Character Wheel

Posted on 2 July 202331 August 2023 by DarkOverord in Art

I’m sure most people who have a holiday don’t immediately make a warm up project that is A Lot but I did!

You’ll have likely seen the colour wheel meme going around on social media where people ask for characters to match the character on the wheel but I didn’t want that pressure so just did my own characters… And then I wanted to animate it in a little GIF form so you can easily see the upside down characters…

Before realising that’s 8 characters you have to draw DO you silly thing. Because I was aiming to go with the animation that did mean that I was therefore deliberately going to limit myself to make this easier to do… And THEN I decided to make them approximately the correct height relatively. I am a fool.

This post is about to get LONG so be warned 🙂

Rigel v2.0 Reference

Posted on 30 September 20221 September 2023 by DarkOverord in Art, Reference Sheets

🔞 NSFW ref under the cut 🔞

This has been a project on the back-burner since 2021 and I figured between Nik’s commission and the next I’d take the short palette cleanser to make the new reference

Deliberate use of “v2.0” here, he’s artificial so I wanted to give the implication that he’s just made himself a new body 😛

To be fair with Rigel he’s probably somehow still operating his old body too.

Main changes since the original adoptable ref:

Rigel had decided he needed to be almost three feet taller, though being an inflatable that size isn’t exactly fixed in the first place
Whiskers: Longer
Mane: Bigger
Tail: More
Handles: Now on legs too
Webbies: Feet have them as well as his hands now

More changes to his design which means more and more “DO finally make a new ref sheet”

Pride (2022 ver)

Posted on 1 June 20224 September 2023 by DarkOverord in Art

I’d not done anything for pride in a few years, partly ‘cus I generally felt I was too behind on stuff and then June snuck up on me but this year I decided “Oh hey I best do it this year”.

Technically this was hinted in Subtle, it was indeed deliberately subtle. But before I get on to that, I still really love the idea of sticking stickers that wash off over time without damaging the magically animate and unpoppable inflatable toy etc. etc.

Hence the pride stickers. ANYWAY what was Subtle about?

Late Jan/early Feb I’d been ruminated on the hit topic we all know and love. Gender. Or, ironically, a lack of one. It’s something I’ve been thinking on for a while ‘cus boy howdy it sure is a strange coincidence that I keep making self-characters that are masc but also not really attached to being specifically male. Even the Obstagoon is SUPER masc but I don’t really consider them male.

Technically the correct term here probably would be “demiboy/guy/man” (as in, someone who feels male sometimes and other times not). But you know what gave me gender euphoria and what didn’t? Agender and demiboy respectively. So I followed the good chemicals and wow internal validation????????

“What does this mean for peeps though? New pronouns?” NOPE 😀

A lot of this is internal validation, they/he still works for me and I have no specific preference on which one. Boy howdy that’s convenient!

But you know, it’s good to finally bite and be open about it in a less subtle way :B
