Aloe References Rotations

Updated and finalized reference material for my character, Aloe since its been a year since my old ref sheets and I've kinda deviated/ improved since then. The outfit is the only thing not set in stone because obviously, one can just change them. Done in Clip Studio

Tons of Imp Sketches

I have been trying to hammer in both individual designs and a cohesive overall style for my imps after slogging taway just at one character for ages. I'm pretty content with the results to be honest, but still a ways still until finished product.

Aloe,

 I just have to clean the back of her head at this point. lowering/ lengthening her usual ponytail/ bun thing makes it conflict less with her massive horns.

Sunny

Simplifying his head into a general shape of spikes has made drawing and emoting him tons more fun and flexible. Now for the pain in ass profile view..

Smol

Another good example of less is more in terms of shaving her head of excess design and pushing the extremes of body differences between the main 3.

Now have a ton of Aloes done in the past months that helped get to this point.

Panel practice and some Cards

Not actual thumbs to the comic, just practicing page layout.

Also weird cards I'll elaborate on at a later date.

Large Amounts of Smol Imp Sketches and Concepts

Lost and lots of sketches I have been doing the past week and a half. of this little sass master.

Sunny Boy

Yeah I actually drew another one of these things, one whose design ISN'T a pain to settle on.

Traditional pen and ink touched up a bit digitally.

Scaredy Poops

I decided to do expression practice last night and it got pretty derpy. Also somehow turned the best quality one shown below into a friend's character. Hrm. I'm still debating what kind of fear that counts as. Accidental scaredy poops?

Imp Environment Concept Painting

Cherry picked concept painting for my future webcomic in the making that I have been working on  privately. Played around with colors that won't really represent how it will look in the long run.

Done using watercolor and gouache.

Aloe the Imp: Flat Inks Concept Piece

After years of constant changes in story, here is an initial ink drawing of my imp character, now named Aloe. She is a bit under dressed to show how imps are generally constructed in build, but Aloe here is also a bit more influenced by human posture a bit more than the fused lizard/ equine/ rodent influences that birthed how imps will look. *Have to keep the main character a bit more relate-able to the reader after all.*

I also did away with visible ears that every piece had up to now because they caused nothing but generic looking goblins and hair design issues. Weird fleshy lizard frills and random horns all the way!

Fun fact: This lone drawing doesn't show it, but she is actually a bit taller than the average imp, because why not.

I will post more about my webcomic here and on tumblr as I finalize more designs.

Quick Alt Design Imp doodle

I'm busy sorting out the setting now that my main character is defined, butttttt here is an alternative design that is a tad too busy, but I like the addition of generic cartoony wings and horns with her KH weird squirrel tail.
