Karmarossa's Art Thread

[Karmarossa]

hii and welcome to my art thread!!
im karma and i draw, i especially love drawing my ocs so you may find here characters with little to no context (i'll try my best to provide). who knows, maybe i'll even post fanart which i make once every blood moon (°ロ°)
most of my art is traditional colorless lineart, so expect a lot of sketch-looking drawings that i try to clean as best as possible

-- im guessing my art will evolve with time, so it's needless to say later posts will contain newer art --

---

that being said im gonna start this with some drawings i just finished (˘︶˘) drawing at 12 am is like magic but side profiles are still hard to do </3

Spoiler: this dude (said gender-neutrally)

im currently working on their story but for now they're a rebel forced to be a pokemon trainer by their wealthy family

i've been wanting for some time to do an animatic(?) with a specific song that i thinks fits an oc a lot, thanks to women's day i could force myself to start it (happy women's day too btw) because i've been MONTHS with this idea

the song in question is Ribs by The Crane Wives (cool band you should totally check them out they do country and folklore stuff), the song is about a woman protecting herself from cruelty and facing her fears on her own terms
the oc in question is (very abridged lore ahead and im only mentioning the stuff i plan on drawing for the animatic) a zoroark who died while migrating to hisui and became a hisuian variant (this is as much as i drew today for this </3), a century after she started roaming the region as a ghost she meets a typhlosion who wants to eat her soul and during a fight she's swallowed by a space-time distortion, now in the future she poses as a human to blend in and she finds a riolu who wants to become a strong fighter so she sets to train her so she doesnt become a lonely meanie like her

Spoiler: marrow made a wife of eve but no one gave up a rib for me and mine (TW: CONTAINS STYLISED GORE)

Spoiler: my heart stayed exposed to the elements

Spoiler: calloused and untouched by a man's design

Spoiler: oh my ugly organs how lucky we are

Spoiler: brick and mortar between my bones built a kingdom fierce and fortified

Spoiler: and my name faded from a yellow page but the stones are laid upon the mountainside

i hope i can make more tomorrow!! :DD i like how it's coming out so far

 

[Karmarossa]

aaaaa im almost finished, im more than 2/3 through i didnt expect to make progress so fast haha turns out i just needed to start it to get motivation (°ㅂ°)

Spoiler: oh my savage empire how lucky we are never to be moved by the words of a liar

Spoiler: the dark doesn't frighten me i chose to close my eyes it is mine

Spoiler: the night doesn't frighten me i chose to let it thrive it is mine

Spoiler: time has changed the metaphor now dust is not the origin of bone

Spoiler: little girl don't let them sell you any armor all your ribs are still your own

 

[Karmarossa]

finished it!! im happy with the result, especially considering i had been putting it off for like months now :))

Spoiler: oh my precious child how lucky you are

Spoiler: handed down a shield for your tender parts

Spoiler: the dark doesnt frighten me i chose to close my eyes it is mine

Spoiler: the night doesnt frighten me i chose to let it thrive it is mine

Spoiler: the dark doesnt frighten me i chose to close my eyes it is mine

kick his ass queen

Spoiler: the night doesnt frighten me i chose to let it thrive it is mine

aaaa she makes it back eventually to hisui/past sinnoh dw she's fine (^w^)b AND she grows along the way which is also great
yay yippee yay yippee (งᐛ)ว

 

[Karmarossa]

first we uma then we musume, LET'S UMAMUSUME!!!!

Spoiler: you know something has you on chokehold when you make ocs for it

 

[Karmarossa]

anyway i finished the refs for these ocs but im gonna post the little icons i did for their toyhouse pages :3
i try to do these type of things super fast in "small" resolution, just to check if i can recreate their designs semi-ok right after finishing them
i love them already teehee i love horseys

Spoiler: i have a thing for red/blue coded characters i just cant resist

it's funny because they had no reason to be umamusume i just felt like it one day lol, this all started when i thought "what if bloody mary and la llorona are the same type of ghost?" and ended up being "what if bloody mary and la llorona are in love with each other?"

Hello! Cozy place you got here! And those drawings! They are easy to the eye, I can't help but smile a little when seeing them!

You've mentioned about making an animatic in your first posts, right? It is a very interesting project, I liked the general idea! Still... Why not taking a little step further?

Perhaps you have a 3DS console? There are two apps that might aid you in producing a short animation! Flipnote Studio 3D is mostly cherished by everyone with easy to learn commands, a simple layout, multiple interchangeable speeds of foliage for each virtual layer... You can even change layers to boost a 3D perspective depending on what you want to emphasize in your movie! You can add somewhat 90 seconds of music, plus 4 sound effects to boost the immersion by using the microphone in console. What's more, the in built camera can take some pictures as well, Flipnote-fy it and you may even use it as some sort of instant background, if you want! It leaves hanging on the animation length, depending on how ambitious you are, though... But you can combine multiple flipnotes, to form one BIG flipnote!

The other app I recommend is Butterfly Inchworm Animation II.This one is amazing... Close to "professionally amazing". Huge colour pallete, in built stock of sound effects, plus an in built synthetizer to produce your own sounds, various brushes, personalized line effects, background effects, stamps, in real time painting while your animation plays... It has everything and a bit more. It is a dream coming true for a 3ds artist who wish to go even further beyond.
The downside however, is that the learning curve is very steep... It has so much to offer that you feel a bit overwhelmed... Still, there were even Disney animators that played around with this app and made their shorts with it!

Just small suggestions... Either way, I really like your art! Please continue! I'll be hoping for even more!

P.S.: FlipaClip is another great resource! Available for notebooks and smartphones!
