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

when I heard about the original "bug-like" design for Tenna, I was more picturing this than the four arms (with added design flourishes)

#deltarune

(text):
-Lower ant body
-Plastic sheen
(bug-esque carapace)
-Ball joints (toy look)
-Old CGI look?
-Pixar-esque?

fun fact: the font is grapesoda, and my signature on the bottom right is in the kiwisoda font, both of which free online to download :)

Heathcliff smugly walks down the street next to Jimmy, who's wearing sunglasses. Two birds watch them, and one says "Jimmy Cool is growing on me."
