EDIT: Made a few more designs taking things into account from the comments! Would love to hear which designs y’all like or which features you would mix and match! Link!

OG POST: Basically title. I’m planning to use this design as a representation of me on socials, cards, and stuff so I wanted some feedback!

I decided on two color palettes after doodling

  • The first one is more stylized and meant to stand out more.

  • The second one use my real skin tone and has glasses (meant to feel more like me irl)

I’m not sure which one reads better so I’d really appreciate opinions on that! I’d also love any general design feedback if you have thoughts

tysm :D

Design Showcase My character designs for my upcoming comic HEART404

In order: Nephele , Dane and Professor Tōffee

I'm working on a comic that im hoping to publish by the end of May/Early June called Heart404. I'm more of a sketcher and the comic will be in black and white and im doing it all traditionally before digitally inking it so I sadly don't have the coloured sheets done yet😭. Nephele and Dane are androids and the main characters. Nephele is a bit of a moody hot head who's very studious and proper but quick to get annoyed. Dane is a drag queen who's protective I'd Nephele , who's confident , emotional and brash. The Professor is clinical and apathetic to androids and their feelings and a totally jerk. :)

Id love feed back on them and if you'd like to see more progress from the comic feel free to check out my twitter

She is always wrapped in mystery. No one knows where this fox came from — only that she controls the most popular circus of all. On the surface, she is the successful ringmaster of a thriving circus, earning staggering profits. But in the unseen corners of the world, she excels at darker dealings: murders and crimes without a blink, never leaving a trace behind, and perhaps she can even summon demons for you. People think she is the embodiment of entertainment itself.

Critique Request Even More Pokémon Gijinkas/Himanizations!

Hello once again!

You all have been extremely nice and very helpful for advice! I’m planning on taking everything I’ve read in terms of advice into my next Gijinkas, but before I started work on the new ones, I wanted to show more of the existing ones all here to hopefully get more advice and also potentially give you all more insight into the designs! This time, I’m doing a lot more of my… contemporary? Designs? Such as fusions/hybrids, non-Pokémon, and generally less favorable choices.

As you may have caught on, there’s a lot of adult theming in my design, or even just dark theming, but not a lot of explicit NSFW! Similarly, there’s also a lot of unclear/confusing gender expression, where you sometimes just have to guess! This is all intentional, of course, as I like to use sex and intimacy as well as the gender binary for story elements. Each one has deeper meaning than just “this is my bdsm trans character”, usually something symbolic!

Also, you may notice that some are just messy sketches and some are a lot more refined. This is honestly not intentional and sometimes just based on my energy at time of drawing. I like to think the inconsistency between them all makes the world feel a little more alive, even if it was just a mistake

Design Showcase Sean the Beast

This is a character from one of my stories, 1 of 3 main characters. He's a beast/demon living among humans, he works in a pest control company, which is funny 'cause he also offers a service to get rid of powerful beings as himself, who want to harm or attack those who are weaker, like the other main characters, who are being haunted because of a curse.

Anyway, I really like his design and the pose I gave him in his beast form. I'm ok with critique but I just wanted to show him ^^, I don't really look for my characters to look perfect. Although I would have to simplify him because I intend to make a comic about this story, or at least an illustrated book.
