Mechanical Angel –> Sketch to Final Render

Cyber fantasy meets machinery in this character concept: a robotic angel with artic

Started as a pencil sketch, finished digitally I love how the purple membrane wings contrast with the metallic frame.

If you enjoy characters with personality synthetic yet soulful this one is for you.

Design details include: • Cyan visor display • Layered silver + navy armor • Mechanical bat-style wings • Bronze connectors + claws

I create original robots, creatures, humanoids, cyber angels, and hybrid concepts. If you need character art for

The second project for our creative chara design class: a remake of Chinese folklore, namely the story of the Four Dragons. I combined it with the secondary tale, which focuses mostly on the Golden Dragon, who became the 黃河 (Huáng Hé) of China.

Requirements: one of the four dragons, the Jade Emperor, and a “suffering human.” My suffering human was made with the help of @ukitakejuushiro (he’s based off of one of her OCs, who shows up in Houseki), and he looks for a place to die but meets this peculiar golden dragon who resembles a horse. At the story’s end, when the Golden Dragon is cast from the sky and sentenced to death, the human saves the dragon, who then transforms into a horse. They become lifelong partners :’))

Human: based off of Wakamori Yakaze Golden Dragon: based off of Hanzhen Cheng Li Jade Dragon: some terrifying combo of Truth and Ed Elric

Since the semester’s over, I’ll start posting my work from my Creative Character Design class this term! Our professor was the absolute best, I adore her. I feel like I’ve grown so much as an artist and a character creator.

Anyway, this was the first project: the theme, you ask? Animals! I made a harp seal who is just tryin’ his best! Dandy wants to be where the people are. His friend, the fisherman’s son, gave him his scarf and boot.

Third class project for creative character design: characters from the short story, Who Can Replace a Man? by Brian Aldiss.

I chose to do a sleek modern version. I’m really satisfied with the outcome! This assignment helped me learn how to draw more inorganic shapes...!

Creative Character Design Final Project:

Prompt: Create a story based off a song. Requirements: At least two characters, a 10+ panel music video storyboard, and character size comparison sheet Project Title: “Dream Wander” Song: “言って(Say It)” by Yorushika. Characters: Sky (elf boy), REM, Yuri (Sleep Monster)

The story revolves around an elf boy (based off Sky, who belongs to @ukitakejuushiro — thank you Danie for helping and inspiring me on all my projects this semester!) who is lured into the Cursed Forest by the evil spirit REM. REM is a demon fox (not Naruto lmao) who kidnaps village children and leads them into the forest, where other Sleep Monsters wander.

You turn into a Sleep Monster upon contact with another one, but this doesn’t happen for Sky. He follows the trail of REM’s tail feathers and encounters Yuri, a Sleep Monster. Terrified, he begins running and accidentally falls of a hidden cliff, but Yuri saves him. Yuri is friendly — she just wants to play and be friends. The two become buddies, but REM finds them and punishes Yuri for not transforming Sky into another Sleep Monster. Yuri defends Sky, but is overpowered by REM and engulfed by his tail feathers, disappearing completely.

Sky chases after, searching for his friend, but unable to find her as she’s been locked away deep in the Cursed Forest. He spends his life searching for her, growing up, freeing other Sleep Monsters in the process. Eventually, he faces off against REM again and defeats him with a blazing arrow. Released from her curse, Yuri’s true for is revealed. She is a fairy girl from another tribe, and she carries the sash that Sky had given her long ago.

The two of them are happily reunited at the end of the story!

Design research: Throughout this project (and all the previous ones), we always did extensive research via image search, sketches, class comparisons, and collaborative feedback. I started out with very complex and jumbled ideas, but simplified them to achieve this final project.

Sky’s clothing is based off of patterns and garments from traditional Filipino tribes (which Danie helped me with and inspired me to do!). I tried incorporating the shape of their sashes, shawls, and vests, as well as the patterns (which are drastically simplified for sake of story and...well, my skill level haha). I also wanted to include the face paint from another tribe, and ended up giving it to Yuri (in the form of very simple diamonds).

Finally, REM is a mixture of many animals I find sleek and beautiful, and Yuri’s Sleep Monster form is based off of a) my cat, Mochi, a round ball of chaos, and b) RED PANDAS because they are so fluffy and adorable.

It’s been a wonderful semester in this class, and I’m so happy to finish it off with a project like this!!
