Snapshot Sunday - November 13
🕑 Added 2022-11-14 00:54:02 +0000 UTCIt's been a couple weeks since the last Weekend Snapshot update, partly due to being out of town, partly due to unexpected events needing attention IRL, and partly due to the dreaded Seasonal Affective Disorder rearing it's head on a few occassions. But we're back at it, so lets jump right in!
Without a doubt, the big piece to talk about is the Halloween picture. I had plans for a larger piece of Vallory and an assistant kobold making a witches brew (knowing the characters, almost certainly a growth-oriented concoction!), but it was clear that I hadn't left myself enough time to finish the piece to the scope I was wanting, considering I was also going to be attending a wedding a few days later. So I scrapped the initial idea and went with something smaller in scope, a witchy Kobold in a pumpkin patch! There's definitely aspects about it I know I could have done better (I feel the lighting in particular is lacking), but given the reduced time I had, I'm still fairly happy with the end result. Just gotta be better at planning bigger pictures ahead of time!
The Halloween picture lead to me starting initial concepts for a trio of goth Kobolds sisters, of whom Willow is pictured in the actual Halloween pic, with the goal being to have the trio cover a broad spectrum of flavors of "big goth girlfriend". So we have Willow, the shortest but also the one who's in charge, and proportionally the one with the biggest booty. Next is Ash, who's the tallest, and rippling with muscle. She's the gentle giant of the bunch. Finally there's Orchid (name pending, I like Ivory as well so we'll see what I settle on), who is very tall, but the middle height of the three, and is the curvy Big Titty Goth of the three. I'm excited to draw more of them in the future!
From there, there was progress on several other projects (perhaps unsurprisingly, three of them involving kobolds). Progress on the redesign for the adoptable Kobold Hibiscus was made, Claire, a kobold designed for Marjask, got her ref sheet treatment completed, and after the poll on Twitter finished, a new Kobold, Mitzi, was designed for Grow-vember! More on that to come soon. The only non-kobold related project that had updates was the commission for Major Cooke, which since last update had another tweak since the last update back in the start of October, but we're finally settled on the composition and everything with that one, so finishing it will be fairly quick from this point.
And then there was the last sketch of Brooke, which was mostly just me messing around with design stuff (namely seeing if I could get her to look good with Really Big Hair, since that seems to be a thing I'm into lately), and I'm pretty happy with where it went! Might have to mess around with it a bit more before making any "permanent" changes though.
But that'll do it for this week's update! A bit wordy but there was a number of weeks to make up for. We'll be back to more digestible updates next week! Until then, thank you as always for your continued support, and I hope you have a great week!
