#just a little sketchy wetchy

[coffin-of-dust]

Some more things about Flint! -Flint is something known as a "chimera" as he has two sets of DNA, his original and the DNA of the cat he was fused with through a mix of science and dark magic.

-Do NOT call him a mongrel, a beast, etc. Do not call him anything in reference to his cat-chimera status, or it's going to be on sight for as long as you're alive-- Anderson learned that the day they met. -Flint sometimes lays in peoples' laps like a cat who doesn't realize he's too big, and he's super nonchalant about it because his joints hurt and heat helps.

-He is a misanthrope in the most literal sense and tends to dislike humans or have a general distrust. He also tends to be stand-offish with most women--The director of his super soldier program, "Project Hellcat," was a cruel woman. -he actually is very insecure about how he looks and is often disgusted by his own body, he hates mirrors. He also finds many of his habits/instincts distasteful and often annoying. -He is sound and smell sensitive. -He remembers very little of his childhood and life before the program.

Father and daughter from one of my wips!

It would take absolutely forever to explain this but just believe me when I say ocs have been consuming me for the past week, so here's a little sketchy wetchy that I may or may not have pressed too hard when lining

[pikabian]

so like ima make a post of y progress shots because idk i think theyre fun. ill put it under a read more because otherwise it long af

i first just like brain storm basic ideas rlly messily in small thumbnail stages to like? rlly think about composition i guess and figure out what i want to convey? i have like at least two ideas and i pick the one i like the best and use it as something to work from

then its sketchy wetchy time, first with just like basic circles and stuffs and then actually going in and adding some detail? i dont really add in like loads because i like to keep lining loose and stuff

then i try adding the rough idea for colours n stuffs, just so i kinda know what im working with (like as a base for what i wanna convey again)

but yea like i said with the sketch i  dont rlly add details till this stage, the lining phase, most notably with the hair u know. i feel like i cant really sketch most of the details and im better at just lining it straight off u know? i dont mind if it comes out a little bit messy so long as i convey what im trying to convey

we block in like minecraft.png. i add in the base colours and markings on AB and Lucky as well as some of the block background colours. i havent added all the colours in lucky’s mane just yet bc that takes effort lol

then i start building up the background? i really hate doing backgrounds so much and tend not to do them pretty much 99% of the time, but like im rlly got dam trying here

added the extra mane colours finally lol

then i actually get to work on shading. i haventrlly gone into the process of how i shade bc thats a whole other thing in itself, but it sorta involves like soft and hard shading n stuff u kno, as well as adding in highlights

like i have a set process/rule of how i shade and sorta just play around with it till i like how it looks u kno. i also do one character at a time because am impatient

added tuh lucky. kinda felt iffy about her shading but i think its bc she’s more bright and multicoloured than apple bloom is so. i can make it werk

changed the colour of the lines from black to a sort of dark blue. its kinda not rlly noticeable but like i kinda like it

added some extra clovers over the top because dey kinda just b like floating in the background. at this point tho i was sick of drawing clovers so i feel like i could have added more. also lucky’s hair got sparkles now

dont usually add cutie marks because im lazy but they were kinda important for what this scene was trying to convey. also yes apple blooms cutie mark is different from canon cause i hate her canon one

added the final touches, which is mostly just random overlays and stuff as any artistic professional does obv. i spent like way too long on this piece and i dont rlly have what i wanted to show for it, but oh well. das it. it done
