Silhouette work and a bit of redesign


keep changing designs of the flailbunner, i think the surcoat + fur one goes better, also silhouette


(the image of the bottom shows the first design of the bud itself, the antlers/horns is absent cause i didnt think much of the first design, and mainly focused to be a bit more accurate to the ref image).


Thoughts n feedback?

I could draw just about anything you can imagine. From furries to monsters, and humans to background work. I like to make stuff for people and myself for the fun of it.


Most recent piece is for a friend of mine and the second image is a monthly poll illustration from my Patreon.


I can send more pieces here if y'all are interested!

1st: Pick a color that fits the theme of the drawing make spiky shapes around the character (+ style if the shape in question outside the character is dripping)


2nd: despite i dont do much of these but i some times utilize the clean version of the sketch as a BG thing

okay, thats smart. sometimes i just wing it and hope for the best. if the characters are grounded then i just add a simple shadow and do some random background pattern.

Teheh, i got the 2nd one from a guy i know, he do like alot of sci-fi mech stuff and is a avid fan of guilty gear (im no huge fighting game fan and i dont really play em that much, but the guilty gear pseudo 2d style is admiring).


He is a busy man, i dont really talk to him much, and not really active around social media except discord, but hes a pretty chill dude.

I usually tend to wing it. For me it can be hard to come up a proper background as I don't really plan things out very well.


Outside of throwing a color as the background I have few 'real' backgrounds in some pieces:


I planned to leave the background a solid pink color, but added some shapes which, to me, helped fill it out more.


This was for the secret santa and I usually like to keep things thematic; so christmas/winter was on the brain


I am unaware of how a nightclub functions let alone a cyberpunk themed one.

Wow, you are fucking talented. My backgrounds are based on dreamcore, scene kid backgrounds and rave posters from the 90s-2000s.

Just kinda thinking out loud, but maybe we don't need to think too too hard for backgrounds because the main focus (atleast from what we've shown) is just characters/character design. Minimalist backgrounds can work just as well and be better than over-designing a background to the point where it overshadows the character.


If we need a detailed background for like a book/comic cover, I think what helps illustrating the setting is that there's already a narrative. If I was making a superhero cover what's the feel? If its heroic the city should be safe or they're saving a civilian, something uplifting. If the situation is dire than maybe there's debris and destruction behind them. I guess think of the backstory of the character you're working on and how you're trying to depict them in this moment, then help it along by making the setting match the mood. If we're just showcasing a character it may not matter as much.


I could also be wrong, but what y'all think?
