Sticky Situation
Added 2018-09-05 16:00:37 +0000 UTCSomething a bit different from the usual stuff today. For those who arent familiar, the character on the front/left is Shantae, being surprised by a slime girl, from the Half-Genie Hero game. (Good game, recommended.)
This was one of the hardest commissions Ive done, and it was actually requested about a year ago but back then I didnt really feel confident about it, so it wasnt until July I was asked about it again and I decided to finally give it a go.
There were mainly 3 things that made it really challenging for me, especially when factoring all 3 together.
First obviously the fact its a couple pic, and I always have a hard time getting characters to interact naturally. Then I had never drawn a slime girl, so I wasnt really sure how to get the right texture and do the whole gooey look, so there was a lot of "figuring it out as I go" kind of thing. And lastly, Shantae is usually drawn in a pretty cartoony style, so it was also challenging to convert her into my own style while keeping the essence of the character mostly intact.
Shantae is also a very forward/expressive character so I also tried to give her a fitting expression, with an obvious surprised look, rather than the more subtle stoic expressions I usually do.
Well I hope people like it anyhow.

Lol but you knew that wasnt gonna be a slime anymore (and I like how she turned out anyway) That was probably the last original character I designed actually

And very glad you finally did a SlimeGirl (lmao remind me the "slime" one i com you XD). A very sexy one, i like her color and the "slime-flesh" done for her body. The texture is really good. Also very pleased to see Shantae ! One of my fav' character (and yes half-genie is such a good game :D love it !). You pretty nailed her here, by design and expression. It's not easy to change the style of a pre-existing character, so double kudo for making a splendid Shantae in your style ! :)

2018-09-05 18:43:51 +0000 UTCI really like this! I really like Shantae's expression, she looks really good in your style. The goo girl also looks really good, I find that some artists just draw goo girls as 'colourful girls with a couple drips on them', but she looks really gooey here and it's really good. Thanks for the requests again!
