[SPEEDPAINT] Hal - Character Design

open that sweet description box homie
here's to that bit of awkward silence at 3:04 , cheers
edit: stop telling me u want to fuck him yall disgusting FOOLS
I wanted to try recording my design process, which is just kind of boring actually. but I also wanted to render the coloring a lil more than I usually do so its less boring I hope!
this character is called Hal, he's a seagull (duh)
I made him so my main bro Luka would have a friend for his octopus oc
he's laidback and kind of a delinquent. steals stuff, is generally a douche, etc. doesn't give a dang about danger
the red stripe on his chin is the equivalent of the red dot seagulls have on their beaks
and the blue thing on his pants is a tag, like that thing those birds have around their feetsies

[@yvoiry]

new pinned because for some reason the last one attracted the entire circus PLEASE quit talking about bnha hawks in the comments, I made this video before he was released and yes I am aware that they look alike. it’s not impossible for circumstance to align like that, but it’s a bitter topic to me since I now have no option of publicizing the project I had planned with this character because of potential copyright issues. I ask of you to please respect my wishes in this and just not mention it, that’s all I want. thanks for viewing regardless

[@shojodraws3399]

Ahh, I so sorry.

[@lovely__shadow9305]

I can confirm. I watched this video years ago. It's still one of my favorite speedpaints.

[@TheNoeky]

*throwing money at him*

[@TheNoeky]

*also breadcrumbs?*

[@yvoiry]

he'll keep those thank u

[@opencabinets]

im calling the police hes too hot for his own good this is a public safety hazard

[@yvoiry]

they'll never catch him 👀

[@iAmNothingness]

could bang me any day ¦)

[@KhyberKrave]

If appreciate it if you'd stop making me attracted to a *_seagull_*

[@hi-ft8er]

AHAHAHA OMFG LMAO

[@personaltrash2520]

So freaking true dude

[@fffernsw4dl539]

Id*

[@averyzypher330]

I just wanna touch his face. please

[@yvoiry]

do it 👀

[@averyzypher330]

But he's not real!!! 😭

[@yvoiry]

You never know 👀👀👀

[@olivecraft]

Worried parents: she keeps eyeballing the seagulls at the beach and whispering, "your not Hal"

[@j-6833]

Olivia Carter I actually have two birds and gave them human names to bribe them to turn human.

[@einin6133]

As someone who lived by the ocean, seagulls are satan himself. Even this character. Look at his charming face, trying to convince you to give him your food. Never, i tell you! LEAVE MY CRISPS ALONE, THEY'RE MINE!

[@yvoiry]

if the convincing doesn't work, he'll just take them ;D

[@emilyloraine8391]

This is by far the best comment. All the other comments are admiring his beauty, however, you will not be fooled.

[@sakiaki9206]

Sarah Jane me: mommy can i have one? mom: no sweetie those are wild me: WILDLY HOT ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) mom: O.o me: pls dont kill me- but can i have oneeeeee

[@jordanlp02]

Once when I was in Florida, a seagull swooped down and stole my sandwich. *_Seagulls are r00d._*

[@sarin671]

Sarah Jane Your comment made my day 😂👌 thank you!

[@svllied3481]

*Casually strokes masterpiece on computer screen*

[@victoriousgray5479]

Alien Prince your profile picture says it all.

[@svllied3481]

THANK YOU

[@svllied3481]

Haha sorry I was looking for this video for the music but I couldn't find it but I got the notification from your comment ;3

[@revsuki]

have u ever seen a man so beautiful

[@yvoiry]

this comment made my eyes sweat?

[@FadzilAdept]

Yeah, i have seen one. It's me. Tho i don't really know why people hate me saying that. But im beautiful AF. Whenever i go to the mirror, the mirror crack since it can't handle beautiful overload like me ❤

[@pantrymonster]

I feel like he's trying to seduce me for my lunch

[@xiomaii]

he is and it's working

[@koshokreation]

XD

[@mocha_ni_monica9487]

Dont be shy..... Give em your lunch.....

[@saamisiddiqui981]

*oh no he's hot*

[@d.rajacks5657]

I will give bird boi bread crums. Maybe a loaf...

[@yvoiry]

lets clear this up *once and for all, lads* Hal can exchange his wings for arms and back, but can't have them at the same time he rarely uses his hands and thus is pretty clumsy with them thank u for listening

[@Phase_waves]

okay good! cause i was about to ask how does he put that jacket on XD

[@audiophilekeys]

yvoi A clumsy yet -arrogant- energetic man within an aviator's outfit? You're just hitting all the points needed to steal my heart, huh?

[@yvoiry]

stealing things is what he excels at ;D

[@audiophilekeys]

yvoi -faint French laughter- Well, my fries are my own.

[@lucyheartfeilia5952]

Omg your art is amazing, you just earned a new subscriber x3

[@juni7744]

//reaches to touch his face// so beautiful...

[@yvoiry]

beware he will touch ur face back

[@taloidz]

Will he touch face with his floofy wings?

[@juni7744]

I am very okay with that.

[@cffeedq4044]

I never thought i would fall in love with a gorgeous birdman

[@seikuraku7513]

Cøffeedøq I should introduce you to Castiel and Davesprite

[@johnnyjoestar7107]

Can I interest you in Maximum ride???

[@verniixxx9191]

all I could think of was "mine mine mine" from finding nemo oops

[@Kikostarburst]

HE FLEW INTO MY HEART

[@dollykumo2959]

DOESNT IT HURT ?!?!?!

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

Let me fly my -van- seagull into your heart

[@monsterfruitloop8493]

Ahhhhhh he looks so badass!! I can definitely see him as an Aussie or English 'gent' that's for sure! XD His expression really pulls it off!! Just the look of; "I'ma seriously fuck you up mate." XD

[@exxxo3]

Definatly Aussie, gotta bring him to my side :0

[@borkingmad756]

Monster Fruitloop like just shouting OI OI to get your attention (or to start a fight with someone)

[@MarkosDantes]

* gasp! * Somebody needs to smooch the seagull man! I VOLUNTEER!!! In all seriousness though this is wonderful, the design is well thought out and beautifully executed. His wings look so soft. I want to touch them. I can see him as a kickboxer, but that might just be the music. Cool concept though, just imagine what kind of havoc a kickboxing harpy could bring!

[@yvoiry]

hahaha, that'd be interesting! xD but he's kind of a coward really, all bark and no bite hahaha

[@MarkosDantes]

Ah, I see. Still, something to consider, especially if you have a harpy character that has actual bird legs! Can you imagine what those talons would be capable of doing? Yeesh.

[@africanwilddog6685]

a handsome birb

[@vennkostudios]

I-I've never loved anyone's eyes till now He HaS sUcH nIcE eYeS

[@HBDiniz10]

* sees seagull * *I'M GAY*

[@beep4340]

UUUGH I CAN'T AGREE MOREEE

[@IRL_NEO]

such a pretty bab??? i would touch the wings they look so soft but nice aaa;;

[@yvoiry]

thank you!! and he'd proudly allow you to do so ;D

[@PsychoArtist90]

I feel like you were spilling water on yourself to unlock your inner bird while you drew a birb and showing off your multi-tasking skills by taking a bath AND drawing. +1 impressive friendo.

[@sokunthyvong4695]

Yep those are hot wings 😘

[@colew5219]

Hold the fuck up, seagulls aren't supposed to be hot

[@ParadoxicalIntention]

Finally, a man whose affection I can buy with french fries.

[@nemoandthefinders4946]

Never in my life have I thought that seagulls are capable of making my ovaries explode

[@personaltrash2520]

No... just no

[@squeeged]

not from a clikkie :'(

[@letthou5540]

I WAS SO CONFUSED BECAUSE YOU WERE DRAWING A MAN BUT YOU HAD A SEAGULL AS A REFERENCE WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY TO ME

[@yvoiry]

he was there for moral support

[@peksioart6706]

😂

[@Neuroticat.]

my town mascot is a seagull and they are the dopiest birds ever, they're nOt that hot tbh, they're clumsy little French-fry-stealing flying rats but that's okay this drawing is pure talent

[@kingvoiddd6057]

-sees bird man- I.. I am a disgusting fool..

[@Sesshimy]

*oh nO hE'S HOT*

[@talonthepyro1284]

*DRAWING POSES IS HARD* :/ legs legs, whats on the menu?

[@deffdefying4803]

Honestly thank god yvoi didn't have to draw the knobbly-knee-having-ass actual seagull legs that would have been torture

[@yvoiry]

haha first

[@kazukori]

reverse logic ur last

[@yvoiry]

i..... i am a fool...

[@epochii2756]

yvoi im lastest--

[@emmaren9796]

Merp/freshsans not really

[@firebreathingchickenduck4936]

I've Never laughed so hard

[@victoriousgray5479]

This comment section is *pure gold*

[@opencabinets]

the file name lmao same

[@bruh438]

the expression kills me *-*

[@thewonderfulwolfe6232]

This is absolutely amazing and I feel I have no choice but to subscribe. Shame on you.

[@rokumtg4253]

he got no hand.. *smirk muahahaha*pull he down* *run away* FOR SCIENCEEEEEE

[@yvoiry]

he has a belt silly

[@rokumtg4253]

yvoi lol but they too soft and white to

[@itakedelightincornbread6990]

Belt = invincibility

[@youllneverknowmyname5499]

According to Yvoi, he can transform his wings to hands, and if you're trying to pull his pants down, you'll struggle removing the belt, and that would take you time and Hal has the time to change his wings to hands to stop you from pulling his pants down.

[@abberantasian7220]

i like the irony of his eyes, such a warm color but yet cold and sharp.

[@binaxenon2632]

he looks like the video game villain that everyone falls for BECAUSE LOOK AT THAT FAAAAACE

[@chara8172]

*People are saying he's hot... But I just want that jacket*

[@Purplespectrum98]

such a pretty birb

[@weyarchive5451]

badass seagull ready to steal your fries

[@fatalflowergarden9310]

So apparently people think this looks like hawks,,,,, even though this was made in 2017,,,,,,smh 🤧

[@justabug1647]

i want him to eat me like a breadcrumb

[@juhasz-pappolivia7605]

Angors Mudds same

[@melodybunny1187]

he's PuReBeauTy caN I HUG HIM?!?

[@bunterscoth6352]

why am i not normal and attracted to characters that are drawn/animated. LIKE YOUR CHARACTER IS SO GOD DAMN HOT LIKE UGGHHH

[@aissuzhemire900]

The music + the drawing = tears of joy

[@Saith23]

I have the biggest crush on this character right now like holy shit

[@lurnki]

I can see him now, waddling around, in a huge jewellery shop maybe in the future, performing a huuugeass robbery, flailing his rarely used hand cos for some reason he can't use his wings in the shop, so he just knocks over everything. just...I love this

[@koletravis1415]

Never have i wanted to squish the face of a seagull so badly

[@lockematthews6049]

I keep seeing him about to say "I see you've got some chips there. Be a shame if you lost them"

[@SpirittheDemonWolf]

I never thought I'd want to screw a seagull, but here we are. Fuckin' nice dude!

[@kylamamber9080]

I swear this captures the attitude that Seagulls have. They're very confident and full of themselves. 😂

[@eileenasaurusrex730]

... okay but like....where are....all your subs???? you need way more???? like ???????????

[@Valeriayeyeo]

*touches his cheek* I need this birb in my life

[@vskozo5826]

*hOW THE FUCK CAN YOU MAKE A SEAGULL HOT*

[@Pironesia]

Hes so pretty... G-Gimme... Omigod... *_SSSKKKRREEEM_*

[@twodoubleofour]

*casually throws a piece of bread at computer screen*

[@akiosmunre4489]

I'm afraid of seagulls cuz they've come at me and stolen my food many times but this one I ain't mad at

[@senink]

That perspective 😩 You’re so skilled!

[@horusolis]

in a weird nostalgic mood and hopped back to your videos from my liked list and DAMN has it been a while. found your shit when I was 16 and you've forever inspired my shit. miss seeing your work and I hope you get the time to make more

[@yvoiry]

this is so sweet, thank you for the motivation boost ;v;

[@jaymonet7377]

Omg your style is goaals and your oc design is flawless!

[@ladypenumbra8891]

literally the way you draw mouths is so perfect and satisfying ;o;

[@sadclownschool9358]

I have never seen so many people swooning over a seagull before, and I DEFINITELY never expected to be included in it

[@codyt.6053]

that leg struggle is too real. came out so good though !

[@grimmmmmmme]

This is officially the most creative character designs I have seen in a while XD

[@RBIllustration]

This is so great, I love how unique his design is! I feel like I should hate him from the amount of times I've had unprovoked attacks by seagulls but I CAN'T. Your lines are so clean and he has so much personality in his face. Amazing work!

[@con9734]

this is absolutely insane dude i'm in love with your art and already slightly in love with hal THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this hooo boy

[@Finleycrosby6611]

Let's see... how much water did you end up with at the beginning of this drawing, compared to how much you ended up with at the end? Did anything survive? 😂

[@yvoiry]

I think my clothes absorbed about half of my glass :(

[@darks3n]

You should have soooo many more subscribers, your art is perfect! 11/10!

[@vin5196]

AnonymousArtist Agreed!

[@appleuser5806]

All I can think about is them stealing my food. Back off you weirdly handsome seagull

[@crimsonscarlett9904]

My parents took away my phone for a "while" but getting it back to seeing this, its pretty much an amazing early birthday present. By the way love your art style and it so satisfying watching you speedpaint, keep it up

[@oatsoss8504]

Never have I seen as artist so good as to turn a picture of a bird into something (debatably) fuckable until this day and let me tell u it's exhilarating

[@minhanginhpham4282]

I don't know what it is, but I've been coming back time and time and time again! Maybe it's the badass music, maybe it's the way you do lineart (mesmerizing to say the least) or maybe it's that f*cking smirk on his face! God, damn! I love it, all of it and yeah no surprise, subscribed

[@bonbons71]

I dont think ive ever cried over a speedpaint before oh my god this is so gorgeous
