A black-and-white scanned sketch of the astronaut mouse from the front and the side, as well as the gun.

Finished a reference sheet for this nameless space cadet mouse character. There is a bit of a funny story behind her, actually. I was doing a deep dive into pixel art, 'pixelshit' and indie games in general when I found a tutorial video for 16x16 characters with terrible, soulless, beady-eyed humans as examples with a link to an online pixel art course that was — stripped from it's FOMO coupon code — 90USD. This infuriated me so much I made a 16x16 pixel art character myself and I liked the end result so much I decided to keep her.

I've made various hats for my original characters today:

Various cartoon doodles of hats.

Due to special, programmable crystals embedded into them, they give their wearers superpowers. Without a bit of knowledge on how crystal programming works, you'll never know what powers you'll receive until it's too late!

The characters in my project are superheroes who live together in an apartment. They wear the hats to not only signal their status as superheroes, but also use them to fight crime and help locals. The most notable characters include a crossing gaurd, a botany-wielding bandit, your typical fighting game protagonist, and a brain in a robot's body.

Crystal Programming is an art that involves adding, modifying, or removing aspects of a superpower the crystal provides. It runs through a code that is understood by the special kind of programmers, hackers and engineers. It is said to make humans capable of manipulating reality to their will. This is why many people constantly fight for the universe's balance from those who abuse it.

Thankfully, there is a limit included in each crystal that prevents humans and animals from gaining absolute power over their world and environment. No one knows who invented the "limit", but according to Greek legend, it has been used by gods to teach humans and animals their place in the universe.

Here's some rough drafts in one image:

Rough drawings of millipede, beetle man, antler blade man, and a ninja firefighter. Bottom of these drawings are rough concepts of Amber, a gelatin-bending defensive character.

I might need to develop the design of Amber, the level-headed supervisor of the team. She has this interesting gimmick of protection in the form of a golden, translucent substance.

hi hi!! not posting much lately cus i'm hard at work making some comics about my guys, i might share them here too if y'all are interested in a little gay slice of life stuff. speaking of guys, here's a drawing of one i'm sending to my friend :] side profile of sebastian on a purple background. he is smiling. he's trading card flavored for easy mailing. unironically gonna miss this because it turned out so cute and nice. edit: immediately after hitting post i thought for a second and realized that i should share the text on the reverse side seeing as how it's whimsical. it's in character from sebastian, and this is what it says - "WHY WORRY ABOUT BEING TOO MUCH LIKE ME? ----- IMITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY AND WHO BETTER TO IMITATE THAN YOURS TRULY? [autograph here with a <3]" this friend in particular is a muse for sebastian which is why it's there

sketch i did during some spare time at school today

halfbody digital sketch of hibiki, a girl with the DDLC uniform and messy hair in low pigtails. she's standing with bad posture. her head is tilted down, and one hand is brought to her cheek. the other hand is hanging at her side. she's looking to the side with a sort of flustered smile on her face and is blushing

god yall's artstyles are so good! i've been trying to get into drawing my entire life and its so hard to keep practicing it as a habit, but seeing these works is so so inspiring. how long does it take yall to finish one of these? one of the biggest things holding me back is that whenever i wanna do a doodle for practice it quickly becomes a 4-hour long project at least, so it gets hard to find the time for it.

I definitely need a lot more practice (and some actual studying, probably), but I have some sketches here (just some bats for now):

A sketch of a cartoon bat's head in a side view A sketch of a cartoon bat spreading their wings out An even less finished sketch of a bat spreading their wings
