I personally love the butterfly lamp character! It's a shame you aren't satisfied with her but I respect that 💜 I think her skirts look almost like a big blue bell or like a waterfall, and adds to her mysticality and nature vibes in their own way :)
Owl-bert is indeed a very esteemed lad, and the skeleton-mushroom witch makes my too-much Jenna Marbles brain very happy. Honestly all of these designs are very noice and really inspirational, love the vid❤️
I would die for Owlbert without hesitation. Not an artist and thus would not be the ideal adopted parent of any of your designs, but I would still 100% buy one if you wanted to put them up for adoption!
please dont stop this series--its SO inspiring and it really shows off your skills. its also really nice to see how you as an individual creatively interpret these images !! youre amazing :D
im so in love with the webkinz family duo (i havent even made it past the first character design) headcanon time!! raccoon's mom/other family members is like not really into all that punk band stuff and its just her and her dad raccoon and lion dad are in a band together along with a few of raccoons punk friends and they think her dad is the coolest ever
I absolutely love Owl-Bert- I'd love to see him as a funky side character in some TV-show, all of his owl heads having slightly different personalities, lol. Also the skeleton-mushroom witch is SO PRETTY.
Now all we need is an episode of JUST victorian era historical fashion random character designs! I love all of these designs! Owl-bert is most definitely a colorful lad in more ways than one!
You should absolutely do the adopt thing for them! Not only will others have the chance to have/draw them a lot but you'd get compensated for all the time put into these. I think a lot of people (including me!) would love to own one of your designs.
Seeing as how Owl- bert is a collective and you were so kind as to provide them with color-coded floppy hats, I propose they should be known as Tudor Mutant Artistic Owls, sung to the cadence of TMNT of course😂😂😂
I actually like the use of red in the rose queen’s design because it helps to break up the uninterrupted sea of gold as well as add a secondary color to the design
everyone with daddy issues/ family issues in general sobbing in the first 5 minutes at the idea of a fluffy alt family band where the dad and daughter have matching aesthetics
If you made prints of this series (image-based buddies) of characters, I would definitely be interested in those! Especially the mushroom skele-zombie witch, I love her design 🍄✨🩻
You should make a series turning each care bear character into a member of this deranged rollerblade skateboard scooter gang CUZ I WOUDL LOVE TO SEE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I feel kinda bad for drawing these ONCE and then never coming back to them again." Oh how I feel that!!! That is always holding me back from just drawing ... and it's horrible really D: Glorious art though, really love it. Also the butterfly lamp skirt. I feel like the simplicity really brings out the details in the corset.
Ok, where has your art been all my life? XD Thank you for being you and doing what you do. I'm in a point in my life where I'm stuck in my art and figuring out who I am if that makes sense, so seeing you just.... being you is inspiring. The art itself, just YES. Owl-bert needs a fan club and as for the butterfly chandelier, the design is more solid than you think it is if you put in the context of "This is what she HAS to wear to do things for the royal family as proper regalia, but she only wears it for an hour. " thing. That would HAVE to be over the top and have some pointless aspects. I agree that you should do adopts or something, your designs are so fun! I was even wondering if you did do that (I just found your page) and then you mentioned it at the end.
Owlbert is such a dapper lad im sure he comes from a long line of famous painters. I also really like the mushroom skeleton witch, very pretty, i feel like she would dance her skirt reminds me of “dress/skirt go spiiiiiinnnn” if you get what i mean
I like the mental image of the witch girl plucking mushrooms off of herself to use in potions she is making to cure illnesses because she fell victim to one herself.
Before i watched the video i saw Owl-bert in the commentsand my first thought was OHHHHH OWL HOUSEEEE, thb, he looks like a more distinguished, classified, renaissance, version of Hooty in my nightmares. I love it.
With the witch mushrooms, I'd love to see different mushrooms turned into characters. There's some wild looking ones out there. For the butterfly chandelier, what about turning the skirt into super thin pants to mimic the chain that holds the chandelier?
Tip for next time you draw an owl persona, most(if not all?) owls have feathers that go all or most of the way down their legs! Fun video though, I liked the designs as always
OK idea for your next project! how about a cordyceps fungus dress where it's spreading across the dress or you can make it a skirt or a jacket! anyway there are a lot of possibilities and its an excuse to watch the Last Of us more and look at fan art for ideas!
I get a white queen and queen of hearts vibes from the butterfly mage and the rose queen. I headcannon that they don’t get along and rule opposite ends of an enchanted forest, with the butterfly mage being the more tolerable and friendly one to outsiders. The rose queen seems more stricter but is still kind to her people. I headcannon the skeleton witch and the butterfly mage are sisters and that when the skeleton witch died, the rose queen brought her back to life and to repay her, the skeleton witch works as the rose queen’s royal advisor. The butterfly mage doesn’t realize that her sister has come back to life and the skeleton witch’s memories are a bit scrambled do to be resurrected so they haven’t reunited yet, but I like to imagine this huge climatic scene where they see each other for the first time and there’s a glimmer of recognition in their eyes and they run to hug each other. I also can see Owlbert working in the court of the butterfly mage’s
when you said owlbert comes from a long line of artists i immediately imagined that each of the owls was the core owlbert from each generation. like, the owlbert that pilots the body doesn't die, he justs moves to the back of the owlbert so the new core owlbert can be born. carrying 5 generations of owlberts & their wisdom at all times
While i share your appreciative love with the Butterfly mage, the fantasy royal cort mage is such a pretty aesthetic that would make a great episode. Same with the derby carebear girl. There are some fun untapped episodes topics in this episode that we can make into full episodes. -Royal Academic Cort Mage -deranged Post apocalypse driver
AAAAAAAHHH This is AMAZING!!! Sent some pics of my own and hope you like them! I am OBSESSED with pink fluffy rock dad! It makes me think of how my father had me listening to Nickelback at the age of 2... and I still have a mask he got me during Covid with skulls covering it alongside glitter and hot pink bows... The owls in a trenchcoat has more chivalry and grace than any man I've ever met in the modern era~
LOVE this series. Also as soon as I saw the sketch of the owls I was like, "that kinda looks like the multibear from gravity falls" and than you say that and I am like OMG. Also for some reason getting Cuddle Team Leader vibes from fortnight from the care bear. Also adopts or auctions would be amazing!
I feel like slasher roller derby carebare would fit into the Danger Days universe soo well, her and Show Pony would either be besties or fight to the death
Awesome designs, Alpaca. I like the queen and owl Bert designs. You must consider making constume designs for each. I am so curious how they would look in real life. Mind-blowing 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
have a bunch of pictures to draw from! I got the solution. Take qualities from different photos and combine them into one character design. I call this Pinterest roulette. Usually I randomly scroll through my art inspiration board and then where ever I land I take bits and pieces from the pictures. Like the hair style from one. The pose of the character from another and the color scheme from another, etc. Really helps to pin point what you like and push yourself. I don’t know how it would work with the inspiration pics you have currently. Maybe combine your past characters design into the next generation character idk
The whole time you were drawing the carebear killer I was thinking “Mannnnn I wish I could buy this for my niece!” Also I really like the stream of consciousness voice overs!
I feel like most of these could be in the same universe from all of the videos there is always something that could be in the same universe as something else and then other ones from different videos that could go into a same story as the other videos. Also the rose Queen is a antagonist; antagonist does not mean villain it means obstacle.
i would love to own the care bear roller derby gang girl the idea of a girl gang that’s cutsie but dangerous is so cool!! i love all the other designs good job!! also owlbert gives me over the garden wall vibes
The rose queen is gorgeous! In real fashion history, the renaissance -> tudor -> elizabethan style development is pretty firmly increasingly conical and wide-hip for women and increasingly short and square for men. (for nobility and merchants at least.) Before that it would've been long and flowing (somewhat form-fitting) for everyone. The 'masculine' tudor silhouette in the upper body combined with the long robe is gorgeous though!
zombie witch is great! mushrooms would def take over the body if given the chance barn owls are great, a bit creepy since in some cultures they signify a death is going to happen ooh want the flower bodice! 23:17
The first character (pink emo dad) design reminds me of Glen the Rock’nRoll dad from Dungeons&Daddies (a very good and funny dnd actual play podcast, would recommend), but this dad looks more wholesome 💕 And the last character (roller derby slasher girl) would fit perfectly into the world of Daybreak! An comedic teen apocalypse serie which was sadly canceled after one season, but definitely still worth a watch! Love the designs!!
Oh my god yes yes yes pleeeeease adopt out the designs you don't want/won't use, that would be amazing. For money or as community events, either way I think it's a great idea! I adore your designs so much, and I'm pretty sure everyone else following you does too haha, so getting to adopt one of them would be so so cool!!!
I really really need mushroom zombie witch, rose queen, owl nobleman, and butterfly priestess all in an epic high fantasy visually stunning psychedelic mini series together
i just woke up from a 3h power nap and this video makes me very happy:3 the dad character is literally the best thing ever and pls be my dad, good sir. the skeleton witch looks so fckn awesome, i still can't get over it! i love all the designs though i get why u struggled with the butterfly design. there are so many colors and just so much going on in general but tbh i still love the ideas u put into the design and her general look!:) god, my brain is not up to speed yet lol, i need a snack
The only name I can think of for the necromancer witch is Marshall (as a last name, but it could be a first name if you want), idk why since there’s not much of a swamp thing going on with the design, I just like the name. Also, a group of owls is formally called a “parliament”, so the distinguished design fits that very well.
I wish I could have a crumble of your art block since mine got out of hand and I physically feel sick when drawing. Never get to my stage, please, do art so I could feel happy for such an awesome artist as you. You are going places with such creativity!
OK SO my favourite DnD RU-vidr, Pointy Hat, is doing a series where he makes liches of different classes, and your undead forest witch reminds me so much of druid lich? Keeping herself alive forever via the mushrooms??
Personal headcanon that the Webkinz lion dad’s mustache isn’t naturally white with dark spots, and he dyed it like that when his Webkinz raccoon daughter’s friend said he looked like a lion
I think these all came out really cool looking!!! As for adoptables, I think that’d be a neat idea! I’ve been eyeing the “steampunk whale mobile” dude for a hot minute now, so I’ll try to snatch him up as soon as you put them out lol.
Thank you sooo much for that illustration of the Mushroom Witch! She has helped me fill an inspirational gap I had about something I wanted to write. I hope you don't mind that I'm using your illustration as the inspiration for my own kind of forest witch? She looks different in what I'm writing but the general thought is the same... I love all your illustrations and costume/clothes by the way! xxx
The stain glass butterfly one was my favorite, the braids were STUNNING!!!!! ❤❤❤ Also I have to give you praise for how well you do ethnic features, it really shows how much of a well rounded artist you are 😊.
Your so creative! All your characters turn out really cool. I was thinking of ways you could switch up character types, and maybe use a D&D manual of character types and blindly pick one to assign to each of your inspirations. 😊
