after weeks of pretending to work on it i've finally finished my Lamb voice headcanon video (remember when this was like. The Thing everyone was doing. im not late to the party i swear)
OC DNA for Monster Researcher Eclair!
Her original characterization was a lot more subdued and demure. Nagato Yuki-esque. Eventually she sort of ended up being much more proactive and earnest.
Anyway you can find the original template here!
Many people noticed that Giulia has similar clothes to Tombo from Kiki's Delivery Service
But Luca and Alberto also have outfits, strikingly similar to those of Conan from old Ghibli cartoon Future Boy Conan!
In most concept art, Luca is wearing white shirt, more closely resembling the one that Conan wore for some time
But in the movie, it has blue stripes, more similar to the one that on Fio
It was confirmed that towns name Portorosso - is a reference to Porco Rosso (It was also a second name of Luca in early concepts)
Could Luca's shirt be another Porco Rosso reference?
In my opinion, Future Boy Conan must've had a huge inspiration on Alberto character, not only his design, but also behavior, lifestyle and houses very similar!
Finally got around to illustrating some of my book characters!!
This is (most of) the family of my main protagonist Fio, a Red Clover Dragon! We've got Fio's parents: His Dad Garth and his mother Fauna, who is the leader of the family clan.
Freya and Fallon do not have their feathers yet in the first two novels, but this will be their "adult" plumage in the third novel, which I'm currently working on.
One day I want to make full-body reference sheets too, but those will take a while to get done 🤔 Especially since I'm still missing Fio's aunt Agave, two of his distant cousins along with their mother and Garth's best friend Bakula. AND Asha. Goddamn. So many pink dragons to design...
OH here's an example of a fullbody Red Clover dragon for those who haven't seen them before!
