may i hear abt ur (relatively) normal lc ocs Construct and Party, or like just any of ur ocs! even nonfandom ones blinks blinks
Tumblr media
OK SO. I have a bunch of non fandom and fandom ocs kinda!!
I have some for my personal story (which I may turn into a comic :D) called The End of Normalcy or TEON for short!!
Then I have my fandom ones like for lethal company and such!!!! Under here will be like a brief description for each oc / story so you can like.... ask further questions if you wanna (PLEASE DO BTW)
In TEON it's a more so sci-fi / fantasy world mixed with older tech being advanced and the "magic system" based around Undertale in a very loose sense. You have 2 main protagonists Wyette Elliott (Wren) and Fabian Ricci (Fallo) who are boyfriends and are exploring the world of Solatis- Which is a different reality casted in an almost eternal dark? It's got a very specific vibe but yk. There's also Wren's family (Blaine, Kagyin, and Finch) as well as Fallo's family (Ollie, Yoyo) who are important!! But there's a bunch more characters like from HLR (HELP LIVE REALITY / Haven's Late Revival) which is an SCP like organization and . the bad guys.
Tumblr media
MEANWHILE!
There is Party and Construct!
Party is a crewmember who is known to throw parties and make the job more "fun" while unintentionally destroying progress towards quota due to this. Party sees the cycle and sees no issue with it- in fact they think it can be somewhat fun!
Construct however is an actual inspector who has worked with the company for 25 or so years! Worked previously as a construction site inspector but yk. Mainly focuses on ship maintance and sees to everyone is not attempting to break anything within the ship. Which is HEAVILY focused on as... Construct doesn't want to think about their late partner being dead. Ermmm!
Tumblr media
AND THEN!!
I have also just ! Nonstory ocs for anything such as Erebus, Guest, and Dante!
Erebus is a satyr who can speak to gods based upon the tarot card deck AND anything else really- Was intended to have a story but not at this moment
Guest is my roblox oc! Based on the guests from pre deletion, Guest is an ai child thing (I don't know man) that is learning to become more alive and grow up!
Dante is my freakazoid flesh mimic demon thing that mimics based on the most potent memories and can just crawl out of corpses! It's a freak that is so unaware of the damage gutz does
Tumblr media
WHICH OK. THAT'S NOT EVERYONE BUT I DO HAVE A TOYHOUSE! It has most of everyone (except the newer people like Construct, Guest, etc) and needs updated a bit more BUT!! YEA!!!
It's here btw my toyhouse :]]]]]

HOW DID YOU FOUND YOUR ART STYLE I'M STRUGGLING HELP SENPAI
ah hm..okay it’s a recurrent question . i will tell u exactly how i did and from now, everytime i will get this question, i will give them this huge honest answer °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Tumblr media
i found it while assembling a lot of things i saw during my life.my art style is like a mr potato. waitin’ to see their holes filled out with new ideas.  
i think i can show you some of my researchs.my sketchbooks and even tell u how works mah mind .
 If u want to find an art style, please learn how to understand yourself  before. your art represents yourself. if you’re not clear in your mind. you won’t be clear on the paper.
(⌒▽⌒)☆ So let’s begin
…wait..
∠( ᐛ 」∠)_ 
It’s very a big  answer so be ready to click on “keep reading”: 
Tumblr media
( ´ ▽ ` )ノ when i’ve started to draw 4 or well almost 5 years ago. everything was confused in mah mind. The most difficult was to begin. so i started with drawing in a manga style…i drew a lot AND a lot.i was copying entire pages of Tales of symphonia. (my favorite manga and video game).that’s where the passion for fan art started. a good beginning full of passion!
Tumblr media
Since that i’ve been moar receptive to some kind of manga. chibi round style was my favorite. magical doremi took a big place in mah kokoro.
Tumblr media
The next drawing you’ll see was the beginning of my new art style. and i deeply knew it in mah bones. i was not expecting to draw this.i think it was only luck.
that was …a strange feel. like i was enjoyin’ it so much that i could draw it every.single.day. 
That was not exceptionnal. but i felt like nobody could draw like that. except me.(there is the over confidence part of a art newbie. follow this feel like it was your last chance.u need to not give up.u did the most difficult part so far! follow your intuition ! this little rainbow in your mind ! )
Tumblr media
i kept drawing. again. and again. for months and  freakin’ months. 
Tumblr media
i was certainly inspired of tim burton for the chibis and the headshots, if my memory doesn’t say shit,the artist is reapersun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was at a point i knew i had to take risks. It’s when, i accepted requests from ppl on deviantart . I couldn’t work alone. so i accepted everything. 
everything.
 Even miku hatsune dancing the gangnam style. 」( ̄▽ ̄」)
Tumblr media
i was also on a french forum, and ppl were giving meh a lot of reviews. that was helpful and that’s when i understood i needed a community for progressin’. compliments,opinions,reviews. YOU NEED THAT. accept them and shut your mouth. they’re right. put your pride somewhere else. and accept to see ppl better than you at something.〔´∇`〕
At some points, i was also giving reviews. that was huge. like 3 or 4 open office pages for a small drawing.it took me hours but it’s important to kno’ how to give a review to somewahn bc that makes u think about their art and yours as well. training ur eyes to spot the mistakes.
i was drawing a lot of fan arts of their characters. They were only potato/egg-characters. that helped me to find a digital color style when i bought my first tablet.
Tumblr media
btw,i waited 1 year and half before buying mah smol wacom. I prefered to keep practicing on paper. if you can’t draw properly on paper. digital won’t help u. it’s not a magic trick that makes ppl talented. ≡(*′▽`)っ
i have way moar respect for traditionnal artists. sooo much respect.u don’t even kno’.
(then…at this point, i was drawing for almost 2 years i thiiink.)
that’s when i started to extrapolate EVERYTHING. Colors, anatomy,expressions .( Everythin’ i ‘m drawing during this kind of practice period is wrong. extremely wrong and full of mistakes. But i have to do this bc i put so much energy into mah artworks that i can’t think properly until i’m mentally exhausted. (it’s completely personal,but i need to be broken af for understanding how pitiful i am and finaaally letting myself learning something new. ) )
so,when i’m completely exhausted(it’s a very heartful moment,like a huge art block),i leave my artworks in a corner,i don’t touch it for hours,days,weeks or sometimes months.nobody can touch it .except me and i analyze and re analyze them until i completely hate what i do bc i found all the mistakes. 
At this moment, i’m ready for experimenting again, learn from my mistakes and move on.
Sometimes we need to take risks and get out of our comfort zone !!! just.fuckin. DO IT. it’s toxic to stay in our comfort zone for too long . 8;A;8
An exemple of extrapolated drawing: Too much colors, too big arms / legs, too shiny,too weird and unlogical.We can’t understand. but whatever. it’s the beginning of something new! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
as smol addition to what i’ve said before, this is at this moment i can figure out my real problems .it’s only when i’m emotionallynot attached to mah art anymoar that i can finally produce something new .
However, i don’t personally give a fuck to tutorials,i’m too lazy for that. i have to discover everythin’ by mahself. (but this. it’s misplaced pride. so don’t do that .plz.learn from the others ,you won’t lose time like meh.)
Also.if u want to find ur art style , u need to not forget ur art references.  ໒( ͡ᵔ ▾ ͡ᵔ )७
 create your own influence map !
Tumblr media
i worship mainly  two gorgeous artists :
Ephyse and C2ndyAc1d:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NEVER FORGET WHERE U COME FROM. NEVER DENY IT .it’s your past. it’s as important as your future.it’s a part of your artistic identity. OAO
no joke, it’s absolutely essential. thanks them for their hard work. it’s thanks to them if you’ve discovered your own art as well.
O(≧∇≦)O and now ,if i show u mah art, can u spot the references? : 
anatomy ,candy’ :
Tumblr media
colors,ephyse  :
Tumblr media
After that. if u think you’re done…. u r eeextremely wrong. It’s where ppl usually stop.don’t do that. i kno’ so many artists who stopped right there. It’s bad bc they have SO MUCH potential.
“ What ppl see is not what i really do”.it’s a very personal phrase i keep in my heart. when i show somethin’ ‘’new’’ on internet or to my friends,in fact, it’s old for me. i’m already workin’ on something else in my corner. Bc do u remember waht i said before? that takes sometimes months to let ppl see my real art.
the practice NEVER ends. like neveh.  ヾ(´▽`;)ゝ
put your pride somewhere else,it’s time to get back on the practice train.
here is asumiko nakamiro,one of my favorite artists as well. i love the anatomy of her characters. such lovely art style.
Tumblr media
well, it’s awful,but it’s time to get inspired again.
//cries// Now u see how shitty u can be HmmMMm. a new challenge accepted.
Tumblr media
And i have A TON of sketchbooks full of awful sketches that i will never show to anyone.
__________
Not everythin’ is on my table,i have waaaay more sketchbooks and it’s only traditional but there is certainly 2 years of practice in front of you. Don’t need to tell u but everythin’ is full ofc .i also finished a new wahn this week. plz remind meh to buy another one.
Tumblr media
I also have THE HUGE CHANCE to have comic student artists as friends and they sometimes lend to me comic books(O3O ~LAST MAN. MAH LIL FAVORITE URG. ). I wish i had more place,but i read a lot of books ! i love goin’ to the library and read everythin’ i can ‘til my head hurts haha. (and LOOK ,”astemio”the book on the right ! i participated to this fanzine. oh boi.i’m so proud even if mah art in there is so shitty )
Tumblr media
In short.
i’m constantly drawing and experimenting. that’s how i found mah art style. (=´∇`=)
and actually, for ppl who still read. i’m about to take a break from tumblr and the youtube community bc i can’t experiment as i would like . i want to draw my ocs, create stuff and i’m stuck with youtubers fan art. i need a creative break.
If you need moar informations on mah art style or anythin’ else, feel free to ask meh. i tried mah best to explain even if it’s really personal.
Never give up,find ur own way of thinking and practicin’. goddamit plz, trust ur intuition.trust your art taste and don’t draw what ppl would like to see. 
If i was doing that, i would draw some semi realistic post apo’ stuff. And even if i rly appreciate that drawn by mah friends. it’s clearly not my thing. 
also.MY BIGGEST ADVICE FOR ALL OF YOU . LEARN THAT BEFORE CRYING :
( ̄▽ ̄)ノHAVING UR OWN ART STYLE  MEANS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT GENUINELY NOT LIKE IT. COMPLETELY HATE IT OR FALL IN LOVE WITH. IT S SO RANDOM AND YOU CAN T BLAME ANYONE FOR THAT.
Tumblr media
U CAN T SATISFY EVERYWAHN. PLZ. MAKE SURE TO KEEP THIS IN MIND.HANG UP. IT S NOT YOUR FAULT. WE ALL HAVE OUR PREFERENCES. (ノ*゜▽゜*)
That’s it.  hope that was helpful !cool cool ! g-good luck!
