The hat is really nice. The problem I have with hats is that when I draw them, they just make the head look awkward and big. But you did a really great job. And the folds. The folds.
I'm seriously doing that as well now. I have a whole folder of references, I just never use them.
I love anime where they change their clothes. But that is always shoujo. And I don't really like shoujo too much. I'm getting off topic. I think what I am trying to say is that I think its cool that your character have their own wardrobe and that it is very realistic.
Don't worry. I'ts not length that matters. That sounded dirty.
It acually a very interesting habit! Because most female artist always draw female characters, and then have a hard time drawing male ones LIKE FREAKING ME. So drawing females should be easy and its probably less work. you just have to make shoulders smaller, hips wider and make the neck more slender and you have a chick :)
As for personalities..that is a little harder because you always try to not have to default to character stereotypes. I always use Tvtropes to help me create characters in general. For example I think you character Stefan is this type of character. Wow. This comment is turning into something unnecessarily long. Anyways.
Keep up the awesome work :D
Thank you! ;3; I actually have trouble drawing hats, so I'm glad it looks okay. xD
I use refrences for the shape of certain clothes... like for the bill of Rick's hat. I used to draw it all wrong, but then I looked up a refrence and realized how it really should look. I've been drawing it more correctly, since. I also look up refrences so I know how certain clothes should look on the body, and just for inspiration. I also get lots of clothing inspiration from shopping. xDD If I'm lazy though, I'll just make up something on the spot. It doesn't always work out. (Usually for Rick, since I just end up drawing him in a plain-cut tee with jeans. orz I want to give him more interesting clothing. ;A;)
Although, I also have lots of default clothing stored in my memory for certain characters, like Dare's apple shirt. So it's kind of like they have their own wardrobe... in a way.
...
This is long. I am so sorry. orz
Thanks again!! :) The problem with the My Dear Princess story is that I'll probably never get around to drawing it, due to laziness and problems with drawing comics. "orz But I'll post more about it through character profiles and stuff. :d Even though I'd really like to draw it. orz
I want to make female OCs, but I have such a hard time coming up with cool personalities and designs! ;A; IDK WHY, IT'S JUST A BAD HABIT.
I LIKE DRAWING GUYS BECAUSE I CAN MAKE THEM ACT STUPID.
LIKE DARE.
For the first picture, I REALLY want to have Rick's hat. It is so amazing. Do you ever look up outfits or do you just draw them yourself?
LOL I love your sisters drawing. Being able to share you animeness with your sisters must be so fun. I envy you!
Why are you so good at full body. Why. Just tell me. WHY.
Out of all of these sketches though, Gaelnis is my favorite! Im actually kind of excited to hear more of the the story "My Dear Princess. Sounds exciting :D
I can only suggest army type boots. Coz those are the only type of boots I know. And heels. But dont give him heels. Unless you want to.
And the last on is really creepy in a good way. Its super detailed and kind of steampunkish, so of course I love that! I wish I had your problem! I cant stop making female OCs and drawing guys is such a pain :/
Oh...*.* Make her flat chested! *.* Those are always fun characters~! X3 Then she might look like a boy...not unless you give her a girly haircut! :D But I know what you mean about voluptuous figures...they're hard to draw because their proportions are different than what you'd expect...O.o;
Thanks for your compliments!! ;3; Really, it was more than I'd expected. xD
As far as the last picture goes... Idk about a "sexual" girl, I don't really do sexy girls very well. xDD But I do see what you mean as far as the design goes. If I make him a girl though, I'll probably give her a more modest figure... but keep the clothes kind of skimpy-ish.
Blahblah. I'm half talking to myself. :I
Bombard us with as many sketches as you'd like~! I love looking at 'em~!
I like Loyal's starry socks~! X3 They make me happy and inspire me to draw something cute...not that I will...XD *evil laugh*
HOLY CRAP! THE DETAIL ON GAELNIS IS AMAZING! I love how you drew his right arm/hand!
And that bottom on...HOLY CRAP...That surprised me! I would never think you'd draw something like that! XD I'm glad ya did, though, it looks awesome! I love all the details and really great job on the pose! I love his torso!
If you make him a girly guy he'd probably get a lot of fangirls, but if you make him a slightly sexual girl then he'd get fans from all over...but I dunno if he'd get so much response. I'd go for a sexy looking girl just 'cause it seems out of the norm and the female design in my head for him looks fairly sexual...basically the same thing except the short are panties...and 'e's got breasts.

Uh.
Where is the beautiful sketch of Chad?
(By the way, that one on the bottom is really cool. I'm jealous because I could never draw something like that on a whim. Hahaha.)
