Having one of those days where I hate everything I draw and try to vent by doodling some pointless self-indulgent stuff that I kinda sorta end up liking anyway… tsundere for my own art

Entrance exams, day one (Metropolia 3D animation)

1) A couple at a flea market is fooled into buying an impressive-looking item that 2) turns out to be something else (from three given perspectives). Three characters; optimistic buyer, their cynical partner and the cunning salesperson

Animal characters were required…. uuugh it’s hard when you have so little experience with furries and then it’s all just trying NOT to draw poor imitations of cartoons you know :’D

Adventures of dragon guy & sphinx gal. I rushed these on the last night before deadline so they look super plain haha. I got invited to the entrance exams though so it’s okay (Metropolia 3D animation)

The assignments were to 1) design two characters that are complete opposites, 2) display them from a 3D perspective and 3) draw a comic of them solving a problem together

I grew kinda fond of the characters, they’re both anthros in a different sense so it’s interesting to me

In short: he’s a witch, and in his culture a witch apprentice is expected to catch and raise a wild animal into their pet/familiar. This dude ended up with a particularly big one, maybe out of some urge to show off. Then the beast died, but it’s okay because magic

I made him into a really feminine type because I rarely design these sort of characters

Trying out some brushes. Mmmyup this dude is becoming a character in the Untitled Possible Future Project™

Sensei is usually seen hanging out at a local park. He’s in his late twenties and probably homeless. Kids love him because he knows everything, gives good advice and does their homework in exchange for food. He also claims to see the auras of people, though it could just be the stuff he’s smoking
