Continuing my trend of sharing character redesign concept stuff

I really started fixating on Noctua again, so here are some recent attempts at trying to redesign him + some brainworm doots!

Previous Noctua Post: https://gamejolt.com/p/postin-some-old-doodles-for-viewing-it-s-better-than-lettin-em-r-ssehcbvj

(Kirby OC,, 🥺)


Just for my personal note in the future, but feel free to read too:

  • Second image is the latest attempt, taking inspiration mainly from Morpho Knight's mask style + Ares' helmet, with those spiky protrusions being the "ears" of a Great Horned Owl. The weapon remains undesigned :(

  • Third Image is mainly focusing on the wing shape, but also features a mask design that is close to what I want. Vaguely owl themed, but the spike on the mask doesn't showcase it strong enough methinks? "Ears" are ok tho.

  • Concept of if the top half could pull down like a knight's helmet. Cool but also weird??? Probably not going to use that idea.

  • Initial Redesign from the batch, I like the cute simplified wing shape and owl theming, but that's about it. Doesn't showcase other themes related to his character because it doesn't feel "warlike" or ornate enough to look like a mythological being.

  • Last two images are just a what if scenario featuring two other characters that I have yet to redesign. Their relation to Noctua initially was familial (?), but that no longer fits his concept so they are now more like his gateway to mortal experiences, and a way for the viewer to see Noctua from different perspectives too. Oh and they died.

And a Compilation of some of the previous times I've drawn these characters:

Doodle Responses Part 2!

Thanks again for more of your lovely submissions!

Drawing while interacting with everyone is a lot more fun than I thought. I'll probably do something like this again in the future, but for now, submissions are officially closed!

Thank you for all the wonderful doodle submissions! It was a blast responding to them all!

Heck, I got more than I expected, so I've split the post into parts! Part 2 is coming soon

Can you feel pride and shame at the same time?

Yes. The answer is yes and I'm a living example of this

There's a whole backstory for this pic but it's funnier if I don't say it.

This Innocent Zero and Wahlberg crackpost was drawn over the 3rd pic

Carpaccio Luo-Yang of Orca - Mashle Fanart

Proud to say that this is my first finished rendered artwork! I have so much respect for people who render regularly. I could never 💀

The speedpaint should be coming soon. Please look forward to it!

(Happy Halloween!)

Happy Birthday, Rayne Ames!

Out of all the Divine Visionaries, I naturally gravitated towards Rayne first. Seeing as it was his bday, why not celebrate it?? I don't normally do this sort of thing but I wanted to try.

Mashle really do be inspiring me

Posting this here just in case I never get around to finishing it as another personal progress update!

Compare this to the 3rd picture, my previous attempt at rendering from December (3 months ago)

Mash Burnedead Fanart

Mashle is such a fun anime that I've rewatched it more than 5 times at this point while I wait for new episodes. The colorful cast is all funny in their own way, but the star is Mash himself. How can you not love this naive meathead?
