oak leaves - before the fall

Postby Kayara » Sun Feb 04, 2024 4:47 pm

This didn't take as long as the timer says it does, I was very distracted at times but also deciding if I wanted to do something just so or, alternatively, just so. I changed her eye color four different times my goodness.

I want to do more expression work. As you can see, I once again opted for the eyes to look straight into the soul yet it's mostly a blank stare but for a few things on the face that might convince you otherwise. I don't think it's an entirely vacant expression but it's not very evocative and this bothers me - she looks very chill about having a black eye. ANYWAY Thank you for your time.
new character maybe ???? I was imagining so many different things while I made this it's almost impossible not to

oWo thank you so much!! Pink eyes are so interesting. In real life, we have white rabbits and other albino animals that sport that physical characteristic naturally while in media, pink/red eyes can convey a lot of things about a character, from vampires to the cutesy-est fairy/fairy-like human. In this gal's case, I wanted that to be part of her story. There is something hidden from her, lying dormant right under her nose.
Also thanks for the leaf appreciation, 🫶 it was a last-minute addition because PINK AND GREEN IS A GOOD COMBO idc what some people say about it, roses, Christmas, matcha-strawberry?? grow up you guys. /ref /j sorry, not directed at you at all lol. anyway
tysm again <33 ^^

I know the expression was a point of concern but the face has so much character on it,s own an abundance of emotion would merely be a distraction. What a lovely d & d character. /j
This is lovely. The way you draw noses never fails to draw out my envy. Stunning.

Aww really?? I appreciate that so much you have no idea, I’m glad you can see what I was going for owo
LOL she really could be. Definitely have a very fantasy/adventure storyline in mind for her. Thank you 🥺 I tried making the nose bridge have a bit of a curve near the brow and I haven’t fully decided how I feel about the effect or whether I succeeded but overall I’m pretty happy with the highlights on the end of her nose and nostril. Thank you, dear <33
