So this has been a thing I've been thinking about for quite some time, and figured it'd be worth at least bringing up for discussion to get some extra thoughts on it.
As I'm sure you're aware, Leggy and Brandy have been two fairly obscure characters I've been drawing for quite a while now. Over time, I've started to worry that my versions of them are such a departure from their source material that it's just becomes a bit too far out of left field even for us in this particular niche with the scenarios I draw them in.
So, I've been thinking about perhaps just making a few more changes to their designs to maybe allow for a little more creative freedom. The big thing would be that this would help me feel a little less weird about possibly having them interacting with some of my other OCs in the future, as well as not feel so worried about possibly drawing in any unwanted attention from those outside of this space that also like these characters.
I know it's probably just me in one of my overthinking spells, but I think this'll probably be better in the long run.
However-- this isn't set in stone yet! So if you have any thoughts on the new designs, please let me know! I'm open to more-critical feedback if you either disagree or have any concerns with this idea as a whole.
Anyways, hopefully this all makes sense and doesn't confuse anyone moving forward. I'll probably make a more official announcement once I feel confident enough in their new designs!
I know I still need more practice with drawing fluids, but I also know that I need to start somewhere. Probably won't add too much more to this, sadly. It was more of a spur-of-the-moment type of thing since leaking came to mind recently. Even if it's not my best work and I sometimes feel that I go around in cycles with relearning various art-things, I'm still happy to have another chance to draw and get a little more practice in!
It was also fun coming up with a fairly easy way to draw pleated skirts that might come in handy for future drawings. Like most things, I'll probably need a few more cracks at it to get it a little more refined.
Aaaand done! I probably could've done a little more with the background, but I'm also eager to get working on some other half-started projects that I'm hoping to get started on once I'm off work. I don't want to speak too soon, but I have a really fun comic page idea involving Jake and Jesse that I think everyone is gonna love!
Edit: made ever-so-slight adjustments with the eyes and filled in a spot on his diaper that I missed.
You'd think this goober would be a little more careful with his diaper considering it's the only thing he has on, but you'd be wrong!
(I'm hoping to have a background done for this very soon to help better convey the scene. So stay tuned!)
Sorry again for the sharp decline in drawings these past few weeks. Fell a bit behind on the couple of things I was hoping to get done, and I feel it was somewhat in-part due to me trying some amino acid supplements I was taking that were said to help with achieving better focus. They seemed to help at first since they calmed my usual anxiety down a bit. But after some time, I realized that they were a bit of a double-edged sword since they were also taking away the good stress I felt of wanting to challenge myself with various projects. So I went ahead and stopped taking them for now, and I already feel more of my usual drive coming back!
I do still want to experiment with other supplements a little more to see what I can do to improve my particular brand of ADHD, but I think I'll just give myself a break from them for now.
Sorry again for not having a whole lot of stuff to post. as I was trying to work on trying to figure out how to draw things faster and more expressive, I've kinda-sorta fell down my usual rabbit hole of trying to reinvent a lot of my workflow to see where I can improve on. But unfortunately, I didn't really hit any major breakthroughs like I was hoping for.
On top of that, there's been a few things I've been trying to figure out with the designs of a few characters like Taylor here. I like the idea of him being able to both stand upright and walk on all fours like a horse, so I've been thinking about giving him these opposable hooves kinda like what they had in Friendship is Magic. I'm still thinking it over, but I drew this in the meantime to just to get a feel for things. I definitely need to look at a few more references for his front hooves, but I think it's doable. Bit by bit, I'm slowly figuring things out!
Anyways, thanks again for reading and all the support!
Love the idea of this goober getting into all sorts of trouble and mishaps while trying to stay cool on a hot day!
Sorry for the slow uploads again. Still figuring a few things out IRL-wise and it's been a struggle to keep my thoughts in order even more than usual. It doesn't help that time just seems to absolutely fly during my workweek, and my days off usually get taken up with everything else I need to take care of before the weekend is over.
Thankfully, I have been getting a little bit better at my own way of thumbnail sketching that's been helping a lot in terms of sorting out the basic composition and posing very early on, so there's a little less to get stuck on during the rest of the process. I'm looking forward to refining it further with the big chunk of freetime I'm getting pretty soon!
