Photo reads: This Doodle-Me's dressed as SAILOR MOON! Is there any silhouette more iconic than everyone's favourite Sailor Senshi?
FUN FACT! : Sailor Moon had a HUGE influence on my artistic journey. Like a lot of 90s kids, I was lucky enough to grow up fighting the negamoon alongside this iconic magical girl. I had a poster of Sailor Moon above my bed, and drew her in my sketchbook over and over (and over and over and over). I was obsessed! I think I still have that poster somewhere ... I should totally put it up again, this time in my "grown up" studio space :)

“the desert” is katara’s most quietly admirable episode; she manages to guide and protect the rest of the gaang while they are in precarious states under unimaginable pressure and with very few resources. katara’s tireless endurance this episode culminates in her bravery as she risks her own safety to comfort aang in the avatar state.
for an audience upon first viewing, her ability to thrive under pressure here may seem like a surprising departure from the impulsive, reactive, sensitive girl we’ve been accustomed to over the past 1.5 seasons. but sokka’s admission in “the runaway” reframes katara’s behavior in this episode.
we know that while the rest of her family was a mess, katara stepped up and gave them hope. she refused to sink into her grief—to abandon the site of her trauma like hakoda did, to give up like kanna did, or to repress and depersonalize like sokka did. she may have a temper and she may not always think things through, but she is able to communicate her emotions and refuses to cut herself off from feeling and processing her grief and rage, which is more than can be said for her brother.
and upon learning this piece of her history, you realize that her indefatigable, relentless hope and care that she displays in “the desert” is actually a pattern of behavior for her that is being repeated. when all hope seems lost and everyone in her life has abandoned faith, katara finds purpose and meaning in being the glue that holds everyone together, even when she is as grief-stricken and exhausted as the rest of them.
in moments of abject despair, katara guides her loved ones and herself out of there desert, both literally and metaphorically. and that is why she is the narrator and the catalyst and the hero of this story of a revolution that successfully destabilizes an oppressive paradigm in the eleventh hour, because she represents the power and importance of organized resistance when all hope is lost, of refusing to give into despair, of continuing to believe in love even in the bleakest, most desperate circumstances, and envisioning a brighter future even (especially) when no one else can.
I'm so in love with everything about your art!! I wanted to ask something about your MLP human designs in particular. all of them have really lovely and interesting face shapes/details. even though all the pony designs have the same head molds (save for eye shape), all the unique characteristics you gave them just... look RIGHT. is there a particular method or design principle you used? thanks for your time!! I can't wait to see more of your work!
It's all about shape language and how they inform a person's read on the character.
I talked about this before, but each of the Main 6 were paired together so I could design them in contrast with each other. For RD, I wanted her short hair to have a wind-swept look, as if she's constantly running. So bare forehead and hair spiking out at the bottom. She contains lots and lots of sharp lines and shapes to give her the look of a speeding arrow.
Felice, on the other hand, droops down a lot to reflect her solemn, shy disposition. I didn't want her hair to be perfectly straight though, as that'd suggest she spends a lot of time fretting over it and isn't outdoorsy, so I made it a bit of a tangled mess too.
In short, RD's features are sharp and point upwards, Felice's features are round and droop downwards. (Think Joshua tree vs. weeping willow.)
For these two, I specifically wanted to include non-Western facial features, as I found I haven't really included them in my character designs up until now.
Pinkie's bold and loud, so I gave her bold eyes, bold eyebrows, a bold nose, etc. I worked on Thea's nose for quite a bit and ended up abstracting the shape a bit to look more cartoony, borrowing from Pixar's Soul's character design notes. In cases like these, I recommend finding ways to simplify features and break them down into easily-recognizable shapes and forms (Cartoon Saloon are masters at this). The less visual noise, the easier their expressions are to read! And it's generally more fun to draw.
In short, diversify, exaggerate, and simplify. Figure out what works for you and get a little wacky with it. Character design is all about finding a balance between maintaining your voice and vision and creating something unique and lively.
And so ends our little October of the Little Flower... but St. Thérèse will return!
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
This cartoon is based, one more time, on a passage from "Story of a Soul", St. Thérèse's autobiography. In the book, Thérèse responds to her father by saying that, if he entered politics, he'd be made king, but be miserable, so she's glad he doesn't. In the cartoon, I've used those same lines but made it seem like she's debating with herself. Holding one opinion very strongly, then talking yourself into the opposite opinion, is larious of the absolute HIGHEST order. HIGH-larious.
I MADE A PATREON! I have a LOT of things in my files that I never show online, so even donating $1 a month will get you access to all my sketches. c: Also you'll see updates to my webcomics earlier than others, answer polls, get free art, and postcards sent to you! ^^ https://www.patreon.com/Blobri
The best part about “zombifying” people is how much fun they are to draw! I share a lot of faeries and flowers, but this creepy-cute style of doodling is totally my jam. I love adding anime-esque hairstyles, the button eyes, and goofy grins (save for when the grins are stitched shut, of course!) I draw a lot of these goobers off the top of my head, but sometimes I flip through magazines or pause a movie and draw a cartoony caricature or three.
Speaking of caricatures … I’ll be at The Pas’ (Manitoba) Street Festival next weekend with some pencils and a stack of 5x7 paper. If you’ve ever wanted to get your face stolen by an artist, stop by and get a mini-cartoon version of yourself, drawn by me!
