currently working on the final perspective project which is so miserable and I'm posting her now so I can feel proud of myself for just a little bit.

some sketches and explorations for what could be the main character of my end program animation. might have a cat with which the story'll revolve around

#characterdesign #art #sketch
original design, more frankenstein-esque, but I was advised to make a design that would make more sense on its own and wouldn't require setup or explanation right: original-ish design right: redesign to remove specificity and make the character less obtuse more design explorations of the more bear-looking design tryna give her cute lil demon-horn-like ears :)

redesigns of some #PokemonLegendsZA megas for a thing on the Subjectively discord, haven't played the game and I don't think these are all too terrible (used to be a mega Starmie hater but I see it as true now), just wanted to channel some hot takes for fun. some details in the alt text!

#pokemon
Mega Victreebel: "ooh my belly is so full and big and round fuckkk" aah design. Didn't care about the original too much but man is this one so nothing. purely comedy for an otherwise cool pokemon didn't sit right with me, especially considering the short tries to treat it with genuine terror. so I amplified its bizarre nature and doubled it with an evil, ever-hungry disposition and changed its typing to Fire/Poison for flavor. Mega Starmie: Everyone has a strong opinion on this one. Now, I used to be cringe and see this design with disdain but now I see it as [True..] nevertheless I thought I might try my hand at a design that would appeal to more people by turning its golden crown into a unisex corset for boys and girls, shoved its crystal up to look like a face and put a swag brown gradient evoking Staryu, to also make it look sorta human. Psychic/Normal.. turns human like Joe from Help I'm a Fish. drowns in water like Joe from Help I'm a Fish Mega Feraligatr: conceptually sound on a very basic level but could if it only looks good in action and otherwise looks clunky and weird it's a [False..] from me. its dragon head is supposed to look like Totodile but it ends up being the weakest early-form-integration due to how unintimidating it ends up looking. so i made its extended hood into a skull-type extrusion, with an elongated jaw, dragon-like scales on its arms, white underbelly and segmented skeletal tail, playing into the earlier line's caveman theming, more dragon theming, prehistorics crocs, sewer gators and the catacombs (still Water/Dragon tho)

aaaaand I think this should close out the Polymajam project! definitely had a lot of fun with these, this is definitely something that'll be useful in a portfolio and I'll surely revisit it in the future!

#oc #ocsky #characterdesign #artsky #art #magicalgirl
Jodie- Character and Expressions. (in order: Physical, Dense, Embarassable) Jodie (magic)- Character and Expressions. (in order: Indulgent, Show-off, Decomplexed) - had magic since childhood, generally kept it to herself and her closest friends and family The main cast on their average day. Aja, Peg, Wes, Mona and Jodie. Every character except for Wes are named after Steely Dan and Donald Fagen songs (Wes is just a name I like :) him not fitting in quite right is also part of the story) the main cast's Magical Alter-Ego's. I envision they don't join eachother as a group until very far in the story. as such, they often see eachother (them and ordinary civilians) as antagonistic forces, and are often confused by eachother due to some similar features in their appearance (shapes, colors, attitudes, etc.). While Aja/Seraphim is the focal point, every one could be the protagonist of their own story.

Polymajam's major power system and antagonistic force. these are just the Clow Cards from ccs but if they were trinkets. I've put a more thorough explanation of their use in the plot in the alt text, but in short they turn into monsters while dreaming.

#art #artsky #characterdesign #monsterdesign
The treasures were created by a witch from the magical world mentioned in a previous post about the magical characters. They were meant to aid in the understanding and teaching of magic, but were left unfinished due to mysterious circumstances regarding their creator. They are alive, but their ego were suppressed, however once stranded in the human world, they begin developing their nature through dreams and nightmares, turning their powers haywire and turning most into monsters. some of the treasures attach themselves to objects, attaching their own suppressed ego onto them. some monsters are actually fully awake, and are actively protecting themselves through outward aggression some treasures attach themselves to living beings, expressing their powers with or without their users' knowledge or intent

ref sheets for Wes and Mona! As was written in the post about the human characters, these two are siblings, and it was fun to design them to reflect and contrast eachother. Some changes here and there, Wes's colors and "?" renamed to Alfa
#oc #ocsky #characterdesign #artsky #art #magicalgirl
Wes - Character and Expressions. (in order: Pleasant, Reserved, Humoring) Catface- Character and Expressions. (in order: Strict, Assiduous, Alarmed), His powers come from the Treasure of Constructs, which transforms his physical form Mona- Character and Expressions. (in order: Guilty, Observing, Brazen) Alfa- Character and Expressions. (in order: Pliable, Imposing, Fierce), her powers are natural and her form is an illusion formed by light magic, minus the boots mask, horns and shoes

#oc #ocsky #characterdesign #artsky #art #magicalgirl
Aja - Character and Expressions. (in order: Eccentric, Impatient, Irritable) Seraphim- Character and Expressions. (in order: Obliging, Atypical, Unsubtle) Peg- Character and Expressions. (in order: Punctual, Charismatic, Patient) Silhouetta- Character and Expressions. (in order: Dilligent, Charming, Chivalrous)

Three tiny apes walk down the street in the manner of the Garbage Ape, bouncing a trash can on top of their small heads. A crowd of three cats cheer as they watch them approach. Two owls watch the entire scene, and one says "Garbage apelings."

some of the inhabitants of the magical world that's part of Polymajam's story.. you might recognize them from those bug-inspired thumbnails I shared before. their designs will similarly be finalized in the next few weeks

Spike the bulldog rounds a corner wearing a pink helmet that says NO. Unbeknownst to him, Heathcliff is on the other side of the corner, wearing a pink helmet that says YES. Two birds watch the impending confrontation from a nearby tree, and one of them says "Hold on to your butt."

working on the side characters for Polymajam, there's gonna be a very Bird and Bug sort of dynamic between the humans and the inhabitants of the magical otherworld that's part of the story. These are gonna change a bit, namely varying their ages and other elements.

might as well present this whole thing for clarity - this is the magical girl project I've been working on for the past few months or so, and which I'll conceptualize fully in the coming weeks to hopefully put in a portfolio. for now, it's named "Polymajam"

#oc #ocsky #characterdesign #magicalgirl
Aja, Peg, Wes, Mona and Jodie, on their average day. Their names are most likely going to stay the same. There will be an emphasis on musical references in the coming human characters The previously shown cast's magical alter-egos, Aja as Seraphim, Peg as Silhouetta, Wes as Catface, Mona will either stay unnamed or named in the future, and Jodie doesn't transform. as everyone knows, girls are already magical
