Uploading old art (2021 OCs)

introducing myself So I have a lot of art from the past two years I haven’t been on this site for because I’ve just been on Twitter. Guess I’ll just upload them en masse, then when I start getting to the really recent stuff, I’l upload them individually. Gonna do things batch by batch to avoid clustering one post, so this one will be fore my 2021 OCs, then my 2021 stickers, 2021 illustrations etc etc

All the new OCs I designed in 2021 for my own fantasy world building project. Posting their final renders and sketches below to show my character design development process. This is a long post since it’s recapping a year’s worth of work. But congrats to anyone that goes the whole way through, its gonna be a doozy.

Twitter refugee

Haven’t used this site since 2020 since I shifted to being a twitter frog. Even if the blue bird app doesn’t die, I guess this is somewhere else to post my art? 

Hi I’m gwnn, they / them, and I do original character art as well as worldbuilding. Wonder if there’s a way to do one of those “Show me your OCs” posts like they do on twitter ( . _ .) I’ll do one of those art dumps to post all the lore and character art I’ve done since 2020. I swear I’ve gotten better since then. Or at least I sure hope so.

2020 is here.

"Occult: Digitizing Magic Quest” . My magnum opus if you will. My best work as of the time of posting this. . Back in 2015 when I did my GCSE graphic design course, I had created a board game for my final project, simply named “Magic Quest”. After that project ended, I was still enamored with my game and wanted to improve it even more. Like not just for a school project now, this was a full fledged project I wanted to pursue, to the point of looking like a legitimate published final game. .  It has been 3 years in the making, with dozens upon dozens of various changes to both the game mechanics and the game art itself, as well as the very name of the game. But as of now, I have created a conceptualized client and game interface that I can truly say I am proud of.  . This tumblr has been dead for a while, but I plan to use this in conjunction with my Instagram to post higher quality / full size images of my art which can be found at https://www.instagram.com/jiyuu_rakka/. I also will post updates whilst drawing and pitch ideas via my twitter here: https://twitter.com/nightcoremei_, so follow there if you want.  . That’s all from me now. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed what you saw.

“Merri-L 05″

.

.

.

Instagram’s best filter hands down is Sierra. Like there’s no actual context. But when posting to Tumblr, I prefer the unfiltered versions. Oh well.  CNY just passed, so it’s the final holiday before final exams (The rest of you IB students all know that Easter doesn’t count as a holiday). So I’m just trying to enjoy life as is, so another Merri-L piece. Started using my twitter again, so that’s something cool . . . I guess? Probably should check it out.

[Merri-L FanTasy] A narrative project /concept for my university portfolio. First 3 pictures are for promotional art or cover pages. The other photos are character sheets. . . . Happy 2018 to everyone. Let this year be a good one. This here is a piece from an NYU concept pdf I sent them: [Merri-L FanTasy]. Speaking of which should I post the rest of my portfolio here? Or would you guys rather I don’t clutter your feeds? Oh I should also add, NYU application has been sent. God bless my application ●﹏●

Mock-up for board game digital login screen.

.

.

. Another portfolio piece. This time animated. I have been working on a formal presentation document to give to NYU for the application so here is a part of it.  14 frames of animation.

Haven’t worked on the board game project for around 3 months, so I’m starting again with 3 new cards. Wyvern Hawk, Tuksa and Viruorm. . . . Yay it’s Christmas break. Which means that Univeristy portfolios are close and a very real concern now. I’ve been uploading my portfolio items on there, so if you could check them out there, that’d be much appreciated. #NYUandUSCPleaseHaveMercy #CanMyLackOfIBArtBeComp4nsated for? #doodle #digitalart #carddesign #boardgame #illustration #monsterdesign #creaturedesign (at Taikoo Place)

"Lyktar, the Lantern’s Shadow” Development page

.

.

.

Next piece of the portfolio. The whole development process of another piece I posted, from paper to computer. The page layout is actually perfect for Tumblr, with everything being so long and straight down. Extensive experimentation with various body types, head shapes, eye styles and weapons.

Been gone a while; trying to get off IB’s wild ride, then university applications enter the left stage and wallop me with more deadlines. But hey, reaching that final stage, so I’ll be dumping a bunch of my portfolio pieces on here over the next month. :^ )))

. 

.

.

This here is a small animation I whipped up using some of the character art from my major game project. Compared to my GIFs of 2016, this is so much smoother since this has 31 frames as opposed to like 12.

"Untitled" . . . For art portfolio. NYU and USC, accept me please ; - ;
