Really Trying To Force Myself To Make Human(ish) Oc Design, But Like... I Can't. Like I'll Draw A Human

(I see you in every reflection my dear) Forget-Me-Not

Burning Heart

Terrible tunes echo endlessly across a soundless sky,

where wandering birds bellow songs searching for forever.

I inquire to the sorrowful songbird

'where oh where do I go? to find the snow to cool my racing heart?'

The terrible song bird sighs

'You won't find the snow here young one, it is only for thouse who's minds have grown and feelings sown, right at the surface of their heart'

'Whatever does that mean oh tired songbird?'

Answers abandoned my frozen fear

buried deep down

in the snow.

Prompts: Favourite oc(s), opposite colors and (almost)100% saturation

Tw: Bright Colors below!

My girls! All time favourite ocs for years now, cant wait to enviably put them through every kind of pain and misery that I can think of and more :)

(Please ignore spelling mistakes, im not going to fix them)

ALSO EDIT: I won't be showing this process for each design (it takes to much time) but just know this is what my goes on in my brain for every design I plan to make

Idea corner: Grian... So far Grian is the only perspective I have seen for each session and even then I don't have the best memory of what happened. As for the design there isnt much to go from... at least if you are ignoring fan lore and ideas, the skin itself is simple. So this is more me testing this idea rather then trying to make anything unique or interesting.

Common traits: (because I don't like drawing humans sorry)

Birds: Whether is just a pair of wings, more bird then human, or even a touch eldritch with the watcher lore.

Fish: due to his skin looking like a cod (and hermitcraft 10)

Sun imagery: Grian means sun. This often is combined with winner celestetel themes (honestly I feel this combined with the bird like designs could make for some cool phoenix designs)

... as for any changes in design between session I'll only be drawing 3rd and limited as separate designs (as well as a 'default' design for the rest)

Final Draft of my 3rd lift Grian design, its not too different but I'm happier with it (I will also redo limited life G but I likey won't redo other designs and instead take more time before post (I might also swich to traditional art unless I've a reason to do color)) and yep that's it bye.

Then again I thought 'cringe' meant "look at these cool artists" because the first few times I saw the word it was In "cringe comp" and I just thought 'wow pretty colors very cool'

I wasnt very smart. Im still not I just learned how to hide it with to many words. Anyway people should show their old art off more, like a proud parent for their childhood self.

Ive gotten compliment on my 'art style'. I honestly don't even know what my style is anymore. I draw what's easiest for me not what I would like it to look like but eh. Now the art I made in ~2012 however, that was the peak of my art. Oh how I long for those days. Just me and my lack of knowledge about anything ever

Anatomy? Cohesive design? Color theory?? BOO Boring! I want to go back and unlearn that stuff, I need to pack details! I need rule of cool I need to exist on the floor and draw and forget everything, USE THOSE BRIGHT CRAYONS! GIVE THEM 4 WINGS!! AND A TAIL MADE OF PLANTS WITH MAGIC FIRE ON THE END!!! BRING ME BACK TO THE OLD AND CRINGE

Unfortunately unlearning is very difficult so I'm stuck with thinking about things work >:(

(I say this like a joke but genuinely I do wish I never tried to improve and learn, because sure my art 'looks better' but it's less fun now I have to think about what I'm making. I wish I had spent a little longer just making things with no reason or purpose)

Did a silly doodle to forget how social I have to be tomorrow.

Happy spooky season!

A quick drawing/redesign of one of my oldest ocs (~10 years old) for my own oc-tober list (I won't do a drawing for everyday or use a pre-existing list (I made my own) but I felt like trying it out just a bit) :)

Here's my first draft (maybe last I tend to just stick to first ideas) for 3rd life Grian!

Fairly standard design, I didnt feel that the design needed to many details.

Only notable features are the feathers on his face and the hair thing (I think they are called cow lick or something) are meant to look like 3 hearts... the patches are Pizza, the Sun, And a poppy (weather this is for scars "can we still be friends?" Or for the alliance with Jimmy and Scott is up to interpretation)

Certain hyperfixation hit me like a ice-cream truck, I'm supposed to be doing other stuff but all my brain can think of is plans for a dumb comic and backstorys, artwork, lore, character interactions and its driving me crazy.

I need to shake it by the shoulders until its to blurry to see, I need to bite and tear it apart so I can see the foundation of what makes it so interesting, I need to study it understand how it works every small part, I need to hug it, to give it a blanket and hot chocolate, I want to see it at its best and at its worst. I NEED TO CREATE IT.

This silly little thing has been sitting in my brain for a long while, normally quiet due to my dumb fear of laptops preventing me from even interacting with it but ooooohhh it suddenly doesn't care about that now. Now when I have other things I'm meant to be doing.
