Today is day 100 of my digital art journey! So why not celebrate it by revitalizing this thread? I could only draw analog the first time I did this and my art has improved a lot since those days, so I'm stoked to give this another go.
Basically it works like this: Share your ocs below, and people can draw your character in the outfit of one of their characters.
A few of my outfits and ocs:This Mora fitreference for Chili's outfit, not Texa's, which is pretty meh in this strip lolthis Texas fitThis Alicia fit
Ooh I wanna try this again. I might draw ultra ugly though I don’t have the energy to do really detailed work I am d r a i n e d. But still! Woo!! Congrats That’s a big milestone!!!
Tysm it's been a long journey but I did it! Still trying to figure out how to celebrate xd. I got really sick this week so I haven't done much of anything. Maybe I'll make a celebration "Mental Soup" strip
If you are interested in a trade I'd love to draw Mia, but don't try and do a trade if you're too brain dead lol. I don't want you to burn yourself out
And you’ve learned so much on the way I’ve really seen a huge improvement in these 100 days. I hope you rest up well tho being sick is no fun celebrating could be anything to mark the event, it could even be just making a special meal at home, one of you’re favorites or something? Just something signify or acknowledge the milestone.
I would love to do ann art trade with you for Mia! Who would you like me to draw? I think I will do a sketch this time though because I’m very drained but I love drawing people so I think I’ll do a pen sketch of one of you your characters.
thanks XD. and I am recovering pretty well, I'm feeling a lot better than I did yesterday,
I'd be down for a sketch of Alicia or Mora, whichever interests you more. Now to just figure out who's fit would suit Mia best...
She seems to have a pretty soft and pretty style, so I think I'll draw her in Therese's homemade wedding dress
granted, Mia is too young to get married, but the dress barely looks like a wedding dress anyway. Therese was a free spirit who did whatever she wanted
You know I don’t think I’ve ever drawn Alicia!? And she’s your main girl?! How is this possible lollll I think it’s time I finally draw her. And honestly I think the wedding dress will look like Mia’s regular fashion and not a wedding dress, she wears kinda pseudo Victorian clothes that her mom and dad used to make (they were seamsters/fashion designers)
XD, have at it then. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
My OC Therese George loves sewing, she makes all her own clothes and the clothes for her son and husband.
She made this dress herself, but even though she was 19 in the sixties when she got married, her style was retro even back then, kind of pioneer-girl, (which I think is was about the same time as the Victorian era) so that suits Mia well I think. And tbh, it barely looks like a wedding dress imao, just a simple white dress
@beebutterbeeI hope I did her justice. Ngl, trying to copy the moles accurately threw me for a loop lol. But it was fun
Aww no don’t worry, this is so cute!! I feel like you really captured her face. Also as a side note, I do her moles sort of sporadically every time. They’re roughly the same ish looking but no one’s counting how many she actually has, not even me I think you put more thought into her moles than I do! I call them freckle moles, I have similar ones as does my brother and dad under our eyes.
BUT I also have your sketch I hope I got her pretty enough, I also was referencing your word description of her having a doll like face, like American dolls. It’s hard for me to draw NOT long faces though, I struggle with the more round face shapes. Still I hope you like it
Alicia PalmeroIt’s kinda wonky but I still think it looks cute.
I’d also do another one of these things if you’re up to it later today!
oh for sure. which character would you like to draw? i might have more references for you lol
omg, when you said sketch i was not expecting this much detail. it's soooo pretty. tysm. I think you captured her essence really well. she really does look like an American girl doll xd. May I share this on my ig and credit you?
And I'm glad you like the pic of Mia. I'm coloring it rn, but my tablet died so i have to charge it lol. as for the moles, my mom has moles like that too. I have like five facial moles but not enough to look like freckles
p.s.: is this dress you drew Alicia in Mia's dress from the picture in the brunette's section or someone else's?
omg I realize I just typed “American dolls” like a dork def you knew what I meant tho lol I was trying to channel that energy. I’m glad you like it though!! Also since I doubt anyone is really watching this thread at the moment I’ll just drop my insta so you can tag me there, it’s arcadeloser … I really need to rebrand with a pen name …
You know it was supposed to be the same dress as that one I had Mia in but now I notice the hem of the dress IS in fact different: oh no :’) That was just me confusing it for another one of Mia’s different dresses.
Just to torture you I’m making you draw Geoffrey … NO lol lol sorry didn’t mean to give you a heart attack, I wouldn’t make you do that I do want to draw a guy character though so if you have any refs of one I’d be up to it! I was thinking a trade with Sabah though?
I think the stripe pants are a statement xD
Lol, sure I'll give Sabah a go, approx how tall is he so I can get the vibe right?
(I Don't think I'd be able to draw Geoffrey ugly enough to satisfy you)
I'll give you two options for boys. Chili my extra king, or sweet little Christopher George
Chili almost always keeps his hair slicked back, but not just after washing lol
Mia in color
You know I don’t actually know his exact height. I guess somewhere between 6’0-6’2. Here’s a ref of him next to his past girlfriend, she’s under 5 feet tall, he’s a lot younger here though. You’re welcome to draw him in his 20s btw.
I think I wanna draw Chili!!! Honestly, he has a kind of off the walls design I like in characters. Take your time with the trade though, I have some errands to do so I won’t be able to draw until later!
ALSO the Mia in color just popped out! She looks adorable Unfortunately now I’m realizing she’s looking kind of like a cult member in the white dress lolll it’s adorable still, I just think I read about too much about cults and secret societies.
Also yes I know I spelled millennium wrong
I'm glad you liked the colored version. I'm still working on learning to render shadows and such. I liked adding the tummy shadow for my plus sized queenies and I think it looks cute but sometimes it just looks like smudges on their clothes lol.
So yesterday I realized three things. Sabah and Chili are almost the same height and they both have a thing for short queens under five feet tall apparently so of course I had to dress him up as ChiliAlso Sabah in his twenties looks almost exactly like I imagine Kattar looking. It's uncanny. What ethnicity is Sabah supposed to be? and his former girlfriend?
(Also this drawing of Sabah is in my Sketchy Business art style. He gave me 'extra' vibes so I figured I should go all in lol)
I also add the tummy shadow thing on my plus sized characters too if they’re wearing something more form fitting! It’s a good detail, I think it read well in the Mia drawing :o
Also I need to draw Chili!!! Sorry I’ve been kinda scattered. I’ll hop to it. But omgggg this Sabah drawing is literally amazing lol he actually is very extra that’s why I thought a trade between him and Chili would be really fun. I love how it turned out I think the dialogue is also perfect for him honestly.
Sabah’s dad was Mexican and his mom was Mexican and Indian! It’s funny how he’s giving you Kattar vibes though, I think it must be the long hair Sabah’s former girlfriend, Hieronyma, was Italian and Chinese. But she got abducted by aliens and never came back
