Compass Cards process thread 1/?. I always like to start out with a mood board. Season 0 set in the top right, and inspiration around that to be my “true north” when I get lost designing ⭐️ My goal is to make exciting new cards while still maintaining the pixel art vibes

I think the thing that's damaged my perception of reality more than any other is that the same loudness of outrage is leveled against somebody drawing a character off-model or saying something mean on the internet as there is for, like, murder or governmental corruption.

reintroduction post since my twitter days are ogre:
I'm Dreamin', I'm an artist and I wear my feelings and thoughts on my sleeve at all times, possibly to a fault
I have some background in animation but I just enjoy drawing whatever I feel like. no generative stuff here, ever

Day 7 - A chocobo
This one took me a little longer. I got a little too ambitious with the pencil work, hah. I always liked the big Final Fantasy birds!

I've probably posted more art in the past 6 days than I did for most of last year, haha. I'm keeping it simple right now by working on various characters, but it would be fun to try making my own character designs at some point!

Day 6 - Vernal from Vernal Edge
Vernal Edge is a dynamic combat metroidvania type game a friend of mine made. You should give it a look when you have the chance!
For this character illustration, I just used the three colors of ballpoint pens I had on hand.
