Skullie's Dream

Final Good Enough Skullie Ref, for real this time!

I've wanted to experiment with my work for a while, so I made characters and put them into photos I found online. I'll try my best to cite the images properly!

I'm almost done with a commission I've had for over 3 months, time for a celebration fusion!

My first attempt to study the Prof. Layton art style. This is something I wanted to do since I was a kid, so getting around to it now feels amazing! Wish I had a better idea of how to do so efficiently, though...

I even did a version where I did a faux compression effect on the image, but I suppose the better action is to work on a smaller canvas. Also, I have a habit of adding more lines than necessary to certain designs due to a lack of confidence, so I'll be working on that next! c:

To help make more frequent uploads, I decided to post WIPs of my characters/projects, hopefully making an interesting timeline for my development process. Keep in mind that these are part WIP and part art studies, so I will make note of my references in my desc.

Here is my first attempt at drawing one of my characters from an original fiction project. Nowhere near her final design, but a good start at figuring her out, I used Nausicaa and Fio from Studio Ghibli as references.

Iona Fontaine is the main character in my story, Flight of the Dragonfly. She is an acrobatics pilot turned gunner ship pilot for hire by people looking to make caravan trains through the Ætheinite Desert. I'll post more about her after some research into the influences I want her to have[i.e., cultures, professions, etc.], but I will say her overall character arc surrounds themes of forgiveness and self-acceptance.
