lol guess ill finally dunk me tootsies in this chat n see what happens

DRAW ME!

my lovely little critter Ruth

If you need any extra deets about her, everything u could possibly use should be riiiiggghhht here 🌈

(I am doing this right right? fingers crossed lmao)

hhiiiii would she prehaps tickle yer fancy?

Also a little teaser for somethin' I cant show much more it here cuz its part of a super cool n awesome event but...Im deciding to draw more than one thing in a scene now, absolutely riveting, ground-breaking feat i know i know lmao

teehee, a quick artrade with someone i know i drew a while ago...contemplaiting wether I post it properly on my NG or not lol

Im trying to loosen up with my lines again, i feel like theyve gotten a little stiff lol

mmmm the comparison is moreso related to the colour palettes n not so much the characters, but the colours remind me of great god grove , very warm coloured with greenish-orange skies the artstyle itself bares a very faint similarity with the original smile for me artstyle , base level comparison coming from simple shape usage but with much thicker lines, the fine colour abbirition of the lineart in the first image gives way to that comparison a wee bit more however lol

the style as a whole reminds me very loosley of something trying to mimic the aura of an early-mid 2010s show that aired on smth like kix but I honest to god cannot put my finger quite on what specifically comes to mind...

so for now I leave it as lol

My turn!!!

exhibit A Character designs

Exhibit B , general bit of art

(If you need any more examples come to my art page or my toyhouse gallery teehee)

Ive heard manya things before about my style, lets see if anyone here can give me smth new lol 🌈

Update: I made an attempt lol

alot of the textures are still quite buggy, not quite mirrored properly , I think i need to find a better way to optimise my sheets

whilst selecting faces in the UV editing tab, paste the front faces first, then the back faces, and maybe the side ones if necessary

I want to say its not terrible for a first attempt but... it sure as hell could be better lol

I recieved a bit of advice from a server about UV unwrapping...and i dont think this is it?? I dunno know, im still very new to this.

I was told to find the seams on the model, then unwrap it, done n dusted but, the hair model is absolutely fucked (the weird triangle mess in the bottom left corner of the UV sheet) and I have no clue what that big black square is

Im not entierly sure how I try and make a texture sheet from these reference

but like its there!!!

im lost n confused n stumblin foward lol

UV Design is my passion 😍😍😍😍😍

How on earth do i fit my uv textures to my face beforehand?? it just seems like im eyeballing what will fit n what wont trial n error style

im guessing this is NOT how you do it, id presume thered be some major lighting issues if I was to run this through unity or just...add lighting- to this

I want something like this , but I dont know how I plot it onto my model per say, im going to give it a shot whilst i wait for some more advice but i dont have a turnaround reference to reference the proportions off of, I made this from scratch n very loosely eyeballed an actual tunaround for the character

if the worst comes to the worst, im considering just scrapping the whole thing n trying again with a turnaround model sketch to boot

Uv texture design is my passion 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I only properly textured the face, no hair or nothing but goodness gracious-

How on earth do i fit my uv textures to my face beforehand?? it just seems like im eyeballing what will fit n what wont trial n error style

cuz im going to assume if put with lighting and some other things, this would cause some major issues wouldnt it? lol

Hi, dunkin my tootsies in the water here with my totally original brand new ingenious idea that i totally didn't nick from oddlem!!! A feedback thread! fingers crossed this is ok ...

So what is this feedback thread exactly? simple, its kinda like an art thread but specifically for when me, the poor damsel in distress cries out for some feedback on (insert art piece here) as I wait for my knight in shining armour to come and rescue me with the feedback I oh so desperately needed 🌈

just as a way to limit the amount of throw away mini threads asking for character vibe checks or just general advice on a certain feature, whenever the help wanted thread floats to the top, you can probably assume that I'm in need of rescuing once more lol

so, to start of this thread, im gonna ask for a little bit of help (given its alot harder to have people wriggle in to give feedback on an art thread it seems)

currently, im trying to make a low poly model, I did this without a reference (note to self: dont do that again lmao) and everythings relitavely whatever, but the hair...ive only ever made 3 models in the short time that ive picked up blender, and i DESPISE trying to make hair for characters,

heres what im lookin for I think the general shape is there but...idk...something about it feels...wrong-

(that and her nose is honestly also too small but i THINK....i know to fix that?/make it bigger?)

could someone give me a bit of feedback? here? You can see the full body model at the bottom of my thread here if you need that (or would like to give any extra tips)

🌈🌈🌈Thank you for yer time 🌈🌈🌈

yeahh i dont think youd see that from the side profile, the first time i saw that i honestly just thought he had a really big forehead

lord! thats quite a lot of missing context! lmao i think you should clarify at least some of these notes in the first post before making feedback threads

I see, i getcha tho now, I still think the legs are a bit too thick and short (primarily the one behind the front leg) and the front leg looks like its kicked just a bit too far up his bum lol i think just lengthening them should kill two birds with one stone tho as it should make the legs look less stocky

I dont know what to say about the hand/arm given that is not been drawn in yet, im guessing the characters supposed to be discussing, or arguing something to another character? the intentions are currently unclear so i cant say much in regards to that

and the head still feels rather unclear, maybe its just me, but the picture below is how im currently reading it I know the hair would swoop over a bit so it might make the facial features look a bit closer together than they normally are but I still think theres room for a little more width in the front of the face

oh dear, again your being very vauge in what you want "fixed" about this piece lol

whats the main issue here?

im spotting a few potential issues here but i dont know whats your main concern right now? ill note some things that im seein tho-

her eyebrows and both legs look really thick in the 1st drawing

said legs are also missing a line joint (for her knees)

the tips of her shoes are lined when in the main/reference pic they arent

I also dont think youd see the curve of her hair from this angle, it makes her forehead look bigger than it needs to be

that, and the sleeves of her shirt are the wrong shape.

about the head thing id probably recommend making her head just a bit wider to 1, fit her reference headshape a bit more and 2, give a little more room for her facial features to breathe

hope this doesnt come across as too rude , just thought id throw some points of interest

urggh, practicing some more 3d, trying to make a low poly model...note to self, to actually take the time to draw a rough reference for my model next time lmao , this was from scratch, with some very loose eyeballing from a ref sheet of the character

prolly gonna pop off to bed tho, got really carried away modeling this i had no idea that it was about one o clock, i dont know how long ive spent trying to model this damm thing coming to think about it lol

the hair is seriously pissing me off rn i hate trying to model hair , ive only done it twice but thats already enough for me to loathe the process entirely lmao again, dunno how many people lurk in threads but if anyone knows anything about low poly 3d modeling can i have some feedback on making/shaping the hair to the head???

Hello gamers , im quite proud of this, been a while since ive drawn like this , id like to think i still got it tho :3

Quick wip, planning to draw some detailed teeth...

ok might be a bit of a hot take here but personally, I really dislike drawing teeth, realistically or stylised, I find them to be overrated as hell like, I love talking about the details and drawing unique features on said teeth...in theory- but in practice i find drawing and lining them up to be a bit of a slog not gonna lie lol

that wont stop me from drawing them for the sake of character details but still, not really all that fun not gonna lie lol

never gonna be a full view cuz it sucks ass not gonna lie lmao but like, i drew a closeup for ruths eye for her reference, I still seriously need to get it done but i simply just havent had the time lol alotta other things came up art wise then i forgot for a bit, gotta slap myself n actually get these damm things done im sick n tired at looking at her old ref right now

I need her (n bissy) nice n updated so i can finally blow my money dammit lmao

Litteral gigachad willingly jumps in the starvoid because shes bored and mogs everyone and everything in the alien forest just because shes that girl 💅🏻

ooo wee mama its just sooo cyyuutteee!!! 😋😍😍😍🌈😍🌈🌈🌈😍

And now for another kick to the teeth VERY NICELY OF COURSE- 😍😍😍😍🌈🌈🌈🌈

feeling cute tonight, might draw my fave baby and her toxic yuri partner

listening to the most painfully joyful and whimsical music imaginable whilst I drew this like holy shit

I felt like i was about to explode rainbows out of my chair and fly in the sky with puppies and lollipops

how the hell do you put so much unadulterated sugary joy in one song it genuinely hurts a little bit im so happy it hurts lmao

Never figured out either of those things I wouldnt say but I tried lmao

throwing a quick curveball artstyle wise because I crave for variety

Dear liberals...how the FUCK do you draw Asian people??

or lips lmao, i hate drawing lips when trying to draw somewhat realisticly

and also

what do you call a hairstyle like this? the character to the side of this headshot is the character in question but...idk what kinda style of hair she has im very adamant about the little flicks at the end of her hair lol

rughhhh new arttt, ratins arent doing too fresh as of recent which is a bit of a bummer lol but we push foward

probably doesnt help that I feel strangely rusty recently lol not quite satisfied in myself at this given moment trying to loosen up with my lines and stuff again

A little heehee, and a little giggle. dare I say...a very trustworthy fellow I assure you :D

Ok so like...its still not finished but, his linearts been cleaned up n i roughly threw on his clothes n a splash of colour, by any means dose this help in any regards? I honestly dont see much of a difference to be fair, it raises alota questions about how im gonna add his necklace on without distrupting the flow of his figure and fixing up his coat sleeves lol, but nothing really about his suspect vibes i wouldnt say

Ah you see here, in his old/current ref he dose indeed have perfect teeth lol Im glad someone seems to have taken note about the teeth though,

I was considering playing around with the tooth-gap cuz someone drew art of him once with a tooth gap for some reason, idk why but it really stuck with me lol

In my concept redesigns I got of him he still has the gap, it adds character but... honestly so dose the plain teeth lol your right, especially given his current whereabouts/living conditions something there just doesnt add up: His coat n clothes are a bit dusty n worn out his skins all sorts of diseased yet his hair is clean and his teeth are unusually good (minus the radioactive green tint)

ill certainly reconsider the teeth bit lol because I have been second guessing myself about it for that reason (and also because I fear it distrupts his face in a weird way lol)

Another vibe check thread woo yeah ✨

I come bearing a few questions for me character

1. (the main question) Would you trust him?
2. If yes, how would I make him more suspicious?

and 3. What hand pose looks better A or B?

That is all lol 🌈

Made a little moodboard for my college project, always one of the first things we do is make a moodboard, I want bright overstimulating joyus colours and patterns all over, still finding it a little hard to properly piece all my current thoughts together but I think this is a somewhat decent layout to reference at the moment

wip for a little extra drawing for the ref sheet, slow and on hold cuz of college work but like...heres a bissy lol drawing him happy (for once) with his beloved pet rat cornflake, to help contrast with his moody n miserable face seen throughout the rest of the ref sheet

Its still vey rough but i feel like his pose is a bit stiff...not sure though...anyone else potentialy lurkin here have any thoughts?

gonna be real, thats still quite vauge lol but luckily I see theres a little extra context from when vinity chimed in, im sure shes probably said a majority of the things youd need to do to achieve a more UPA esque style, but yeah

Id recommend using a lasso tool to block out simple shapes for things such as trees and clouds, and maybe just some simple square tools (with some tilting) to get the basepoint for the buildings

Id also keep the gradients and the lineart to a minimum, only using that to block out things like windows or defining lines

for the most part ur thinking in simple, geometric shapes, with some slight slants to add a bit of cartoonish flare to said elements

((sorry for late reply, was at college lol))
