Some doodles of Greegori and Magentine as I try to solidify their designs and play around with posing them.

Trying to figure out Greegori’s body type and shape. Shes always been tricky for me. Just gonna keep on doodling her, once I get the shape down I’ll try to figure out a quirk for her.

Greegori

Greegori is the Hueminn in charge of Healing dreams. Their theme is primarily growth and healing. They’re very nurturing, gentle, and shy. However that doesnt mean they cant be tough when they need to be. Greegori doesnt talk a lot but when they do it can be pretty blunt. Sometimes hearing what they have to say is tough but its never meant to be malicious rather Greegori just sees the best you you could be and is keen to remove the weeds hindering your growth. 

Greegori doesnt like to cause pain but knows that sometimes a forest needs a fire to grow. Dont fret. Greegori isnt just about dealing with the tough stuff, they know it shard and theyre happy to be as kind and sweet right after.  Greegori’s powers ties into with plants and they’re able to make foilage grow wherever they please as well as control its growth and purpose. Theyre extremely in tune with nature and have the usual ability to speak to plants/animals.  Their appearance and quirk is based on a tree. They have three arms and a tail of varying sizes like the branches of a tree. Their eye is on their stomach which is meant to mimic the holes you sometimes see in trees but also is a little more metaphorical representing ‘gut feelings’ or natural instincts. Their hair is also meant to mimic foilage.

6. Describe Your Character Creation Process.

Oooh. It is honestly all over the place. Honestly Im guilty of making designs first and later just giving them names and personalities later as I need to. Usually this happens when I have a very clear idea in my head for a design, Like so:

Love the design but literally no name or idea about who or what they are. Usually what happens is later I’ll need a character to fulfill a role and just kinda skim through designs and characters I’ve neglected and just apply them to the role.

There are times when I do think of a character and role first and then have to do a design from scratch. Its a much more intensive and sloppy process though and often takes a few rounds to actually start to get something I like.

Magentine for example is a character I’ve been trying to design for years now but never quite found the right shape. I have her voice, her personality, her purpose all ready to go just dont have a look to match. Usually with these my drawings are pretty sloppy and chicken scratch because I’m just trying to belt out as many ideas as I can instead of hyperfocus on one. Theres usually pages and pages of these.

Greegori is an example of one where I have a loose idea but still just cant quite smooth out the details. Doodles tend to be more coherent but still just making tweaks and exploring options.

Posting a bunch of sketchbook pages from the past month or so. Mostly notes and ideas for original characters including the Fabricians and Dreamons. Sketchbook is good for me to figure out anything from worldbuilding to body types.
