Turning moths 🦋 into WITCHES 🔮(CHARACTER DESIGN CHALLENGE) 

For some reason I imagine the lunar moth’s hat being a fully alive creature with a bunch of pointy legs that just cling to her head because the hat has a dog’s level of separation anxiety

“Pouches and potions for practical witching” sounds like the title of the book/chapter these characters are featured in.

ok. ok. hear me out here. luna's monster-like clothing can either: -transform into the illusion of a monster around her as an intimidation tactic -straight up turn her into a monster

I haven’t even gotten to the art yet, but that intro was so moving and powerful. Praying for you after that vicious moth attack 😩🙏🏻

Maybe the witches could be more of a neutral power! Not necessarily good or bad, maybe not as a whole but the witches choose what they represent when theyre powerful enough? Just the vibe I get from them

Keep Rosie, Selene for the lunar and Carmine for Scarlet And idk why but in my very high mind rn I imagine Selene and Carmine as a divorced couple that dislike eachother and are only drawn back together by their desire to teach their ward (found family) Rosie magic for whatever reason

I feel like the name 'Rouge' fits for Scarlet because it too is a red name and is an anagram for 'rogue' which fits into this particular character's architype!

I totally feel like Lunar and Scarlett are an enemies to lovers type thing - I could totally see Rosie as not having parents and stuff and having a whole parent/trap esc plot line at one point 💀 Just ya know ✨these are my parents now✨ vibes. I feel like it would be chaotically beautiful which is obviously what we’re all about here 💕 Hope anyone reading this has a great day/ night :))

THANK YOU FOR GIVING MOTHS THE LOVE THEY DESERVE. They are all so FUZZY

Watched like 2 of your videos while drawing today , about to watch another while drawing . THE GRIND NEVER STOPS !!!

lore for this world.... the witches collect remnants of the goddesses "light" which was left behind on earth when the gods separated from the wolrd and took on thier perfered forms and the knights are made to regulate the witches because some of them stray from the path of the gods and use the light fior devious things (gem villians)... or the gods light gives light to certain things on earth like rocks and gems and stuff so the gods created witches to regulate and help with the developement of the "enlightened" (things brought to life by god's light) because i imagine the enlightened dont just become full humaoids like maybe the gemstone enlightened started as rocks and then rocks with faces and then lil rocky golemns and then they slowly evolve into your designs and the witches jobs are to help with this evolution process by taking the enlightened as familiars for a breif time until they are fully formed then that would leave the knights to be protectors of the witches (who were only designed with magic in mind the gods didnt think about how they would protect them selves (of course they have offesive spells but are still vulnerable to attacks)) and the villians are enlightened who believe that they are the best or somethign and that only stones should me enlightened or that the witches are evil (i didnt include the other designs cause i have to go back and whatch those vids)

This has 100% got me down a rabbit-hole on ideas for my own characters in the most round about unrelated way so thank you for that unintentionally

I love the characters themselves (and the DESIGNS, omg), the whole mentors + pupil dynamic is SO GOOD!! I could totally see this partnership with luna and scarlet being hilarious and wholesome in an actual show of some sort. great work!!

Personally, Luna and Scarlet are married and they were taking a walk through the woods and found Rosie clumsily practicing magic and decided to teach her

12:49 I think you just came up with a name for your moth apprentice. Rosie seems to be like a perfect name for her :D

I enjoy this series very much. Even when you don’t like them you still are willing to post and share your process on each character. Really helps me with not worrying about the first design not looking the best for my characters. Getting it done is more important so you know how to improve it for later. Really enjoy your work. ♥️

Love the video !! I'm a green witch that loves moths so this definitely made me excited :-] Also maybe the name Sylvain for the Luna moth and Dahlia for the rosy maple?

This reminds me of the manga Witch Hat Atelier! It’s very mystical and has GORGEOUS artwork

I’m so ready for autumn and this was perfect! Love the witchy vibes! And moths!

With the Luna design I love the idea of the eyes on the birch aligning with the eyes on her outfit. I feel like she often watches people from afar, catching Scarlet and the Rosie in mischief

Looks have been served by both you and your characters. Praying for your speedy recovery after that vicious, and possibly radioactive, attack 🙏

As soon as I saw the Eddie Munson in your Pinterest board, I had to pause and giggle to myself. He has been living rent free in my brain, I’ve also been experiencing Eddie Munson brainrot. I’ve been a little obsessed with the Kas!theory and the fact that Klaus was also an inspiration for the scarlet moth character was awesome. He is one of my favourite umbrella academy characters. I loved the concept of this video and it just completely reminded of my character Hope who is a moth based character who is the elemental of Insouciance and the Sun (their label basically) and they manipulate a lot of lights-they basically hyperfixate on stuff like glitter and lanterns way too much which is hilarious alluding to the stuff that happens in my book. Name wise I think the name for the Rosy moth could be Acer which is the genus of the maples (trees and shrubs) The Luna moth could be Elara which is the name of one of Jupiter’s moons named after a princess in Greek mythology. I think you should stick with Scarlet for the name for the Scarlet moth cuz it fits tho.

I love the equality of both mentors having the plunging necklines.

What better book is there to read than the DVD of Spider-Man 2

Thanks for picking one of my suggestions! It meant alot to me and every episode i make suggestions usually. I love moths and this was a great idea, especially for witches. Luna: Freya, she is a nature goddess in norse mythology. She is very strong and even with luna’s burn out teacher vibe it suits her pretty well Rosie: Basil, just herb. Also wanted to make clarification pronounced bay-sil not baa-sil. Suits her well and she is a witch and witches make potions with stuff so herbs ya know? Scarlet: Silva, means literally just forest, and usually is a surname, but i thought it would fit him well.

Ok, but why do you look so much like your own art?! Love the vibes

I love the headcanon that the scarlett moth is name Scarlett and wants everyone to call him Scar ('cause he thinks it's badass). But everyone is just confused by the name change, so they continue to call him Scarlet.

I feel like Luna would be the open minded but still a little uneducated boomer and scarlet the gen z bsf that teaches her about different queer identities and helps her unlearn negative stereotypes. 😌

Rosy: Chrysi (after chrysanthemums) Luna: Fabasceae (a group of plants home to most nuts, also known as legumes) Scarlet: Rowan (Means little read-haired one, which considering he's a bit of a child at heart and has read hair fits him, but also refers to the tree.) Also, if you need some concepts as to how this amalgamation of concepts can be a story or world that the characters fit into, perhaps these characters are minor gods and goddesses. The elements would be like the head gods or divine nobility, and these moth characters could be minor gods that answer to Earth. Alongside the flower and tree characters. Maybe the sky ones would work for air and the gems could be a case by case basis (Eg Obsidian and Fire Opal being for fire, and Pearl for Water). And because the moths have relatively minor roles, they need to use plants for their spells rather than being able to cast them on command. This kind of makes them very technically intelligent, though a little lacking in the wisdom department.

You say these were rushed, but I think they’re all fantastic! I love the idea that each mentor represents a different facet of nature! Rosie may be my favorite simply for her excessive comfy vibes! ^w^💕

I love hearing how you tie ideas together to make cohesive concepts and designs, it always gets my creative juices flowing. Since both of the mentors kind of have to do with deception of prey, perhaps they’re teaching Rosie about illusion magic, or tricks of the light, as well. I think their link to plants could be really cool too considering that plants need light to live and grow. Maybe their magic and the magic system was created by the magical girl characters because of their connections to sky and therefore light. Loved this week’s video! 💗

MOTHS?? AND WITCHES?? THE TWO COOLEST THINGS???

i love love love LOVE your character design vídeos they are such a huge inspiration

You have inspired me to get back into making art😭🫶🏽

I imagine the trio’s main antagonist to be a spooky Death’s head hawkmoth lol

i love all your videos so much, you've very quickly become my favourite artist

Found family trope, huh? Anyway name suggestions!!: Luna moth: Hecate (Greek goddess of magic and witchcraft) Rosy Maple moth: Rosalie (because it has the word Rose in it (-:) Scarlet Wasp moth: Salem (as in the town in Massachusetts known for the witch trials in the late 1600’s)

Thought Kira did a great job with balancing colours within each design, & pulling on their trees for the cool staffs! Would've loved to see all 3 characters be male or nonbinary (inc. the Luna in their magnificent gown!) just to really challenge some of those very outdated gender stereotypes around who can wear pink, dresses etc....?

Love the names Rosie, Luna, and Scarlett for this crew. Fab designs and backstory. One commenter suggested the hat is nervous and has separation anxiety; maybe that gets better as Luna's own anxiety and confidence improve? You said you're not a writer, but you are an excellent storyteller in your character design videos, and you write a good script!

Hear me out, an idea for the next character design, phobias/fears turned into village girls or some cool fantasy monsters or something (At this point I don’t know anymore)

your stories continuously start to sound like my maladaptive daydreams

These character sound like they should be in a sitcom. Their dynamic just seems so perfect and I want an animated TV show where I can watch their antics. As for names- Rosie: I think she really needs a short, spunky name and I've already seen lots of adorable contributions in the comments but I would like to add Nuri. It means "my light" or "my fire" and I think both her color scheme and the way she brings the other two together really makes this a cute fit Luna: This is a bit dark but I love the name Mavka for her. In Ukranian folklore, a mavka is the spirit of a dead girl/woman who died an unnatural or premature death who often has long hair and leads young men into the forest before k1lling them. It just felt very spooky and fitting The dude who's moth name escapes me: Orion. I have no explanation for this choice. I just like it. Thank you for all your wonderful art! It's a great pick me up at the end of the week.

Rosy Maple Moth: Ruby (The scientific name is Dryocampa rubicunda, so... yes) Luna Moth: Morena (The scientific name is Actias luna, Actias in Latin means behavior, which is written as "Mores") Scarlet-Bodied Wasp Moth: Harrison (Harry for the friends. Harrison Gray Dyar Jr he was the dude who discovered this moth, or something like that) Sorry, I'm not good at naming

Hear me out For the next character design challenge... Chess Pieces Queen as a Victorian goddess King as Himbo with glasses And Knight as a buff non binary angst ridden mess whose in love with the queen whos in a arranged marriage with the king

name concepts rosy: tina, rosalia, margaret, powder (yes it’s inspired by arcane) luna: rowanda, essence, patunia, Delilah scarlet: margo, scar, buck

you should do buterfile people that are royalty ,you know , a MONARCHY

Potential Character Names: Luna Moth - Celeste, Selene Rosie Moth - Rose (lol), Maple Scarlet Moth - Wicke, Rhett

Your art is always so pretttyyyyyy im so obsessed with how intricate your artstyle its so scrumptious fjhsgjdfjsgd 💞💕💞💖💖

"...or just get thirsty," (PricklyAlpaca 6:55)

Alright, consider this.... deep sea fish as characters. Anti-heros? Rebel leaders? Monsters? Dunno what they should be but deep sea fish feel like a treasure trove of ideas. Edit: PIRATES. DEEP SEA FISH AS PIRATES. I wrote "treasure" and my brain went "now hold on a minute."

I love how you gradually became a pile of leaves throughout the...what? Two years I've been watching you?

Scarlet- Bastian (just a German version of Sebastian I just thought it seemed kinda fitting) Luna- Fleur (flower)/ Gwenith (happiness, it also reminds me of a motherly/ caring person) I honestly love Rosie, I think it fits her (and all of the original names too)

Moth! Names! Ok ok ok so: For scarlet: Fraser (it means grower of strawberries and I just. Like that. Garden nerd oml) but also maybe Alastair cus I mean cmon that is a leather jacket women woo-er name. Both are Scottish cus.. Hair is Red. I can also see Luna saying both in an exasperated tone, which,, yes please Rosie feels like an alysa or like a Beue. I could also see just another flower name (cus irony haha) like Lily or Poppy or something. For the lolz. Lunar is giving me Ruth vibes, but could also maybe be Clara?? Or Bernadette maybe?? Idk like I’m feeling an older name but one that’s not like granny feeling, & kinda strongish. Gah this one’s hard. All that being said these 3 100% just use nicknames for each other, save for maybe Luna. Like I feel both of the mentor moths just call the little one Rosie, & I can see scarlet calling Luna some teasing flirty name or something, which Luna “hates” y know y know ?? I’m rambling. Hope u like these!

I haven't tried suggesting names before but here were my ideas 1. Rosanne or Rosanna (keeping the nickname 'Rosie' probably ahdjsj 2. Selene 3. Sage or maybe Hugo?

Iam so happy it is august because i very much love the halloween creepy seasons and I AM SO PUMPED MAN also i love how you coloured these I think its very pretty

ok so random name suggestions for future characters May, Evelyn, and Rory

Babe wake up, Kira posted!!! (also I love your intros so much!!)

Can you do planets as characters next, anyway Meme school meme school meme school meme school meme school meme school

I just watched your most recent moth witch video and loved it so much I had to hunt down this older one and see the original moth witches. I do like the newer ones a little more but these designs are so cool. Especially Scarlet he's so flipping hot! Definitely think guys in corsets should be a thing again. Luna's dress pintrest board was so on point, I have all those on my own favs pintrest board. Her dress is gorgeous! p.s. both Scarlet and Atlas are soo hot! You definitely do awesome at male designs too!

I'd also love to see you come back to these characters some day. It'd be funny if Scarlet was Rosie's actual Uncle, which is one of the reasons he butts heads with Luna, but they both have her best interests at heart and they're genuinely trying to help her grow as a witch and a person. I'd also love to see more moths! Edit: OR other insects?! Dun DUN Duuuun... Maybe it's a slice of life comedy overall so no true villains, just some friends and rivals? Either way, I love your designs! You put a lot of thought into them and it shows. :D

Moths scare me so fucking much,. My number 1 fear also scarlet look amazinggggg let's name him Zephrine (zef-rin)

for the scarlet moth everything you are describing about him reminds of the uncle from Wizards of Waverly Place if anyone remembers that

Hear me out For the next character design challenge... Chess Pieces Queen as a Victorian goddess King as Himbo And Knight as a buff non binary angst ridden mess whose in love with the queen whos in a arranged marriage with the king

Are we sure Kira isn't going to pull a Peter Parker and become Mothman or something after that harrowing encounter???

For some names I think for the rosey moth Paloma Luna moth Hecate And the scarlet moth Vermillion love your art and your sketch book videos help me out alot👽

Scarlett's plant is Hemp? Hehehehe he definitely smokes weed like Gandalf does

cursed comment incoming but i am coming here from the other moths to witches video and i am nominating rocky dramatic friendship with the vampiric moth witch lad and rosy moth lass here.

I don't know why but he's definitely dating Percy's older brother also there's a shade of red called Rosso Corsa so maybe Rosso could be a cute name?

I absolutely LOVE THEM they’re SO PRETTTYYYT

i headcanon that rosie will try to impress luna and scarlet by finding firebugs but gets distracted and just wanders around and her teachers just panic and blame eachother for losing the child

Oh hO HO HO I AM EXCITED FOR THIS ONE FELLAS Also, cottage cheese lesbians~

Why do I feel like the two mentors had like a past love life and that they would always flirt by saying that they are the better mentor to rose, they had a complicated past.

the name Jolene fits the Luna moth in my opinion it means pretty in French which I mean she's a very pretty character it also means god will increase which in my mind comes to the idea that she will increase the number of witches in the world

Maybe Sage, Misty or Sylvie could suit the lunar moth. I love all of these characters xx

Did you no the lunar moth doesnt have a mouth? It lives for a week to bread, then die. They have very short lives lmao Haha bread

Runa! For rosy maple it has such an optimistic vibe and rhymes with Luna like one of their mentors and starts with R like red like the Scarlett Wasp moth

Scarlet moth man is the type to reward students who get 100% on tests with weed

I think Rosy is already perfect for the maple moth, but I’m feeling kinda Guinevere for the Luna moth?

Name the emo one jullian cuz king Jullian and it’s funny

The STUfF u can do r literally some of my fave art videos

I really love your videos! I'm trying to figure out my own style and what I enjoy drawing because I've spent so long doing fanart, seeing your original designs really inspire me ☺️

THIS IS AMAZING. I LOVE MOTHS SO MUCH, I LOVE WITCHES SO MUCH, SO THIS IS. AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE???.. I LOVE YOU AJDJSJSDGFHEWKSKCJS

I love all of these so much! And I’d like to throw my hat into the ring for the name ideas Maybe Stella/Stellaria for the Luna moth character? It sounds celestial but Stellaria is also the name of a plant- better known as chickweed (the plant itself somewhat fits their coloring too)

AAAAAAAAAAA yo best freaking concept- thx for bingo back the spooky spirit we’ve all needed for months😌😌😌😌….also again the stunts at the intro 👏👏👏👏👏 also also can we admire how pretty she is- like gorge girlie

Luna scarlet and rosy is pretty good names-

The design looks ✨ chef kiss ✨ as always! I actually have a Rosey maple moth tattoo, so it was a pleasant surprise~

Halloweeny vibes in August? What did we do to be granted such a gift? Maximalism on these designs is lovely and I adore how much variance you put into all their witchy items (syrup included). We leaves thank you. I hope you were able to finish re-reading Spiderman 2 and that it was as good as you remember!

I swear your channel is the most motivating, inspiring channel-

scarlet moth gives sirius black vibes

Your very impressive

Men in long boots is an underrated look

Rosy Maple Moth: Margo, Maggie, Mabel Luna Moth: Lumine, Larissa Scarlet Bodied Hawk Moth: Carmine, Radley, Jasper

do we have permission to cosplay these characters?? i'm a trans man and Scarlet has sparked many good good gender feelings, i would love to try to make that costume!! absolutely no worries if you'd rather we not tho, the designs are fantastic either way!!

Your entire being rejuvenates my soul

Ok! Here are my name ideas For Rosy, I'd name her Winslow For Luna, I'd name her Yvette And for Scarlet, I'd name him Enki

I’m obsessed! I came across your channel few days ago and I can’t stop watching!!! Beautiful work!

YASSS!!!! Good job on these, please stick with Rosie, Luna, and Scarlett (Scarlet?) they so good!!!

For the story idfk i forgot their names already so lets come up with nick names pinky greeny and hottie ;) I'm kidding unless.. NAW okay let's say pinky was bored and was playing with some witchy stuff trying to learn from her father's note book before he disappeared in some tragic way and was trying to do an easy spell outside while drinking maple syrup and screwed up...- THEN pinky teleports to greeny and hottie having breakfast scare the heck out of them so she's like at one point I wanna be a witch! like my father was! to bad i screwed up a beginner spell :"( so they make it their mission to get her home at first greeny is like hell naw i'm not gonna trust this kid who poofs outta nowhere but loveable hottie convinces greeny so on this and ends up finding pinky's father as well as finding what pinky's father was looking for idk a name yet for it but on their way back home the village is empty no one to be found until they see a forest beast who's gone corrupt and has sucked everyones soul and they have to go to the underworld and fight this beast so what i'm thinking for the underworld like toliet bound haneko kun or just a preety other worldly forest *back to topic* and they have to chase the beast through out different levels in the underworld and like some people who are dead help like from hotties clan so everyone is out escept pinky and she's about to be eatened she starts crying and that awakes the unamed object that turns into some bird phenixo or ostrige huminoid that saves everyone and the beast pukes all the souls but the fight isn't over

scarlet moth: oriana which means sunrise luna moth: kendra which means wise leader ruby moth: zeke means god strangth

Maggie for Rosie, Agatha for Luna, and William for Scarlet. Love your videos btw ❤
