#visdev #characterdesign #visualdevelopment
A collection of character art for a pink-haired victorian vampire. There are turnarounds for her dress with a bat accessory on her bustle, her underskirts and corset to achieve the bustle shape, and a progression of the character from meek victorian woman shaded by her parasol to an overgrown, wild vampire with wings and claws. There are also designs for victorian chairs on this page. A sheet of character artwork, featuring a pink-haired victorian vampire and her blue-haired human lover. There are dress designs, hair options, expressions for the vampire, and a fully-rendered piece of the vampire sitting at a vanity drinking tea. In the reflection, the vampire looks at the viewer with a glowing red eye. A sheet of various visual development art pieces. There's a turnaround for a simple character design of a girl with long blonde hair and a blue shirt; below her is a full illustration of Batman stalking the halls of Arkham Asylum, with Robin discreetly following behind in the vents; next to the Arkham scene is a set design for a space ship's quarters, involving bunks in a metallic room; finally, there is a painting of an industrial crane cast in red light, and a stylized painting of an outdoor space heater. A collection of production art from a kids sci-fi project. There are expressions for the blonde human and a blue alien girl, prop callouts for a slick white briefcase with a disembodied alien hand in it, a hoverbike, and character interactions between the alien and the human.

Some victorian gentlemen from imagination, playing with shapes and facial hair.
#characterdesign
Ink sketches of stylized men's heads and hairstyles. They all have a vaguely historical air about them, with full mustaches and high collars and delicate spectacles.

Mircalla and the Vanity

#visdev #characterdesign
A digital illustration of a woman with pink hair in a maroon Victorian dress sitting at a vanity, drinking tea. The woman in front of the mirror has her eyes closed as she sips her drink, but in her reflection, the woman is cast in blue shadow and she peers at the viewer, her eye glowing hot pink.

Carmilla and Laura daytime and under garment explorations; Carmilla has later Victorian styles to highlight her newness and the fresh opportunities she represents to the very sheltered, lonely Laura.
#carmilla #visdev #characterdesign #costumedesign #victorian #historicalfantasy
Multiple combinations of a woman with pink hair and a black or magenta outfit, stylized similarly to a late Victorian travelling suit. Combinations of a woman with blue hair and a teal color palette. She has an older Victorian dress style, with wide circle skirts. The pink woman again, this time with different corset and petticoat and bustle options.

Evil Residents in my sketchbook #sketch #artsky #residentevil
Sketch of a man and woman in wetsuits and tactical garb. Sketches of a man's head at different angles, with different expressions. Sketches of people. A woman with short hair, baggy pants, and a pistol; a buff man in a cropped shirt and thick pants tucked into boots, and a slimmer man with a classic 90s boyband haircut fussing with something in his undrawn hands. Sketches of a woman in a turtleneck dress with a tactical vest, and a rougher, more stylized sketch of a man in the same outfit.

The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy At All but they're a cringe booktok ice skater x hockey player trope #wlw #sapphic #tgswiiwagaa #thegreenyuri #sketch
Image of a sketchbook page featuring two young women smiling at each other. One has long, luscious hair and is wearing an ice skating performance dress and dancing skates. The other is in full hockey garb, sans helmet, revealing her messy hair and tired eyes. They're smiling at each other as if passing each other on the rink. They're drawn in red pencil, inked with black ink, and given lime green accents on certain details like the dress, the hockey shorts, and the hockey uniform logo.

#visdev #conceptart
Concept designs - a sci-fi set design and a beat up heating lamp. Character design - iterations of a pastel pink haired woman with bat motifs in her simplified Victorian garb. Character design - a modern character with a blue shirt, long blond hair, and black glasses, next to a turn-around of her at each angle. Plus some character sketches of her and a spy man underneath the turn-around. Character and prop design - a compilation of a sci-fi sample case (with a disembodied grey alien hand kept safely inside), expressions for a blue alien gal, a black and white sketch of the alien gal and a human gal zooming by on a space motorcycle, and a painting of the blue alien gal and the human gal laying in the grass and looking up at the sky. They are lit by a pink light coming from off-canvas.

Rebecca and Claire interacted for like 3 minutes in Death Island so.... What if they were butch4butch....... #sapphic #re #wlw #residentevil
A sketch of two women standing at a gas pump. One pulls her shirt up to rub away the sweat on her face, musing about the broken AC and gas prices. The other woman is leaning against the car with a hand in her pocket, but she's blushing profusely as she eyes up the first woman's toned body. Both women are in durable jeans and simple tank tops, with work boots and simple hairstyles.
