As someone who has no patience with their art, spending over 7 hours on a piece seems a bit daunting, but you have inspired me to try putting more effort into my sketches and rendering. Definitely not 7 hours worth, but I’ll work my way up lol :D I love your work

Well what can I say? Patience is key

The new lineup gives all the characters so much more personality with just one glance. Especially the shoes, it's an overlooked detail but says so much about the characters when they are wearing uniforms.

Thank you!!

lovee hearing about your characters and their development! I also have the same problem of all my characters looking like supermodels ahaha and while its a valid thing to critique, I always think that the artist who is drawing 100+ pages of these characters should be excited to draw them, so they should be as "attractive" or "unattractive" as they want as long as they're fun to draw 💌💌

Exactly! I think as long as the characters aren't stiff, it's fine. I definitely have a bit of a mountain ahead of me when it comes to designing the older characters... definitely have to add some variation there LOL but that's a problem for another day 😂

God the character's display is phenomenal!! I'm so HYPE for the webcomic releasing.

Is Fiona transmasc?

I sometimes worry that I put in too many details when writing the bios for my characters since some of it probably would never be revealed to the audience, but it brings me a lot of joy and gets my thinking juices flowing

looks at fio. smiles. its free *projects early closeted trans experiences onto* i have no idea if fio's trans coding is intentional. but. i like him

OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!! Your other character design video was my fav video of your channel it inspires me so much! Also im very sorry for jolene, she looked so happy and cute^^ Know that we all support you and that she will always be in our hearts even though she stayed for such a short time!

i relate sooo much to your experiences and overall described art journey. From the habits youve described, and experience with motivation/art block; truly relatable.

I literally haven’t seen any of your videos but this one, but this artstyle has me so excited for your comic!! I’m def staying tuned

I love your art so much and have pre-ordered your artbook. Cant wait! :)

Such a beautiful lineup of these characters. The coloring and style is incredibly aesthetically pleasing! You've inspired me to go on Pinterest and draw my characters in fun poses, hehe! 🖤🖤

The difference between your art now and IDFracture is PHENOMENAL!!!! I can still recognize their personalities but your art improved so much it's insane! It's also super enlightening when you describe your thought processes and decisions for the poses and clothes. Super excited for the release of your comic!!

ive watched the videos when u draw these characters, but when u did this again it just made me so much more interested in them. like i knew things i didnt even know before. but this is just so cool

I'm just so in love with your style

You are a very talented artist and I can’t wait for your book series.

I found your artbook at a bookstore in Amsterdam a while ago. I want it so bad ha everything is SO GORGEOUS!

Watching you do your line up process helped me understand how I may approach my own line up. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Hahaha, wavelength~~~~

I think for main characters its normal for them to all be 'attractive' i guess, your designs are phenomenal btw. I would say maybe for supporting characters(?) to have different body types but also I think most of them are pretty young and around the same age so them being similar 'sizes' and such makes sense. Most of the characters each have different heights/silhouettes anyway, as well as their uniforms being custom designed for their personality. What is most important is that the designs reflect what you want/what the story is.

Very well put together. You hit it outta the park with that lip-ring/greasy hair! 😄

I like how pretty and diverse the faces of your characters are.

Glad to be able to watch another video on this and hear your thought process! I’m trying to make my own graphic novel/webcomic as well, so I understand the need to hone your characters and develop consistency in their styles. So don’t worry, we love watching you draw your characters. They have a lot of charm and personality, the more you do things like this they come to life in their own way.

There’s a novel series called the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater, and I feel like your style would suit it beautifully. I would love to see your artistic take on the characters, if you’ve read it or would like to

this is a really good lineup - what canvas size did you use??

Most of my characters really defined themselfs over time through drawing „mistakes“ and quick ideas that somehow popped up and so on. The worst in any character design (in my opinion) is if all characters looks somehow the same, Kind of related and also have the same expression and dynamic. In Comics and illustrations, i want to recognize everyone by maybe the hair, that one special shape or exprssion. Ive noticed that „everyone looks kind of the same“ in Many comics and Mangas and was always so confused by that:) Also , complicated designed characters dont have it most of the time too, simple can also be so great. Simple color palettes, shapes, dynamic is totally my thing bec fanart is so much more fun to do if it isnt a endless struggle to pick out all the tiny baby details on every character:) Your art is so cool and this lineup really looks so great!

@CosmicSpectrumArt

Жыл бұрын

I totally agree! The same-face syndrome thing doesn't bode well for character design/comics for sure (even though for just one off illustrations, a lot of artists can actually benefit from same face syndrome in regards to their work being super recognizable haha). And yeah I also think simpler can be a lot more iconic if done right, I'm not a fan of excessive details myself; I think you can always tell when somebody is just trying to create visual 'interest' with excessive detailing or patterns, but to me it always looks like unnecessary clutter unless everything has a clear reason. Thank you! :))

Nah old Sock had the punchable face vibe. This truly gives me greasy haired punk kid, that you like in small doses because he's trying too hard. Progress! You can make the ugliest character, and someone will still find them attractive. Like all the people who think murders are hot. It's ok make them hot.

I feel like Fiona's colors are more cohesive in the older lineup... His new hair color and skin color don't really harmonize together, maybe the hair is too much of a "greenish" yellow and the skin is too greyish to compliment the hair color. Otherwise, all the characters look amazing! Love your style.

lol too good looking, is there such a thing when it come to drawing your own characters? the newer character design def looks like older teenagers, not cartoonish
