Concepts, Sketches, and WIPs

It's been a while so here's a little update of some things I've been working on! There's not a whole lot here since most of this time has been spent on world building and writing, but I do have some stuff to show.

First up is what was ORIGINALLY part of Inktober, but it slipped through the cracks pretty much immediately lmao. Using this mainly to start getting a stronger idea of Ridgeland's territory but also drawing characters I haven't drawn in a long time. From closest to farthest you have Echo, Cinder, Shrew, and Maple. Echo and Shrew are long time hiking buddies and opted to bring their daughters with them on this outing. HOPEFULLY I'll have this one finished soon.

These are the warmups I did of Echo(left) and Shrew(right) before starting on the hiking sketch. I'm still in the stage of trying to figure out effective ways to translate designs I made intended for quadrapedal characters into bipedal designs so any warmups of this nature are also experimental. I do think when I made these, I just about hit a stride I like, though!

Next up are these character concepts. These were drawn up several months apart. The first is a character named Yucca who lived LONG before the current time Falling Stars takes place in. Her background is pretty important to the lore, so I can't get much into it at the moment, unfortunately. The next is named Peach, and she's a cat of Pluoca. She was the first character I had drawn in the current style, and so this sketch laid the groundwork going forward. I'll get more into her story when I get around to doing proper character sheets later on.

Now onto two flag designs/sketches that are bound to change a bit, one for Ridgeland(left) and one for Rusland(right). I was thinking of having hairly consistent flag designs between the different nations, but I'm not sure if I'll be sticking to that in the end. Not TOO fond of Ridgeland's flag, honestly, but I do like Rusland's sketch a lot.

And finally, some sketches from when I just started reworking Falling Stars! The first is a set of sketches I made trying to figure out how I wanted to draw the cats upright, VERY trial and error. Peach's sketch came from this page. The second is an idea I had for what animals the cats may have domesticated, but I ended up scrapping it for something else. Still kinda like it, considering I hadn't drawn a Pronghorn before then.
