- Sadie and The Starlites -
In the early conceptions for my character; Sadie mac Lir. I’ve always liked the idea of a peculiar girl whose friends with mysterious flying-walking-swimming creatures like some kind of twisted but cute Princess.
So this post will include some extras for the creatures themselves and some info about the revamped Sadie. For Sadie, I’m having tons of fun with her. The tough part about Sadie is to make the hair feel like normal hair and be consistent with it. I also noticed that Sadie’s skin color looks odd when compared with my PC and my phone so, behind the scenes, I sampled some colors, exported them, checked and picked the right tone.
I’m also making use of social media, finding girls with short hair, figuring out the length and how the hair curls. Its tricky because there quite a few ways to draw it. Either with a guiding shape to map out the details or eyeballing it. In the end, I chose eyeballing because it felt right. Might have to look into more tips but yeah, I’m making it up as I go.
As for this new species of magical creatures, they are called; Starlites. They were meant to be this kind of animal cell-like thing with a nucleus. Still an early concept but this is where I would want to create Sadie’s companion. Finn or Finz. I would still want to tweak it more, change the name a bit but here is the draft version.
On a final note, I’d like to thank the several familiar faces.

One last thing, here’s a smug face Sadie.
