TADC Cardboard Puppets!⋆˚꩜｡
I made these little cardboard cut outs a few months ago. It was a birthday present for my little brother because I can't afford merch probably
I started with sketches on scrap paper for all of the heads because I was scared to draw straight on the cardboard and mess up.
I immediately learned that drawing on the cardboard was super easy and im stupid lmao
But it was at least fun to glue the paper on
I did them all first before I started the coloring and lining, I just wanted to get a good shot of what they all looked like standing together. I was so happy with how they came out at this point and I was praying I didn't screw up after this
I started with Pomni because her face looked funny to me
like haha yes little jester, you will be my test subject evil laugh
But I used Tombow Dual brush pens for all of the colors if anyone was curious (plus a white colored pencil for pomni's skin shhhhh)
At this point, this is where the paper came back to bite me in the ass. The heads had much more vibrant colors compared to the bodies, which isn't that bad/noticeable (yet.) But other than that, the colors I picked for them looked so pretty.
Gangle was a lot quicker to color in but since I did colors first and then lined them, that was so much worse than Pomni, god those ribbons were so scary to do
Unfortunately, after that photo, I completely locked in with the rest so I don't have anymore progress photos :(
Now we can see the final product! :D
I really hope tumblr doesn't botch the quality of this but here it is!
After I did their colors, I wanted to fill in the background and I was tempted to use black, but I thought more fun vibrant colors fit the vibe more and actually made some look really nice
Unfortunately, the paper thing was very much visible now due to the difference in color for the background (Ragatha's makes me sad because her body colors are so much darker than her head, she looks so happy, she didn't deserve that sobs) ((should've been jax/j oh my god, who said that? :0))
Also yes, I made Zooble a little shorter than normal, i just drew the body and head smaller. fuck u/silly
I wanna rank them based on because I want to:
My favorite puppet: Pomni
The purple background works great with her colors and just character wise, she can actually stand up straight, silly :3)
I love the gold motifs on his suit, hat and scepter, and the yellow background matches him. And that contrast is so good (also he looks cool when he's "floating")
Picking out body parts was fun enough but going through different colors for those parts was like a game/pos. I wanted to make sure each color was different and I tried not to use any of the same colors in one place. Plus, I'm not used to drawing funky character designs, they were so fun to draw
-Like I said, I feel so bad that Ragatha's colors are so dark, the pink around her head and her hair (i swear I used red, the colors just came out pink for some reason) but the blue on the top of her dress would have looked so pretty and magical. If I could go back and remake any of them, it would definitely be her.
-For Jax, I just wish I chose a different background color for him, the orange isn't very flattering. He might actually be my least favorite because of that.
-Kinger looks so silly, his robe looks like a cloud. Plus I'm proud of the little black marks on it.
Like I said at the beginning, this was a birthday gift for my brother and he really liked them. I don't think he could pick a favorite lol
and before i go, yes, I did indeed play little puppet shows with them before I gave them up (they were so much fun :D)
Thought I should share this with episode 8 coming soon and because fuck reddit and twitter, people need to learn to be normal and kind
But thank you Gooseworx for an amazing show, I can't wait to see the last two episodes ♡⸝⸝
