Offering Art Trades

[korosukyofu]

Hi there! I just joined the forum, so howdy! I'm just browsing atm, so I'm curious what kinds of fun and interesting things there are to see here. I'll post an example of the kind I'm willing to draw in exchange for yours in turn. It can be color but I'm not good at coloring, I don't mind basic coloring though.

This is my character I call Julian Rookwood. I'm still working on his reference so this is just a simple headshot of him. This is basically what I'll be offering with my part. All I ask is you post a character (headshot only for right now) and tell me a little bit about them!

[ArtGremlin]

I’ll go cook up a doodle of Julian right now
This is my character Xivian/Ian

He is the prince of an island that is isolated from the rest of the world by magic. In this picture his left eye is covered so that his royal birthmark is mostly hidden (peasant disguise) he’s also not a very good prince. Better at avoiding responsibilities than fulfilling them. He likes reading old books and escaping the palace.

Would you happen to have any drawings of Julian facing forward? Just so I can get a better idea of his face/hair shape

[korosukyofu]

Yes I do, it's just a basic line art yet but I've got one right here for you.

[ArtGremlin]

I made a terrible decision and started drawing bro from the angle not shown on ref why did I do that to myself…

[korosukyofu]

Oop lol happens! Can't tell you how many times I mess up an angle from something

[ArtGremlin]

The problem was that I intentionally chose to suffer but anyway, I survived

Here’s your fella

[Skyy]

Your style really reminds me of glam from the show metal family. It might just be the hair

[Skyy]

Hello! So I'll doo a drawing of him tomorrow cause it's super late for me but I'll give you my oc aswell.

This is kosai. He is a clown that was sold to the circus by his scumbag parents when they ran out of money. He was abused by the circus officials. When he turned 19 he became the ring leader. Along with his partner they burned down the circus they were trapped in for just under a decade.

There's a lot more lore but that is a summary

[ArtGremlin]

XD Literally the only times I’ve heard about Metal Family are people comparing my ocs to Glam- this might be the third time haha. I think the first time was with Ian, but the second was a completely different character. Neither of them really look much like glam to me, but I love his character design. I’m intrigued now. Kinda want to watch it now. If only yt would load…

I'm down to give it a shot, but fair warning my style is very cartoony. Here's my female lead (With her roommate, ignore him)

Do you have any references where the top of his head is visible?

[midnightsun]

Julian looks really fun to draw tbh I’m excited to sketch him. Here’s my boy Felix if you want to give it a shot. He’s a vampire and a bit shy

[korosukyofu]

Thank you so much <3 Here's yours.

[korosukyofu]

@Skyy @Leyelle @midnightsun I'd love too! Here's an updated version of my reference for Julian.

[ArtGremlin]

I love it!! Your style is so pretty <3

[Krysteena]

This is all I got right now with my art on hand of my cover I have been focusing more on the novel these days!

[Leyelle]

cuute. I really like your art style. it's so whimsical

[Leyelle]

Thanks for the larger reference!

[Leyelle]

@korosukyofu

Here's Julian in the style of my comic Sketchy Business. He made me realize that none of my characters have sharp chins in this art style lol. Hope you like it. I really hope I did his hair right

[korosukyofu]

No that's totally fine I love it! Thank you so much.

[lizardlullabye]

Their hair looked really fun to draw.
