Here's the most recent monster design I worked on for my webcomic, Monster Lands. She's the main antagonist of the next long-form chapter.
Do written OCs count?
A cheerful goth girl with huge, purple pigtails, a purple dress, and a huge, tremendously fat purple cigar clenched between her grinning teeth. She lives seemingly alone in an old, bug infested manor. Her name is Lilly Cob.
Personality wise, she's very cheerful and casual about things like danger and death, even when it's her own life. She loves bugs, ghosts, and all things macabre.
A few years ago, her family was cursed and began dying one by one, leaving only Lilly left. Lilly figures that since it's only a matter of time before she passes, she'll make the most of it. The ghosts of her family members sometimes manifest in the smoke of her cigar.
Sometimes, like during special occasion or formal events, she uses a fancy black cigar holder (basically like a cigarette holder, but designed to hold cigars) for her cigar.
In front of her manor is the graveyard, where each of her family members are buried. There's even a grave for her, thought it of course hasn't been filled yet.
She owns a large carnivorous plant in her manor's garden who she treats like a pet.

Very well done. I like the spiral-limbs.

This is Robin "koschei" Rose, the golden elf.
>>89737863
love it. would go with a less humanoid head though that really messes with the design imo
First of some drawings I'm doing to get myself to do more then bust shots, her name is Anne. She's rather lazy, rarely doing any more then what is required of her. She spends most of her time outside of her job at the local movie theater in front of the TV, or bumming around town.
She isn't the brightest person, and can sometimes come off as being rude, ignorant or uneducated but genuinely tries not to.
here’s a pic of my dnd char, The Mighty McChesthair.
He’s a human barbarian grappler, and if you look closely, you might notice he ripped off the front half of a bear and used it as pants.
his junk is in the bear’s head, so there are a lot of jokes about the bear head slowly moving up to look at someone.
i’m trying to get a mechanic approved where his chest hair deals damage during a grapple.
Been sketching a lot lately...
And staying up waaay too late.
>>89740080
>>89740117
>>89740062
He looks like a mixture of bear hugger and zangief.
And this is great
>>89740140
I want to make a story and OCs, but it heavily relies on the superhero school idea, which is done quite a lot.
How so you anon deal with similar situations? When what you wanna do relies on stuff many are already doing?
>>89740162
>>89740196
This one is cool.
>>89740062
>you might notice he ripped off the front half of a bear and used it as pants.

You've won me over, sir/madam.
The body hair does need work, but you're doing great so far.

A shit lil doodle of one of my characters, Goggles.
She's so smart that she can make up any machine that fits a designated purpose, so long as she has the patience and resources.
Just some recent doodles of my girl Alice.
She likes hugs.
>>89742186
Ehhh not really. From the actual super power to the concept of a non-super hero-centric story that still has super powers, it's barely been done at all.
>>89742096
looks really cool i like the design anon , link it here when you get further along

Here's my the most recent image featuring Macy, another one of OCs.
I just did a Pun Pun doodle
>>89745021
I'm practicing making little animated loops
My style of art seems to work really well with this stuff.
Some REALLY basic character sketches for an idea I've had for a while
Oh I also did a few Exris studies. Like that winged monster, he appears in Monster Lands: http://www.monster-lands.com/
He's fun to draw.
I finished this thing about half an hour ago, fanart for some webcomic artist I follow.
>>89742668
I really like your line work
just finished this.
>>89749329
And yeah I know it's his right eye, I was describing it from our viewpoint. A lot of people have mentioned this to me though so I may change that line of text...
>>89740062
>a bear head for a dick
That's either really manly or really gay
>>89749332
Also I'm not sure if I posted this in the last WoYA thread. It was a practice sketch for getting back into tablet art.
>>89749329
I really like this, especially the one with him floating to the side. It gives a very sleek feel to the design.
Random designs here, not for or from anything.
Trying to learn to make characters more varied, any tips?
Also, how do people make arms not look awkward? I hate the way they dangle in my drawings, but I don't want to abuse pockets.
>>89749635
scarf girl isCUTE!
>>89749635
Try to do more dynamic poses that would justify the characters having their arms bend or stretch. If it's just for them standing still, try having one or two of them having their arms crossed or doing something, such as typing on a phone or playing with a yoyo.
>>89749654
Really? I figured as I was drawing her that she had giant buck teeth, but lost one as a kid. Now she just has one giant front tooth that she's shy about, hence the scarf covering her mouth.
>>89749728
I would make the one tooth more obvious. And maybe some freckles

Character design for a Greek-Based animated short
workin on a thing.
how can i make this better?
>>89750872
oh man I like dat. There's a lot to take in, and not in a bad way, but in more of a fun to epxlore the image kinda way.
Since it's so stylized I think the big focus as far as improvement would have to be for composition. When I look at it, my eye is drawn to the top left with the guy in the helicopter, then it follows the spotlight down. I think the problem is the spotlight lands on the center of the giant... caterpillar guy on one of the most featureless parts of em. So I guess maybe that's something to think about next time. Also, because the helicopter is kinda the focal point, you might want to have more of / all of it in the picture because it's awkward having a the focus object cut off that much. Still love it though.
Anyway, I haven't posted here in quite some time. Have some random sketches of questionable integrity.
>>89745657
Looks like you copied her directly from Atomic Betty.
>>89751471

>>89749952
Merging the batman and donut threads was a smart move.
Character Wolve's Bane.
She's a Visha Kanya (Poison woman) who's been toxic since birth. Her skin is an irritant akin to poison ivy. Her spit is poisonous enough that prolonged exposure to it can cause Nausea, fainting and could be fatal if exposed long enough. Even one drop of her blood is enough to kill a full grown man. And of course she's immune to poisons and toxins.
She spent a lot of her childhood as a food tester and ended up gaining a lot of weight, but after she meets an assassin who she takes a liking to she decides to use her toxicity as a weapon.
I missed Chinese New Year, but I'm still working on this piece for the year of the Fire Chicken.
The line art is more-or-less finished; on to the colours next, unless anyone can spot anything that really needs fixing.
Posted this to /ic/, might as well repost here. The atmosphere I'm going for is an unreliable flashback, but the way it turned out it's also really got a Lotte Reiniger thing going on.
>>89748042
>>89750130
These remind me of PBS bumpers or something. Makes me want to go back to being a third grader. I can assume these were experiments with a skeleton tool in your software?
the idea is that he lives on the streets and sells shit, any shit at all, anything you could possibly imagine he probably has it inside his coat (which he never EVER takes off)
>>89751922
Oh yeah I think that works better. it definitely balanced the whole image out cause before everything was happening on the left side of the image and the right was pretty barren. Great work! :D
>>89762244
It's actually a bunch of image layers moving together in sony vegas.
The ones I posted took like 10 minutes to animate together, and like 10 or less to draw, if I ever get the chance I could hopefully make some kind of nice animation this way
this is The Tzar (цapь) he can release blasts of energy that can destroy continents, obviously he is a mighty ruler that rules with an iron fist and whom everyone fears...but deep down inside he is afraid of his own power, and understandably he cant actually use it whenever he wants because he doesnt want to obliterate his own kingdom, he may only use it on the battlefield and even then as a last resource since he cant very well conquer ashes.
who here /drawing memes/? doing pic related and its a lot of fun so far.
also like to collect prompts for days when i dont know what to draw
>filename
yes i know, excuse it
>>89763324
Also did pic related at one point.
it's fun and easy whenever I have free time to draw whatever I want, rather than what I get paid for

Here's a cast of characters for a cartoon idea I had. Its called, "The Greatest", and its about a group of earths greatest hero's trying to stop the greatest evil. They failed. So the son of one of the fallen members (the kid magician in the top left) tries to rally a new group of the greatest hero's to stop the great evil. The great evil is Skeletor if he had Aku's personality.
>>89766178
I can only imagine the chaos that would be unleashed if he undid that ponytail.

Jesus, it's like you guys knew I'd be here or something. More goblins does this Anon's heart good.
Good work with the pose, got a sorta contrappasto look, which is always solid. There's a nice, believable twist in the torso and the legs look pretty legit! Just work on the hands and legs and you're on the right track! Keep at it, Anon!
>>89766372
Well
1. You'd definitely have to pray it doesn't break or say goodbye to your dick
2. I don't know what position you're in but you'd still probably get sweated on or have to touch other parts of her body, so it'd be a good idea to wear a long sleeve outfit and gloves.
would you read an advenutre webcomic if your main character look like this?
>>89768522
I might, yeah. I like the bod on skeleton guy and the pissed off eyes on elf guy. Middle looked pretty cool but reminds me of a character from, I think League of Legends?
>>89766178
I like the anatomy
Only thing I would have to say about him is that the hair seems a little jagged and too sharp on the edges, looks to be a little fake
But then again who the fuck has that amount of hair?
>>89768522
sure why not
>>89766178
Is he going to go even further beyond?
>>89742668
Decided to scan some sketches in relation to my side story. There's a part in which a large congregation of cursed people (called Denizens) converge upon a large stake-like structure impaled into a massive crag.
A simple sketch, but there's no harm in sharing those as well, lol.
>>89774990
And one more, this time of the stake itself. It's called the Slumbering Stake, essentially a giant padlock to keep the Denizens' deity locked inside the earth, to whom they're desperate to unearth. Too bad that's exactly why the stake is a trap.
This sketch was more of a need to brainstorm an idea of what the crag and stake will look.

This is the place where shitty artists post their garbage because they're scared of /ic/, what did you expect?
The shit to good art ratio is like 1000:1, I could count the amount of good art posted in these batman threads posted these past 3 years with one hand.

Not a problem at all, just seen like a fun setting for a character that's usually high fantasy.

Well, why not get started? Begin by doing little bit of character interaction, think of things these characters might say to each other. What kind of weird shit do they get up to? Do their personality get them in trouble?
>>89783299
Yeah, that what I'm working now, with the writing while improving my art skill so I could do the characters justice. This is my quality so far, I need to be better

>>89742316any lewds
I posted an idea for two different main characters a while back. I want to throw out a side character.
First one is a demon girl who lives in limbo or a low level of hell. Her human form either have features of either middle eastern or Hispanic descent. She wants to go to one of the higher levels of hell like any other demon. The best way to go up the ladder is corrupting either holy men such as a priest or a hero. So she discovers the main character and thinks she just hit the jackpot. Her plan is to slowly influence him, corrupt him, and possibly use him to take out any competition. He thinks she's just someone who uses dark magic and his go to girl to fight problems that involve the occult. Instead of influencing him to do terrible acts, it's more of fighting dirty/cutting loose and he influences her to be a better person. When she does reveal herself and tell the truth, he will be incredibly surprised considering he's a Catholic and has no idea what the hell to do.

You could make someone's day by drawing one of their OC's in this thread. That always helps when I'm torn on what to draw.
Just suggesting!
>>89762826
i dig the dr. slump covered-in-all-sorts-of-shit look
i think you're using the big coat to hide trouble with body proportions, though -- always be sure what the dude under the coat looks like, even if the coat is an essential part of his silhouette
>>89800887
i guess i'll take one OC request.
i most of my shit on ms paint.
>>89762826
i think his proportions look weird because he is wearing long shorts and a long shirt below the coat

no, wait, scratch that. i checked, his legs are too short, good eye

not him but the kind of monsters you see here dont require a alot of knowledge about form and anatomy
Maybe this isn't the place to ask, but worth a try I guess....I've been looking to get acquainted with digital art and want to buy a drawing tablet.....but would it be worth it to buy a refurbished one? I'm kind of tight on cash atm and would like to get the best deal possible, but I don't know if you can really trust these things refurbished or not
any tips on how to get that disney feel? I drew Jasmine and tink.

>>89759311
I like this style anon
>>89803216
If you are just starting out, you're pretty good with heads. Either start adding shadows, or bodies (a body is this thing below the head in case you're unaware).
If you just copied what you saw, try drawing from scratch, drawing a face/person from any angle.
>>89803216
>>89803230
To get that Disney feel, you gotta study how the OG Disney animators did it. Look into how they worked, I think they use mirrors as self-references to get that fluid lifelike feel.
>>89803427
I did it by steps. I'm trying to draw more stuff now. I used to draw a lot in high school.
>>89803706
from what I've read the old man made his animators study people's faces a lot while making snow white.
Shit man I try but I just can't stick to it

Do you guys consider it unforgivably lazy to reuse panels? or is there wiggle room for it to be used sparingly?
>>89805627
It's not unforgivable, as long as it's not overdone.
That pic there is fine since it's apparent that something is happening.
>>89805627
It's fine as long as changes are occurring like what >>89805665 said.
Don't just reuse the panel with no changes like what Marvel's done.Also, different dialogue doesn't count as a change. It'll just look like statues are talking.
>>89805627
in my opinion as long as the focus of the panel is the same as the last then I don't see see a reason to use it as a base, as long as some changes are made to make it distinct from the last. the shadow looming over the frame for example, makes it just different enough to not be too boring to look at.
>>89803154
Re asking this
>>89806375
I'd say it would depend on what kind of tablet you want to get. I was able to snag a Ugee 1910b for 380 dollars, nearly 50 dollars below the average price. However if you're just starting out, I'd recommend maybe a 50 dollar tablet that makes you look at a screen to draw as opposed to the tablet. It will feel weird at first but it helps you get used to the layout and features of a tablet, as well as how whatever program you're using works.
>>89751346
Too much muh style, not enough knowledge on how to actually draw
>>89806942
Well really I was looking at getting a Wacom that runs for near a hundred bucks for about sixty
>>89807195
With a deal like that, I'd say go for it.
>>89805510
thanks!
>>89801173
Well damn, dude. I'm shocked nobody vouched for anything. Well if you're still aiming to draw something (12 hours later, HA), perhaps consider one of these...

Updated once a month! What do you think, /co/?
A boy falls in love with a girl. He is mysteriously gifted with her phone number. He calls her and finds out that she likes him as well. But the next day, she doesn't remember the confession. The girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn’t exist in this universe at all. She is the girl’s alternate universe counterpart, who likes his own alternate self. Hijinks ensue as the two tell each other their darkest secrets to conquer the hearts of their other selves.

Don't bother with him. He has nothing of value to say. Anybody who criticizes someone else's art without posting their own is worthless because you can't tell if they have any idea what they're talking about. They are very likely Chris-chan tier and just spouting random nonsense.

Think this is done. The style seems to be working.
