It's that time...I'll draw your OC if you draw mine

[Leyelle]

@2DLenzy I just realized I'd drawn one of your chickens, but not a single one of your humans. Would you like to swap for one of them?

[beebutterbee]

Oooh I love seeing more art on this thread I owe some art here but I’ve been trying to meet a deadline for this art exhibit but once that’s done I will return >:)!!! I loved drawing other’s characters and seeing other peoples interpretations of my own OCs too!

More news at 5 about being a professional procrastinator

[2DLenzy]

Sure! I'll give you a choice between Luke(left) or Aldi(right), whichever is easier (neither is easy for me, lol)

...Whoever you give me, I'll try to do my best, cause I never know when I'll have a good or bad drawing day XD

[KevinReijnders]

Aldi

Did you name them after the store or is it a coincidence?

[2DLenzy]

Yep. I totally named her after the store XD.

My main family was originally based off mascots, like Colonerl Sanders, the Popeyes lady, Wendy's, but I had to improvise for a "whole foods"/ vegan thing. It was all I could think of at the time XD.

[KevinReijnders]

Haha nice

Though I gotta say that I think it's funny you gave the "Whole Foods" lady the name Aldi, because vegan and healthy food is not what I think of when I think of the Aldi

[2DLenzy]

I gave up and went with it, I liked the name XD.

[Leyelle]

I procrastinate a lot too tbh, just usually on more work. I count art trades as work because I'll never draw boys if i'm not drawing other folks OCs XD

[Leyelle]

Oh wow, Aldi looks nothing like what I expected from the silhouette you teased before XD. I love her design. I think I'll try her.

I could go for a drawing of Essence. I'll send a picture alone with her description

[abigaillmartin]

I miss Aldi (the store) it’s unfortunate that it’s not on the west coast.

They have the best German chocolate. I would always get that one.

@2DLenzy Essence Walker!

She is 5'10, and her complexion is very dark, think molasses. that doesn't represent well on paper though lol, because I need to be able to see the lines for her other features. Her hair and eyes are black, and her eyes are not that large. She tends to have "sleepy eyes." She has straight eyebrows that aren't super thick, full lips, and a round nose (cuz she's African American, Sudanese decent) but it's not super big.

Also she is thin with virtually no curves. it makes it very hard for me to draw her because i'm so used to drawing my short, curvy pudgy girls

edit: forgot to mention that her hair texture is kinky...., probably about 3b

[2DLenzy]

Awesome! I'll have it done later tonight- I'm about to go out for a bit- but I'm excited to try!

[Leyelle]

@2DLenzy For clarity so I don't mess Aldi up, is her hair texture naturally loose curls, or is she supposed to have a perm of some kind?

[2DLenzy]

I'm kinda (really) bad at hair types, but I looked up a reference and I assume it naturally tight curls (I'm guessing 3A curls, but shortened?)

But you have the freedom to change it if you want. Any style I reckon would look cute.

edit: I just made the curls exagerrated for my style

[Leyelle]

Alrighty. I don't want to change up your OCs without permission ofc. But natural hair is totally my thing as a curly girl myself XD

[Leyelle]

@2DLenzy I kept the hair style similar, but a little nappier, like a woman I know used to wear her hair. I also thought I'd switch up her earrings a bit lol.

hope you like it!

[Leyelle]

@ArtGremlin

I've gotta work on drawing less humanoid characters, so want me to give Mev a try? I'm not sure exactly how old she's supposed to be so I'd need to know that to do her proper justice XD, but I'm up for a new challenge if you're interested.

[2DLenzy]

Oh, I love her! I also like the earrings you chose. Well done and thank you. Might need a minute for the lovely Essence. Just got back home.

[Leyelle]

It's fine take your time XD. I'm glad you like the drawing

[ArtGremlin]

Ooh sure ^^
Mev is in her early twenties.

She’ll wear anything that doesn’t have sleeves and isn’t modern (because the setting isn’t modern)
