So now that I'd had my new OC's designs I did some shoujo style studies for them so I was playing around with proportions and detail density but I could tell I wasnt very comfortable yet I didnt have a proper character sheet, some good stuff learnt though

This was at the time their final designs coming from the sets of explorations and iterations coming from beforehand. Foreshadowing on them getting an optimising redesign like 5 months after this again to their actual current designs after a lot of foundational practice.

These are the iterations I went with my OCs and i polled on insta to see what people found appealing, ultimately it didnt necessarily dictate my final choice but I really liked seeing what appeals to people. There's a mix of classics here and m,id iterations of them along the process that worked

Alongside my OC Lynn is also her "partner" Cyrus, a lot of his designs are definitely influenced by her pretty directly especially to go with the idea of contrast between them

Right up to my last set of morning figures I started redesigning Lynn and Cyrus my OCs around last September again following a momentum of artistic energy. I tried a few variants here in this exploration sketch page to see what vibes I might want and potentially different hairstyles for her #OC

Morning Figures day 21, 23, 25, 28. This was when I was starting to really experiment and try out stuff, slowly leading up to me doing a very very nearby redesign of my OCs during this period

Last year September I started figure drawing for 1hr+ every morning including studies to up my fundies. While I'm excited to get to what my work looks like now, but I'll be posting some notable ones from then to lead up to present work. These were days 14 and 15

Thank you so much, thats awesome to see the community really vibe with it. Im glad i nailed the vibes and inspirations the game was pulling from

thanks! yeah I felt like because of the sprite forms theres a lot of room for interpretation. That said i think the devs were intentionaly with Rybb being more rounded in shape language vs Decker's sharper angled shapes. So i tried to lean into that :D

im really happy i got the comission from you, i think it was great learning that her design translates really well and stylish into your style! I like the unbuttoned version you did too

Followup from before another still old but more refined sheet for both Lynn and Cyrus. Batch posting is bad but man I wanna post more recent work instead on this platform. Maybe that's the fuck it we ball direction instead of the slow old art build up to actual present work.

Not too long after my prev post, 2 years ago i did yet another redesign of my OCs Lynn and Cyrus, a hero and villain dating each other. This felt like there was some refinement in my drawings more, but clearly still lacking full solid foundations. (we'll get to that in the present)

Another old one but I thought I'd post this mock up comic cover based off my OCs Lynn and Cyrus. Gonna schedule a lot of art. I'm very apprehensive about using my work on LoL even if trying to start on a new platform the growth can feel a bit demotivating #lovebirds #ocart

I guess I should start posting the start of one of my first redesigns of some old OCs. This was their first redesign since 2021 Valor and Reave being the alter egos of the two characters in the second image, thing is they dont realise theyre dating each other #lovebirds #ocart
