Hi I just want to start of by saying I LOVE YOUR ART, especially your wof ones (I love your pjsk au too haha), I've always had an obsession with dragons and stuff and your artstyle is the best I've ever seen in that department—because it's so dynamic and shows so much emotion in the characters
I was hoping to ask, is it alright for people to kind of study and reference your artwork to learn for it? I wouldn't say I'm great at drawing but I've been looking for stuff, close to what you do, to learn from! I was hoping to ask for permission before doing so, I hope you have an awesome day <3
Oh I absolutely have no problem with my work being used for reference, heck I'm more than honored :3
Glaspalast
wait can you tell me about your au and tenma oasis xxxx
Well the prsk wof au is to be brief a au where I put project sekai characters in the wof setting. I try to make some stories with it, but it's primarily a artthingy (I have made some more detailed infodumps here and here )
The Tenmas in the game are two siblings I often put in noble/royal families in my aus. In this one they're in control of a oasis close to the Icekingdom. The landscape in there is a mix of sanddunes and rocky hills, and the oasis is placed deep in a canyon. Someone mentioned how it reminds them of canyon city and yeah pfff
culturally there are some tidbits. Only few dragons actually life in the canyon, since most are nomads dropping by for some water and goods. The population was a bit mixed before the war. There was a small Skywing minority who influenced the region to have a mix of snake and horse imagery (the tribes each have their own myths, mostly because I yearn for animal imagry in my ornaments. Sandwings have the horned snake, Skywings the winged horse etc etc. The Tenmas in prsk have a pegasus (it's an alicorn but whatever) image Tsukasa always mentions (He's such a dork btw)) but they all left during that period of uncertainty which queen the Tenmas would see as their own.
I did draw the oasis sometimes, but proper concept art (with which I'm satisfied with) hasn't yet been made. Still I hope the few things I currently have are interesting enough
How do you go about character design? You seem really good at it so I thought asking you would be a good idea
Oh that's really nice of you :3
Altho I usually don't think much during my design process. I just spit out a good enough first design with base ideas like "this is a optimistic bat with a star motive" and then draw that thing over and over again until I figure out which elements work and which need to be adjusted. I am loosely aware of basic principles, like shape language and negative space, and I do have some experience from drawing various critters my entire life, but I mostly work on instinct
Never forget peak
