Description Yes, I am indeed not dead!
Oh, and I have been asked lately why I do not draw that much traditional art anymore and if I could start doing it again. I want to correct this question: "Why don't you upload traditional art that often anymore?"
because no one wants to see sketches and I'm too lazy to scan

Though I found a new hobby in the social science class: making it my new art class by drawing as much as I can. :'D Resulting that I had about 20 sketches to scan now

Anyway, these are sketches of the Reference Sheets I plan to redo. Prech needs an update anyway and may I say that I just LOVE the sketch of her new Reference? Proud of that one. And Sunny is about to look more badass since she IS a badass (kind of )
And I wanted to draw Charice again, so she gets a new Reff as well :'D
Oh, and I finally draw a Reference for Reverend, even though I'm not too happy with how the sketch of him turned out. Let's see if I can do better in tomorrow's social science class
Oh, and let me introduce Mordecai to you! This is what happends when I make a pact with Kjara! :'D Nah, just kidding. But I bought him from her anyway. I love his chimera design! He's gonna be one of my CRPG characters for the Verensa Herd (a guard) and open to RP once I'm available again.

Anyway, all these sketches were actually style practiced because I got comlaints that my Caspana characters are not recognizeable at night :I I will try to make the styles of the individual characters differ a bit, so that it will become more obvious who is who. :'D I already gave Maddy her trademark curl in the forelock as well as her dwarf-size, and Charice her short mane, but apparenly no one notices these things. *is disappointed because she tried so hard to make those individual character features obvious*

Anyway, pelase tell me what you think about my style here I really tried to improve it here
oh, and ignore anatomy for now, I know that I botched Reverend and Mordecai a bit

These look awesome c: I've always been a huge fan of your style. I can't say I'm all too familiar with these characters like some of your older watchers are, but I don't have a hard time telling them apart. It's the little details that matter ^^

good to know that some people here recognize the characters in their night forms XD

Even those who can't tell from looks, you get a big clue from personalities >___>
just because two horses look the same dont mean they act the same irl
and dey colors fit too so

Lilafly In reply to nighttmares [2015-02-24 19:42:21 +0000 UTC]

except when their personalities changed in chapter 3
a friend of mine said that she'd have difficulties to keep Maddy and Charice apart and that she thinks of the Caspanas as different characters when they are in their night forms and does therefore not really pay attention, which saddens me a little bit because I also DO make character improvement at night, especially for Charice in the next chapter. :I I mean, I can understand that different character thing when you relate it for Sunny, because she DOES act slightly different at night, but Charice, Maddy and Drako just stay the same, so meh, dunno what that's all about
at least you can recognize Drako from his necklace (and haha, even that will be taken from him later! >:3)

wait, what are you refering to?

silverwolvesarecool [2015-02-24 15:50:47 +0000 UTC]

I can tell the difference between them in the Caspana form :/ Anyways awesome characters! I love them! I can't wait to see them in the comic!

ArcanaMajor [2015-02-24 15:13:52 +0000 UTC]

I can kind of see where people are coming from when they get confused by characters at night? This isn't an attack, but you have a very distinctive style. (That's generally a compliment, haha!) Alongside that distinctive style, quite a few of the characters - certainly the ones I can see here - have a similar build. While one might be a bit taller, or sleeker, in general their proportions are the same. So when you remove colours and whatnot, it might be a bit difficult to recognize them. And at a glance, a curl here or there won't be that noticeable.

I think different builds and proportions might help a lot, if you ever want to change anything? (Not to say you don't have those already! I can clearly see the differences, but they're negligible right now. Going a bit farther might help!)

thanks a lot!
yeah, the night problem is not really the dimming of colors, but that they change their look completely in same characters' cases :'D and this causes confusions XD
yeah, the built has always been a huge problem for me. Currently I try to get my Arabian characters look more like Arabians for a start and then I'll continue to work on specific breed features :3 I'm not very educated on the differences between breeds anyway, so it's a little hard for me anyway

ArcanaMajor In reply to Lilafly [2015-02-25 12:04:54 +0000 UTC]

I have exactly the same. From one drawing to the other, the same character will look completely different. You have a distinctive style, though, and while it might not be every single person's cup of tea, it's super recognizable. So maybe just fiddling with proportions and breeds might help make things clearer. And it's what we have google for, right? XD

Lilafly In reply to ArcanaMajor [2015-02-25 14:18:02 +0000 UTC]

oh yes, that's the biggest probelm of them all! Especially for me, because I draw the comic where the characters should actually look the same, but they don't
exactly! The power of Google will rescue us!
