Sketchbook Smashing: Summer Updates

Hello all, new semester, new header! It’s not the only thing that’s new. Here are character design updates:

Also. people have been asking me on if these characters have stories, and yes, they do. Currently, I’m chipping away at a novel starring them. If people want to know more, they can always go here.

Simon: Spring 2024 to Summer 2024

Simon used to have a back brace but its logistics got too confusing. He has a harness now. I made his cape shorter and worn in a cape rather than a long coat. I’m not sure why I didn’t do that sooner. I think my favorite part of his new design is his cape chain.

Lias:

I think this is their first character sheet. I switched up their hair and skin markings. I like the vest, but I’m not so sure about the jacket.

Enola:

Another first character sheet! I’m currently trying to make her design more detailed to fit with the other characters.

Cyrene: Spring 2024 to Summer 2024

I wanted to make her look tougher, hence the spikes. I also gave her an inky supermodel.

Sketchbook Smashing is an attempt to chronicle her process in designing characters. From first concepts, hairstyle and outfit changes, or even complete shifts in design.
