mARTch day 1: Self portrait I don't like who I am in the real world. Sometimes it feels funny, almost ironic, that my physical self feels more like a ghost than my persona.

I promise the rest of mARTch will NOT be as depressing, I just don't like myself <3

mARTch day 7 Hand Study

I wanted an excuse to post this and I am so happy Hand was on this list.

Ranging in the right corner are civilians in the story (most are students, so I have them different writing utensils) and then in the left are villains, so they're all using their powers n stuff. The bottom three are the heroes in the story.

Honorable mentions because I'm proud of a few of these:

Our Main character and the first one I drew + Carlos. I really like how I rendered this one

I'm so proud of the blood on this one (main villain!!) + Vilarious (I used my own language I'm creating while rendering this hand and, while it's hard to see, I was just so happy with it)

mARTch day 8 Pose Study

I think I should go back to the days when I sketched on paper and rendered on digital because wow this was so much easier.

Okay mARTch stuff done now I'm going to talk about my oc.

Alek (aka Undertow) is sorta newer than the other two main characters in this story (by that I mean he was someone else entirely). So he's going through his character design arc right now. He's meant to be a second or third generation aquatic humanoid, but I am having a hard time finding a balance between attributes. This time around, I gave him a gator tail and added external gills like axolotls have! I think I really like the external gills but I am not sold on the tail. Nor am I happy entirely with his clothes. I like his shirt, but I'm having a hard time with everything else because I don't want to aquaman him.

I do really love his hair style, but I'm still finding the proper length. For a hot second, he had funky fins on his arms and legs, but I thought about it and objectively they would *not* help him swim as a humanoid. I'm going through all the herpetology I know trying desperately to make a sci-fi, cyberpunk+steampunk, punkrock shark boy.

No one told me character design was this hard.

mARTch day 6 Animal Study

Bork bark.

In my Live Like Legends story, there are quite a few pets. There are also evil robo dogs.

I love evil robo dogs.

The less eye strainy sketch. I couldn't help myself though.

mARTch day 11 Monochrom

Look, okay, so--we ignore that the lightest bits are more orange than red, yeah? Cool, thanks.

Agelaius needs more love in his character design and silhouette work, so I thought today would really suit him as his character overall is very Monochrome feeling. He sort of carries that Batman, emo guy vibes. To be honest, I think I might have accidentally mushed every Batkid including batman himself together to form this character...

Very Emo. Very Swag. Very Shape.

I should go back to shape. I miss having a shape-y art style. I think I'll be doing a mostly lineless style for the rest of this section of the month.
