Not Taking Anymore Asks For Donations

my OCs i made when I was 10 (the mermaid with black hair and girl in white dress are OCs from when I was 9 lol you can tell cuz there's not an insane amount of patterns)

again these are the simplified versions... i used to draw WAY too much detail

i... idk whats up with the purple guy that's unironically how he looks he's like the only super buff character I have cuz I couldn't draw muscles and the original drawing of him just looks weirdly lumpy lmaoo

i'm not even that obsessed with mermaids I have no clue why I have so many mermaid characters this isn't the end of them either I have at least two more mermaid OCs to my knowledge

can... can you tell that some of these designs were created when I started feeling attraction for the first time

unironically why most of my OCs are girls I just really like girls (and men too but idk I may have a preference or smth)

LAST ART TRADE DONE LETS GOOOOOO 8 drawings in 4 days, im SO glad, im up to my artfight numbers (attack me in july btw i BEG i always revenge and and my username is LionRevolutionary)

ngl idk how im able to pump out good pieces consistently (although i did procrastinate on this one a bit but it wasnt completely my fault)

like my art is BETTER and more detailed than before yet it takes me quicker to do? blend brush feels like cheating tbh i render SO FAST with it

dont smoke guys

this drawing is lowkey giving that one pic of the caterpillar with the cigarette

this type of contrast is smth i dont usually do, but i was kinda forced to since the character is literally completely dark

im getting back into my habit of adding rimlight to every drawing someone stop me omg

lowkey coming back to my old rendering style with sketchy lines and rough shading i shouldnt have abandoned it

Comic blurb pls I wanna promote it

brooo it's literally like infinitely long man but ig i can tell you a little bit about it?

so there's this silly guy named JAYDEN who's trying to overthrow the kingdom without being found out (and he discovers many disturbing secrets while doing so) with the help of the literal Prince of said kingdom. magical hijinks, spirits, demons, and even space arcs (aliens?!) to follow. also LOTS of lgbtq+ stuff lol. forgot to mention, GENERATIONAL TRAUMA

I... i dont have a title yet bro I need one STAT 😭 I've literally technically been developing parts of this story for SIX YEARS, but I still don't have a freaking title and I haven't even come up with names for half of my group of main characters. idk man drawing and making character designs is EASY, but names???

everytime i write about my comic it sounds dumb af, but this is why I chose a COMIC which expresses stuff more through visuals than writing lol

coloursssss

more simple but i love colours

can you tell that i hate drawing backgrounds yet

blend brush is MAKING ME GO CRAZY

what do you mean rendering is ten times easier and I can finally render without it looking weirdly smooth and untextured??

Hi hi um you helped me with one of my drawings on the criticism club, tysmmmmmm for that, I've fixed it a lot but I'm not done colouring so I won't be posting it yet :) your advice was insanely helpful, because I realised the arm wouldn't be there,and a BUNCH of other things

I was just exploring your posts and OMG HOW YOU RENDER SKIN AND HAIR IS SOO PRETTY AND GORGEOUS OMG!!! AND I LOVE THAT ONE DRAWING OF AN EYE U MADE AHH!

Sooo while i was looking at my fav post of yours, I was reading the description and you were talking about the new blend brush in magma! So, I'm assuming you use magma? I've been using it for like, half a year, but im not a pro at digital art so I don't really know what all the layer settings and whatever are. I did watch a video but it was a bit confusing. I know about like opacity and whatnot but I'm still a bit confused on mainly the layer settings. Also, I can't find any tutorials on magma apart from blending :(

I was wondering if U could maybe explain a bit, just the basics like multiply and add and most of the layer settings a begginer would use :) I'm sort of stepping out of my comfort zone because I don't usually bother with colouring and stuff. Any tips U recommend for magma would also help tons! Omg I just realised that this is kind of a stupid request because you probably have to explain a lot... Sorry!

idk how to end this ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

ok ok this will be a long post!!

i made this graphic a long time ago for my friend @mythology-lover, this is using all layer blend modes with the colour bright orange, so you can see what each one does. most of them are self explanatory, I hope. there is no "add" in magma, but colour dodge is similar. I'll go over how to use the blend modes below!

not sure if you want to know how to use the blend modes to render stuff but i'll show you anyway lol

this was a drawing i posted, and i actually detailed my step by step process for my friend again, but I use multiply or darken for shading, its the best way to shade and personally I use dark red for shading but this can change based on lighting. obv I also lower the opacity cuz I don't want bright red. my tip for using multiply is to use a colour more saturated/brighter than you think you would use, cuz multiply ends up darkening the colour anyway.

i recommend using blend modes for shading because they have some "transparency" to them, if you put on shading in a block colour with no blend mode it'll just cover up things you already drew like blush or makeup. i also just create more multiply layers to build up darker and darker shadows.

also, when it comes to more dramatic lighting, ill just put a multiply layer over the WHOLE drawing since in real life in a dark scene there will be a shadow over everything including darker shadows for the actual details. after I add the multiply layer (this one is blue because its supposed to be a nighttime scene and the sky is dark blue) I just erase parts where light is hitting the object

(this isnt well done because im making this quickly)

and when it comes to lighting i like to use overlay, it creates this really nice saturated glowy effect. you can use colour dodge too but it creates these weird artifacts of pixels that are a completely different colour, at least for me

with overlay

also maybe you already know this, but the little square icon next to the opacity bar is alpha lock its useful if you don't wanna have to make a whole layer and clip it to the layer underneath

also... my BEST advice for magma has got to be to use filters, they save my life, and I frequently use them when my colours arent looking too good. and I specifically LOVE using the "curves" option when you click filters.

they let you control how bright the drawing is, and specifically the amount of each colour (red, green, and blue) in your drawing

here i reduced blue, increased red, and reduced yellow, plus reduced contrast and increased saturation plus made it a bit brighter. looks a lot better in my opinion, filters can really save a drawing lol

random tips: use lasso selection its basically necessary! if the paint bucket/fill tool isn't working that great, increase tolerance and turn on anti-alias, you can also try using the smart option. although I gotta say generally I don't use fill tool as it only really works if you have very clean, sharp, and connected lines. usually what I'll do instead to save time on colouring is make a layer below the lineart, and then make the target layer "above," and then fill it, then fill in the gaps manually. i also recommend using the full mode layout option, unless you have a small screen then it's most optimal, because then you can see all the tools and options.

i also use this layout thing, idk what its called, and have each one be a different brush with different settings (for me, one will be a soft brush with hardness and density lowered, another a hard round (default) brush, another a textured lineart brush, a brush for stars, freckles, or other scattered dots where I just turn up spacing, scattering and jitter for size variation)

also... make sure you flip your canvas to catch your mistakes, you wont notice them until you see it from a different perspective, and the flip canvas button is up top

its this one

this is for colouring, but periodically go to "view" and click "show in greyscale" so you can see the contrast between your colours. if everything's the same shade or similar shade of grey, you need to make some parts darker or lighter to make them stand out

ngl i think that's it, unless there's something else you need to know. just realised I've been using magma for like 4 years at this point, time really flies by. hope I helped!

bshshshshs the way you color skin is AMAZING the light scatter and reflection and stuff is awesome

what are your OCs like?? what are some cool things about their dynamic and reasons why? anything you want to talk about but don't get a lot of chances to?

omg THANK you i was just chilling and I instantly got like 10 notifications thank you sm!! ngl almost no one asks me about my OCs so don't mind if I absolute drop a bomb on you lmaoo

jayden (chinese guy with devil horns hair and eyepatch) thinks in a very black and white way, his two solutions to any problem are to beat it up or hug it out, no in between. and he loves snacks, one of the first parts of my comic (not gonna be posted for a long time unfortunately) is just him getting mad at a little spirit cuz it takes a bite out of his cookie!!

speaking of spirits the lore of my universe is kinda crazy too, there's a spirit world and tons of demons and cool creatures, and how it works is that ANYTHING you believe exists, exists in the spirit world its a true show for imagination lol and I love being able to just come up with wacky creatures or terrifying god-like beings.

also i said universe, not earth, for a reason. cuz there are ALIENS in my universe (the alien arc is gonna be soooo long, my plan for my comic is to include every character and plotline I've ever created, and I have been making OCs/stories since I was in elementary school) and I've made whole solar systems and technology and alien biology

magic is also a thing and it's closely tied with the spirit world. puma guy (no name yet but he's the purple blonde guy with eyepatch, and was literally created as a joke cuz I wanted to make a funny plotline about a flipped version of jayden) is a magician and he's very good at it too, and in my universe magic is actually quite closely tied to science, and for example, you cant just make an apple appear out of thin air, it has to obey (at least some, teleportation is completely not understood) the laws of physics and nature.

jayden is super happy all the time and he's rarely serious. he's very nonchalant about violence but it's not necessarily the first action he'll take. he cares a lot about justice and what's right though, he can't even comprehend that some ppl are truly evil, he innately believes people to be good because that's just what his morals are. he cares a lot more about other people than himself. also his Chinese name is 尊强 (zun qiang) which literally means something like "honour strong" he also has an evil sword with a demon in it that he can control cuz he has a bigger stronger demon inside him (unironically why his nails are black, he's not emo its the DEMON)

also i have something in my story called "levels" which is the shape inside my character's eyes (they all have one). jayden has a star, puma guy has a flower, yael has a backwards play button etc. what level you are is how many sides the shape has, with a curve counting as one side, so since jayden has a star, he is a Level 10. scientifically and medically its not called a level, but more like "spiritual fingerprint" since its unique for every person and cant be changed, its a literal part of your spirit. the levels actually do have an impact spiritually cuz the higher level you are, the better you are at seeing sprits and stuff which isn't necessarily better as the greatest warlord in history also had the highest level of 14 and went insane and died cuz of all the spirits he was seeing.

also prince lefayze (long hair dude with blue eyes) technically is level 1 but the monarchy insists that they are actually level infinity and just better than everyone else. lefayze is obv part of the very corrupt monarchy but he's quite cut off from what goes on and genuinely has no clue about all the horrible things going on until jayden comes in cuz he's basically forced to work for the monarchy but he takes his chance to get closer to the prince and show him how messed up the king (his father) and basically everyone else is. the king literally makes decisions in the prince's name, so this makes him quite the target even though the prince has never actually made any policies or statements, he's just a figurehead.

the fact that hes a target makes a lot of ppl try and kill him for valid reasons, although their hate is misplaced cuz again, he's not even doing anything, he's clueless.

i havent posted this dude, but there's a guy named fernando (I took his name from that abba song I kid you not, also took yael's name from new soul by yael naim, cuz that song is fr her) and he's... not on friendly terms with jayden, and that's being nice. I'll reveal what actually happens later, but he's the one who took jayden's eye, and no one's happy about that.

also the main cast of my TEN OCs (most are not posted) can turn into animals, jayden can turn into a lion, lefayze into a wolf, yael into an owl, Fernando into a deer, puma guy into... well, a puma etc

yael i've only posted once but i don't draw her a lot even though I've developed quite a lot of lore for her (involves autism and childhood trauma, very serious stuff actually, my story has comedy and very tragic/messed up stuff, but her story is one of the saddest) and she always ends up being the middleman between all the people fighting around her cuz she's dating fernando but she also doesn't think his actions towards jayden were fair, so it's kinda just complicated.

puma guy, being the opposite of jayden, is very serious all the time and he beats nazis up, that's literally his whole thing (very relevant in modern times I know) and he wants a relationship real bad, and it certainly isn't hard to find ppl who like him cuz he is attractive, but he can't talk to them!! he suddenly loses his ability to speak coherently around people he respects or people he likes, and it kinda messes things up for him. not to mention, since he's fighting all the time, it's just hard to manage a relationship, so even when he gets someone he isn't able to keep it going and it usually comes to an end. also he's probably got the strongest virtues of all my OCs, he only beats up bad people and he doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, always tries to be a good person (thank his parents lmao)

puma guy is literally the only one with a healthy relationship with his parents, the way he was raised by them did make his extremely selfless and it made him not complain (if he didn't want to eat veggies or smth his dad would just say "my dad was in the camps, eat up" and his mom wouldn't help cuz she would also just say "well my dad was starving and his house got bombed" ww2 generational trauma goes crazy

so puma guy bottles up all his problems and refuses to care for himself cuz "other ppl are doing worse than me" I love writing complex characters man

jayden and puma guy dont quite have the absolute hate for each other like jayden and Fernando, but because they are literally written to be opposites, they often disagree on simple issues (classic "I want to paint the wall blue" "I want to paint the wall pink") and they kinda have a really funny competition between them.

jayden and the prince... oh boy where do we even start. well I'll get this out of the way, they like each other a LOT, and its an interesting dynamic cuz jayden is always getting hurt to protect the prince, and the prince always feels really bad cuz he too cares about jayden.

i have one other character who's also fleshed out, but I haven't posted them (I really should tbh, but my current ref is literally more than a year old) and their name is rocksalt, and they are very blunt, no nonsense, say it like it is kinda person. they don't really show fear and they kinda just have a nonchalant attitude. very suited for being involved in laws and stuff. also they can turn into a cobra and again, more childhood trauma.

last thing... i have an old written story about jayden and his love for boba, it involves gang members and the old boba shop owner... who literally ends up in the hospital and has an IV filled with boba. and I wrote that for school, no joke. not to mention, I got a really high score on it the teacher was raving about it brooo

i lied about last thing, i also made a whole entire plushy of puma guy, except its a silly fat cat and that is literally the FIRST depiction of him and the first concept of him I ever made, a lot of the elements of his design make sense when you see the plushy
