Charm Designs (Wave 11)

polnareff, dan hibiki, and d.va make up wave 11!

polnareff is one of my favorite non-jojo jojos. he's fun and it's neat that he lasted as long as he did in the series overall. silver chariot is also cool.

dan hibiki is definitely a street fighter! i wish he was in street fighter v, but i guess i understand why they've cut him (for now?). once upon a time i mained him in puzzle fighter. tha...

frank! popo! cube!

frank is another cool earthbound character i like. i wish he got more screentime, but i like how he's almost used as a "ground level" for the scope of earthbound. you start the game just dealing with the town punks, and by the end of the game you're fighting aliens and monsters and whatever. he gets a well paying job at a burger joint after you beat him. good for him!

Charm Designs (Wave 9)

soldier 76, white mage, and everdred are up next.

solider 76 was my first main in overwatch and i never really stopped playing him. he's got a cool design and i wish he was my dad. originally, i was gonna have him holding his gun, but i couldn't really get it to look right in silhouette.

white mage, as a "forbidden mario character", is and probably always will be interesting to me just as ...

Charm Designs (Wave 8)

i can't think of anything clever to say as an introduction!

here's jojo, aka young joseph. old and young joseph are basically like two separate characters, so i don't feel too bad having the same character twice like this. they're also very stylistically different, old joseph is built more like a fortress whereas young joseph is designed more in line with the other jojo charms.

pit is a mi...

Charm Designs (Wave 7)

heroes and villains collide in the crossover of the century!!

lucas (and boney!), gum, and robotnik. lets break it down-

lucas and boney complete the mother 3 quartet across 3 separate charms. lucas is almost always with boney throughout the game, so it felt fitting to include the two of them. i had some hesitation doing lucas, because i always pictured him as being taller and scrawnier th...

Charm Designs (Wave 6)

wow! its more! the fun never stops!!

sakura, joseph, and duster- but joseph is old! a departure from how id usually draw him.

sakuras charm design was inspired by pop'n music, and went through a few different passes before the final. i'm happy with how it came out, all things considered.

joseph is a bit of a departure from the other jojos stylistically! but i like how he came out a l...

Charm Designs (Wave 5)

some more obvious picks make their way into wave 5. beat was a long time coming, but honestly i forgot about him- and jet set radio in general! well, not completely. i decide who i want to draw on-the-fly, and i kept remembering then forgetting about jet set radio characters each time, usually in favor of characters who are on my mind. but beat won't be the only one, there's a few more left to go....

Charm Designs (Wave 4)

wave 4 brings ryu from streets, as well as yuuko and ramona from nichijou and scott pilgrim, respectively. theyre two characters that i like but don't parade around like i do with others, and while i was more into them a few years ago than i am now, they're still important. ryu's ryu though, he's cool.

by now there's a "pattern" or at least a "method" to how i divvy up waves. i try not to be ove...

Charm Designs (Waves 3 and 2)

surprise! i'm trickling out these designs slowly, but i'm starting with both waves 1 and 2. to make up for this discrepancy, i've included a hi-res upload of the wave 2 strip.

between this and last upload, i had to switch to CYMK colors which is not fun. as such, previous characters have their colors View Post

Charm Designs (Wave 1B)

the alt sides for the first wave, showing the same characters with alt palettes. this is one idea i had for the other side of these, though i've also considered doing things like alternate outfits, expressions, or other tweaks of similar complexity. im not 100% sure yet, but i think i'll give each one an alternate palette regardless in the event that i include "chaser" charms or something

Charm Designs (Wave 1A)

some designs for charms that i'm starting to work on. i'm considering trying to get a table at animeNYC in 2019, and i'd want to try to have some original charms to sell there (and probably at certain points inbetween). heres the front sides of the first wave, im not sure if i'd buy them in sets of 6 or in sets of 3. id have to gauge interest i guess? but the only way i can really do that is by ac...

Mario & Luigi Sprite Remasters

i posted a tiny preview of these on social media in august, but decided to go a tiny bit further and recreate some other poses as well. i plan on doing one last thing with these sprites, so we'll see if i have enough time to finish

Wario Sketches (Smash Collab)

for @PorkysPokey 's smash ultimate collab. mario was already chosen so i had to choose between dr. mario and wario. doc probably would've ended up being like, an actually serious drawing, and on top of that i don't really like drawing mario with his cap off, so i chose wario instead
