No way people are complaining about “unrealistic body standards” for characters with literal horns, wings, cat ears, tails, and etc sticking out of them from every direction. Give me a break.
WDYM? Your OCs SCREAM CIRCUS. They can be from a magic circus that fakes being a normal circus so they have to constantly explain that all they make are just illusions when in reality its pure magic lol You could make a almost unemployed detective as well that is always investigating them trying to prove they do magic and stuff idk but they HAVE to be from a circus c'mooon
Hahaha omg that sounds sooo cool 😭 I thought about a circus because their color pallet and design would work with that really well, but then I though it would be too complicated to build a world around that because a circus is usually constantly moving from place to place so their entire stories would have to unfold within and revolve around this circus , so that’s why I didn’t decide on a circus 🤧
@@KryjovnikArt but I think you are not looking to make webtoon or stuff right? just a basic background story could work. Unless you decide to make a webtoon out of it or something, then it would be more difficult to follow the cisrcus trope. I'm still depressed u gave up on the cirus idea tho u could make it like a howls moving castle but a circus and if you ever decided on a webtoon/ animation/book/novel it could be a "violet evergarden" kind of idea where every ep is a different story in a different place so that would make it easier to keep it going with the different locations and stuff. OR they could be locked in a city until the investigation against them drops off ifk hope you choose circus
I absolutely find your oc’s adorable also the lore. Going to save all your tutorials in hope to improve and create a oc myself. Hope you having are a wonderful day.
You as an artist do NOT have the responsibility of drawing plus size or realistic body types! companies do as they are the ones who control the media, yes it is nice to see characters who look like you- ie a chubby person seeing a chubby character, especially when they're portrayed in a positive light! but that isn't your responsibility! you aren't making a game or making a show, you're just a person and these are YOUR characters!
Oooh MY GOODNESS!!! I'm being serious, why is UA-cam unfair to me. Your OCs looks so cool!!! Aaagrh!! I was waiting so long for you to upload only to miss it. Alas, at least kween gave us some bootiful characters to look at. luv ur art Valerie!! Bless you! (The frog is cute)
1.) I will now be asking people which came first the name or the OC 2.) I have the exact same problem with having too many and too few ideas 3.) For whatever reason my first thought when I saw Quinton I thought of Alex Fierro from Magnus Chase by Rick Riordan (I think it might be the hair) (but I love both) 4.) I love all the designs all lore
I have absolutely dreadful seasonal allergies and it feels like I'm dying each spring/summer... oh, and oral allergy syndrome from birch, grasses, and alder.. it's the most annoying thing!
Ok this is a topic that I've observed closely for a hot minute. I kinda wanna know if this is weirdo behavior or if it's ok (asking in a youtube comment section might not be the wisest choice but I rarely see this talked about so here I go) I'm a (queer) man, so I'll start by stating the obvious: I have never lived a female experience. I really strive to draw women in a way that is not sexualised. I'm not against sex, art is subjective, everybody should be able to express themselves as long as they don't hurt anybody. But the last thing I want is a straight man gooning over my art. That's not the audience I want. And the way I try to avoid that has been by showing less skin when not necessary. Drawing practical armor where the chest isn't exposed so that you can see their boobs. Not drawing them in heels if they're fighters and have to be steady on their feed and stuff like that. The internet is already saturated with this kind of stuff and I don't want the women I draw to be sex objects for the male gaze. I don't want to shy away from drawing sexy characters all together (women included), but I want to do that in a way that is respectful. I need to understand what that means and what it looks like. Thoughts? Am I doing bare minimum? Am I doing too much? Am I just a big weirdo?
@@daanvleeming988 oh yeah, lineart for sure For example in the 3rd one , lineart took 12 hours out of 21.5 hours total , and in the chibi one it was 6h out of 10 total ( that is all lineart with the hair rendering)
Looks like she has a really good understanding of value. So on a layer with the flat colour (which is a dark grey for black hair) hidden puts down her darkest shadows in places the light doesn’t hit and gradients it to places left clear for the lightest spaces - I’d guess that’s probably put on a multiply layer or coloured a darker shade of the hair colour. Its definitely a rendering workflow I haven’t seen a lot of though, so my guess might well be wrong
@@delta981 Wow, what a coincidence. After sleeping on it and thinking about it a little more, I decided to try out that exact method right as you sent me this comment. 😅 Edit: It seems to be working so far. At least it’s working a lot better than my previous method lul.
I have several allergies, but the ones that affect me the most are 4, first: I have a cat, but I'm allergic to her fur, and I keep sneezing around her; second: I'm allergic to soaps and cleaning products, so I have to spend more money on products; Third: I am allergic to dust, like dust and pollen, and it is horrible, because I love flowers, but I can't smell them or my body gets really itchy and I start sneezing. And lastly, I am allergic to certain fabrics, so I have to choose the clothes I buy carefully, it is difficult, but I can deal with it.

What takes you the longest in the process, the line art?

For example in the 3rd one , lineart took 12 hours out of 21.5 hours total , and in the chibi one it was 6h out of 10 total ( that is all lineart with the hair rendering)
Also, do you have any tips for shading and highlighting black hair? I don’t know if I’m just tweaking or if it’s really supposed to be this hard. 😩
