I’m proud to say that the space cowboy was my board😌

[@markheathcliff111]

You are so cool omg

[@RebekkaWittrup]

@@markheathcliff111 thank you, I know 🤟

[@ThemermaidPearl]

Did you want the cowboy to be a girl?

[@RebekkaWittrup]

@@ThemermaidPearl nope, I didn’t really care as long they had dreadlocks 🤷

[@quinta0w035]

​@@RebekkaWittrupwhat if it didn't, would you still be upset? (I hope I didn't sound rude it's not my intention please don't see it in such way! 🙇🏾‍♀️)

[@vessilin]

omg!!! teehee the android girl was my board! you did her so much justice omg… i’m obsessed!!!

[@melsills5436]

I can totally see the cowboy and the android being in the same world. Maybe the cowboy is in the outskirts of a big Martian city while the android works inside it

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

that would be perfect!

[@mia_mozzerella8924]

you: “have low expectations” also you: *creates amazing well thought out and charming character designs*

[@f1zz-k1d89]

Just wanted to say thanks so much for being careful to avoid Roma stereotypes with the last character- It's a think I don't see people taking into account and it's great that you made that effort. Love the art, your details and color work are so gorg !!

[@JoJo_Martin_3054]

Girl I think you outdid yourself with this video. The quality of the art plus the origins of the characters are just chefs kiss. Not only do I notice the mad improvement in the technical art but you’re creativity is just improving tremendously. Keep it up girl! You’re hard work does not go unnoticed 😊❤

[@Lilstarnerd]

thank you so much!!!!

[@cr1msonfr3ak]

asa a rroma person i appreciate you going out of your way and doing research in order to avoid making a racially insensitive design. most people do not give us that courtesy and its rare for us to even be mentioned in a positive light. i appreciate you and that effort

[@alyzzzea1864]

Hi there! Your art is so so so amazing. I’m a professional character designer and have a helpful tip for you! I’d really look in to studying shape language and exaggeration of proportions. Your costumes are amazing and tell a great story, and I think molding the body underneath the costume will only benefit your design journey. Maybe our space cowboy has really long/lanky legs and broad shoulders, maybe our robot lady has super wide hips to attract patrons, etc. Good luck and I can’t wait to see where your characters go!! 💕💕

[@mael2039]

I can't help it, I always end up gravitating to sketchbook videos and it's what I enjoy watching most and working on most. Big pieces are stunning but sketchbook pieces always have that certain something that doesn't translate anywhere else. Even when they're not as technically good or well done or thought out it's still got that sketchiness umphf you know? I just love sketchbook videos and working in my sketchbook, even when the art is shitty I still love that the most. I love the last oc you made the most, but they're all so pretty and cool. The first one has amazing hair.

[@chickenanddoodles]

i love the sapphic representation with the android character

[@vanillacreame153]

It’s so incredible to see you challenging yourself in this part of art. I resonate a lot with the struggle of character design, so this was really really inspiring to me! So thank you

[@tattooedjudge]

absolutely NEED a full comic for that last character's story oh lord

[@Yunaxbear]

FR😭

[@willowstardew2457]

there's a webtoon called marionetta which isn't exactly like the last character's story but it does share the same sort of aesthetics and is about a ghostly circus! i'd definitely recommend checking it out!

[@jacquellin4111]

Great job on all of these, would love to buy a print of the AI escort though she's my fave 😍

[@n3w529]

a tip from one artist to another- make sure when using alcohol markers to be in a well-ventilated room or wearing a mask. apparently the fumes can be really bad for you if you're exposed to too much. I used to use alcohol markers quite a lot on pieces, like not how you do it but on every part likely 10-20 different layers of markers (yes i'm crazy when it comes to colors). I noticed when using alcohol markers so much my lungs were kinda hurting so i looked it up and found that out. I deal with asthma pretty badly, and with how intensively i use them i would be exposed to a lot of fumes, so I just decided to use watercolor and other mediums, rather than markers. just wanted to mention this in case you didn't know it, cause I had no clue about it. (I commented this on another artist's vid to inform them, and used it here just to inform ya, your art looks great btw!)

[@auretta5684]

I am, once again, here instead of studying. and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[@miothefroghater9650]

I have a character design exercise with my friend, we pick up some products (usually food and other things we find on supermarkets) and make characters based on it, flavor, smell, shapes, colors, almost everything and also make a personality based of it

[@ChantelleArts]

I love this idea so much but I’ve never seen it for Pinterest boards, it’s a fantastic idea and worked so well! I think my favourite painting is the second one, I love how you’ve included a bit of a backstory for each of them too 😊

[@oneinathousand2156]

I can just imagine the android being surrounded by sci-fi Art Deco architecture, stuff like Metropolis (1927), Bioshock, Gadget: Past as Future, The Rocketeer, etc. all those imposing geometric shapes fit dark sci fi settings like a glove.

[@SimsFreakGaming]

We are our own worst critics, so I totally get it! I really think you're overthinking your work because they all turned out amazing and gorgeous!

[@Reddogmeeks]

✨❤Wake up babes, Lilstarnerd posted❤✨

[@chocogibby8261]

AH YES FINALY!!! YT RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WORKING BETTER NOW!! Finally a trad artist!!! Been looking for a new trad artist to sub to and I absolutely LOVE you art 🥺❤✨

[@skaibby]

You are unbelievably talented, your artwork and stories are truly magnificent and something special, keep up the good work! You are absolutely incredible

[@ellaelisabet]

the space cowboy reminds me of bb8! love all three of them!

[@navidad8510]

Are you kidding me I love these!! So creative and beautiful well done

[@nebirdula5046]

These are all so wonderful and creative! Love the story and worldbuilding around each character. I'd definitely enjoy more videos like this!

[@isabellechapmanart]

oh girl, this is such a good idea!! and the art *chef's kiss*

[@kimwicks5540]

I'm obsessed with android girl omg!!! Literally made me wanna write/read a story with that plot

[@missnylorac]

Really really cool! I absolutely love all of the characters and the backstories were amazing! so much fun to listen to and watch!

[@noranason6521]

this is amazing! i am so impressed.

[@xmultra9817]

this is the first video ive seem from you as it appeared on my homepage n im soooo interested in ur channel already!! these were so neat to see and hear ur thoughts abt the characters

[@SpookieVonDookie]

love that these characters could all exist in Fallout

[@WhatTheKel33]

one thing i love doing is making characters in a section of my pinterest board, with various neat shirts, glasses, shoes pants etc that i find.

[@user-vw4xp5nt9f]

love!!!

[@TheOnePandemonium]

This is an amazing challenge I'm thinking of doing myself :) The results are nothing short of amazing! Your input was super interesting and proved to me that you ARE creative

[@fuzzydragons]

LOVE the last design🥰 would make a great real outfit

[@lifewithkyo]

Really loved the second character so much !!

[@lizachka1482]

these are super good and you do have a knack for it. more plez!

[@RachelleByersArt]

❤ your character designs

[@jordanallen7496]

The last one was AMAZING. Nice creepy vibe with a redemption sort of story.

[@khalilmoss1315]

not we on here fangirling pricklyalpaca ... .but we here for it cause me too.

[@rpdrfan2047]

"i'm not a creative" and goes on to create beautiful and gorgeous characters 😞

[@skelefreakarts]

Lol makes me want to do this too!! :) thank you for the awesome video

[@martinaodell2866]

Ah! I get you and Prickly Alpaca mixed up 😅 that's so cool they inspired you

[@siriusleenott4628]

I feel like the Cowboy and the Android girl could definitely be in the same universe!

[@Lilstarnerd]

oooooooh omg!!!

[@mimimoomoo2902]

The robot legs from the second on are the legs of a robot girl from the movie alita battle angel it’s a really good movie that I don’t think many people know about but I saw it in theaters and loved it I also really like how you color with markers and sketch theses characters are beautiful

[@Lasangeeater]

I actually love alll of them and In my eyes they look like from all of ther universes they end up together in a zombie apocalypse

[@kosmikastaway1285]

Absolutely LOVED this! Where was the Pinterest board request made? Would love to submit my own next time! Also would love to see a technical breakdown of the supplies and techniques used in designs like this! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!

i think i posted a request on my community page, as well as at least once on my Instagram story!!

@@Lilstarnerd thanks for thw reply 😊 followed you on IG not long after this video I believe. Not sure what community is though, is it the Patreon community?

@@Lilstarnerd Thanks! I've never used KZbin communities before but will definitely keep an eye on it now 😁

[@jocelynecupcake]

Will you do a part 2? I'd love to send in one of my pins and see how you do a character based off them

[@wilsontappan]

is there any way you could make a like body or pose tutorial? because I cannot draw bodies for the life of me and your way of drawing them is so good it would mean a lot to me if you could but if you can't no problem

Does anyone know how to find these kinds of Pinterest boards? I would love to try this for myself🤩

[@KimbraCheesy8]

Can you send the link of the video that inspired you to do character designs. 🥺 Also it goes without saying that you killed the designs. Keep on going🏃‍♀️

[@cydney1545]

they mentioned prickleyalpaca inspiring them and this is the latest of kiras series of videos of the send-me-pictures-i-make-illustration kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipayfaeXgL-khpo honestly, she has a lot on her channel and is definitely worth the watch in my opinion! I've watched almost all of her videos and her character design videos and cosplay creations to fantasy clothes are just amazing in my opinion
