(Space/Click to advance) 1. Custom Design So I know I said I was going to do a human design, but... then I ended up getting super attached to it as I was designing it so instead I decided to do a dragon design! Why not just make another human design you may ask? Well, human designs generally take me a lot longer to draw and I wanted to get these payments done before spring break was over, since who knows how long it would take me to get them done while also doing school and pet portraits at the same time. That being said, I still really love this design and can't wait to see what you do with it, Nightspark! 2. Wingless/Unshaded Version of Custom Gah the neck on the headshot looks so strange without the ear- And yes, the wings on its head are supposed to be the ears. Don't ask me how it works logically bc I don't care, it looks cool. Also the horns are supposed to be tree branches not antlers. 3. Headshot of Nightspark (Dark Form) As soon as I saw that Nightspark's ref was updated and that they now had a super epic "Dark Form," I was like "I have to draw this!" So I did. And I'm really happy with how it turned out, especially the shading. Idk why but it's always fun to draw really angry expressions. Also something random about this drawing is that I drew it while watching No Way Home (for the fourth time) and now whenever I look at it I think of Doc Ock and Green Goblin. 4. Headshot of Vibrance I'm really happy with how the expression turned out on this one. It's not as annoyed/judgemental as it could be, to me it reads "you're annoying but you're below me," which seems fitting to me since they're basically a deity (or so their th profile says). 5. Headshot of Cairne I don't know how to feel about this one. In fact, the expression of this drawing is the best way to describe how I feel about it. The expression isn't very "thoughtful," unless you mean thoughtful as deep in thought. Other than that, I really like this drawing. Cairne's clumps of hair (if that's what they are) are really fun shapes to draw. 6. Fullbody of Stormheart So I couldn't find any good anthro references for this one, I hope that's okay. I think it worked out in the end though because it's easier to make a pose anxious in feral form rather than anthro form. I really like how expressive this drawing turned out. 7. Fullbody of Fade I had a lot of fun drawing this but now that it's finished I'm not sure whether I like it or not. I didn't realize until this drawing that I could do anthro poses using human references *face palm*. For some reason my brain interpreted "triumphant/smug" as a victory dance/taunt, and this is what came out of it. I really like Fade's clothing design, genie pants are always fun to draw because they're such big shapes. I didn't realize until part way through coloring this that I had completely forgotten her tail, but at that point I was really tired (I finished these during a ten hour drive home from spring break vacation) and I didn't feel like adding it. 8. Icon of Fade Drawing this was honestly really therapeutic and I think it's my favorite drawing out of all of them (besides the custom). It was nice to do a calm expression after doing so many super expressive drawings, and I guess her mood is just contagious. Phew. That was a lot. I plowed through all of these in like three days because a) I was inspired and b) it was spring break so I had a lot of downtime. I'm really happy with how all of these turned out and I hope you like them as much as I do, Nightspark! _CREDITS_ Art - (me) Characters - Song - In My Mind by Lyn Lapid (this is probably my current favorite song and it's been stuck in my head all week, so now y'all can share my pain muahaha) Imma just leave a little easter egg down here for those of you who bother to read all of this. For one, I am so close to 300 followers and I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of those who have stuck around as I've drifted to and from scratch over the years. For two, my next project will be the prologue of that comic I've mentioned a couple times! I managed to get most of done over spring break and if all goes according to plan, I'll post it tomorrow. God bless! =3
