anyway i'm making it sound like these are established characters begging to be revealed but the reality is that most of them have like 1-3 sketches attached to them and that's it AND like half of the sketches are nsfw like calm down i haven't even made the character yet and im already doing that
i have another that's like a big cat but like i mean a bit fluffy house cat ,they have so much fur that their neck isn't visible idk how to describe it.. ALSO they're based on my palico from the mh wilds beta because i love long haired palicoes (how do you spell palico plural? palicos? palicoes?)
i'm trying to make an actually good ref sheet ALSO this took forever, i never draw characters standing and looking straight ahead for reference purposes, so this drawing is a product of HOURS OF BRUTE FORCE OHH MY GOD idk when i'll finish this
also i have another character that's like one of those round-bodied chibi dragons because i like that type of dragon design and uhhh also they're like the thickest character i've ever made in terms of proportions and it's kinda insane i'm wondering if i should tone it down lol
LIKE I SPENT AN HOUR JUST LOOKING AT THE LEGS LIKE THEY LOOK WRONNNGGGGGG and now they're fine and perfect and dandy !! also i never realized how thick my oc is like damn? .i mean they're not super thick but like if you strip down the character to just the body outline they look very.. shortstack???
like, their head, torso, and legs each take up 1/3 of their body EXACTLY like.. i never intentionally did that ! and i didn't even notice until i was checking the height of each body part individually and i was like, wait,, why is each body part exactly 10 inches tall?
sometimes i draw generic characters with unique body types to fulfill a certain niche and i think at some point i should just turn them into ocs lol like the ferret(?) character i sketched was one of them, like, i didn't have a character in m,ind i just wanted to draw that type of creature .
also this isn't a bad thing i'm just saying like i never thought of Lumi as a thick character so this is literally just a thing i gave her subconsciously i guess
also i will post the wip thing
also another thing that made it hard was like, for context, i feel like my art style doesn't come super naturally to me, so when i have a sketch, i have to whip it into the intended shape for hours until it looks right to me, and that's WHAT I DID AND ITS 6 AM NOW
this is a reminder that i'm not dead i just have no idea what to say when i'm not posting art ! also im trying to make a good ref sheet finally but like AAAHGH idk how to describe what i did, like, i had to analyze my own character's proportions before realizing that they have a 1:1:1 body ratio
