Man, revenge is underrated!

hey, doing character design is hard. writing descriptions is so much easier. who's the clown who came up with the concept of visual art, i wanna give 'em a piece of my mind

i am attempting to make a character

physically make a character. spiritually i have already made the character. it has a soul, it just doesn't have a face.

the goal:

"shadow with no discernible features except maybe two facial features" is harder than you'd think

an array of doodles I've done while trying to come up with a design that satisfies me

i don't particularly feel like any of them are on the right track but i dislike some less than others.

Helping?

Do you need somthing stringer and more angular perhap?

hm. Probably more angular, definitely sharper. The squiggly/blurry ones can be for special occasions. DEFINITELY more humanoid, i'm shooting for "child-friendly shadow person from a game/cartoon for kids" character design

i mentioned this in the comments but the vibe I'm aiming for is endgame final boss battle enemy, as translated through the eyes of an infatuated level 1 mook who thinks the boss is adorable.

2 more guys would like to make your aquaintance

i wanna take the lil guy on the right home and stick him in a bunch of plushies like ET.

#I think personally I'm liking it best when they have either Only Eyes or Only Mouth but not both #Idk why it itches that itch for me but it does

@prehistoricsilverfish I agree. my plan is to only give it eyes most of the time. it only gets a mouth on special occasions (LOLing, angry roaring so as to menace the object of its ire with fangs, etc).

potential additions since last night

I told a discord bud I'm shooting for vintage halloween jack-o-lantern level face and then i went hey i made a cool looking jack-o-lantern a couple years ago lemme recycle that design.

and i think the triangle face is closer to the vibe i want than the circle or vague block. kinda got nos-4-a2 vibes now

only focused on the face here, body's still a generic whatever. i think it'd look better if the eyes were shrunken a bit. mouth's still only for special occasions.

if you dont mind i’d like to pitch in with a thought!!

Instead of needing two eyes and leaving empty space for the mouth to occasionally appear, they could occupy the same space, and switch between depending on how you want it to look!! Excuse the terrible sketch but i hope it gets the concept across- kind of like some of the roaring knight’s sprites from deltarune !!

i'm kinda vibing with them switching out, but it'd most likely be switching between "eyes in the eye place + an empty mouth place" ←→ "mouth in the mouth place + an empty eyes place," not taking up the whole face and/or transforming into each other.

i think the design inspiration collage i slapped down didn't convey how human a design im going for here. now i appreciate a good abstract creature with no relation to human anatomy as much as the next monsterfucker. i'm in the "pyramid head is too conventionally attractive to be a 'hear me out'" camp. but that's not the current design objective. everyone's gotta think like 20% more normie.

also if i gave it an eyemouth kind of like the roaring knight from deltarune this character will foreverafter be viewed as That OC With The Face Like The Roaring Knight From Deltarune

#reblogs #oughf fitting to see this on my dash only now.. hm. Thank you tumblr i needed this.

thats completely fair lmao, i didnt know you were going for something more normal looking !,

good luck on figuring it out though!! I like the star shape, feels very silly cartoon villain that isnt actually intimidating, just looks spooky-adjacent

#reblogs #not tagging this as art i didnt really put any effort into that sketch. I’d demonstrate more as to what i mean but its super late and i don #have the brainpower for that one #if you want two eyes though they can also meld together to form the mouth!!

if you dont mind i’d like to pitch in with a thought!!

why are they blue /ref

Scape’s color palette is actually just ghost dip’s from Sock Opera for the most part! But since most images online are hard to colorpick from i have my own color palette on procreate! I made this image too to help people draw them correctly

If im putting them in an outfit thats darker than their lineart color, i usually use the screen blending mode on that outfit on max opacity and use those colors instead

ANYWAYS that wasnt what you were really asking but i felt like talking about it.

Theyre blue because they’re “dead” technically

#astral answers #scape #gf higher calling au #gravity falls #gravity falls au #dipper pines

what's up with the white dots in this ask?

(also i love scape they deserve non-horrific enrichment)

that is a fun little worldbuilding idea my friend had!! I use a lot of this au to explore how i think the mindscape works, and my friend liked the thought of fireflies in the mindscape.

While those particles of light aren’t actually living organisms, they emit light similarly to how fireflies do. Sometimes they can be fragments of images or a snippet of words cut from a string of thought.

Loose thoughts/energy like those particles can slip out of people’s dreamscapes very easily, floating away into the Lesser Mindscape.
