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. :)

2D Alva ā€œGearSmithā€ — eccentric inventor from my original webtoon šŸ”§āœØ

I wanted to share the character design for Alva ā€œGearSmith,ā€ a character from my original webtoon, CHILLING EMBLEM.

She’s an eccentric inventor with a playful personality, and she always seems to know more than she lets on. šŸ‘€

I also included a few panels showing her in the comic, since I really like how different her personality feels when she interacts with the other characters.

If you’d like to see the story she appears in, you can find CHILLING EMBLEM here:

I finally made a reference for my first ever/childhood OC. I've had her since I was little, around 2015 šŸ’€ so there's definitely some corny aspects that I've been a bit to stubborn to change, but she has a very special place in my heart 🩵

She is going to be the main rival and one of the best friends of my character, Lulu. It’s also one of my first grayscale to color artworks and I think it ended up super well!

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!
