Original Characters #1: Finding an Art Style
I've always struggled in finding my artistic voice -- my art style -- and it somehow led me to "making" something that is very...conventional, for lack of a better word. But, the early days of 2023 inspired me to take risks and evaluate myself artistically, which led me to rediscover the artists and works that initially inspired me to actually do art. With that, I went back to falling in love back to Moebius (Jean Giraud) illustrations, PicCandle doodles, Adventure Time (Pendleton Ward) characters, and DeathBurger's vibe. And, it was just the thing I needed to find my footing again.
As I fell in love with the aforementioned works again, I somehow managed to make 3 illustrations inspired by those in one sitting!
Sleepy Witch
Leafy Boy
Cloudy: Sun & Moon
Sketches
I know I still have a lot to do to truly make it my own and 3 experimental illustrations aren't enough, but I'm pretty optimistic with this path. Hopefully, I can pull it off!
