Sorry for the repost but I changed the lighting to make the drawing look a little more serene !!

I like to imagine these guys as Finn and Jake if the shows creator had played more dark souls. I made a little redesign just to mess around with my own art style a bit and to explore Jake’s potential as a shapeshifting creature because I think it’s genuinely a very interesting character design

I wanna write out a story for this one but I don’t have any time, for now I’m gonna call them the eye collector and I’m thinking of having them steal the eyes of their victims every time they assassinate someone (I’m also not that happy with the design yet but I see potential !)

Will I ever develop this guy’s story into a game instead of just drawing him looking pretty over and over? Unlikely ✨

Apsa, the Aspen Blacksmith
Tumblr media
This is Apsa; the result of an internship assignment for a character design internship position. If you want to see some sketches and read about my process, keep reading :)
The prompt I got assigned is as follows:
“A friendly Warforged blacksmith who has discovered a very roundabout way to imbue forged items with magic, or at least he thinks that all of this is necessary. We want this character to be lovable and have some indication of how their method (or lack thereof) works”.
Tumblr media
I started out with some sketches based on mood boards to decide in which direction I wanted to take this design.
Tumblr media
After I finished exploring the prompt, I came up with three concepts and chose #3 based on how well that character fit the description that was given to me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rest of the process consisted mainly of adding details and changing the silhouette to make the character stand out as a blacksmith. For the coloration I picked colors that resemble aspen trees. I made the leaves resemble a forge’s fire by adding red autumn leaves to the tree on his back and I made his “skin” a little darker than a regular aspen tree to indicate all the years of dirt that’s accumulated on his skin.
Tumblr media
For the assignment I also wrote a couple of lines to explain his character and methods; “This is Apsa, a kind Warforged blacksmith with a tree growing from his back. The berries from this tree glow bright blue and Apsa takes care of them religiously, making sure to be extremely careful around fire and building his entire lifestyle around the tree on his back so it can prosper. Apsa uses the berries to “magically activate his tools” and despite him firmly believing it to be a magical process, the red glow on his hammer is really just a chemical reaction between the berries and the hammer’s material”.

I’ve been playing hollow knight again and it feels nostalgic to be back in hallownest, interacting with quirrel almost feels like getting in touch with an old friend
I don’t have a lot of time for personal drawings so I won’t finish this anytime soon but I hope y’all are satisfied with this little work in progress :)

Updated an older drawing; I gave it a simple background to give the painting some depth and added some more details

Druid meeting a spore raven
This was one of my first paintings on Procreate so it’s pretty old but I still really like the way the owl turned out, it’s a very messy painting and it’s far from perfect but I still like looking back at it and seeing how my art has changed over the last year
