TIME FOR AN UPGRADE! | Redesigning My Old Character | Filling A Spread in My Sketchbook

I have a gazillion character in loads of different universes with even more story lines. Sometimes they leak into reality in the from of art or text. Today, it ended up in art form and omg this might happen more often. I forgot how fun it is. Do you have any stories and characters that you created that you enjoy drawing?

Nanowrimo gave me the inspiration to really think about my story. I'm not doing the 1667 words a day. But I'm just taking time to close my eyes and think about how/what/when/where things happen. In particular for this Character, currently called Stucki Maria Romero Mendez and the story she is a side character of.

I love drawing characters from stories I write or make up in my head, it's honestly my favorite part about being a writer and an artist!

“Do you have stories for your characters?”
Would you like to see my multiple google docs and spreadsheets about the outfit and setting and backstory and family tree anout the one character I half sketched in glittery orange ink in my lined math notebook?

"She's been through some stuff...she holds the world on her shoulders"
*dots the i's with hearts*
SHE'S S O F T

Rin: "Do you have characters? Do you have stories for them?"
*Me thinking of the characters that I've been mentally developing for 8+ years* : "You could say that"

“She’s just tryin’ to stay alive and looks cool in the process”
Literally every post-apocalyptic movie ever and I am NOT complaining, I am in fact LOVING IT.

[birdinafedora]

I feel like an initiation process to becoming an artist is just having a thousand oc’s and loving them all equally

[phoenyxillustratesx]

Rin: *posts*


Me: whelp, procrastination isn’t procrastination if you’re creating art 👌🏻

Nobody:
Rin: *draws almost whole body in 10 seconds*

"Everyone has a post apocalypse story."
Bold of you to assume I just have one.

[villagecryptid]

“post apocalyptic story; so cliche”
me: *hides a year-and-half’s work of character designs and storyline work*

[sophia-txoj]

I’m curious about this new “story” of yours. Not to mention, I’m already obsessed with Stucki Mendez. Can’t wait ;)

[ellemurano]

*"There's no fast fashion in the apocalypse."*
My friend and I have a running joke that the first thing her characters do in their apocalyptic world is raid a gucci store. So basically:
Ronette: we need to get to safe-
Julien and Omar: *arm loads of clothes* what?

"Curviness is not in the cards for her"
What the Lord said when he made me

[livrose]

You constantly referring to her as “character” at the beginning had me thinking it might be a cool challenge to take character descriptions from books and try to draw them then compare to see how different the interpretations could be from different artists

[dianellysalmanzar]

Me watching your godly art skills:


Commercial interrupts and says “HOTPOCKETS”:

[arden]

*whispers* "you're next"


I don't know why that was so funny to me. 😂😂

[im_smort]

Rin: redesigning my old character

Me: that’s all I do

[littlebugguy]

Oh, don’t ask me about my stories, you’ll escape 3 days later with a movie storyboard and merchandise.

*I am very passionate about my characters.*

Rin: trying to perfect her hoodie


Me: trying to perfect my stick figure (its a very beautiful stick figure if you were wondering uwu)
