TY for hosting 🙏 I love character design... I primarily design Marvel and Elder Scrolls OCs who make me sad in some capacity (for fun!)

Character concepting and designing is a large chunk of the body of my work.

these are some of my ocs. 2 recent and the last two are older. When I design I try to think of the character's lifestyle, location, culture, and personal likes. I try to also show off personality a little in their posing.

character ref of a elven character with paws and a tail. He is themed after a white rabbit. He has a large hat and is dressed in a very dnd styled outfit of white, pink, and soft jade. He has a marble and rose quartz + rose gold prosthetic. He is also albino.

character design for a half elf spellslinger. She has a masked fox companion. The sheet shows various details about her outfits which are a cloaked + fox masked gear set. The other is a steampunk-ish outfit with leather gloves. She is also covered in scales and always wears the jade jewelry piece around her neck.

a soft jade and pink long (chinese inspired dragon god) with pink wisteria and clouds around him. Several pink orbs float around his being. He also has a silk ribbon that floats above his shoulders. Each end of the ribbon has a large jade bead with the last of the ribbon as a tied off tail.

character sheet for a homebrew harpy based off a secretary bird. They are dressed in a semi modern crop top with exposed shoulders. He has pants that are baggy and have slits on the thighs. They are very high waisted bell bottoms that are tied on the bottom.

Loooove doing character sheets!!
My character designs aren’t too wild or unique, but I am trying to show their personalities in their designs more!

Reference sheet for Princess Celeon, an older woman wearing a very ornate dress fitting for a future queen. She has brown hair with some gray streaks, and her clothing is teal-themed. She has an aloof air to her

Reference sheet for Sirius, a guardsman wearing a half-striped tunic and armor with a red color theme. His clothes are scuffed and tattered, and he has bags under his eyes and an unshaven face. He has a tired and frustrated expression

Reference sheet for Armin, a demon hunter who spends his time on the road. His yellow long coat is stained, torn, and self-repaired, and his armor is dented and scrapped. He has triangle tattoos under his eyes, and black hair and a beard, with most of it turning gray. A detail of Armin’s bare left arm shows a tattoo sleeve of geometric patterns. Also on the sheet is a giant great axe with symbols carved into it, much like his tattoos.

Reference sheet for Alex, a young demon hunter. She wears practical clothing with a green theme. The sheet shows her combat outfit, which includes armor, and her casual outfit, which includes a tucked in shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Alex has long brown hair up in a ponytail, and has scars across the right side of her face, damaging her right eye. She has a jovial smile

My name is Gaith. I love making funny lil guys who just happen to be incredibly hot too
I try to make each lil guy distinct in their design and have their designs also reflect who they are so u can get a general idea just by looking at them :D I love making ref sheets too 🥰

conceptualizing themes and plots and character relationships and literary devices are so much fun. then i have to actually write dialogue and it’s like i’ve never had a conversation in my life.
