ITT: simple rules. I know you’ve got OCs out there, and here’s where you share them. Tell me all about them, or just post a picture. Ask for design advice or general critique. Think of this as a character design thread

I havent gotten to fixing the fighting pose
Now for my attempt at a discription.
This is evolyn
The retared cat girl who wears her heart on her cheek.
An adept fighter to a degree but her incredibly long rug she call hair often weighs her down but she still refuses to cut it do to supposed sentimental value.
Her main hobbies are drawing which she proudly shows off with the temporary tats on her legs playing with the dragons that have practiacally made her into family, and creating potions to mixed results due to her inability to remember directions and stubborness to check if she got it right.
I will can post better art of her later if you wish.
sorry its alittle long ive never gotten the chance to spout about my characters.

ive taken to painting a mildly brown cyberpunk waifu, a model, the template for fem droids, lover to some vagabond samurai, the girls that are made from her all eventually lose a limb, like some kind of curse. its fun because i can literally draw slightly off model versions of her every time because i can play it off as just being another android. i dont have an overall arc, but the character allows for alot of plot - especially seeing as my art mostly takes the form of movie screenshots

This is definitely the worst idea asking for this here but I'm going to do it anyways. Maybe there will be someone who can help. I'm trying to make this hairstyle more... Cohesive. It doesn't really work well in 3D perspective or I have to draw the bang on the right side as if it's hair sticking up. Any ideas on improving this hairstyle? (Also her hair is in a bun)

not him, but

it's inconsistent whether the bun is up or down. if up, it shouldn't be visible from a front view. try to draw the rough shapes of the hair first, like the 'leaf' shape of the fringe, then break into it on your second pass(try dimming opacity of sketch layer, then locking it and drawing over it in another layer).

I'm trying to nail down the art style and character looks for a sci-fi thing. The goal is big bright palette with a lot of color and design choices reflecting 1980s cartoons. To that end I am choosing to use one line thickness with no fancy flourishing, and all of the colors will be shaded with hard parts save for sky backgrounds which can be blended. Kind of looking to emulate the drawn for TV practical sensibilities when it comes to shading.

The characters themselves pull with costume flourishes more recognizably from the 70s (bellbottoms, a lot of the hair style choices, a lot of the female footwear choices, etc).

I want to do all of this while being referential without it being a complete 4th wall breaking farce.
