Sorry for the low quality. Wasn't sure how to draw the shadows to show that there was a body under the blanket XD

I personally headcanon dunes as having a very strong pack instinct. They enjoy sleeping next to one another for safety. When they are alone, they use a blanket not because they are cold, but because the heat reminds them of what it feels like to sleep with other dunes.

Hey guys, I'm open to art suggestions and requests if you want to ask for something. I remember being asked to draw Expie smelling a flower, but I don't remember by whom.

Sorry for the reupload. Problem on my end.

The blind cowboy was known to be rowdy when younger. Often partying until he blacked out, engaged in fights with company agents without informing anyone, and arrived drunk in the middle of battles. He joined the fight to save the Sawians, more so because he was an adrenaline junky with a thirst for battle rather than any noble cause.

But as time went on and he lost his vision, he seemed to mellow out. As he got older and physically weaker, his mind remained sharp, and his shooting skill got even better. He also started to care a lot more about Sawians, adopting some of them and treating them like his grandchildren.

To this day, he trains and takes care of many Sawians, enjoying swimming with them, teaching them cooking or playing airsoft.

I've heard conflicting information. Some say it's the same orange/yellow-ish color that their eyes are, but others have told me it's a more regular pink color.

Also, I know my paws are a little weird (once again, I used to draw only humans). As for the maw, I know it's not canon, but instead of just rat teeth, I wanted a sort of mix between rat and canine.

I GOT THE ANSWER, NO NEED TO TELL ME AGAIN. it's pink, I know that now.

Instead, tell me, which do you prefer?

Sorry for the quality. My screen recorder only goes up to 1080p despite my drawings being 4k, so it might look compressed or weird in some places.

So, the steps for glowing eyes are quite simple.

First, pick the color of the glow.

Second, make a new layer at the very top of your drawing.

Third, make that layer an "add" layer

Fourth, use any type of airbrush to add the glow. The more you brush, the more glow you get.

Additionally, I like to add a Gaussian blur effect, but this is completely optional. To add the Gaussian blur, you must duplicate your whole drawing and apply Gaussian blur to it, then reduce the opacity of your copy to adjust how much blur you want.

I'm still working on my expie ref sheets. I'm not looking for something perfect or even 100% lore-accurate (my expies are slightly taller than canon and have a few more canine features, like their teeth)

Just want to know if this overall looks right :)

Finally done. It's not perfect, but more than good for what I want to do. First time I've done a real ref sheet, too. I'll make a second part for the side profile and other details.

Now, in the meantime, I'm all ears for requests and art ideas. So, feel free to ask if you want to see me draw something with these cutie :]

I think I did pretty good for on this one. At least, good enough for my comic. This will greatly help me be more consistent, I feel like. I'm also preparing another sheet with side-facing and various faces and body details.

In any case, now that I have this, I'd be glad to try it out. If any of you want to suggest a drawing, feel free to, I'd be glad to see what I can do.

So, as my followers might know, I'm currently in the process of making reference sheets for the characters of my comic (if you wanna read, the chapter index is on my account). This includes cementing a design for expies.

Now, this is still very much imperfect, got some work with the hips and legs, I need shorter forearms, make the hands slightly smaller, and I need to fix the shoulders a bit.

In general, expie are complicated to draw with their wide hips and small torso. Especially the small torso, I've always been bad at making proper shoulders, and this isn’t helping.

Still, that's good progress

Honestly, I'm not mad. It's just very funny each time that happens. Out of my two years of work on my Tumblr, my most liked publication is still some fuckass meme made in less than 10min with 2 spellings mistake in just 5 sentances XD

Well, that's just how the internet is. I am grateful for all of you, those who liked my memes, those who liked my comics, you are all the reason why I keep on trying to get better at drawing and the arts, and I am just glad to have an audience :b

For the faction of resistance fighters in my comic, I'm trying to design the free expies. This is essentially a rejected design.

I would imagine that, once free, the expie would compensate for their complete lack of freedom and individuality by diving hard into arts and making themselves pretty, distinct, and flashy. I imagine them wearing intricate clothing of many colors, loose-fitting to not restrict their movement, full of colorful patterns, their body adorned with jewelry, body paint, and such.

Although this design has a few flaws. I enjoy the punk style, but this looks too old, the kind of thing you'd see on the albums our parents were forbidden to hear. Secondly, it's way too cluttered and noisy. A bit of a problem is that there aren't any good tutorials for character designs since what makes good character design is extremely subjective. It's not like learning anatomy and shading.

There are also things I failed, like, for their shirt, I was trying to go with one of these big colorful Slavic robes, but shortened. This didn't work out as planned.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy punk expie.

And here is part 3. That one took a while, too. Unfortunately, you might have to wait even longer to see what's next. I intend to take some time to create reference sheets, work out a few details of the story, etc... to try and bring you a higher-quality comic.

If you are new and want to see the rest, the chapter index is on my profile. Go check it out.

As always, comments, questions, suggestions, and encouragement are very welcome and appreciated. Love you all :]

Hey guys, so I'm still working on part 3 of chapter 2, but I feel like I'm constantly hitting a wall. I'm just not that good of an artist, and every time I need to draw something that isn't a character just standing up or any sort of complex pose, I end up creating things like this. I just hate how it looks, and I hate how inconsistent the character looks because of it. I tried every anatomy tutorial, sketching technique, and posing technique. It just doesn't help.

Whenever I try to draw even a mildly complex pose, my sense of proportion and anatomy just evaporates, and it's honestly very discouraging simply because I don't know if I'll be able to illustrate the story. I already had to compromise many times and give up on drawing some things, and I had to replace them with black screens or simpler versions. I'm just not sure if I'll be able to draw any of the fights I had imagined or any of the more complex scenes I had in mind.

I just feel stuck.
