helloo!!!

Mind if u could give us some art tips you use when drawing octonauts characters

ty for the ask, i can try : ]

im gonna use my fav octonaut as an example; tweak !

i base my designs of the octonauts on their jobs, personalities, and the animal they are, so tweak is visibly very strong (thanks to being a mechanic) and has more prominent rabbit/hare-like features. if this were kwazii, he'd be a lot leaner and scarred. i usually draw him shirtless because i imagine he'd be the type to do that lmao. all in all i just sort of do whatever feels best for their character

i have yet to really make their designs my own, so i also get a lot of inspo from other artists in the fandom. i recommend checking them out too if u havent already, they r all really cool : ]

i know this probably wasnt the most helpful, but i hope u got something out of it ! feel free to take inspo from my designs if u need to :]

How do you (microwave?) your art like that it looks awesome

hi ty for the ask ! : ] i explain my entire process under the cut yayy

i assume ur talking about the textures and general look of my art, and for that i have screenshots from the timelapse of a recent piece of mine : ]

first the sketch,

i get a lot of inspo for poses and stuff from pinterest and the stuff i like :] my biggest inspos are the Saw movies, the Ginger Snaps movies, and Machine Girl!

next is the lineart

i like to use pure black to start off with

then the textures!!!

i like to stack around 3-4 textures on top of each other to get the effect u see in my art. it doesnt rlly matter what u use specifically, but i rlly like using fleshy, sorta veiny patterns. i get these from pinterest

im gonna put these two together

my NUMBER ONE TOOL!! is gradient maps!!! my fav color is green so i use that a lot. i also add a texture on top of the lineart at this point and lower the opacity to around 15%-30%

finally i use a TON of filters

posterize, another gradient map, glow, unsharp mask; just whatever works really

and heres the finished piece : ] hope that helped ya

What got you into ship dashi and tweak?

honestly i dont know !! my best guess is that once i really got into the fandom and saw art of them there, i just thought they were really cute together : ]
