One of which is a potential "Solar-Flare 2.0" avatar. Considering I already did a redesign for the version of them that belongs in Project S00T (Ending up as Subject 7), the idea of this would be leaning towards the original design/tsams-iconic look of them.

Hey, Thanks!

You can find the Large Jester (and any other models I make) on a handful of sites like Gumroad, Payhip, and Sketchfab.

I've set up a Linktree that links to all of them!

I'm finally modeling an updated version of my main sona!

It's been a while since last I posted here. And I've been drawing still since then! So it's about time we catch up!

November

A good chunk of this started off pretty experimental. I'm leaving out a lot of the figure practices (Random humanoid figures and pages of hand sketches), though I will show one of my favorite experiments with some odd anatomy.

Afterwards, it was on to doodling down some new avatar ideas. The first ended up becoming The Simple Sillies. While the second one is currently being worked on.

This next part is a character I drew up as an experiment for a specific trend of character design I was seeing and wanting to draw myself. Which ended up becoming a character I was fixated on for at least a little while.

I really want to model him at some point.

I decided to push my boundaries a bit and do a fully rendered piece using them. Which exposed a lot of my flaws. Alongside a realization that how I was drawing them didn't feel as good as the original reference. So I went back to study it and mess with their design some.

This blends over into-

December

With more reference-style doodling to get the head and fluff shape closer to how I wanted it to look and feel.

I was pretty happy with it, so I decided to do a more 'rendered' style doodle with them. Only coloring a specific glow I wanted this time around. (I definitely made their head fluff a little too big here)

Then once again, I go into avatar concepting. Playing with the idea of a Hooded Jester to make into an avatar later on. As an addition to my Customizable Jesters

And to end off this month, a few general sketches. One "I really want to draw a jester" piece. And one "I'm bored, away from home, and have my tablet with me" sheet.

This was honestly a very sudden project for me. In terms of my idea for them came just about a week or two before I finished and released my last project [FNAF 1 - New Dawn]

For the most part, I based him off a character I built during a modded Vintage Story run I was playing at the time. Which I honestly loved enough to start concepting out as his own character!

(I do want to add his clothes eventually, though for now I got his base body built)

A few weeks of work later and he's done! And I'm honestly really happy with how he's turned out!

Bonus Lore section [Project S00T]

This is one of the few models of mine that I actually got the personality and lore set well before I started modeling him. Actually working him into my Project Soot world. Which has been helping a ton with fleshing out the world a bit more!

Visually, he is pulling quite a bit from concepts I've made for a Pixl redesign. Though I still want to use that redesign, I've more or less embraced that and built him out as a scrapped/older model [7] of Pixl's robotic body. Given its own personality [I will explain that on a future post]

And yesterday, I started concepting my next project.

I swear I'm taking a break in between these.

This project tool a lot longer than I expected. Mostly due to getting busy half way through, but I'm really happy with how this avatar turned out!

In terms of performance ranking, this avatar is more optimized than the Customizable Jesters!

Just like with the Customizable Jesters, this avatar comes with Hueshift features exclusive to the paid variants. (AVM, Gumroad, Payhip).

You can find them here!

For about the past week or so, I've been putting an hour or two aside each day to just kinda doodle random stuff down. Both keeping myself pretty consistent on that + upgrading my graphics tablet!

I've honestly been really happy with each of these! Especially after (seemingly) shaking off the rust of not drawing too often in the past couple years.

Truly. I've been staring at most of these like "Where did all this skill come from" to the point I genuinely looked back to my two year old sketches to double-check how long I've drawn at this level.
