#character reference

[winterpower98]

Even without having to look up anything about MLP, I already know the villains in it are iconic. I have always loved Discord by just watching the few clips that floated around.

But then imagine how damn confused I got when I find out one of the villains is just, straight up, a fucking child! AND SOMEHOW SHE GETS A WORSE PUNISHMENT THAN OTHER BAD GUYS??

Sometimes I wonder what kinda show this is.

Yes, I took a swing at designing a 'redeemed' version of Queen Chrysalis but honestly, I am not that happy with it

Alright bye

Hi so rescue bots has been occupying the majority of my brain for like 2 months almost…. I made a funny cargo plane gal

She’s like an oversized dog who doesn’t realize how big or strong she is.

It’s my Ponysona!

I made them a reference mostly for myself, but thought maybe y’all would like to see. :)

Their name is my name, Finn. :)

Guess this will be my intro post for now!

Im Finn!

Art is mostly a way for me to express myself! I’ve been drawing since I was a small child!

If you’ve seen my art before it was likely on Deviantart (under the name Sweetmelon556) where I posted my stuff for ten years!

I’m not really great at summarizing myself. Basically though I just really like drawing ponies. I’m more or less self taught, and try to improve by drawing at least once a day! While I am open to constructive criticism, it doesn’t always mean I’ll implement it all the time! Art is fun for me, and I’m hoping to keep it that way! (Especially cause I nearly stopped drawing all together after graduating high school)

Most often I draw traditionally, but I’ve been trying to get back into digital art!

I am open for commissions!

I don’t not take requests! Sorry <\3

Before anyone freaks about the pic of me with a blunt in my mouth. I am twenty three years old. The legal age to smoke in the USA. Oh also that Korn hoodie is my fav hoodie rn. I learned today it’s for the album ‘serenity of suffering’ and today was my first time listening to it. Not my favorite Korn album but i enjoyed it! My fav Korn album (if you’re curious) is issues! :)

If you have any questions feel free to ask away!

(Maybe I low-key hope smoking will bring me closer to a swift death!)

Cute fish-man enforcer: a comprehensive artist's reference collection

I've heard people simp for him already, so I gathered screenshots. Also, to note : his ears flick, and he has third eyelids like a Na'vi Metkayina.

I caught the third eyelid in 2 different shots.

Anyway, make great art of the fish twink. He's also the first one to rush to the captive Zaunite's help, and reacts after Vi to Cait's bloodlust. He saved Mel during the attack on her speech, and rescued his enforcer buddy. He has zero lines but it's pretty obvious he has a good heart despite a snooty resting face.

if you know what his name is, drop it in comments so I can update the tags.

pretty boi

re-vamping and solidifying my Jason design for "door, opening" my in-progress fic! if you don't want to read my handwriting it's all written out in alt text lol 👍 EDIT: see Dick over here!

Took a bit of time to myself to finally sketch out my vision for Frida based off Andy Suriano’s Farewell. More design thoughts under the cut.

I know some were wary of her appearing too feminine, but honestly I enjoyed the challenge of finding a way to feminize the base turtle model and stay true to Andy’s wonderful design. I don’t want her to just look like her brothers in a show that embraces their differences.

The biggest thing I added to her design was an exposed heart. My own little twist inspired by a real life issue some turtles deal with as well as a fitting ode to the artist she is named after, Frida Kahlo, who often drew herself with her heart floating outside of her body. (And yes I made the creative decision to keep her heart at her center as with many turtles.)

This deformity occurred during her mutation where the sudden growth spurt tore open a hole at the seam of her plastron. She has survived as long as she has because of Big Mama who uses mystic wards to keep her heart physically safe and emotionally numb. If you look closely to her plastron in the show it’s not actually a natural body part but rather seems to be an attachment of her trench coat. Likely a false cover to hide her obvious weak spot (or at least that is my head canon!)

I love the idea of her and Donnie having something they can relate to and I’m sure he’ll be happy to design chest armor for her down the line once she’s free of Big Mama. Maybe someday I’ll figure out her full Mad Dogs outfit, but for now this is just her base and bandana.

As each of the boys embodies a shape, I found it all too fitting to have Frida’s be a heart. It’s honestly a cool shape that uses both rounded forms and sharp points, which I think would encapsulate her character well. Prickly on the surface but a softy deep down. I tried to find less typical ways of feminizing her. Sharpening her beak and digits while retaining the style of feminine eyes present in most of the female cast but matching it more closely to the unsettling shape of the eyes on her assistant’s mask.

Her markings are a color flip of Mikey’s, where as his are yellow spots with orange outlines hers are orange with yellow outlines. Coupled with her yellow eyes to match Donnie and Raph, it gives her this fiery vibe that I think still sets her far apart from Mikey.

The mask was honestly the hardest part. I love that it further accentuates her heart motif and made her more expressive, but just giving her the obvious bow and calling it a day did not sit well with me. I decided to try more of a high ponytail look, but I think it still needs some work. I’m pretty sure I like her with yellow though, both as a nod to Jennika and the idea of April giving her something of her own to help form the bond between the two.

Would love to flesh her out further but back to my usual stuff first.
