wip number 20 billion

The goobers answer the call to adventure

#wip #sketchbook #traditionalart #oc
A light pencil sketch of my OCs trying to board the open door of a train car as it is moving. Sable, a mouse man, holds onto a handle in the opening of the train car while Leif, a small tree boy, holds onto his arm. They are both reaching towards Mira, a long haired human with a strand of fire at the end of her hair, and Fortissimo, a glass-eyes creature with six arms carrying various bags

Return of the gooberance

#Sketchbook #Traditionalart #wip #oc
A rough pencil sketch of my four original characters gathered together. In the background Fortissimo, a six armed creature wearing a wide-brimmed hat, holds an unfolded map and points at part of it. On the left, Sable, a mouse man, smirks while holding up the index finger of his right hand while his left is holding Fortissimo’s shoulder. In the foreground, Mira, a long-haired woman in a dress with oetal-like frills, leans the elbow of her right arm into the palm of her left and leans her cheek on her right hand. She looks back at the other two with her eyebrow raised up On the right, Leif, a tree boy, looks at the rest of them curiously

Later, at Mt. Dedede
An image drawn over the meme of Squidward's face squished to the floor. King Dedede from kirby has his face squished in the shape of Rocky, staring straight up with a blank expression. He's squished down against the peace sign in the center of his wrestling arena.

Anyway, very cool looking

Four characters that inspired their design and personality in different ways: Gilgamesh, particularly his Final Fantasy XII version, Gogo from Final Fantasy V and VI, Skull Kid from Majora's Mask, and the old lady from Breath of Fire IV
Gilgamesh as seen in Final Fantasy XII. He is a muscular creature with grey skin, horns, a red and gold outfit, and six arms all wielding swords. Gogo's concept art from Final Fantasy VI. They are a figure wearing a mixture of very elabroate red, yellow, white black and blue clothing with a yellow scarf covering their face. Skull Kid's official artwork from Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. THey are a short kid with tree-like skin, orange and green clothing, and a wearing the titular Majora's Mask on their face. A small sprite, portrait and concept art of an old lady frog from Breath of Fire IV. She has orange skin, a green hood and a mandolin, and wears glasses.

Not only will I shamelessly steal, I’ll shamelessly use artwork that’s almost 6 years old
1 like = 1 fact about my oc Traditional ink drawing with digital coloring. My character Fortissimo, a six-armed creature with brightly colored clothes that have mismatched colored sleeves and gloves. Their face is split down the middle with a blue half and a pink half, mimicking a medallion on their cape that has a face that is half a bright sun and half a crescent moon.

The usual suspects

From left to right: Fortissimo, Sable, Mira and Leif
A rough pencil drawing of four characters Far left is Fortissimo, a tall creature with large, glass-like eyes and stitches down the middle of their face. They are wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a cape. They have six arms, giving them a spider-like appearance Middle left is Sable, a mouse man wearing a cap with gems on the trim. Middle right is Mira, a woman with long hair and a dress with petal-like frills. Far right is Leif, a tree boy with leaves for hair and root-like fingers and toes

Am I onto something?
Sprite edits of sprites from Final Fantasy VI where the palette swaps of some enemies have been edited to have even more variations to their sprite. The top row is the small red Magna Roader and then the brown variation edited to have a more skull-like face and some wires on its back. The second row has the purple Magna Roader with an edit of its yellow variation where half its face is covered in silver plating. The third row has the unedited Ultima Weapon on the left, and Ultima Buster on the right edited to have a more metallic face, a spiked plate on its elbow, a chest plate, exposed red ribs and broken horns. Its tail has been edited using sprites from both Demon and Guardian to give it a metallic, segmented end with a gun at the tip. The fourth row has three ninja sprites. The left is the unedited Ninja, the center has the Outsider edited to have a second sword instead of a claw, and the third Covert is edited to have a cloth hanging down over its face and its sword replaced with a second claw. The last row has the green Humbaba on the left and an edit of the grey Muud Suud on the right with its horns curving inward rather than outward, a pair of tusks instead of teeth showing in its mouth, and a third eye on its forehead.

A sketch in progress of a villain I inconsistently design all the time, but this is probably the closest to how I visualize her.

She’s part of a group that has mixtures of reptile, mammal and insect characteristics spliced together

A pencil sketch of a creature in a humanoid stance with a veiny, scaly body with accents of wild fur. She has an alligator-like face and large claws on her hands and feet

Didn’t expect to be cucked for free time by my job for the septillionth time this year (no idea WHY I didn’t since I haven’t had a day off since Christmas), but in sheer defiance of that here’s one final unfinished sketch of the year

#sketchbook #traditionalart #oc
My original characters that I enjoy drawing a lot. From left to right: Fortissimo, a tall, six-armed living puppet. They are wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a cape Sable, a mouse man with a notch in his left ear, stands with his hand in his pocket. He has a cap on his head with a metal brim with a jewel in the center near his forehead. Mira, a woman with long hair and a dress and gloves with petal-like frills. Leif, a tree boy with leaves for hair with root-like toes.

Show me what you can do with just a pen!

(I don't sketch without a pencil sketch that often, but the one time I did recently it was a shitpost)
A screen grab of a previous post of mine: Oops! I forgot my mechanical pencils at home! Guess I'll have to use something else! #Sketchbook #Spongebob Original alt text: A pen and ink drawing copying a frame from Spongebob Squarepants. The square cartoon sponge shrugs his shoulders with a funny expression on his face. Instead of having legs, jet fire shoots out of his pant legs (in the original scene his legs are off screen)

Though this one might overtake it, but I don’t know if earlier this year is old enough 🤔
A pen drawing of a creature with a stitched face and six arms wearing a hat, cape and kilt-like skirt. Their lower left hand holds a suitcase, their upper right holds a backpack slung over their shoulder, and the opposite hands hold sheathed swords. Their middle arms just have their hands idle. There are two swords at their belt and a larger sword on their back

Another set. I attempted some ink wash on the cat, but I didn’t have my ideal inks when I painted her, so it came out a little less black than I wanted

A pen and marker illustration of a bunny barbarian. A tan bunny stands on its back feet holding up two battle axes. It has fur underwear and a loincloth with a skull on its belt. Bands crossed over its chest holds carrots as if they are weapons. A pen, marker and ink wash illustration of a black cat with green eyes resting its paws on top of a stack of pancakes. She has a small heart beside her cheek

I did more illustrations for friends and family this year (though I have a few more to finish 😅)

#illustration #traditionalart
A pen and marker illustration of a half broken tree with a large-chinned face. It is smoking a tree with its leaves burning, smoke pluming from the top of his head. A small mouse sitting on a stump looks up at the situation with a thought bubble that says “Wait…” A pen and marker illustration of a pug standing in red armor with gold trim. He has a sword stuck in the ground with a shield on his other arm. There is a dog bone on the end of the sword handle and three crossing dog bones on the crest of the shield A pug dressed as a witch in a purple robe and hat. One hand has a large spoon stirring a cauldron over a fire, while the other lifts up a wooden wand and spins it around the air. The words “da cauldron” are written on the front of the cauldron. A pen and marker illustration of a knight cowering in the face of a bird-dragon creature wearing a red hat that says “#1 Dad”. There is a baby chick in a broken shell crying over ice cream that fell on the ground

Just discovered this post and I felt inspired
An meme based on the attached quote post. The artwork from the cover of Castlevania is edited to have a retro Taco Bell over the castle and a Taco Bell visor over Dracula's head. Text above reads "Walking the backroads to Taco Bell at 3AM" with a laughing emoji to the right

Do you dare try one of the dweebos?

I have other drawings of them and other OCs in my #oc hashtag too
A very rough pen and pencil sketch of four characters. On the left is a woman with long hair. In the center is a short boy with pointed ears and leaves for hair. On the right is a smirking man who has mouse-like ears and a tail. Behind them is a tall figure with multiple pairs of arms wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

Touched up an unfinished sketch of Leif into a slightly more finished sketch

This inspired me to do a quick sketch of the way Sable would see the other three

#sketchbook #traditionalart #oc
Pen sketches of goofy representations of three of my original characters On the left, Fortissimo is represented as a hand puppet with their mouth wide open. They are holding butter knives in their six hands In the center, Leif has been drawn as a sapling growing from a pot On the right, Mira’s face is drawn over a flame in a lantern, her expression slightly annoyed

A little sketch of an early fight scene in my story. Sable is having a fight using mushroom stalks against a strange armored creature named Octavio. Octavio spat ink over his weapon that hardened to make it more dangerous

A very light pencil drawing of an armored creature with his face covered in suckers swinging a spiked mushroom stalk at a mouse man who is being bent backward by deflecting his swing

Some very light sketches of my OCs tonight from my break at work

#sketchbook #traditionalart #oc
Two columns of very light pencil sketches of my original characters Mira, Sable, Leif and Fortissimo Top left is Leif, a tree boy, squinting and making a funny expression. To the right of him Sable, a mouse man, taps his chin and seems to be thinking The middle left has Leif standing with his arms out in a tree-like fashion, and Sable bends forward holding his hand over his head as if measuring his height. In the bottom left Fortissimo, a six-armed puppet with sharp teeth, holds six swords at various angles In the top right Mira, a girl with fiery hair, smiles as the fire in her hair obscures most of her body In the bottom right Mira stands with one arm outstretched upward to the right of the page while the one closer to the middle of the page is closer to her side bent at the elbow

A sketch in progress of Fortissimo using a last resort for when his swordplay wasn’t enough and he’s been backed into a corner.

#sketchbook #wip #traditionalart #oc
A pen and pencil sketch in progress of my original characters. Fortissimo, a living puppet with six arms, holds Leif, a tree boy with leaves for hair, with five of his arms. The sixth is pointed at the viewer, a smoking hole at the end of his finger as if it is a gun barrel that fired a bullet
