Clara | she/her | art tag: #Clara’s Illustrations | Commissions are OPEN | I’m a fashion designer who enjoys illustrating and character design and is way too invested in the Redactedverse
Hello… so it’s been a long time. How are you guys doing? I brought you an apology gift 🎁 to make up for the fact I disappeared off the face of the earth for two years… life and stuff you know
So I made you a puppy, I hope you like him. I know people were asking for him a lot back then so hopefully you still enjoy him two years later. I’m happy with how he turned out, considering I couldn’t nail his design for the longest time.
Edit: also his height should be saying 5.7 foot. I just suck at freedom units. I think 5.6 might even be better actually
Small life update for people that care, if not just skip:
So in the last two years I got caught up with my final year and university, and my graduate collection and dissertation and a really big competition (which I am happy to say I won 😌😝). Then after graduation I had a horrible time finding a new apartment (screw the London rental market) and then I started a three months internship which turned into a 7 months internship and ended beginning of April and now I’m job hunting (not fun, do not recommend) and thus between staring at listing for junior positions that ask for 3 years of experience and “unpaid opportunities” I had the time to actually sit down and draw something and re-listen some of the older audios, so here we are. So yeah, in summary, I am alive.
Ok Im sorry this comment sent me into hysterics and I did a 5 minute sketch while listening to the audio. It’s shit but I love it.
Also small rant I AM SO MAD THAT ERIK DIDN’T TELL US WHAT THE THEME OF THIS SUMMIT IS! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DESIGN OUTFITS IF I DONT KNOW THE THEME!!!!!
Sooo I felt compelled to draw my version of Doc simply because I had a good idea of what I want them and Hush to look like and what I imagine their dynamic to be like. They are a very sweet and kind person, proud bunny owner, plant mom and Florist. Oh and their Toxic Trait? Thinking they can “Fix People” because they are just “Misunderstood and hurting” so yeah…
Also I need a name for their fluffy companion so drop suggestions. He is a Latté coloured, flop eared, indoor bunny and he doesn’t like Hush
“I finally found somewhere that feels safe and it’s in hell of all places. But it’s not really the place. I found someone that feels safe”
Stop it Avior I’m gonna cry 😭
“I didn’t think I cared for touch before I met you. A physical form wasn’t something that appealed to me, it was a necessity of being on elegy, nothing more, nothing less. The sensations were alien (…) But being with you (…) It changed things, in the best way imaginable. Touch with you isn’t Alien, it’s a privilege I delight in, a revelry and release. (…) A connection, I didn’t know I wanted that. I didn’t know I could find that in the physical (…) I thought those were emotions for people besides myself”
Soooo I usually don’t have HC about characters sexuality but I feel comfortable welcoming Avior in the Demisexual club, we are happy to have you love. This dialogue made me irrationally happy 💜🖤🤍
(I’m not gonna spill anymore because it’s obviously paid for content. I heavily abbreviated and simply included the parts of that very long dialogue that I felt necessary to get my point across. These three tiny snippets just made me really happy and I wanted to share my thoughts)
Ah yes, Starlight. Now that they are out of hell they finally have use for some cute outfits so I made some. I made 4 kinda Academia inspired ones and 2 celestial ones with one formal look. I’m a big fan of the formal look
The overall vibe I’m getting is Ravenclaw, “I never got anything below 95% in my life”, “Astrophysics is my passion” and “I play Tennis” (for some reason).
Original Design:
Starlight our beautiful human 20 questions game 💫💙 this took so many tries but I think they turned out super pretty
(I made 3 illustrations
It’s very cutesy but I kinda like it, it contrast well with the Gremlin Energy. Also I think it’s funny how adorable and small they would look next to giant scary dark and brooding Davey. I don’t think a lot of people will like this but oh well, too bad.
I also wanted a Kirby inspired Outfit but ran out of creative energy
Here is the original design:
This is long Overdue; meet Angel. The most adorable little snot you have ever met 🥰 beautiful princess, ““recovering”” Minecraft addict, gam
Looking malnourished and close to death but still hot as per usual (keep in mind I intentionally designed them borderline too skinny because I think they overwork and their diet is 90% black coffee and 10% microwave food, this is not a normal weight for majority of people)
They are very much 🔎30s/40s crime flick🔎 + ✨women in suits✨ with a large sprinkle of gender envy. Threw in some formal wear for the hell of it, maybe an undercover mission at a fancy ball, now ain’t that a fanfiction in the making?
Look at me taking different hairstyles into consideration (and no hands but you can’t have it all ok)
Original design:
Here they are, in all their malnourished and sleep deprived glory, Sweetheart. This took quite some time to figure out because they are such
When @claracatlady shared the brilliant headcanon that William Solaire owns a pampered, spoiled ragdoll cat named Bob, I was inspired to imagine how Bob and Aggro would get along, resulting in this post, and then this post, and then even a few fics that feature cameo appearances by Bob. (This fic is complete, while this one is currently ongoing. Recently, though, @slushiepizza shared that they headcanon Guy and Honey adopted a cat named Cheese. Obviously, this development led me to wonder how this kitty trio might cross paths...
Despite their many differences in lifestyle, fur type, and preferred petting, Aggro and Bob are best friends. It's no surprise that during a playdate, Milo gives William the name and contact information of Aggro's feline-exclusive vet when William decides that he won't subject Bob to a waiting room full of barking dogs, squawking birds, and even the occasional ferret scurrying about the floor. By pure happenstance, Aggro ends up getting stung by a bee the same day as Bob has his first annual check-up.
The diagnoses? Aggro is going to be just fine, though he needs to stay the night due to the heavy bout of antibiotics he's on to prevent his eye from developing an infection. Bob is in tip-top shape, but due to the vet wanting to be thorough and get a baseline of Bob's health, he will have to stay the night to complete some bloodwork and wait for the results.
William and Milo are so sad to leave their sons at the vet, but their health comes first. So, after many goodbye kisses and pets, they leave with empty carriers, counting down the hours until they can pick up their cats again. They are supposed to return to pick them up around 4PM the following day.
Meanwhile, Bob and Aggro are settled into the back room. The staff takes very good care of all boarding patients, including a spacious cage, providing soft towels, a clean litter box, and nutritious food based on the cat's health.
But, still. It's the vet. And Aggro and Bob hate the vet. They hate being in this strange place, with strange people, who all smell and sound strange. It's awful, and neither cat has any problem making that displeasure known. They hiss and growl, swat and bite. If given the chance, they'll even make a break for it and try to escape into the examination rooms. When any staff member tries to do anything to Aggro or Bob, they have to wear big, thick gloves and sometimes, even try to get a mask over their eyes to "relax" them.
Neither Bob nor Aggro finds that mask relaxing. And, yes, they take it off.
Bob and Aggro happen to be placed in adjacent cages, facing a cage that is occupied by none other than Cheese, who is waiting patiently and quietly for her humans to come get her. She is a good girl. Guy and Honey always tell her so. She does not bite or claw, because that would be rude. The staff all speak nicely and softly to her, even if they are jamming some syringe full of icky-tasting liquid down her throat. When Cheese arrived at the vet, her paw really, really hurt when she walked on it. Now, her paw still hurt a little bit, but it was much better, so these different humans must have been doing something good.
Aggro, ever one to establish himself as alpha-cat no matter what kind of medication he was taking, yowls at this newcomer. He puffs himself up so that his gray fur stands on end, claws extended, as he side-hops around the edge of the cage. Bob is unamused, licking at the paw the vet tech had the gall to shave to draw blood from him.
Cheese stares at Aggro with odd fascination. She's not used to aggression in the slightest. "Me-rrow?" She pushes a ball towards Aggro, through the bars of his cage. Maybe if this gray cat batted around a ball, he'd feel better? Batting around a ball always made Cheese feel happy, especially when Guy chased it around with her
Aggro continues his tirade. Bob, however, suddenly grows attentive when he saw the ball hop out of Cheese's cage and onto the hard floor. Bob loves chasing balls around William's mansion. And suddenly, the fact that he was cooped up in a cage is quite an inconvenience. Ever one to handle inconveniences, Bob begins to scream his displeasure, begging for someone to procure that ball from him.
Cheese pulls her ears back at Bob's desperate cries. She flattens herself against the floor, long fur splaying out from her belly. All she had wanted to do was share her ball, and now these other cats were all upset.
Alarmed at his friends sudden change in demeanor, Aggro joins the calls, adding his own voice. The chorus of cries rang out loudly, echoing throughout the room and beyond.
Soon enough, Cheese, too, feels compelled to join in with the meowing. It looks fun, and she always wants to help. She let her own voice squeaky voice add a particularly desperate, pitiful tone to the song.
It doesn't take long for a human to come bursting into the room. "Oh my gosh, what is it?" they ask worriedly. "What's wrong? What?" They spot the ball on the floor. They quickly retrieve that ball and two others, giving one to each cat, before rushing off to an examine room. "Bye now! Be good!" they trill.
Silence falls over the room as Aggro, Bob, and Cheese enjoy the spoils of their vocal hunt...
...until the cats collectively realize the power that their voices held when together. Alone? They were powerless. But together?
They had this vet clinic at their back and meow.
It's a long, long day for the staff. At 8:01AM, Milo, William, and Guy all receive the following phone call:
"Hi, yes, your cat is all set and ready to come home. Could you come pick up your cat early? As early as you can get here, preferably. Aggro/Bob/Cheese just really wants to come home. Please? Please come get your cat?"
Aggro, Bob, and Cheese hate the vet, but they are quite pleased to have made a new friend.
Since Lovely got some new Outfits it’s only fair if Freelancer gets some too
My Freelander really needed some new clothes so here are some ideas, again original + Pinterest brainrot. They have relaxed eternal summer vibes.
A (Character) design tip that no one asked for: when creating the wardrobe for a character it is helpful to not only keep their general aesthetic in mind but rather create a list of key themes that you stick to. For example a consistant colour palette, a reoccurring silhouette or fabric or pattern. As you can see my Freelancers colours are white, black, red and various shades of green toned blue and the reoccurring fabric in this case is Jeans, the consistent silhouette is exposed midriff and the consistent item are sneakers. So even though all the clothing pieces are very different they still feel connected and related to the character
Here’s the original design
Our most favourite devious Freelancer 😉 OK listen; am I straight? Yes. Would I date them? Maybe.
There is a tiny Inversion Easter Egg. If
Here are some quick and messy Outfit designs for Lovely. It’s a combination of original ideas, Pinterest vampire core brain rot and Vivienne Westwood, because obviously there is Vivienne Westwood.
I know I did the poll and Guy won and everything and I DID draw a design… and I hated it. I drew 3 DESIGNS… and still hated it. I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with it and then I’ll try again. I know what I want him to look like but my drawing doesn’t reflect it and I’m frustrated so I did this instead to have fun
Original Lovely Design
I did it, I’m finally done! Here is my first listener design, Lovely. I had a lot of fun, especially with coming up with the clothing and ov
I’m struggling so hard with my drawing of guy and it’s not funny anymore. Like I know what I want him to look like but I just can’t seem to get it right ugh 😑
