REDESIGNING MY FIRST COMIC CHARACTERS (speedpaint and commentary)

LOLLL

I kinda imagine a scene where Ruth has her makeup off, like she's about to take a dip into a river or something to get clean, and Theo sees her and is just super surprised by her scars, but it only makes him like her more. Ya know like something out of a cheesy romance novel.

[@-wxinnie-8266]

Omg yes 🤩

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

:D

[@Pandie2828]

Yeah I mean an outlaw would totally be impressed by scars

[@milkamoussse]

​@@Pandie2828 On a clown

[@Pandie2828]

@@milkamoussse Yes scars are proof of survival no matter who you are, an outlaw who's been through the valley would recognize that. Plus circuses in this era wouldn't have been as far removed from freakshows and that grotesque connotation wouldn't make it hard to believe she'd been through something horrible.

[@ridley1230]

I’ve only know Ruth and Theo for 19 minutes but if anything happened to them I would launch myself to Mars, climb Olympus Mons and cry for a thousand years.

[@xX_ewwwewwie_Xx]

real

[@Storybook5571]

So real , 🤭

[@monbub]

yes

[@oddkitty98]

Knowing this is a comic, which is a story, that is supposed to have “character development”, you’re in for a real treat

[@nyyctoph1liaa]

I need ten novels, 5 movies. More in coming. More artwork. And more lore. I love them so much. Please Emma give us another video. IM BEGGING 🧎‍♀️

[@sunstone_xd8977]

Praying🙏🏾

[@vanillabean6807]

YES YES YES this needs to happen right now!

[@monbub]

bro I would spend my entire life savings to turn this into an animated movie

[@DaniDumZ]

whatever story the artist wants to tell is what I want to see, wouldn’t want the uniqueness and soul of the story to be crushed and spread out into a marketable franchise

[@Ayato.51]

I love the colors on the characters especially Ruth she’s so pretty omg, and Theodore is so good-looking. The background and the cover are amazing. You did a fantastic job redesigning your first comic!❤

[@emmasaurt]

aw thank you so much! that means a ton 🫶🏻

[@monbub]

yess I love how their colors contrast next to each other! like theo is warm colors and ruth is cold colors

[@druidchrstn]

The character designs are so so good, and I'm happy that you chose to make their colors contrasting in this newest version, it really expresses the stark difference between them both :D!!

[@emmasaurt]

AW THANK YOUU

[@chimkinwaffles]

i cant the pfp 😭 crying

[@call_mebecca]

Thank goodness you changed his name from Clayton 😭Theodore suits a lot! haha ALSO-- THE STORY FOR THIS IS SO GOOD, I'D BE OBSSESED WITH IT IF IT WAS A REAL COMIC!!! AHHHH

[@emmasaurt]

yeah there was no way HAHAHA thank you!

[@kaido2433]

I love oc videos so much, it's always so cool seeing people's artistic processes design and story wise! Yours in particular have got to be my favorite, the way you tell stories is incredible!

[@emmasaurt]

aw whaaa thank you so much!!!

[@NINJACOFFIN]

Loved the OCs! For side character suggestion, make a gay cowboy couple that Theo & Ruth meet and seeing the couple interact and talk makes them both realize they are in love when leading up to the the confession, that would be awesome!! (doesnt have to be a gay couple persay, but i think it would be cool since they did exist and the dynamic of how society especially about lgbt was would impact the couple in different ways but they found salvation from it in each other)

[@emmasaurt]

THATS SO CUTE AND SUCH A GOOD IDEA

[@NaraNom]

I am actually a HUGE fan of cowboys AND clowns, and also a huge fan of your art style, so this video was like a whole 3 in 1 deal!!

[@kusumorichai7740]

These new designs make my heart so happy omg, the dynamic between these two characters is so amazing as well, I'm excited to see future updates if you do continue this. I live finding new inspiration to help me keep going in my art journey!

[@emmasaurt]

AW THANK YOUU

[@Smilingsnowman0]

This story is so much more interesting than any comic on webtoon currently 😭

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

lmfaoo the clayton bit 😭 cant blame u. do what u gotta do okay!

[@sydidiahyaoi]

that lore olympus video would be so interesting

[@emmasaurt]

🤔🤔🤔

[@KimSvanholm]

DEATAILS!!! I LOVE LISENING TO PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEIR OCS LORE IN DEATAIL!!

[@readingdino711]

I just got the inspo for my last character in my samurai, pirate, cowboy and British lady story, a magician. Thanks for the inspiration, now I should probably start working on the plot of the story lol.

[@Fuyoflo]

It’s always nice seeing the first sketches of a story and its characters. This is really nice!

[@henrytalksalot5817]

clown and cowboy + time travel story crossover when???

[@kasmatic]

Now I think if the webtoon came out with this story everyone would be interested and would ship these two so much

[@Grim_Reapurr]

I was quite literally thirsting over these characters the entire time, lovely designs and art as usual. You're my favorite artist !

[@larz27888]

I LOVE THIS STORY SO FAR!! I need more lore to this story it’s genuinely so interesting

[@TheSnocodiless]

I feel like this would still be an amazing webtoon! Even if it was sketchy and or just black and white, it would honestly feel nice and I'd read it a lot!

[@adeletaylor2883]

If this ever became a real comic, Id read it for sure. i already love them sm

[@monbub]

oh my gahjd the storyline ever so slightly reminds me of tangled (WHICH I LOVE) so im super excited bc this character dynamic is my absolute favorite of all archetypes!! i would totally watch this if it was an animated movie!!!

[@-wxinnie-8266]

Omg your character design is so good looking you inspire me to try and improve my drawings and get better, I love the colors for the characters contrast each other with Ruth being mostly cool colors and Theodore being mostly warm colors. Your art is so nice 😀✨

[@sashaspearl]

DUDEE- I absoloutely love these re-designs, and genuinely like the longer, more detailed type of video this is! Knowing more about the character DEFINITELY makes me want to see more of them in the future :)

[@LonelyMagpie]

These two are adorable and my kind of ship lol. I can just see it, Ruth’s prior friend from the circus realizing that she is with Theo and works with the cops to get catch him. Forcing Ruth to come back with him if she doesn’t want Theo to die, trapping her even further. Cue breakout sequence, with Theo rushing back to save Ruth and stopping her formar friend. love the designs and characters ❤

[@Mrwhirlpool]

I love the new designs!! I love how ruth is blue and Theodore is orange/yellow, they’re like polar opposites !

[@peachyarts386]

i have watched this like 3 times now and I just love the story- I find it to while being almost like an enemies or lovers It just feels different... probably because of the settings and the clown and cowboy- all of this gave me motivation to actually do more drawings of a little universe I myself made a while back and actually try and explore it more. and I also just love the redesigns lol- the change of color scheme completely for Ruth both makes her stand out from Theodore... but also for me at least fits a lot with the like sad story with the blues... and I actually found the blonde hair on Theodore to make his design connect with Ruths like how they are different but work well together it's just cute!

[@ItsDioxide]

I actually love this so much I’m actually in love with them literally id read this if it were a comic

[@acidicbarkbeast]

i know you said you struggled with the shading and lighting of the mock cover but it really turned out incredible!!

[@creditsong7369]

At 9:18 when you show Theo's old design, the first one looks just like Clay from Moral Orel to me which is funny since you just renamed the character from Clay to Theodore.

[@Grey_like_the_color]

im litterally frothing at the mouth and giggling and kicking my feet and twirling my hair i want to take a bite out of ALL of ur oc stories dude i love them sooo much dude

[@channellyyy]

SHES SO CUTE CUTE CUUUTTTTEEEE I LOOOOVE HER COLOR PALETTE ITS STANDS OUT AND SHE LOOKKKKKSSS SO SWEET . no offense but i ADORE this design way more that the old. i feel like the old looks like every other clown but this one stands out and really looks so good.

[@thesupremebean6805]

I’m literally so obsessed with them if you feel like doing another video of them it would be much appreciated! they are so attractive and I love the dynamic so much and the drawings you made for this video are SO pretty I’m in love with your art style

[@am_tired-]

MY DOSE OF INSPIRATION IS HERE

[@bro4317]

Your videos always get me so inspired to draw! omg i love your ocs + its always interesting to see peoples thought process with their own characters

[@emmasaurt]

AWWW THANK YOUUU

[@megumi--6235]

I live for OCs and their lore, I’d love to see more about yours!

[@miilkz]

I cannot belive u just united my two fav things😭i love cowboys and clowns so much!

[@Blitz-.-]

i love these two so much. Theyre my favorite character archetypes and my fav ship dynamic, done in such a fun and unique way.

[@uchicken_]

im sgonna cry theyre so adorable skadjasjdkasldsasddsa........ i wanna draw fanart of them ngl 😭 theyre so cutie patooties, even if they do leave each other at the end i wanna see them reunite in some way, like theo walking into a shop ruth happens to work at and they greet each other, then CLIFFHANGER!!! would also LOVE a plot twist where its the sons reason the ringleader is dead, like, not COMPLETELY his fault but he had a seizure or something and the son never called for help so he could be in control

[@malucm10]

Emma I absolutely LOVEEE your videos about your OCs I am so invested in Theo and Ruth omggg

[@shaivi_here]

Omg i love ur oc stories! I rlly like ur artstyle as welll!! The way u can make so many body types and poses??😭😭 I hope one day i could also be able to make vids like u! Very interesting!💖💖

[@beanssenpai]

I love the storytelling you were able to come up with for these characters and I’m excited to see more of them!

[@sonataandsymphony]

omg the designs look amazing! i feel like they’re already some of my favourites even though ik nothing about them :D ALSO THE DREAM JUMPSCARE I CANT😭

[@psalmsart]

I N E E D a comic of these two!! They are precious 💗✨

[@Emily-qd4ce]

Ok so I have an idea for like possible shenanigans. First of all, I love your designs and its nice to see how much you grew as an artist in the past 4 years. The idea is that the cicus fiance guy could send his goons to catch her. Each goon could be based of an other position in a Cicus. (Like a knive thrower, a fire breather, a strongman, a snake person) and so he sends them after her, one after one, but they defeat them or make them be arrested or something. Then at the end hes like: "fine, ill do it myself" and then he's like the ringleader or something. Dunno if that fits the tone, but that what I immediatly thought of when I heard there was an evil fiance involved.

[@yuri_luvr69]

Ur art is sooooo good im so excited to watch this ^_^ having a hard day so this will definitely make it better:]

[@emmasaurt]

awww i’m sorry your having a hard day :( I hope it gets better!

[@soggiest_oreozzz77]

I instantly became interested with these two the first time you showed them now I absolutely ADORE them and their story, they are so cute together I would love to see more content of them in the future!!

[@nautival]

when you showed these ocs in your last video i was DYING to see how you redesigned them and OMFG THEY ARE BOTH SO HOT ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY 😭😭

[@fizzy_gutz]

Omg these characters are adorable!! How cuteeee. I just love anything western related. I really hope you make more of them ❤

[@hippyhopohskippydop5792]

9:50 so the song called wanted man is about a cowboy that shoots someone because of someone that he loves, and I feel like this is almost too perfect for the cowboy that you have

[@victorowens-s8s]

this idea sounds so cool I LOVE THE STORY, BRO THE COMIC IDEA IS SO COOL

[@emmasaurt]

THANK YOU

[@silverish9081]

Man, this is so cool! I really like how you completely redefined the characters (respect the boldness to straight up scrap the old stuff), I think they turned out much more interesting and "edgy" in a good way and much better suited for actually interacting in gun and interesting ways. The art is gorgeous too!

[@abbie7099]

I'm in love with this so much!! When the video ended I forgot that this wasn't an actual story😭

[@ItzCasey]

I really like the new designs! Also, I like seeing you redesign characters and giving a backstories to those characters❤

[@oliviay4525]

Its so pretty wawawa 😍 i too am an absolute sucker for enemies to lovers or whatever this trope js because ARDHSKSJ. Also the shedding layers of clothes is genius?? How are you so creative GIRL. Anyways thanks as always for this beautifully made video and art (nom nom nom) and until next time 💖

I love all the designs and I'm so happy you changed his name. I also love their dynamics. You did an amazing work!!!

[@kendram.3379]

Wow this is amazing!!! I absolutely love your stories, hearing your passion is really inspiring. I was just wondering, when you create an original story like this from scratch, what does you creative process usually look like? Like is there anything you look at for inspiration before hand or are there certain things you like to figure out about the universe/characters first? Or does it just kinda happen? Sorry if that was long lol, I'd love to hear about this more ur so cool 😭❤

[@emmasaurt]

I definitely look to a lot of things for inspiration! I guess the story comes whenever i’m starting to sketch it out,i just find a idea i like and run with it!

[@bluchio]

OBSESSED W THEM ALREADY OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ARGH I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC AND STORY SO MUCH IM SOBBING AND GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE

[@thattoastedone]

I love the new designs! I've also been obsessed with spotlight for the past who knows what. They bring so much to the characters!! One thing I noticed (maybe not intentional) but I like how in the last drawing Ruth looks sorta out of place with her color scheme meanwhile Theo looks like he belongs in the wilderness/desert. Given that Ruth spent all(/most) her life in the circus of course she would look out of place when she's in a new environment! I love storytelling through art.

[@Louie-et6mf]

I imagine Ruth has a makeup pallet and uses it every comic until she begins to forget to do this. And then one day she opens it and it’s empty …

[@vioIoncello]

I absolute love how you manage to come up with some of the most random (in the coolest way possible) ideias and dynamics, it's very fun to watch! I love your art, btw. So pretty!!

[@TheFloofinArtist]

[@celestiafanforever]

not gonna lie when you said that you got the idea for this while bored in class remains me of how I created my first pony oc SunRose. I created this emotional anger driven pegasus oc in the 6th grade of middle school. During a time where I myself was going through bullying and at the time couldn't stand up for myself so I took all of my pint up anger towards these people and put it into SunRose. it's been several years since I created that mare and all that's changed about her is her mane/tail style. She used to look like a recolored Rainbow Dash with an orange coat, a red mane/tail, and bright blue eyes, her update design is now a smooth mane/tail with her mane pulled back between her ears with a light green headband to keep her mane in place. Now does she still have the same personality as she did when I created her? Yes, I'm not changing that, 6th grade me put too much anger into her for present me to get rid of. She is however now seen as a rose with thorns. One moment she's sweet and laughing along with her friends and next you talk crap about her dead mom or how her adopted mom only adopted her cause of a promise then you will be waking up from a week long coma with broken teeth.

[@Aquatwin22]

oh i love love love this upgrade. as a clown lover i love the sorta sad clown vibes you made with it to help round out the story

[@skrebutis]

I'm always so amazed by your character designs, color schemes and your art style in general, but all this, paired with this story especially, is just sooooo wonderful!!! ToT I'm really digging the concept of the comic too, excited to hear more about these characters, definitely seems like it would be a great read

[@xXAlexOrWhateverXx]

From what little I know, I’m already a fan. I’m so intrigued by this concept!

[@itsanotherhomestuckfanwow9350]

I absolutely love Ruth's design!!!! She's Uber cute!!!

[@flatpigeon9349]

I just did art doing middle school and now I have a shelf filled with full sketchbooks. So many cursed ideas in there and I'll just go through them when needing inspo.

[@lightningjules658]

super early! i would absolutely ADORE to see your take on lore olympus, as i too used to really enjoy it back in the day (looking back, it was just all the pretty colors tbf)

[@emmasaurt]

that’s kinda how i felt, i remember really liking the artstyle

[@ranchustars3050]

AAAH their new designs are so nice I love their new personalities!!! Your art has come a long way in only like 3 years! Also if you do decide to make that Lore Olympus video I would definitely watch that.

ITS SO CUTE!,, >:3 I ALSO LOVE THE SOUNDS THEY JUST TICKLE MY BRAIN!!! AND THE OLD NINTENDOGS DS VIBES GRAAAAA@@emmasaurt

[@ew.noxzema]

I keep imagining this as a old western movie in the way they talk

[@CorvidCreates]

I feel like Boone would try and help her on her journey in hopes of getting more money out of her but end up actually caring for her in the end. and by help her on her journey i feel like it would kinda be similar to lady and the tramp(with or without romance ofc), like theo would go and take her on adventures and show her around and maybe they went to like a show one time and started dancing around for fun(i thought of this when i saw the spotlight drawing because they seem to be dancing in it.)

[@yejikun]

Ma’am, you just earned yourself a new subscriber! I loooved the concept of your -hopefully- future comic. I would highly suggest to name it “a tale of a cowboy and clown” idk I feel like it adds to the story like what’s the tale what’s the tea between these two yk. Also I wanna point out the magnificent art that’s making write this comment which is the spotlight lighting art I think you did a great job it feels like a Disney typa commercial which made me imagine more about the adventures these two are gonna face. Please keep it up I’m interested ❤

[@ghostkiwi725]

I haven't seen this video all the way yet but I just wanted to say that I'm in LOVE with Ruth's new design 😳😳😳 she's adorable

[@Blanche_255]

i love them omg id LOVE to read this

[@Bina-sh3pd]

It would be awesome to see them in the background of your other serie. As a little hint of their story. But also her leavening the circus can cause Dela remasters son to kidnap her mother in a wait for Savannah if you really want to original storyline… just a thought.

[@cherubmush]

I love clowns and cowboys so I immediately fell in love with this amazing job!!
