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:

Oldest Pic of Noctua I could find

Chibi Prize for @RedKatze ! (OC: Nathaniel)

(Prize #1 from the Art Raffle I hosted months ago)

Only one more to finish, I know for sure next time I host one of these to clear my schedule and mentally prepare so the delays don't happen again

Playing around with ideas... - Unitas (OC)

The font used for the character blurbs was created entirely by me ^^ Fully readable if you understand his homeworld's writing.

"On the day you revealed the wonders of your mind, I was pulled into your orbit."

This week's #FanArtFriday celebrates Kirby!

Complete the quest and you'll get Coins!

While Unitas is all frowns and serious business, Aeterna is...whimsical. Silly, even. Don't let that fool you.

(Life update: I've taken to reading books again, and I'm trying to exercise more frequently. Life is starting to feel more balanced again.)

Who's excited for the new Kirby Air Riders?

Silent Glow - Unitas (OC)

Drawn on Krita, streamed the process on Discord for all 2 of my closest friends (but only one came)

Consider this the rare art drop of the month and my attempt at redemption after I drew this one: https://gamejolt.com/p/silent-contemplation-subject-unitas-oc-kr…

I Put The Packet On The Glass - Animation Meme

Animatic?? BUT THIS TIME I USED KRITA. It's so much easier, I'm never going back to Clipchamp and a thousand Medibang screenshots ever again

These are me and my friends btw (Hey, @ShinyJevex )

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Kirby! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

"Our everything is yours to protect."

So long as he lives, the hopes and dreams of his world will never die.
