Description
12.14.12 8:02 AM ESTYup, update 29.
Anyways, new conflicts, new color scheme. I believe this however is the one. I should have done this a long time ago. Took her green fur color darkened it, then just used whatever's left. Works out better this way and best of all, no conflicts. Yay.
The only thing I'd probably change is probably color order as the ivory is a bit too over powering so probably will fix that sometime. I just wanted to do this now while the idea was fresh.
Also prepare for another update, but on her bottom ref part, it's getting funky looking now to the top image.
----------------------------------------
12.11.12 9:04 AM EST
-Bio updates.
( Off note, did dA even update you guys on ANY of the changes I've been doing? The new submit thing glitches when I try to select "Notify your devwatchers".. and it's actually staying for once.. If it has been, sorry for spamming that. ;o; )
-----------------------------------------
12.08.12 5:04 AM EST
-Simplified her spots/markings.
-Fixed coloring and drawing errors/things I forgot.
Possibly changing her eye color to yellow to simplify her design and cause it kinda sticks out.. too much. But I like her eyes color. Arg.
Edit: 8:22 PM EST
Her eye color was changed to yellow.
------------------------------------------
12.06.12 8:31 PM EST
I've been trying to update this for a week now. Damn internet, jeez.
-Updated her to her current color scheme.
-Fixed some errors that bugged me.
-Replaced main image with that one drawing I did before.
-Updated some info in bio and stuff.
-Put back watermarks that I forgot to put on last time. Derp.
(Edit: 8:35 PM EST: Made the watermark less visible though. )
---------------------------------------
11.17.12 6:07 AM EST
Will be redrawing the main image since it bothers me lol.
Other than that no further changes unless I notice my anatomy is stupid or something. xD
---------------------------------------
04.12.12 5:28 PM GMT EST
-Fixed some issues with her bio and stuff.
----------------------------------------
04.05.12 12:35 PM GMT EST
-Fixed some more inconsistencies. ( EDIT 2:32 PM: Fixed some more. )
-Added water mark again after forgetting it again.
-----------------------------------
3.31.12 11:13 AM GMT EST
-Fixed some inconsistencies again.
-Added sleeves to shirt since I forgot to do so.
-Fixed some coloring issues.
Nothing to be updated about yet.
This is all I'll do for today, my arm is sore otl lol.
-----------------------------------
03/27/12 7:39 AM GMT EST
-Replaced dark green with the ivory color.
-Simplified boot design.
-Fixed more inconsistencies.
-Used bottom images for the clothing chart until I can create a better one.
I think I'm set for another few months, hopefully, I don't come up with another simplification of her design anyways. ( Sonic characters are meant to be simple after all.. something I lack. )
Now I can go to RQs and ATs after months of delay, oi.
--------------------------------------
03/21/12 10:57 AM GMT EST
Oh yeah, you guys probably thought I was done for awhile. NOPE.
I thought I was set for a few months but then new things bothered me. xD
-Replaced main image.. again. ( This drawing is not posted to dA and was colored on the ref itself. )
-Changed the brown to green since I just didn't like the brown for some reason and the green fits better to my eyes. ( You may not even notice it as they are on the same darkness and saturation level, just it's green. )
-Fixed inconsistencies in her turn chart, her hair mostly, jeez.
-Typo, and word choice fixes. ( One was meant to be like that but then I thought I might as well use proper English on a ref. )
-Cleaned up line art in turn chart.
-Personality info added.
-Pupil changed to what Faye's pupils are since Taioz's pupils were too damn difficult to draw after awhile. D|
-Line that connected head to muzzle removed since the marking and muzzle were the same color. Seemed useless and distracting to be there.
I'm still considering to replace the clothed turn chart. It's just so lifeless. The back is fine but the other two, especially the side view, are weird looking.
I tried fixing them but lol no luck.
Edit: Ugh, colors are wrong. PS why do you do this to me. :/
They're darker than they really are... xDD
Even her green is.. it was a dull green too.. :/
And if you're wondering, the top drawing is slanted because I drew it while being slanted. I've been doing that recently, Bad posture hitting me. So yeah, don't ask lol.
Edit 2: Made main image lighter. Painting layer was too dark apparently.
--------------------------------------
03/14/12 6:56 AM GMT EST
I still don't like the clothed view chart. I will redo them soon. They look weird to the naked ones. :/
-------------------------------------
02/21/12 3:54 PM GMT EST
-Fixed a bunch of errors.
-Colored white areas that I didn't cover/erased any white areas that were there for no reason.
-Added blood color, inner mouth colors, life state colors etc.
-Colored the lines in the turn chart all red unlike before.
-Fixed typos
-Added old lost-now-found watermark to images
Yep. More to come as I notice more errors. And may replace some images.
---------------------------------
02/19/12 12:16 AM GMT EST
-Made ref cleaner with the colors, including the color picking area.
-Spread out the other images in the middle.
-Cleaned up some oddities with the white fade effects looking odd.
-Colored areas that I didn't fully color.
-Added more info on bio.
------------------------------
02/18/12 12:00 AM GMT EST
-Replace main image with the updated cleaner coloring image.
-Noticed I originally named the planet Lupis and not Jupis. So it was changed.
-----------------------------
02/13/12 GMT EST 8:31 AM
-Replaced the turn chart.
-Made all text into Sonic style text/readable.
-Still have yet to fix the images in the middle to spread out more.
Yep, I didn't sleep last night to finish all this. And in turn.. missed school. Now I can sleep.. I really need to learn how to control my drawing times. Once my brain starts it doesn't really stop.. >>
I couldn't get it to stop at all. all I wanted to do is fix this. And yet I will end up redoing certain parts of the turn chart. You'll notice a bit of a change in the drawings in a few. Mostly because they were done another day. Sometimes I draw terrible other days it's better.
I hate that.
And excuse the typos if any. I noticed one but was too tired to look for any others.
I'm gonna go take a nap or something.. D|
My back is hurting like crazy.
-------------------------------
02/10/12 GMT EST 10:21 PM
-In the process of replacing main image.
-Redoing her turn chart in newer Sonic style/improved drawings.
Edit: GMT EST 2:49 AM:
-Updated main image.
Still working on turn chart, frustrated with side view. ( I suck at side/profile views. Annoying little shits they are. xD )
------------------------------
12/17/11 GMT EST 7:18 PM
-Updated eyes.
-Added new markings on her forehead.
-Fixed errors in drawing ( there were plenty. )
-And I lined the spots she had since they had no line around them like the newer drawings had so it looked weird.
I will be replacing the main image soon, possibly in a few months when the drawing will be too horrible for me to bear. For now it's ok.
This should be the last update until I replace the first image.
----------------------------
12/11/11 GMT EST 10 PM
Added some extra info on her. <3
-----------------------------
11/19/11 GMT EST 1:10 PM
After working on this for a few days I finally finished the ref and most of her design and etc is finished.
-fixed color mistakes on main image. ( Soon to replace image as well. )
-Added info on her accessories on picture.
-Added side,front,back views of bother her fur pattern and her clothes.
-Added info on her ears, hair, tail, etc.
I went overboard as you can tell.. I just love having shizloads of data on characters.. it's fun and keeps me from getting bored of a character, which is why some characters of mine never are drawn again; they get boring as heck.
I think I'm done. D|
Lol I'm not good at making the body from the side, you shouldn't see the other side as much as I have it. xD
Unlike my ref with Lav, I actually drew everything without using the flip tool to copy the side views for both. I just used a bunch of lines for the head size, shoulder height etc., or to copy the bodies. Mostly because I was at school when I did all this, and I wanted to do everything without cheating. xD
I did most of the coloring yesterday till 1:20 AM. xD
----------------------
11/14/11 GMT EST 1 AM; AN HOUR LATER...
-Fixed coloring issues more.
-Added more color.
-Detailed tail more.
-Fixed and cleaned up line art.
This is the last update for the night and the update I will actually let my watchers know of.. xD
I will be doing some concepts and a better drawing to reference here tomorrow in school maybe.
----------------------
11/14/11 after 12 AM GMT EST! D|
-Updated some colors.
-Added more light blue.
-Fixed some line art mistakes ( missing line art for makings and etc. )
-Filled in coloring spots.
-Fixed inconsistencies with her boots, one being wider at the bottom with the transparency.
-Added how to say her name.
-Erased excessive lines.
...
-ETC. OTLOTLOTL
*has a migraine now*
------------------------
11/13/11
-Added some minor details.
-Added green fur spots and some fixes to the image.
- Added why she has a scarf.
-Added breasts, which I forgot to add.
(Thanks ~LunarMew for noting that, even though I know what you were noting but it made me remember this detail. xD )
|D
-Also I changed her eyelashes to something different and more bold!
I'll be doing some concepts of her and stuff like Lav's ref but not as complicated and won't have as much info because of not being as detailed as Lav. xD
And the fact I'll be doing it for fun! <3
Oh how I rediscovered how much I love making characters and stories. <3
...despite it being tedious.. xD
------------------------------
Changed the species, the name just a tad, got rid of excess hair since I like the shortness to her hair.
I need some help with her, are the colors good? Or are there too many? Any I should just get rid of? Any to add? Etc.
She has no skin color by the way. She's just got fur. All fur.
And she has transparent places, the gray colors. Well most grey areas. Some aren't transparent like the stripes and her belt.
And yes her shoes have springs; they're for enhancing her jumping abilities.
And I know her tail is ridiculously long. xD
But she's an alien so anything goes but I may make it just a wee shorter because it's a little too long. o3o
Now on to bio and shit:
Name: Taioz Xidox ( Tah-ohz [ think tacos ] Zee-docks )
Species: Long tailed Cliese ( Alien species )
Age: 12
Weight: 65 lbs (without accessories ) 81 lbs ( with accessories ) (She's pretty skinny though )
Height: 3" 5' or 106.68 centimeters
Personality: Shy, adventurous, loves to explore things, courageous, hardly ever intimidated by challenges, loves nature, usually silent when around people, and loves to read, mostly history genres.
Abilities: Flying using her gravity powers, Jumping to high places, and climbing almost anything, almost.
Weaknesses: Extreme weather, her tail getting stuck or pulled, the dark, running due to heavy accessories, inability to turn off gravity powers, and allergic to trees and plants.
Likes: Adventuring, climbing, learning things about Mobius/plants, reading and flying.
Dislikes: Her inability to turn off her gravity powers, people in general, machinery and technology ( other than what she has brought as it the only types that she needs ), the fact she allergic to what she loves, falling, and having to charge her devices.
Bio: After leaving her planet after getting bored of its mechanical looks with no interesting things about it, Taioz decides to go on about to another world. And she runs into Mobius. She decides to stay there because it's different, less boring and not as colorless as her planet.
She asked permission from the queen beforehand since the only way getting there was by teleporting via a teleporter device. She promised she'd send any interesting information back if she found anything. And is willing to do anything to see that it help their planet.
Her age isn't too young to her planet ( they live longer but mature faster and at a young age ) so she is an adult there but obviously not on the current planet she's on, Mobius.
She has a best friend named Faye, and she's a gardener that also loves nature and plants. Faye usually goes along with her adventures in case Taioz needs her help with her allergies since she has healing powers to help, though minimal as it may be.
Her rival is named Alma Butch is from another planet that doesn't like their home planet in general and always have conflicts with them. The planet Taioz and Faye are in has more of peace aspiration and wants to be the best when it comes to technology while the other planet is more concerned about universal conquest, and to have the best weapons available. These two planets have ongoing conflicts as we speak. They rarely get along or agree to anything. And have fierce competition when it comes to being better than one another, one because they fear of an attack, and the other planet is to make sure they are better than the other planet, Lupis.
While she may have the power of gravity she finds it useless and wishes to learn something more useful for her planet like nature. However this means she'd have to learn it somehow, and on her planet nobody has it so she is on a search for it on Mobius.
Faye and Alma:
First concept of Taioz:
Concepts:
SEGA Styles: [link] [link] [link]
-----------------------------------
And because of her outfit has these ridiculously strange mechanics on her I'll explain them for you.
Her accessories:
Wristbands: These help her ability to climb better and have tools for her to use in case she slips and fall there's a magnetic device with a stretch/weight breaking resistance string to avoid a crushing fall. However at extreme weather it will weaken and may break if falling too fast or with too much weight. ( Snow, extreme heat ect. )
Knee protectors: Her knee protectors do what they say. They protect her knees from damage as you'd figure climbing would need areas to be covered up. And since she uses her legs the most, her knees need to be protected more.
Boots: Her boots enhance her jumping speed, distance and height. When jumping it adds more spring to her jumps.
Scarf: Her scarf is there to put a bubble around her head ( invisible ) to help purify the air and enable her to breathe. ( Thanks ~Majin-Tobias for pointing out how she can breathe on a different planet. I didn't think about that.. xD )

And now that other poses have been added, I can see she only has 1 really long tail. I thought she had like, 3 of them or something, what with how curled around it is. Not bad

Thanks. <3
Yeah it's probably from learning my anatomy better, I don't have any trouble with it anymore but the feet, the damn feet.. xD
I have trouble with feet and side views. xD
The side view isn't correct, you shouldn't see the other side of her body as much as I made it. It's more of a 3/4 view but exaggerated. o3o

FrostyTheBat In reply to Lavenkitty [2011-12-01 17:59:43 +0000 UTC]
Feet piss me off. XD! So do hands. They're just annoyingly difficult.
The bottom side view looks a bit better than the one above it. The legs always get me, though, because you really want to draw both, but you can't XD
Nonetheless, it's still very nice. And I think that could be an easy fix.

LunarMew In reply to ??? [2011-11-14 02:13:29 +0000 UTC]
A suggestion for the color scheme: Try to keep at least 4 or 5 colors at max, hun. You don't have to take my advice, especially since the colors that you picked compliment each other nicely. Hell, since the colors are low on saturation, it doesn't feel like an eyesore to the audience when looking at the character design. (Unlike the "rainbow" colored characters. XD) The thing is if you use too many colors in your design you might forget which colors to use next time you draw your character. I have this problem with constantly having to look up reference just for my own character because I can't remember how the design and color scheme goes. But still, that might be just me since I have an awful memory.
However, like I said, the colors you chose compliment each other well so you may not encounter this problem much. Just be careful with the color scheme, though. And if you ever wanted to get rid of some of the colors for whatever reason, get rid of the ones that look the same as other colors, such as the light blue but not the dark blue and vice versa.
Nice design and bio by the way. It gives off an "ancient alien" vibe. Kind of Tomb Rader-y, minus the exaggerated "T and A" features. Or Jak and Daxter-y.

Lavenkitty In reply to LunarMew [2011-11-14 03:11:46 +0000 UTC]
I tried to avoid her being like Lav, and to have a low saturated color scheme, because it bothered me mostly. And I didn't want to burn other people's eyes either yeah.. xD
I tried to keep a complimentary color scheme like I'm used to. In fact the dark pinkish/purple and the green are exact inverts of each other, I did an invert to see what the opposite color was of the green and loved the color enough to use it. xD
( Oh man I hated those, I made one traditionally back in the old days since somebody asked me too.. at least it's not my character.. and then another for the hell of it. xD )
At least it's not like Lav, oh tallests, I counted how many colors she had an it was 16 ( it's 15 recently since I made all the blacks the same now except her wristbands. ) She was the character of mine with the most colors.. xD
So this gal is relatively simple to me. Very simple, I know Lav's colors by heart. Obviously after so many years of them being that way.. |D
I reference my characters all the time regardless if I do remember their colors, it's just best to do that to avoid make any mistakes. It happens to me a lot even if they're simple.. xD
I always save the colors to my color swatches on PS so I never have to open an image, I labeled them too so I know which is which. It's very handy.. xD
Yeah the dark and light blues, that one was the one I felt needed to be added because I didn't want the belt to be the same blue color and some parts of the outfit needed another color to me. I don't like using the same colors too much, it starts to bore me, and I try to avoid that when coloring.. I guess I like complicated colors. It seems to be something I can't avoid, some old habit I developed awhile ago. I think over a few months I'll figure out what colors to keep or add maybe. I'll have to actually draw her again and ink it to really see how the colors show because this is a pencil drawing and the inked drawings always ends up different. Well.. to me they do haha.
I've been thinking, should I change her pupil to something else ( shape wise or color wise ) or keep it the same, since she's an alien and all? But maybe that would be taking things too far possibly.. xD
Yup basically like that, I was trying to go for a simple alien design, but nothing too crazy. I didn't notice the Tomb Raider thing till you mentioned it now. xD
Yeah back when I drew this she had none because at the time She was just a young girl who was a Tarsier. ( those things are adorable but also creepy. xD )
I forgot to fix her lacking of boobs. I should try and fix that now to look somewhat older, though at the view she's at I don't think I'll be able to show much of her rear end.. otl.
Some day I'll redraw her in my better Sonic style haha.

LunarMew In reply to Lavenkitty [2011-11-23 01:38:15 +0000 UTC]
I never thought of saving colors in swatches. I should do that. Instead I often open an old file with the colors I need and use the eyedropper tool. It gets tedious.
Anyways, whether you want to change your character's eye color and eye shape is up to you. Personally, I think it works very well especially since yellow and purple go well together. The outer area of the eyeball is greenish but still has this tint of slight yellow to it, and it isn't overly "thick" ether. <3
Sorry for the late reply, by the way. I was doing projects.

Lavenkitty In reply to LunarMew [2011-11-26 01:32:49 +0000 UTC]
Yeah I abuse swatches too much.. xD
I saved all my swatches so I can take them anywhere and in case of PS deleting them ( it did it before. ) of course you have to delete the other ones then save it, reload the originals then add yours. Otherwise you'll have double defaults. xD
I have yet to add this character's colors to my swatches. I just added the colors for tails and Sonic now. So I'll do her next.
Yeah I tried to change it to the opposite color of the light yellow-green but it was too dark to the design and too dark to see her pupil. The only problem with her current eye color is that it's too similar to Lav's fur color.. I accidently did that.. xD
Nah it's ok, I'm late myself too. xD

Majin-Tobias [2011-11-13 15:15:47 +0000 UTC]
One question. Are her breathing systems compatible with the Oxygen that's on Mobius/Earth? If not, how does she breathe?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lavenkitty In reply to Majin-Tobias [2011-11-13 21:11:18 +0000 UTC]
It's compatible as far as I would know by now. Maybe I'd change that later on as she is in the development stage and I will redraw her soon.
That would be interesting.. Hmm.. maybe that's why she has her scarf? It's just there otherwise... why does she have a scarf..? xD
Well, I sure didn't check the drawing very well. Possibly I could say the scarf has an invisible bulb around her that purifies the air so she can breathe maybe?
Otherwise she just has a useless scarf.. xD

Lavenkitty In reply to Majin-Tobias [2011-11-13 21:41:50 +0000 UTC]
Maybe I should, or maybe not.. hmmm.. would make the scarf less useless.. xD
And if it's useless then there's no piont of it being there.. but I like the scarf.. o3o
Yeah gonna do just that. Because scarves are awesome.
