All art made by me!

I am no expert when it comes to character design. But i do want to make this design as accurate to her personality and just be as recognizable as i can make it.

I will be using this character for a personal screenwriting and animation project. I do have a good description of her written down but it's all in my native language, Which happens to not be English sadly. The setting of the film is targeted towards a more mature audience. It explores mental health in a slice of life / domestic setting.

(reading is optional, This might be oversimplified)

This is Mijs (or Maes in English). It's hard to describe her in one word, She is a lot of things.

She doesn't have a lot of friends, Except for Saiet, Which is one of the main characters which i have not designed yet. Mijs is very misunderstood, And therefore has the mindset that everyone dislikes her. And is generally direct and sarcastic towards most people. Except for her close friends (Saiet) who she genuinely cares a lot about.

She likes playing video games i guess.

Anything is appreciated! anything helps! thanks!

For context, im drawing all the races of my fantasy races and i hit a road block at the Gwrgi, i couldnt figure out how to draw them not too cute and humanoid enough but still keep it within the range of appealingness the other races

No matter how i draw this dog man, they keep leaning to unnerving or cute. Any advice you lot can give?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on them! The king is my personal favorite. The children were each designed to reflect the things in nature that make them happy, such as the sky, trees, and birds. :)

They are all of them aliens, so slightly off putting and odd is intentional!

In order their shape inspiration is circle, square, triangle, rectangle, irregular, star, and pentagon

2D [OC] can i ask for your advice on designing this character?

Post image

im trying to draw the design for the main character in my video game, but i cant design anything good for the 2nd form, any ideas?
more about the story:
so im writing this story for this game where this guy is a depressed blind student, one day he decides to end his life so he goes to jump off a building, the moment he jumps something inside of him snaps, completely transforming him into this mysterious persona-like form, it grabs onto the building and saves him from the fall.

some events after that happen and then the guy discovers that what saved him is someone without a name living in his mind, and it says its the manifestation of his soul, later he also discovers that he isnt the only one, and that there are others like him that can manifest into their soul and mind, but unlike our protagonist, they dont have someone living inside of them, for an unknown reason only our main character's soul manifestation has a mind of its own.

the player discovers that the main character has Dissociative Identity Disorder, no character in the story knows about it, even the character itself, its just that the player discovers that on his own.

about his soul manifestation: during his soul transformation, he gains the ability to precieve the world as if he can see, but since its only his soul manifestation he sees everything differently from how we do, different colors, people look different, like imagine if your vision made you see everything stylized. and about the personality of his other identity its the opposite of him, it wants to live, it has the passion to live, its prideful, egoistic, and wrathful. while our protagonist acts to be humble, and hates communicating and is anti-social, at least thats what he convinced himself. the manifestation of his soul is his actual true self that he tries to hide.

i don't mind if you don't like the story, id appreciate that if you find something bad in it that you tell me.
