okay Tumblr, some things are boutta change around here ðŸ¤
I will give you the same shpeal that I gave Instagram, so if you read that already then you can skip this post! I will post some polls next that you can vote on instead
I want to thank you guys for the crazy support you have all given me on here! I am being completely serious when I say I had no idea this project was going to get to this point. I figured I would be drawing some designs of the protagonists for my own fun, maybe some villains. Generally, whenever I have done designs in the past, I kept it at that and then lost motivation, but you guys have made it different this time. I wanna keep this going for a while, if I can!
Because of my small-scale vision, though, I've run into a few hitches that I need to iron out if I want to keep this going though, and I am tackling this now rather than later.
My first problem is that I worked on a crazy small canvas. This means my designs are mega pixel-y if you zoom in even a little bit, which is super annoying to me. I did this originally out of habit: I work on small canvases normally to make my files smaller, which is better for toyhouse and artfight and all of them. I don't like it for this though, especially if I am making them for a wider audience
this is a good example. you can basically count the pixels when you zoom in. it's not the end of the world or anything, but I figured it is an easy fix to up the canvas size a bit.
SO! Because I am doing this, I intend on converting a lot / most / maybe all of my designs to this higher quality. This is for a number of reasons, but the big one is because I am not happy with a lot of these designs, or more that I feel like I can do better. If these designs are what I'm known for, I want them to be my best work, you get me? They aren't right now.
This is going to look like a complete revamp for some, shiny new poses for others, maybe some brighter colors on a couple, and for the ones I like, I will just trace the art I've already got on a larger scale. I plan on making some tribe-specific features more prominent (I want to give NightWings bat features! I chickened out last time and now all my NightWings look the same).
An example of what I mean with Fatespeaker ^^ new pose, new colors, and bat features (more personality)! Some characters need this more than others, and I will focus on those!
I also want to take more time with my designs so I can put out stuff I'm proud of! Got some more edits to give this Moonwatcher design before I am sold with it (gotta edit her little bat nose a bit).
Now that you have read my essay, I will post some polls separately so you guys can have a say in how my next couple months of posts are gonna look. Thank you for reading and thank you guys for the support!
