Winger Wind

Thank you @wassup-its-e for urging me to draw quicker….it still didn’t work BUT AT LEAST I MADE SOMETHING. Don’t look too close because this is so messy 😭 I hope I did your sona justice he is very cool

At least the pose is fun (even though it makes no sense). Also, looking at it now, I’m realizing that the way I shaded the boob window makes it look like a white undershirt or something…sorry for the accidental censorship😔

Geminitay but make her anime style… please ignore the fact that the hands make no sense because I could not for the life of me find a reference with the right hand pose AND similar angle so I was making do with a ref from a lower eye level.

Also can someone please tell me how to simplify curly hair because I was on the struggle bus with this one.

Base color version below the cut:

A little while ago (on Twitter, I’m pretty sure) I saw this trend where artists would draw two character profiles together to show how they fit together like puzzle pieces. It looked something like the drawing below.

Recently I had the urge to draw some OC’s of mine in this pose, but being unsure of the exact formatting of the trend, I went to look it up. Unfortunately, that is when I realized that I couldn’t remember for the life of me what it was called or which of the artists I followed participated.

In case it's helpful: one version I can recall involved Carmy and Sydney from the Bear.

This exchange 😭😭😭😭

Scar with the old man emoji. Joel writing (youthful)??? Peak interaction.

(Also here’s what the text says in case you can’t read it because the quality is terrible)

Scar: I’ve been making YouTube videos for 14 years… 👴🏻

Joel: That’s ages! Wow you’re really old. Unlike me (youthful)

I cannot escape the Desert duo propaganda… This is supposed to be Third Life, but I have no idea when lol I mainly drew this to practice digital painting and it slowly began morphing into Scar and Grian.

Dipping my toes into using very saturated colors AND I THINK IT WORKED. FINALLY. AHHFHGH I FINALLY like the results. Shoutout to @applestruda and their process for giving the idea of using the stickman Procreate brush for more color variation.

uhm lighting practice with Gem I guess. What is she doing? Who knows. At the beach or something. It’s embarrassing how much every time I go to practice some new art thing it almost always turns into an MCYT someone save me the fandom you fall into during the pandemic truly doesn’t leave you-

My cycle of digital painting (and real life painting) is: find cool new tutorial (shoutout to Marco Bucci for this one). Get super excited about color. Try it myself. Fall flat on my face. ??? All jokes aside, I think I’m getting better! Maybe? To me, this looks better. Backgrounds are a work in progress.

Tango’s power is so incredibly funny to me and he ABSOLUTELY runs like Sonic. His feet do the little arc and everything. He makes a comically loud zoom noise whenever he runs. He’s fleeing! Look at him go!

SHINYDUO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS THEY ARE INSANE FOR THHIS

So…that conversation Gem and Pearl had at the start of episode 6, huh…is anybody else feeling 100% normal about them.

Because, like, Pearl is all “everything we make gets destroyed that’s how it works” or something and Gem is like, “IDK, I just got here”

Gem doesn’t really get it yet I think. She got a taste of the emotional gut punch in Secret Life but Pearl has already gone through it four times. She knows how quick everything changes and stuff…

ALSO I find it interesting how Gem references “the game”. It’s just a game huh…but the emotional wounds are very real…even if the world isn’t technically… anyways excited to see where this goes next episode.

I don’t have media literacy so I cannot put my thoughts into words but I hope I’ve conveyed my feelings at least.

About the art…well. I experimented. It didn’t. Really. Work. Back to the drawing board. (But literally)

this pose is one hundred percent original and if you’ve seen five other pieces with a similar composition with similar vibes no you haven’t (gaslighting)

FULL WILD LIFE SMP LINEUP! (Tallest to shortest) It’s doneeee this is the first time I’ve really tried character design (in case it isn’t obvious). I have a long ways to go but I’m proud that I stuck with it until the end.

closeups:

Canon event of the life series: Scar killing Etho

(based off session 4 of Wild Life SMP)

Does. Does this count as another curse.

Scar has had it out for him ever since Limited Life…

FAMILY! (Insert wild applause. Several people faint in the front seats. Many more are sobbing uncontrollably)

They are finally here! They make me very happy I will never recover if this alliance implodes. (Manifesting Gem or Joel win so hard rn)

After Gem got burned alive, Joel insisted on matching outfits for their theme, probably.

By the way, it’s really hard to come up with simplified designs for burn scars? Like, I’m just sticking little marks everywhere but from a character design perspective that is a nightmare to reproduce numerous times… any ideas of a simpler way to go about it?

Design detail ramblings below:

Finally! Tuff Guys designs! They’re done! (Really wanted to get this out after session 3 before Tango was perma-dead, but luckily he is still here with us)

Obligatory ramble under the cut warning:

Wild Life BigB! He’s honestly been doing really good so far. His snail death was kinda unavoidable? The way he could HEAR THE SNAIL DIGGING TO HIM underground was the scariest thing ever. And that’s coming from someone who watched Gem’s POV first and was completely desensitized to the snails. It still totally got me.

(A BigB win would be so awesome though because he almost never gets any attention in fan-works and winning is kinda the automatic key for lots of cool animatics)

I was debating whether or not to put him alongside the Final Girls (Four G’s/ Five G’s??) I ultimately decided not? But he’s also a bit of an honorary member. (Cleo being the one who invited him…HURGH it. Gets me. They are friends ☺️)

CAN WE GET A SHOUTOUT FOR THE COOLEST LOOKING SKIN EVER IN THE LIFE SERIES THOUGH THANK YOU ROSE (couldn’t find their Tumblr acc)

Final Girls designs! (post-session 3)

Rambling under the cut:

Psst! Swol Patrol has been added to the Wild Life lineup. I love how I immediately find excuses to get rid of things like the pattern on Martyn’s shirt but insist on the most complex scars to be added.

After both the enderman attack and snail attack Martyn’s backpack strap was a goner. He’s retired it for now, and that’s not just because idk how to draw backpack straps.

Also, Ren’s glasses broke a bit but he’s committed and won’t get rid of them until they are melted to goo or something.
