HI FRIENDS! I thought to myself last night, "What would really interest me in someone's comic?" And then it came to me: CHARACTER DESIGN.

So as a way of promoting your comic, share your main characters' concept and reference art below! Tack on a link to their respective comic(s) as well I'll go first--

Here's the first ever iterations of my characters Roan and Cici--

Then after that, I whipped up a quick reference sheet for the two, followed by a more detailed rendition as of recent

Here's a side by side comparison of three of the main character's first, and current designs.

And one for The Masked Stalkee

These are old but it's still the baseline of what I was going for. Some of them still are not colored lol

Gawd I have one for the whole cast, but what i need are more fashion studies!!! And to do some updates and more facial studies for them :0

Oooo don’t get me started on the concept sketches. I’m prolific. It’s my favourite part I think.

I always enjoy making and sharing concept art. Here are my 3 main vampires from my traditionally drawn Horror/fantasy comic. @bootsii I also subscribed to your comic as I am always looking for more horror comics to add to my library.

I tend to give my characters new outfits after every story arc, so I don't always have specific character ref sheets but I have a few things...

The initial designs for the trio:

And then some later faces when I was updating how I drew their hair and features:

I also did some actual concept sheets for the two remaining party members that haven't been introduced yet:

I also did some concept art for Rowan's outfit in the upcoming story arc:

XiuLyn_12 2022-06-09 04:34:43 UTC #14

Mine's not detailed at all All I need is face design lmao

These pieces of concept art essentially started it all, almost-generic vampire higher-ups for the animated series pitch bible. Made me want to tell a completely different story about these two. And so we did.

Ref sheets for everyone who's been introduced so far! They already had designs, these just helped me simplify them for the purpose of being drawn a billion times and figure out the stylistic angle I wanted to take with the comic as a whole.

This is one of the first images I ever drew of Lan, if I can remember correctly. November 04 2018.

Sometime in 2021 for my own reference of what he'll look like at the end.

And him on his actual reference sheet ! Well, on the outfit reference sheet, since I can't recall the forums' rules about bare chests...

Sure...here are the iterations of my characters from my cover artist, Foxtail (https://www.deviantart.com/wilsanne07/gallery/)

Initial sketch:

Sketch with The Destroyer's design finalized, but many of the clothes still to be dialed in:

I don't have a lot of references comparison. But I do have a lot of concept art.

We just did a concept art dump with mine!:

(We went with this one)

Deleted Art:

Here's concept art of Quincy Q. Quinn. This design was made all the way back in July 2021!!!! MONTHS before I met Doodle and came up with That Stick Figure Isekai:

Here's the final product:

I'd show you concept art for the other characters but we really didn't need to do any since... y'know... stick figures :v

Description: Naota Nakaoka was just your typical harem hearthrob until his life was cut short. Now he's been reincarnated .... as a stick figure. How will he be able to rebuild his harem in a world where where anime tropes (and faces) don't exist??? Find out in That Stick Figure Isekai!!! Episodes every Friday!
