Description Well here i am, my hands numb after fidgeting and experimenting around with a lot of brushes for hours before settling on to two awesome brushes!
so i decided to try out those new brushes by drawing some characters;
the one on the right is called "the keeper" (well there's me trying to be cryptic and ominous but ending up with a cliche name...)
the red orbs are his actual eyes while the bottom face is just a mask
still working on his design though, i'm going for a creepy look so if you have any suggestions, do tell
tell we what you think about this new style

also, this will probably be the last post in a while because i'm planning on studying some story-boarding or animatics. wish me luck

Wow! First of all, this is awesome. As soon as I saw it, i had to click on it to see the rest of the picture. I already love these character designs, they are really unique, and I already know the distinctive design of your character annalyn e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="453" title="Wink/Razz"/>.
The guy on the right, is just as awesome. His design is very interesting in itself, and the way you incorporated his eyes into the horns is equally as creative e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

I love the way you shaded these. The colours and poses are really great, and I think they suit the characters really well. The keepers design may be a little too dark in contrast to Annalyn, but these are just representations and would contrast with the lighter background anyway e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/> Other than this, I think you've done a really great job! And I love how you've drawn them in your very own style. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="17" height="23" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="599" title=""/>

This looks great! Amazing job on this! Does this take longer? Because there's no lines and you have to make sure that the edges are smooth.
(I'm really sorry. I don't know how to leave a constructive comment.;-; )

Thanks!
yes! It takes significantly longer to make these, almost twice as long
(and that's ok)

I really like this style, it suits you. The only advice I would give is to either add more darker shades in your light coloured characters or use softer darker colours as alternative for black. This prevents the eyes / mouth area to look too harsh.

Yeah, i guess that would work better but for the darker shade, this was supposed to be a bright warm palette maybe i should've added more contrast?

I found a useful tutorial in terms of colouring here: imaginationinternationalinc.co…
It explains it a but more clear than I can. But I reckon that if you add some highlight or blush that it will all blend a bit more.

Thanks for the resource!
I did add highlights in this particular picture, though
I can't implement blushes on these characters due to them not having visible skin, but i'll try it on my human characters
