I feel that owl Bert and the queen would be in the same universe. Similar to a Alice and Wonderland vibe. Just with the Renaissance era

[@wolfford5395]

And the forest she mentioned the queen could be ruling over could be the same one with the skele-witch 👀

[@liviethealmigty8454]

@@wolfford5395 I was thinking that actually lol also the mage could probably fit too

[@errrerrr409]

And maybe the webtoons and care bear girl could end up in the world like alice

[@sterling-reads]

@@errrerrr409 ohhhh this is so good kind of like a 'I hate fairyland' type trope

[@gratefulmama618]

I need more of the Webkinz family band!!!🤘Owl-bert is truly incredible, he's giving Hooty from The Owl House

[@dragonfly._.doodles]

MY EXACT THOUGHT! And their name is OWLBERT LIKE COME ON! /pos

[@KipTheWitch6]

​​@@dragonfly._.doodlesYeah! The same name as Edas palismin!

[@anextremelyattractivepieceofgr]

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.

[@redneko4346]

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❤️

[@frick-diddly]

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 :)

[@WSchmidt09]

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!

[@junkyard_dog18]

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

[@v.v365]

Owl Bert is the biblically accurate depiction of an Angel that we needed all along

[@ladypossum1776]

Im living for these funky little friends

[@carbonated_H20]

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

[@0o_MarauderOverSeas_o0]

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!

[@woooooo4426]

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.

[@ourabouras]

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😂😂😂

[@generalcorgi698]

As someone who loves fashion history and fun lil characters, I love how much history directs your art

[@ChantelleArts]

The witchy skeleton followed by the extra queen gal are pure perfection 👌🏻✨😍😍

[@EllieWishesEnterprises]

HAHA ok I LOVE the webkinz family band idea oh my god I’m so glad you’ve been able to use my silly submissions as a silly character design!!

[@ellieelite]

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 🍄✨🩻

[@raeesaameer1000]

I love the witch she is such an aesthetic :)

[@Egg_thing]

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

[@TheBlackHatOutlaw]

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.

[@bonewitch8010]

Love your art

[@juicyymakesart]

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 😊.

[@avocadoartist1145]

Thank you so much for making these videos!! There super fun to watch and I always feel super inspired after watching them.

[@MT-lk7qt]

owl guy looks like a renaissance-era Hooty Owlhouse (an actually terrifying cryptid). maybe they're cousins

[@Translucentmoonlight]

That's what I was thinking

[@anubisdrawz361]

Owl-bert gives major hooty vibes ( hooty from The Owl House )

[@cjthefox]

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~

[@jett9602]

omfg theres a pink punk cat webkinz with a tie and i think she could be the raccoon girls gf that plays the keyboard or bass or something!!!!!!

[@SmolFly]

I always loved the idea of an undead character with things like flowers, vines, or fungus growing from their body. I am glad you drew that.

[@thesaviourfromheavensunwuk9639]

The second on really shows that she ready for Halloween

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍 just awesome, I love these! Foresty, Witchy, Mushroom Zombie especially 😊👌

[@joccoakirkpatrick2183]

These are amazing I especially loved the skeleton witch

[@bluwuboi]

the mushroom zombie witch is everything

[@crystalize17]

When you post my sketchbook practically floats to me

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

im in love with the bone mushroom witch omg

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

all of them came out fantastically!! and i LOVE the stained glass butterfly mage’s headpiece tbh!! one of my fav parts

[@jasminv8653]

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!

[@gratefulmama618]

The forest witch mushroom zombie lady is so pretty. I love her design!!! definitely giving tlou

[@peggycawley5068]

As a skater, I love that derby vibe apocalyptic gal! She’s perfect!

[@trashotaku]

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

[@shadowcat6832]

Absolutely love all of them especially the necromancer witch lady!

[@anony_apis]

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

[@sweeetjuicetv]

omg i’m absolutely OBSESSED with the care bear slasher girl,, she has my heart

[@busicrafford5673]

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 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

[@TheyFwM]

You should make some characters based on pretty tea cups like a teacup council

[@fallingfordolls3854]

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!

[@winglt3]

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.

[@winglt3]

I also believe that Owl-bert is the true artist behind the Pearl character! He probably works in that court as an artist

[@chelseaart194]

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

[@nutmeg232]

Care bear is giving Purge energy. And I LOVE IT

[@Zeldur]

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?

[@henryhoorray]

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

[@mimthyss]

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!!!

[@Jaybiiird]

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

[@cloverkettle4097]

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

[@teddyg1935]

Owl bert brings me immense joy

[@nyahreads]

these are all so gorgeous! will you ever turn any finished peices from this series into prints because i am going feral for the teacup queen

[@actuallyredash4543]

hey i know you're probably swamped with work and shows to watch but I just wanted to recommend the show Willow if you haven't watched it because it seems right up ur alley (for example, women with swords) and i personally really like it. I'd personally recommend watching the movie (has the same name) first since the show is kind of a continuation of that, but its not a mandatory watch to enjoy the show. btw sorry if this comes off as condescending in any way (oh and also really loved the video!)

[@digipix721]

I LOVE THIS SERIES ❤❤ This is one of my favorite character series their so fun

[@Deez0902]

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!

[@ToilAndStitch]

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!

[@predictablychaotic]

I love how the butterfly mage turned out!

[@floralspectre]

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!!

[@sofiavarela1290]

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

[@crystallight808]

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.

[@fuzzydragons]

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

[@witchhazel1259]

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

[@yasuriyamile080]

I LOVE character design videos, you inspire me a lot with your cool ideas ✋🏼✨✨

[@shambles3935]

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!

[@caeleanekent6417]

i love the buttefly lamp character She's so pretty!!

[@strawberry_caramel]

I love soo much this series, please don't stop making it. It gives so much inspiration and all the designs served✨

[@trashotaku]

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

[@jessomint]

Gosh these are so fun!! I can't get over how detailed each piece is, and you use so many colors!! These are so inspiring! They make me wanna amp my own art up! 🎨

[@reapergirl2529]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dustbunny1527]

owlbert reminds me a lot of gustav from spiritfarer! he is an artisanal collector if i remember correctly! very similar vibes, which i love!!

[@melanielevesque2608]

can't believe how wonderful these are, good job!

[@joybrockway5688]

Owl-Bert is kinda giving The Seven-Headed Mouse King (from the Nutcracker by ETA Hoffman) and I am here for it

[@koisbdo]

youre on a roll today with the character design videos!!! i love it 😍😍

[@AshLG]

I would cosplay the heck out of Owlbert like Tudor+Too Many Eyes hell yes

[@terahmichelle416]

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. 😊

[@xx-morel-xx]

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

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Omg you're absolutely right 🤟

[@gepi]

Amazing work as always! ❤ Really inspiring - make me wanna draw ✨✨

[@sentientcomet]

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.

[@The_Paper_Star_Wizard_Hat]

this is incredible I lOVE THIS!

[@glitchesnstitches3664]

I feel like the characters you've designed would make one hell of a videogame universe. The lore for individual characters alone gives me Skyrim level desire for fun and adventure with magical characters.

[@user-vw4xp5nt9f]

instantly teleports here. i love your designs sm

[@beetleboom64]

i love each of these designs! they are so cool, i love how you add little extra details here and there, it's so neat! and for the butterfly mage, i absolutely loved the design, however i felt like it needed more green towards the bottom of the skirt somehow, i don't know how you'd incorporate it, but i think it would help? (if that makes any sense) anyway, thank you for the video, this series is so fun to watch!! take care! :D

[@Rotten_Ralph]

I love these strange characters they are delightful

[@theasexualvampire13]

You're way too hard on yourself, the lamp design is gorgeous. I want to meet this character, she looks both powerful but inviting.

[@fatimasubhan1944]

I love these so much I swearrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

[@jeancrocker2183]

Owlbert is the Tiamat of owls. We love this for him

[@bog-man]

omfg i love this series

[@Mollieslay]

YES MORE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES

[@Forgottensnapdragon]

love the mushroom witch 💚🍄🧟‍♀

[@rembedi7636]

Ma’am, I very respectfully have no utter clue what you are talking about in the penultimate design here. IT’S FREAKING GORGEOUS!!! You rendered the stained glass and the glowy pieces so well!! I think it looks beautiful and cohesive and glittery and honestly if I saw her in some Stained Glass Elven Court in your fantasy adventure game of the month I would not blink an EYE. You did an incredible job and tell the little brain goblin in your head who says otherwise to go take a gosh darn hike because it’s incredible! I look up to you and your style and designs a lot as a young artist, you’re a constant source of inspiration and I hope you never stop doing what you do :)

[@beller6719]

okay, I'm literally in love with the butterfly mage 💛 EDIT: carebear girl is lowkey giving me Yuna and Kawachan vibes

[@oneinathousand2156]

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.

[@maxximumb]

Amazing. I love the Pride Dad the most. I can imagine a TV series called "Emo Pride" that is centered on this family.

[@sketchbookgremlin]

I absolutely love each and every one of these whimsical little dudes xx beautiful designs, lovely vid 💕✨️🌿 also does the Teacup Queen remind anyone else of Raine Emery's Queen of Hearts cosplay?? Even with her face, she just looks like Raine to me 😂 xx anyway, much love to you, my good Pile of Leaves ✨️🍂❤

[@roxywhite-he5uw]

I love you art so much and I would love to see some plus sized people in future magical girl vids ❤🥰

[@fejadooley6022]

OK SO my favourite DnD KZbinr, 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??

[@introverteddragon2247]

auctions/selling your characters would be amazing because I am incredibly tempted to make zombie witch a costume

[@gayroach2916]

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
