I have up right now. It is not required viewing, but it might give you some context. #art #artist #originalcharacter #oc #speedpaint #speedpaintdigitalart

I, for no reason at all, thought it would be pretty fun to revisit some of my really old original characters and give them a fresh coat of paint. I had a lot of fun, and I hope you do too if you join me for the ride! I am kind of new to making long form videos, so I hope this turned out okay!

averleigh- just a bully, likely an early antagonist that may join the group (also something seems... off?) mayor whitlock- seems friendly but their job is partly to lie, they seem old likely giving them the knowledge on how to lie clarence- seems friendly but a touch sinister agent delta- likely investigating the disappearance of the raincoat girl, i see them being an antagonist, but not a villain (also NB as fuck looking from that angle tbh) toll man- seems similar to clarence, but taller, wider, and more villain like, "the tollman" makes me think that theyd take a 'toll' on you, maybe being your life... i see clarence saving the main character from the toll man as she walks up to it in her naivety, maybe even dying in the process mr atbash- seems like a PE teacher or some clout hungry vlogger, trampling the group in the desire for their own foolish goals, hurting them in the process by taking advantage of them... only to become a cautionary tale (also looks scarily similar to the mayor, likely being twins/ siblings, atbash causing the scar the mayor has to this day after dragging him on one of his foolish treks through the forest when he was younger, the mayor may have sent delta to find their little brother) sombra- seems to be faking being welcoming, not a villain but a character the party deals with, they look like a gambler or a deal maker, after being forced to rely on the deals made by sombra the party finds themselves in danger in a future story... protagonists: witlock grey area: clarence, delta, temporary antagonists: averleigh, atbash(not much to get off the design tbh), antagonists: atbash (hard to tell sry),tollman (?) EVIL >:[ tollman/ sombra
One thing, not to be annoying or condescending but humans are actually top of the food chain not because of our big brains but because we’re literally the best endurance hunters on the planet. Loads of species are faster than us, but we can run the longest. So to say we suck by an evolutionary standpoint isn’t entirely fair
I abrahamic imagery used in some kind of fictional setting then I click subscribe
Third one is the closest any artist ever got to accidentally drawing me, tho i have long hair
I AM DISTRACTED BY THE LITTLE THING I ALREADY LOVE IT
I AM SO INTRIGUED I love your artstyle!!
Trope 4 sexual dimorphism CAN BE DONE WELL, it just isn't in a lot of media and I FEEL your pain with it
Oh lawd she's been burned.
Sorry for a 2nd comment, but from what ive seen, the Deltarune communiy is decent at the whole none mammal monsters not be given boobs when they are girls despite it not being canon. An example is all the Berdly comics about him not having nipples/pecks, and from what I've seen most times Noelle is the one with boobs, aka the deer girl, a mammal themed monster.
got it, ill start trying to practice and use more eye shapes, lip sizes, variety in weigh and body, and try different clothing types and materials
LIAR
17:23 I agree SO MUCH! I love speculative biology. The Birren is amazing, along with Serina, World of Birds. These are very cool.
This comment is designed to boost you in the algorithm, good luck my friend
I'm definitely tired of the sexism in creatures. Like there's a cool bipedal monster design with: tail, claws, teeth, etc. There is a chest for males, but its just kinda there. . . It blends in with the monster design. For females it feels like the chest becomes THE defining feature. The breast stands out from the rest of the design, and maybe colored differently to 'high light' it. If the creator doesn't do it, then I've seen it in fan art. -_- Demons can be exceptions if succubus is included. Succubus are female demons who seduce men. Which the woman demon you showed from Clash of Heroes is a succubus from what I remember. Been a hot minute since I thought of that game. I enjoyed the game play I went through it twice. :D Oooo, I do like me some biology.
this is my first time seeing this channel and i love the morse code on your shirt LOL
Tollman
5:55 Well maybe if you fed me more I wouldn't have to steal, these children in your basement aren't fleshy enough.
4TH ONE IS LITERALLY ME
3rd one looks like me lolll
Lollll fr
Nope
Doom eternal demon mentioned YEAAA 15:33
tbf with trope five, if an organism is a scavenger or an apex predator, why would it ever NEED to evolve intelligence. one of the theories as to why we evolved intelligence is that BECOUSE we were / are shit at existing we were forced to evolve intelligence to not die. it's entirely possible that the only niche that COULD evolve intelligence is the shitty endurance-based pack hunters. and if intelligent aliens are in the same niche as us, they would be more likely to evolve humanoid characteristics (sweat, interpersonal relationships, coelom, hunter gather gender roles, back pain, etc)
This is honestly a very interesting perspective, not gonna lie! As I even said, our getting smarter than the other guys is what allowed humans to get ahead, so it's entirely possible that beings who relied more on brawn than brains wouldn't bother putting all the energy into evolving those brains (and humans really only were able to do it because we invented cooking, lol). That being said, I have seen plenty of examples of aliens that ARE supposed to fall into the apex predator kind of niche that are presented as highly intelligent, so its kind of a moot point when it comes to the trope, haha.
THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS??
O R B
Trope: draw womas with small boobs end Men with big chests 😈😈😈😈
"if you are listening to me yap right now you are either using the internet, or you`re in my walls..." me as the rat in their walls that i am "GANG WEVE BEEN FOUND SCATTER"
I complained about trope 3 so much glad I’m not the only one 😭
17:15 You should really check out some of the speculative evolution project, such as Serina or The Yaetuan Sagas. You can find there alien species that are sentient but are not humanoid, and I love it!
As far as trope 2 goes, some people draw flatties with booba because if they draw the cannonical version, they get accused of being a pedo and drawing loli stuff and those accusations can hurt their commission marketability. It ends up being a damned if you do damned if you dont thing. If you give a flatty character boobs, you are a "male gayz" evil misogynist and if you draw small chest characters with small chests, you are suddenly a lolicon. . .
Alrighty, this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time I have seen this kind of argument, and... no? As I said in the video, I spend plenty of time in NSFW art spaces, and I've never seen this happen even once. I follow artists that have frequent appearances of flat-chested fem characters and no one has ever accused them of this, nor has it hurt their business. There are lots of ways to make a grown ass woman look like a grown ass woman without giving her boobs. Plus, if this is genuinely a thing that is happening, then this is VERY obviously an issue of infantilizing small-chested women in general considering no one seems to have an issue with erotic content of skinny, small, twinky guys, but that's a different problem for a different day. Now, even IF this was the case, there is absolutely no reason that giving the character boobs has to mean giving the characters MASSIVE bodoinkers, which was what my main gripe was in the video. I'm not talking about a theoretical case where artists give a little booby to avoid baseless accusations, I am talking about making planky characters the bustiest figures in fan depictions, in AND out of NSFW-specific art, so this argument doesn't really soothe my annoyance with this trend. Also, again, as I said in the video, maybe just don't draw the characters that are canonically flat-chested? Tada! No damned if do, damned if you don't scenario anymore, cos you aren't warping the features of a pre-existing character to FIT the male gaze. Seriously, if you are afraid of accusations like that, why would you be drawing sexual fanart of character that has a supposedly more "kiddish" appearance in the first place? Or, better yet, why would you be drawing a character from a kid's cartoon? That, on the other hand, I HAVE seen people get very upset about. I do not at all support the gross l*lli crap that people try to pass as art. Not one bit. However, I think most people can tell the difference between that garbage and art of a fully grown but small-chested person, and let's not insult our collective intelligence, alright?
Regarding aliens, while my fictional alien species is pretty much just a meatless blob (for lore reasons, it's because of massive pressure in the homeland, so they just be like blobfish), they can use waste material to build their body (they absorb fruit and flowers since their bodies can't dissolve meat and they have no mouths). This allows them to fully customize their body to their liking. This includes appendages that take the function of limbs and/or weapons and 'hair' which is just an alternative of dealing with overgrowth. They are biologically agender and reproduce via mitosis and fully melting upon death. Corpses cannot undergo mitosis.
Your take on the reptilian anthro characters was awesome! The reason my OC (who is a mix of multiple reptiles) has a defined chest area is that she works out A LOT, so she has muscles for days and therefore has defined pectorals while also having defined muscles everywhere else as well so that she isn't imbalanced. It's refreshing to listen to someone who shares the same wave of thinking!
Star Trek has an interesting in-universe explanation for the number of humanoids which is that there was an ancient race that seeded their genetic material across the galaxy and that lead to humanoids everywhere.
Cool! Gross, but cool!
OMG THE THIRD ONE WAS ACTUALLY ME
OMG HAHAHHAHA SORRY I MISHEARD IT AS "TIED" AND WAS SURPRISED THAT HE ACTUALLY MADE IT 😅😅😅😅
Tldr Make them an eldrich horror
This is probably something that’s been mentioned in these comments a lot already but I think exaggerating the “humans but blue” thing can lead to some great comedy in the way that Homestuck does. Where the trolls are so egregiously similar to humans that they even have the exact same celebrities, movies, books, and tv shows, and the only difference is that they’re gray and have orange horns, Troll Will Smith will never not be funny.
I thought I heard cult of the lamb music
Did she survive...? Pleaseeeeee 😭😭😭
Cute!!!
Did he at least feel bad about it all? Is there any guilt this man feels for this?
I have many thing to say: 1. HENRY STICKMIN MENTIONED 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥 (but seriously tho i love that series) 2. Trope 1: same body syndrome is seen a lot in different cartoons, anime, and even art, it's just something thats easy to do, and cheap to make 3. trope 2: ... all i have to say about that is, "blame the gooners" 4. trope 3: SAMMEEEE!! I read a... embarrassing amount of manga/webtoons and the sounds for things that don't make sounds (Idk if that makes sense) 5. trope 4: I HATE IT TOO!!! WHY IS THE "big hunky guy" a dumb brawn over brains, but the woman a "mary sue" (perfect woman) like???? (also, I'm from tumblr so i have a accent in writing/ I have a font in writing) 6. Trope 5: yes. there have been SOME attempts at making aliens that aren't human-like, but they boil-down to either "weird octopus alien guy" or a animal that we already have, but bigger. (yes it's a simpsons reference with the aliens) 7. trope 6: its just for horny people, nothing else. no, people don't study biology just for horny stuff. i've seen horny snake stuff with boobs, so thats something. (I do not have ANY shame.) ok bye-bye, *WarPixeler outro*
22:35 warframe does this ok, in that almost everything in the setting is actually a descendent of humanity, and the two or three things that arent get WEIRD. And for later the explanation as to why argonians have boobs is kinda funny. Basically the sentient trees that made them saw men and elves and copied their body plan to make it easier for the argonians to socialize when necessary.
Wholeheartedly agree. Speculative biology is one of my favorite parts of worldbuilding, especially when the natural environment and selective pressures can get really weird really quickly. It’s a shame more people don’t appreciate that level of complexity in character and species design.
5:40 not all body types are like that. i have adhd and autism and am extremely shy but i still have a muscular body. just because their personality isn't their design. that doesn't mean its a bad design/body design
I know this. I was mostly trying to throw out some examples that show how easy it can be to identify which characters could be used to add in some body diversity; it can be as simple as making a character with a big presence physically bigger or a character with a smaller presence physically smaller. It can also be great to do the opposite where the bigger character has the smaller presence of the smaller character has the bigger presence, whether it be for comedy, story-telling, or just because you think it looks neat.
if a characters arm is weird and 'bad anatomy' is just a art style thing and you shouldn't complain about that. i got 'critism' (hate) because i drew arms 'bad' (my style). this includes hands arms and feet
