I went from deciding “If I do any art tonight it will be the Queer Canyon title screen” to oh i wanna sketch
to “i wanna work on those vertigo and roga character sketches on my computer from months ago” (i added very little tonight)
to “oh i should remake that old unfinished pride ocs thing from 2016(?) using the above drawing file since i’m already doing two characters per layer as sort of dress up dolls for references and drawing different clothes” (the mentioned old thing:)
to “wait i never revamped pluto and nakir’s hair like i’ve been meaning to for years” (pluto is half-spotted hyena, half italian wolf and nakir is a lion— funny enough the first time i made human versions of the trio, laki was black and the other two were white. then i decided not long after to make appearance as humans match up with where each animal species is initially from so it swapped… it took a long time to slowly change hair textures since i was so attached to my old designs. especially for major characters. honestly thanks @chromaticroses for all the posts about drawing black characters. it was a push i needed to do this small thing that felt daunting. i definitely still need to practice but it’s a start)
to “oh hey i might as well start that redraw of pluto & co since i realized it’s been four years since last time and the first one was four years before that”
and now it’s 4:30 am and i’m tired so i’m done for the night but i just wanted to share because i think things turned out good and i realized i hardly post on this blog (though tbf i’ve hardly drawn in the last year)
i’ve had the trio as characters for almost a decade now. thanks for all the ocs, young teen me. many have changed over the years, but at their core, most of them are the same people they used to be and have very similar designs to back then as well.
let your characters evolve as you learn and experience new things, and let what you want them to be push you to learn and experience even more new things whether it’s falling down a research rabbit hole on a period in history or on a gender identity, or learning to draw a new body type
anyways the melatonin is kicking in. good night
