No one gonna talk about the absolutely stellar story that Sam came up with for the first character?? Like I’d genuinely like to see that as a piece of media???
there’s this tv news reporter who reports on their own murders, i think Rotten Mango has covered this case but i might’ve remembered wrong lol, it’s a pretty interesting case
Agree. Sick, awesome drawings but that dress is 1990s. 1890s had corsets that came up to the bottom of the shoulder blade and would have a minimum of an upper arm flounce as a sleeve. 1930s fashions were cut on the bias so had a slinkier fit and required straps.
Jessi has more of a 1920s-1950s look rather than Victorian but her design and Zaeynan’s is amazing Sam did a great job at making them villains it’s amazing
15:36 I could even see Zane becoming MORE dedicated to his original goal--but with a twist. Zane realizes he's been targeting the wrong thing. Instead of weapons, he should be targeting the greedy corporations who make them. 'Weapons will never cease to be made so long as there are people still willing to use them.' So, Zane starts assassinating the CEOs of each rival company and anyone who takes their place, until they're too scared and disorganized to re-group, and he can buy the company and run it the way HE wants to. And with each company he acquires, he turns their weapons against his next target. His competitors realize his plan and team up to fight back, encouraging an arms race between them and Zane. But it's too little, too late, and once Zane kills all the company heads and owns them all, he's free. Free to dismantle all every weapon they or he has ever made and used. And once he does, he is vulnerable to revenge from the co-workers and relatives of those he killed. And with his mission complete and no weapons to protect him from their furious hands, Zane falls.
I just wanna say Sam your art has inspired me to draw more. I stopped for a long time and was convinced my art sucked. Thx for making me love my art more
I LOOVE how you just ad-libbed the whole story of Jessie, and when you draw her eyes and face (brilliantly, I might add) we already feel all that drama inside her! You got mad skill, dude. In storytelling too.
I love how this video highlights the importance of having a rich story behind your characters, especially villains. And turning heroes into villains adds a depth to the villain that a lot of people wouldn't otherwise think about. Villains and heroes are just people! And people have both good and bad in them. It's their choices that earn them their titles.
like seeing more people actually giving their OCs stories, seen a lot of OCs that are pretty flat story wise, tends to detract from the character, and it really shows when people consider the story in the design, adds depth and makes ppl sonsider the details, 10/10 woop woop
Same! A lot of backstories are just about some type of trauma, and there's no development of any sort. It's, as you said, flat. I really liked the backstories that Sam came up with. They actually had depth to them, and that showed in the character.
The way you come up with the backstories for these characters so easily and add things to the composition that align with the character's personality in such creative ways amazes me EVERY TIME! I don't know how you do it man, how do you get so creative with these? I loved both character's stories that you did and I really wish I can get to that level of creativity someday.
Both of them look so cool in their own way. And i never knew how someone draws in this style like explained in a way. Because you get to see step by step how he does it. I like this drawing style a lot. But also, i think i connect more woth the deaddly victorian british style or this particular old fashion classy style. Feels so classy yet can hold so many dangerous secrets. I like the steam punk a lot too, i mean he looks amazing, but her style has my heart.
4:59 When I saw that Sam was looking at my OC, I got really nervous (different username on here compared to discord)! This is an OC design I’m still playing around with a bit, so I wasn’t sure what he was going to say. Even though my OC was not picked, it really made my day when Sam said he really liked the sword design! So thank you so much Sam and great video as always!❤
JESSE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. The drawing captures the essence of how villainous she is (is that a word?) while still showing her physical beaufty forms. Her back story is so amazing, so I liked her over the other one.
i used to use kooleen and when i switched to samdoesarts my art literally has never been the same. i would never improve bc of kooleen. it looks so much better now :) thanks samdoesarts
Beautiful art and stories 🤩🤩🤩( the style of clothes that the first character wears are later than Victorian times tho ) anyway I enjoyed her story a lot
“There’s no way you gonna have 2 billion dollars being a crime investigator” *batman has entered the chat* 😂 Also Jessi’s backstory is eerily similar 🧐
in the first villain depiction, i love the idea of a reflection being different/revealing a hidden side of the character but the lighting being different that the subject defies physics in a way i cannot overlook. was this an intentional choice?
4:31 they're literally the same person. also, having a backstory and incorporating a character's personality traits into just a single piece is impressive! keep it up.
I feel like for Zan he would probably have a redemption arc by getting an apprentice and right when he gets his redemption arc he dies and the apprentice takes over his story but in a good light.
Your backstories for these characters are always so complex and interesting! As someone who writes and does art, the backstories for some characters can really be so dull and monotone and I'm always so happy to hear the ones you come up with! Your ideas allow for so much story and character development, and the art is just as high quality and unique!!
I have noticed sams art decline in the amount of time and energy he puts into his drawing recently but this video was the perfect comeback! Way to go Sam!
My first impression of villain Jessi is that she would still be a detective that fell for the villain. But when she finds the guy red handed, she helps him get rid of any evidence and becomes his partner in crime. But the attention seeking Jessi is great too.
sam this was amazing i only watched the first character for now but like wow the story is amazing like i don't understand how you came up with that so easily and the art wow she looks amazing the blood looks amazing everything is just amazing just wow
This is exactly why I'm subscribed. Bro doesn't just make characters, he makes entire stories and lore. At this point, he should be called the master of characters-
I would love to see these two in a story together. I imagine he wouldn't like her very much, but she offers him a deal he can't refuse, and they work to together to commit their evil doings. They'd have a fun dynamic.
Woow! They're both nice drawings and fun stories, but the second one is straight flames. I'm a sucker for mechanical elements, a big frickin weapon arm is always going to be insanely cool and fun to look at and the little green accents to suggest his eyes are maybe biomechanical as well with the face plates.. and the hair and accessories.. it all comes together and looks so so good! awesome video as always Sam, always nice to see you just sit down and do a painting :D
5:23 sam casually pulling out all his beserck storytelling knowledge to come up with the most magnificent concept of a character that I would most definitely watch and or read
In my opinion there were more interesting OCs in your discord-server than those you picked up, but dude its incredible how you turned them into villains. Its so cool, its so creative, its just genius.

that cracked me up :sob: but god the art is fantastic
Why am I so damn invested in these characters???? And why is Sam so good at character design/building/archs/development/everythingggggg!!!!????
I think, Sam do the things with passion. Because when you are passionate, you dive deep into it and that makes your results gone brilliant.❤
Sam is so good at making up stories about the villains
12:56 I love/hate how Jessi is looking into her mirror, but it also looks like the mirror version of her is looking at whoever just walked in on her 😂
Amazed at how quickly you can look at these OCs and bang out an amazing storyline. You should honestly write a webtoon
holy hell there's no way he just came up with this killer story on the spot
“You either die a hero or live long enough to see your self become the villain”

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT I’m so glad someone else saw it too 😂
On this episode of Sam becomes a crime novel author 🫢
Sam showing off his armour rendering skills that he is being practicing lately. We need more of this!
The villain arc for Zanan is so impactful!
0:08 this is the best part of the vid imo😌
I love when Sam turns friendly looking OCs into villains
i read jesse’s post in the discord (as a patreon member myself 🤞) and literally said out loud “this is going in sam’s video” 🤣

the stories were immaculate oh god. the drawing always on top, you inspire me so much🫶
id love to see villain ocs turned into heros
Missed opportunity to give Jesse a Team Rocket uniform...
Always nice to see sam descend into madness ❤
watching these videos is making me wanna create my first villain character, it seems so fun 😍
do it. they're really fun, you should try it

Zan in this version looks like "that" villain, who has more fans (and simps) than rest of cast combined. XDD

Sam's videos are such a comfort after a long stressful day
The second villain makes me think of arcane and I have no idea why
I do lowkey wanna write a novel about the first character now, the story you crafted was so. good.
The artstyles from these people are so beautiful 😭
I'm loving the second OC villain redesign. It feels like that OC got inspiration from Doomfist in Overwatch as part of his revenge arc lol
I love Zane, he looks amazing. I just wish you'd kept the first version of his nose, it had so much character.
this is incredible dude your art is insane. you're so good at colors, and I hope I can learn coloring well
i used to use kooleen and when i switched to samdoesarts my art literally has never been the same. i would never improve bc of kooleen. it looks so much better now :) thanks samdoesarts
Beautiful art and stories 🤩🤩🤩( the style of clothes that the first character wears are later than Victorian times tho ) anyway I enjoyed her story a lot
Yeah it reminds me more of the 1930s than of Victorian
Just listening to Sam narrating the storyline and watching him draw absolute masterpieces is a therapy
i was sketching to this and when i looked up it was zoomed in on jessi's face in the mirror 😭 had a heartattack lol
Oh no 😅
can we have more SamDoesStoryTime? this was top tier
