Hello friendos, it’s #PortfolioDay!

My name is Bayless and I’m a character designer. I’ve done commissions for portraits, D&D characters, and superheroes.
I’m working on a proper Character Design portfolio this year!

You kids these days and your esoteric lyrics

For me, I’d have to say the game Rime. It enchanted me so much that I wanted to see it through, and I’ve wanted to go back to it several times since, and the soundtrack is one I listen to constantly.

Thank you all for the love! It’s been very much appreciated ❤️

Hello artists! We return with another ✨Character Design✨ #Artshare

Character design is my thing!
Been working on a proper portfolio this year so enjoy one of the practice projects I did last year.

Exactly. Have the humans be in cryo-sleep the whole time. If it were me, I would’ve had the entire movie focus on the robots with almost no dialog lol save for the President Fred Willard bits.

100% it’s why I’m always pulled out when WallE arrives on the ship. We’ve been shown hyper realism and a live action actor for an hour and a half, now you wanna show me cartoony blob people?

Oooh, that’s a cool looking Gallantmon on the right. What version is that?

These are super fun! Love the expressions and how playful you have Peter and Miles being.

Would it be rude to ask if I could color these pages?
mrbayless.bsky.social
Question, will the pages have a nice glossy finish… in case any fluids are spilled in them? Asking for a friend.

Said before, will say it. I’d play the hell out of this.
mrbayless.bsky.social
Oh man… but would I commission you do draw me with Bulbasaur or Terriermon? I love them both!

Said it before, I’ll say it again, I’d love to see Xena make a comeback. One that wouldn’t have to hide how gay it is.
If not a TV show, a comic would also rule.
mrbayless.bsky.social
Yes. This. Exactly.

My art 100% makes me happy and is done because I wanted to… but when I show the world and the world says nothing, that hurts.

Thank you my sweet L2stopher, I’ll look those up. ❤️
mrbayless.bsky.social
Also, would anyone be willing to review/give feedback on it when it’s done?

I started building a proper Character Design portfolio this year, and while I did a ton of research before digging in, I always want more.
What are some of your favorite designs or examples of great sheets or full portfolios?
mrbayless.bsky.social
I started building a proper character design portfolio this year and it’s been quite the pickle to find the sweet spot of providing all the helpful details and drawing too much shit on one page lol
mrbayless.bsky.social
I love all the details on display here

I follow a handful of artists that are so amazing but I wanna just sit and stare at their work WAY MORE than I wanna see the process. At least post both.

Make the tools for individuals to use where they see fit. Let me choose what I do and do not what to see. Don’t decide for me.
