I have a new printer and scanner and luckily I've been sketching traditionally lately so I can test the settings. A bunch of OCs

[sfaira]

My design and headcanons for Asa are all over the place so I sat to some fun explorations of his hair. He's my first character that I actually envision changing his hairstyle throughout the years. My idea is that altough I adore the bangs look he gets rid of it somewhere after school when visiting and touring the US, and has plain simple long hair for most of his career. I wanted him to reach Stage 3 as an editor in chief, so As much as the volume change isn't fully logical here are the Trent Crimm adjacent explorations.

Weekend doodles as a break from portfolio work

[sfaira]

Last sketches of 2023 from finishing all the free spaces in my sketchbook! Younger and older Hektor and Asa as well!

[sfaira]

A little break from art fight for oc sketchpage

[sfaira]

Part two of my vacation sketches, wizarding ocs

[sfaira]

Artists, have you ever thought which childhood characters and movies influenced your favourite oc's? I started thinking about it recently and made these boards of characters or people whose looks, vibe, plot or personality contributed to my kids.

For Asa there's some more recent additions (ESSENTIAL John Denver is indeed essential) as he's a fairly recent OC, but he got traits from my childhood movie characters too.

Hektor is basically a Core Memory based in whole, with some of these characters having a place in my heart since I was like five. (Balto has always been my role model and Gill... damn I was obsessed with Gill and it's terrible how hard it is to roleplay a fish)

I'm sure there's a ton of other inspirations, especially for Hektor, but those are the ones I thought of first.

Reblog! Tagg people! Do it yourself! It's fun!

[sfaira]

I felt I need to sketch some hare version of Asa, and it makes me happy, because for the whole week I had almost no will to draw. It happens sometimes but I hate it, especially that I felt I could be doing studies on vacation.

OC doodles

[sfaira]

Grounded sick with covid for the whole week. I'd love to draw a lot, but sadly there's only a few doodles I managed to do. OCs Asa and Hektor

[sfaira]

I decided Asa gets rid of his bangs at some point, and has plain long hair as an adult, but I didn't like the flat shape I used to draw, so I'm exploring some shorter but more interesting hairstyles

[sfaira]

Some more weekend sketches, started as glasses practice, I tend to make them too flat

[sfaira]

I'm almost done with client work and let myself spend some time OC sketching

[sfaira]

Asa's animal equivalent is a hare so I drew this to prove it
