My art style bend attempt! For those who don’t know, the rules of art style bend are you ask friends or followers what the most distinctive traits of your art are, and then you have to draw something using none of those traits.

My banned traits were thick line art, cell shading, and forms / character designs that look grounded in a 3D space. So what better way to force me into 2D than to design a character I literally can’t make 3D reference for!
I’ve been calling her Quail because of her helmet plume, and she’s a deity of both astronomical and physical space.

I’m beyond happy with how this came out! Especially considering I went into this with no mental image of what I wanted her design to look like or how I’d handle layers and effects and all that.

Sometimes you just gotta draw your OCs in pretty dresses

Also agender pride! Character goes by they/them pronouns

I think I’ve gotten stuck in a trap where if I can’t think of something interesting or dynamic to draw character(s) doing, then I just don’t draw. And since I’ve had exactly zero ideas for the past, like, two months, here’s just a plain ol drawing of Maverie in an alternate outfit so I don’t get too rusty :’)

I gave Maverie a lil snoot, because unlike my other noseless characters, it doesn’t really make sense for her not to have one? Linnet and Kobi are synthetic lifeforms who need less oxygen, Makana’s amphibious, Sylvia has something akin to spiracles, and Squid’s… a special case, but not having a nose as a typical mammal would be inconvenient, lol

Man, I still love characters with impossibly fluffy hair

I’ve been pretty devoid of drawing ideas lately, so I figured I’d try to interpret what a scyther from RimWorld looks like from their sprites

RimWorld sprites normally don’t show arms or legs, but scythers definitely look like they have arms that are 100% blade, yet if you check their health tab when they get damaged they apparently have hands and five fingers?? So I gave them vaguely praying mantis arms with a hand just stuck behind a folding blade, hah. Mechanoids do have that whole insect theme going on after all

What is it with me and loving the designs of enemies that are the absolute worst to deal with gameplay-wise? Those raids that are just a pack of like 50 scythers is the worst RimWorld experience I can think of, but I just can’t resist robots, I guess
