Draw Your Crew- PseudoDragon

Posted Dec 28, 2015, 7:20:46 AM UTC

The did a "Draw your crew" meme of my OCs, and I honestly didn't think I'd make it to a final, coloured version of the picture with energy to spare but here I am :)

I changed a lot of things from the sketch cause that was based heavily off the reference, a shot from the anime, Gurren Lagann, and got the characters to be themselves a little :) It's been fun drawing a silly picture TuT

Left to Right- Aphra, Julia Jones, Alex Daniels, Athena (top), Darren Jones, Bryan Dragon, and Pandora on the side holding Equity.

Funny and very well drawn pic. It must have taken a lot of time.

  Well... the poses and colour was mostly given to me by the reference, but there's a lot of characters in the picture so assembling it all together still took a long time. Thank you though I really enjoyed the whole process of making it. Their goofy poses and expressions were super fun <3

  Thank you! The draw your crew meme was a very fun challenge to do! I modified the poses a little to suit the character's personalities more, but it was really fun to goof out with art TuT I've been doing a lot of serious art ideas lately, and it started to make art a little un-fun. Hopefully this helped me get out of my rut ^^;

I've seen this meme floating around for a while, never did attempt it with my OC's.

  The draw your crew one? I saw a heap of them on Tumblr and loved them, but with my health being all weird I haven't been doing much art, and hoped this would help crank the handle as such. IT was really fun. You should give it a go if it's of interest to you There's lots of different base images you can try too <3

  I may do it at some point. Most my OCs that are established are out of stories I wrote back in highschool and I tossed all those away.

  Most of my OCs are rehashs of characters I made as a teenager, actually. I don't have many OCs that I made in my 20s+. Even Pandora, the dark skinned girl on the right, my most recent OC is actually a complete rebuild of an old OC of mine called Cassandra, where the only thing she kept was her title. I updated her appearance to match her father and family, her name cause Cassandra is too similar to Alexander (The main character's name), and her role in the story of being the future Queen. Most of my OCs are getting developed like that- keeping 1 or two things I like, then restructuring the rest. Perhaps it can be a project for you if you're keen to bring them back

  I would, but since I tossed all the stores I don't remember much about them and I have some new ones I am working out. And the few I have worked out are well, kind of sitting back watching me with murder.

  You can always start from scratch Or use fandom characters for the memes

  Are you kidding me YES XD Nothing stopping them from doing the poses, but being unhappy about it XD Nothing stopping you from taking artistic liberties with the picture No one is going to judge you if it's not exactly the same. The main goal is the challenge to replicate the feel of the original image If I did people that didn't want to do the pose, I'd just give them a reason to be there so they're still in character

  I think I will plan this as something to do. I think it would be so worth it now.

  If you don't finish ideas, there is the consideration of just stopping the idea and coming back later and reusing the idea in a way that does inspire you. It's better to draw 10 ideas, and only finish 5 than it is to only draw 5 ideas, and be forced to finish all of them, like them or not. I found that my ideas got better if I allowed myself to not want to progress a picture further Sometimes the first idea isn't the one that is the best.

  True. I am getting better at finishing things, but there are still some that sit around. I have a lot of paintings sitting around unfinished due I don't have the space to finish them.

I like their expressions. Looks like something from an anime art book!
