No, but I love them anyway. They are my ugly little children.

>>6974116
can you OP?
or are you saying the generic coom shit in your post is "appealing"?

>>6974116
What do you consider appealing Anon?
Personally I'm not a fan of vertly sexual character, but I do end up drawing females more often than not. I value those kinds of characters being friendly and approachable more than being sexy.

>>6974177

>>6974116
How would you make her more appealing?

>>6974320
Generic goth. Add interesting things that aren’t solely sex appeal. What about her personality makes her distinct? Convey it through her design. Use shape language and a unique silhouette

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>6974320
I would take the dress off.

>>6974334

Anon you are one of the best artists on /ic/

>>6974329
You mean like giving her a theme and unusual characteristics then? Apart from giving her something that makes her shape stand out?
>>6974337
heh

Can I?

>>6974389
I have been blessed by the fabled anti-crab, you're too kind.

>>6974393
I want her shape to stand out from other shapely characters. Make her shapely, but give her hair, clothes, accessories, etc. in addition to her generic goth babe body.

>>6974453
*interesting/unique hair, clothes, accessories

Use shape language to your advantage

>>6974371

Ah! A fellow arcade jet fighter enjoyer!
Jokes aside, you definitely draw some cool subjects.

I tried making it using what you said, but I will probably need to understand more about shape language

>>6974511

Ohh I see, thanks for the resources and help anon. I'm glad that is working out!
>>6974524
Kind of did that already as I was redoing her, but Ill make them stand out as a crucial part of her.
>>6974593
Nice, I like the purple touches on her hair and the lights a lot. I will take this into consideration when finishing her design too.

>>6974511
Uh why is she still wearing clothes?

>>6974116

>>6974116

>>6974742
>added signature to this

it never gets old

>>6974742
Please learn figure drawing before putting out designs. Just start with Proko on YouTube or something. You seem to have good ideas, but lack the skills necessary to execute them. Keep it up, you’ll get there

>>6974320
>>6974511
These two iterations are very good in their own right, the newer one is an engaging goth chick aesthetic that can be pushed forward into a more powerful design. However, I believe it's the concept itsels is a little too basic, she is a goth chick and that's it, nothing else to tell here... So I propose you a different idea based on my impressions on the first iteration, an Occult (ish?) Goth Chick.

My advice when it comes to design is to go further the base tropes and check what else you can add to the storytelling element of them. Also another advice is to do your homework when it comes to inspirations, for this I half assed a goth/occult aesthetic because I know jack about either, but if I pushed it a little further, I'd research a little more on goth culture, aesthetics and as well occultism topics that could fit the character overall idea.

Also, about the basic design advices you already got, I agree to those except silhouettes and shape language, personally I think that you should only concern deeply about them once you have the design completely figured out, because making the most of silhouettes and shapes requires you to do changes to what's already established, so you'd better have a solid design before then just so you dont suffer having to do mayor changes.

Hope it helps, anon!

blog?

>>6974758
Thanks a lot anon, it did help.
I have to admit that at first I wanted to make a witch out of her too, so I'll check some witches as well for more references.
Also, I really like the occultist design you did there but Ill try with the witch since it was the original idea I had for her.

>>6974781
>I really like the occultist design you did there but Ill try with the witch since it was the original idea I had for her.
I mean, Witchcraft is a form of occultism, and the design I made can be very well used as such, so stills works if you want to go the witch route! Either way, Im looking forward to see what you come up with! Glad you liked it!

>also
>>6974116
>You can make an appealing character design, right anon?
Design is not really my forte as I barely ever do any proper designing, but I guess I can still come up with some appealing designs and re-designs whenever I make a non OC character.
I dont know, check my blondie, so you tell me...

>>6974744
i didn't care enough to obscure it since i'm not anywhere except here and discord anyways.

>>6974755
thanks for thinking i have good ideas. no offense to your suggestion but those kinds of vids are incredibly boring.

>>6974761
>>6974764
these are cute designs btw

>>6974762
Unironically, yes. They sound like interesting characters based on their minimal descriptions.

>>6974795
>those kinds of vids are incredibly boring

99% of all art content that’s necessary to improve is boring. You just have to get through it in service of being able to draw better.

>>6974794
If the life /old masters pill is too large for you to swallow, then don’t pursue drawing to any professional capacity

>>6974798
i don't plan to. it's just a hobby to me.

>>6974797
sounds like a chore and that's the last thing i want art to be. if the fun is sucked out of it, there's really no point. with that said, i have seen instructional sites that manage to make it fun. those videos are just not my thing.

>>6974793

>>6974116
I was told that a character design doesn't necessarily need to be "attractive", but they need to be "interesting and charismatic".

>>6974843
do you envision her to be a muscle girl?

>>6974793
At the end I mixed the witch thematic with the queen of snow white a bit,

i think avie is my best design, she's very easy to draw

>>6974843
You need to stop being terminally on /ic/.
You should make up a rule where you're only allowed to post that day if you have made drawn new picture of your character.

That way you might get somewhere.

>>6974877
I will. In fact, I was going by a similar rule of thumb, but felt that it was appropriate here because I was directly asked.

>>6974865
Why is she STILL wearing a dress

>>6974826
kek, you really do hate it that much. Good call, I shall stop using that word just so you still see it.
>>6974862
>I was told that a character design doesn't necessarily need to be "attractive", but they need to be "interesting and charismatic".
I mean, considering not every character is "attractive", in the sense of beauty, it makes sense. Hell, not even charismatic, but just interesting or engaging.
>>6974865
Neat! I like this, honestly. Also, is it me or you're making her tits bigger on every iteration? kek

>>6974826
You can only fight Sonic autists with more autism, you need to dive deep into the abyss and draw her as a trans black man or something.

He's just a simple design, and I've always thought simple designs work best.

You can always make him a cool fireboss guy with other concepts too anon! Trying to develop a base design into a new one is dope.

>>6980063

>>6980143
Yeah, that could work. Just make it stand out.

Was making fan art of a character i really like but then saw the artist that made her sperging on twitter, now i dont want to finish it anymore :(

This is a character I've been working for a while now and I think is mostly done. But checking for any extra advice here doesn't hurt.

>>6981583

>>6981372
sorry if I sounded like an asshole, it's because I really am, liking it more now, though what I meant by the scales was something more like, not drawing every single scale
also it could be interesting to give each of the dinosaurs different patterns, the more agressive one has sharper triangular scales, another has them rounder, and so on
You can also play with how they're inclined, instead of making all of their designs have scales pointing up, some could have them pointing down, or in the middle

>>6974862

>>6981784
I wanted to make an attempt but honestly I don't want to turn it into another oc draw thread. It ended up making it into something else. Might flash it out later.

>>6976293
You know why. You know exactly why.

I exclusively draw characters where the design is "girls who make my dick hard". If that counts as "appealing"

>>6981869
>measures height in Rococos

>>6981910
well, because the scale of every other characters I design is measured relative to her.

>>6974528
Their redesign is *overall* better, even if there are some aspects of the original design that I like. I like the simplicity of the re-design, it looks less cluttered and sticks to the theme more consistently. It also conveys more character.
Sure, I'm not the biggest fan of the face, particularly the nose ridges, but whatever.

>>6983702
yeah people say that, but a lot of others say they like it a lot. Since its my most popular character I have been thinking that the strategy maybe should be to try and make characters that people love/hate. Instead of making characters that are just mid to everyone.
