#phizzuroh

In August, I challenged myself to draw 32 of my original characters -- at least once each, but some I drew multiple versions of in pencil then retouched in CSP. I can only fit a few favorites on tumblr, but the full collection of sketches can be found in this Twitter thread, in my Ko-fi Gallery, and here on my ArtStation.

These are the same characters that I used to debut my Character Portfolio in October. An overview of each character with links to their profiles and art can be found here: https://colacanvas.com/2020/10/31/oc_tober-2020-recap/

The full collection of sketches can be found in this Twitter thread, and here on my ArtStation.

This isn’t the usual format for this meme from twitter, but the best way I can measure my own growth is comparing art of my OCs -- most which were created this past decade.

First three for the humans (or human-like, since all of them are pokemon gijinka aha--), and then the last three for non-human designs -- and a pokemon that happens to be human-like LMAO. Seems everything from my lines, colors, forms/shapes and "polish" has gradually shifted to the style I have now, and I'm happy w/ the improvement

None are from 2019 cuz most of my '19 art feature OCs/designs that didn't exist a decade ago, and the most that had changed was a new, crisper lining brush from CSP. Hopefully I'll have something worth redrawing from 2010 to make it a direct comparison, but I hope this works for now!

Next is a mini spam dump thread of some WIPs and unfinished stuff that I remembered exists 8') Most… actually all of them from last year, and that I'm not quite sure if I'll be inclined to finish later haha. But trying to be less restrictive about what I share here. Details below the cut!

Shares some stuff I did for fun while borrowing a couple of @crowscorner‘s OCs / o/ Some feral designs for Altan's and Breia's chimera forms, w/ a bit of input from Jinkz too! Also some bonus doodles to display their scale, kinda, featuring my characters Zuro and Rosco (& a smol kitty!Sol, who also belongs to Jinkz)

Just to be clear tho, I didn't draw those gijinka chibis, that artwork is by Jinkz! I just used them as a ref + scale while working on their feral forms, for her to use or adjust as she'd like o)9 You can find more of Jinkz's OC refs on her completed character roster up on her art twitter!

Ya’ll I can’t tell you how frICKEN HAPPY I AM to have finally completed this!

My character Phizzuroh ("Zuro") is among one of my earliest online OCs, even prior to reviving him as a gijinka/human for devART groups. But ever since his creation he has always had a feral dragon form -- that of an Amphisbaena, a desert-dwelling, ant-eating dragon with a second head on its tail.

However, the last time I drew a reference for Zuro’s feral design was back in 2011! He's been overdue for a glow-up since then, and aside from a few notable tweaks to his markings and colors, his design remains essentially the same.

UPDATE: What started as a cooldown doodle became an overdue headshot update for Zuro’s gijinka form /o/ Been nearly 4 year since drawing him like this too, so it was nice to recall how to draw him properly aha.

So @koolaid-girl shared some really neat guides for designing demon characters, based on how they appear from her awesome webcomic Living When Dead.

/clutches chest I love these two... so much...

S-sexy– omg Anon sdjflkdsf WELL UH… that would be Zuriah, although she’s actually the female genderbend of my idjit dragon gijinka OC, Zuro. This is how he normally appears (sorta):
