Obsessed with how loved Earendil is. Splendor of the Children of Earth, a light in dark places when all other lights go out, our most beloved star. In the books, people call out to him the same way they call out to Varda. He's spoken of with such reverence. The longed for that cometh beyond hope.
I am obsessed with watching the traffic cam footage. There are 5 guys working on repairing the drain cover and the rest of them and huddled in a circle panicking
any advice for drawing iterators? I’m trying to get a good design but it’s fighting me I know what I’m going for but…
Oh fuck yeah, something I can RAMBLE about.
TLDR: Figure out your character’s identity, build around it, i use simple shapes, robotify
NOW FOR THE LONGER VERSION
Generally when I start designing an iterator I already have a basic idea in mind. Their personality and environment plays a huge role in that. Drawing iterators in particular all depends on what you’re going for. Some people draw iterators exactly like the official art, while others do their own thing and get real creative with what an Iterator Puppet really means
When I draw an iterator, this is the general kind of structure I go for.
I don’t always use it though. SOLA has specific design choices I draw only for them, and that goes for most of my characters.
Antennae really help with iconic iterator silhouettes. It can even help explain their personality. When I was designing SOLA, their antennae were the first things I nailed down: I drew antennae on blank circles. It really helped with silhouette planning and character design. Try different shapes, lines, curves, anything you think that will stand out. I try to make sure every antennae design I make is fresh and different
Another thing you could think about when designing an iterator is thinking how THEIR architect would design them. This makes for cool storytelling opportunities. Maybe how their architects designed them is exactly the opposite of their personality, or maybe it creates some narrative foils as their arcs progress.
The way I draw iterators is fairly simple compared to some. I stick to big shapes, simple patterns, and select colors that are easy for me to remember and replicate. I don’t get rid of my anatomy guidelines and instead use them to give a general illusion that they’re made of different parts. Part of this is because im lazy, but it’s also because I like seeing that kind of definition. The idea of metal, in a way. Lots of patterns are just too tedious for me to draw and redraw constantly, so I also usually keep them to a minimum
But you can definitely get more detailed with everything! Look up pictures of real animatronics, or look at animated ones, or other games. There’s a whole bunch of references to choose from. And when in doubt, draw a shape and play with it. You might get something that works out of it
This went all over the place but I hope that answered your question :]
