#art #character art #character portrait #busts
Whenever I need a break from level design, creating dialogue, and working in (staring hopelessly at) the event editor, I turn to the list of graphics I still need to draw. I’ve been avoiding character art, and that’s mostly because after trying my hand at drawing them a few times, I was pret-ty sure I’d do better sticking with face graphics or nothing at all <:D I had a picture in my head of how I wanted them to look, but … it wasn’t translating very well to paper.
This week, I decided to give it another go. I was feeling inspired, (because Valentine’s Day is coming up!) so I decided to just go for it and not give up until I was satisfied that I had done the best I could. And ... my babies are finally here !! (∩˃o˂∩)♡
She’s so happy to be here
It's been A LOT of trial and error trying to nail down an art style, mostly because I've never given much thought to how I draw. Because of that, the art has been going in all sorts of directions, but I’ve finally settled on what you see here … which means I’ll have to go back and redo some of the other art … T u T
How to not scare children 101
Trying to find a style that works. I really like Apollo’s eyes here and Moira’s brooch.
Better height comparison of Apollo and Moira (tried a more cartoonish style with Moira)
That’s all for now! Since this is my first public game, I’m still not too sure what to put in these devlogs. But stick around while I figure things out, and you’ll get … um … a cool badge or something when the game does release…? Yeah! :D
Thank you for stopping by & have a happy Valentine’s Day! <3
