r/characterdesign

Secondary character for my animated series

For context the "goal" of this character design is like. An idealized attractive romance love interest but something's actually subtly off with him [ like, in an eldritch/supernatural way ] but I'm not sure if I pulled that off properly.

There's also supposed to be some minor symbolism in his design, mainly the focus on his mouth because in the story there's a lot of metaphors involving eating and food and being eaten and stuff, but I kinda decided that after I was a bit ways done with his design so I probably didn't pull it off as well as I could've.

There's additionally some background information about him that's important but slightly less so than the main themes/goal [ mainly him being a homeless trans guy , which influences his design by him Visibly Not Passing and only one outfit and stuff like that ] and some stuff that's not as important [ mainly him being a sex worker/somebody who jumps around relationships a ton which is partially why he presents more "feminine", he's doing it to appeal to people because from his perspective, a cis woman is a more appealing partner than a trans man ]

Setting is 2002 Maine, genre is cosmic horror/romance , medium is a visual novel

More detailed explanation: We are building a Lovecraftian roguelike deckbuilder where you face off against various Eldritch style creatures. Each creature was once a normal animal that has been contaminated by a Lovecraftian disease.

With that information which is your favorite?

Messing around with a concept for a mascot platformer, trying to capture that original PS1 Crash Bandicoot vibe, starting with one of its baddies. Amok is a crocodile/rabbit hybridization experiment gone sour, and self-proclaimed arch rival to Ponk & Tsi (for no discernable reason)

(some more characters from my universe!)

I want to make sure my characters don’t look like the same person if they were to get a tan/different hairstyle, like do they look like entirely different people who aren’t related?

Hey everyone! I recently drew this character design for a personal project and would love to hear what DnD class you think she would be ?

Personally, I was leaning towards a Druid or a Warlock. She mainly uses nature magic, and she holds an evil spirit hostage inside her staff, which she can release at any moment to gain its power, at the cost of losing control over it.

I'm really curious to read your ideas! I'm pretty new to DnD and I've been recently doing commissions for players so I'd like to be more educated about the universe.

My DMs are always open if anyone is interested in a commission for their character ! :)

Vinland Saga is such a huge inspiration for my art/comic. I always find myself going back and meticulously sift through the manga to find new techniques or ways to draw weapons and attire.

Hello! I posted in this subreddit early yesterday asking if I had same face syndrome! The consensus was that I did indeed have it! I was playing around with the features of the characters and was wondering if the newer one was leaning in the right direction? I know I won’t improve in the blink of an eye and that I also need to do more exercises to really have the characters look distinct. However, I’d just like to know if this is an improvement, even if just a small one!

The first two pictures are the headshots I did a few days ago and the last two are the ones I did today. Also! Amber, Eirisse, and Caelan are related if that helps any. (Amber is the child of them, they’re vampires, so the aging is a lil weird) Feel free to critique or ask clarifying questions! Thank you!

Also sorry they look so weird in the bald drawings, I had a hard time finding their head placement, another thing to work on lol.
