I see you're having more luck with the hair than I am :P
Thank you! (I don't believe you, though and am looking forward to see yours!)

Is that... are you looking up pictures of Enfield SMLEs for gun reference?

Edit: wait what do you mean alt for framtung!?!?

EDIT: Googles Krag-Jørgensen 1898. Will try to make it recognizable :D

Iii googled bayonet? But maybe I should google Enfield SMLEs instead?
And I loved your weapon and the concept of mounting knives and axes in innovative ways, but I thought IRL this bayonet/halberd maybe would make someone tip over? Since it's on the tip? Notice the question mark after alt for framtung :P I think I'm going with that version anyway, since it looks nice ;) (Too much garlic? Nonono there's no such thing)

Here are some sketches of Karri. Body posture is challenging, so I had to reference most of these, but I hope I'll be able to make one that is less sketchy.

These look great!! And I totally agree, posture is... interesting. I try and use references a lot but then it looks even wonkier than before so I just end up using myself (which is why ALL the hands i draw have short fingers and big palms. allllll of them)

A rifle is a rifle (Lalli's rifle looks highly generic). The SMLE is just very recognisable to me because I've seen it a lot in the flesh before.

You're not a very direct one, are you.
Actually, I've already started drawing your insert. I just haven't told you because, like I said, I work over a long time frame (and I have poor, neglected responsibilites) :P.

Curry, I was more talking about AG's Frankenstein-hair... Turns out bangs aren't my thing. :P

Ta-da! Haiz and Curry because they drew all the everybody, and Almond Goddess because she drew me. (I'm sorry about the crimes to hair that were done to-day. :P)

(it's kinda hard to see but the falcon has a rodent)

AHHHH I can't believe I missed this piece last night! It looks fantastic! :D

*sidles in through back door*
I haven't been able to come on the forum much over the last couple of days due to study needs, but you have all been really busy! I wish I could comment on each picture individually, but it would take quite a while.
Of course, when I say "study" I really mean "procrastinate 90% of the time while mourning my poor neglected responsibilities", so I also spent quite a bit of time sketching some other people's OCs...

Sorry for the bad quality photos/scrappy artwork -- I'm slightly better at drawing guns then people, which is strange seeing that I have only occasionally seen guns in real life, and have no idea how they work...
I am hoping to draw something more interesting soon but it might take a while, so don't hold your breath :P
I wish I could contribute more to this thread, but I'm just not that that creative

Ahhhhh, these are so pretty! We all look so cute! I think I am actually falling in love with your art? You've got such a clean, subtle style. I love how you draw expressions so much help. I will anxiously await more examples of your beautiful drawings! :0

Also, I study pretty much the exact same way. What a coincidence.

*cries because you are so lovely* ;-;
Thank you! I've never really thought that I'm that great at art, although I love to draw, but... oh my gosh you are so kind! I'm so happy you like them <3

Okay. So. Some of you have drawn my character's face at some point - Haiz, Curry, and Oliga - so I wanted to reciprocate, but time is a difficult resource to manage. Anyway. Drawings.



Okay. So. Haiz. I combined your oc with the picture you posted very early in the thread of you and your cape blowing in the wind. Hence why you have a cape now. Also you end up looking a tad boyish - but no matter what I did, I couldn't make it look more like your face. The more details I added the greater the distortion. Sorry. D:



Curry. I have decked you out in what I presume is cleanser ware. Tired and dirty after a hard day of burninating the unclean.
Mask and goggles because a full face gas mask would make it hard to convey that is in fact your character in the picture. Your hair game is too strong for my skill level, so I kind of butchered it.

Oliga. Yours is a work in progress. It turns out I can't draw cats for shit. They all come out looking like Mikkel. I have now a whole page of disturbingly human looking cats. I am calling it quit for tonight. I want to draw an norwegian forest cat and the fur around the face make it look like Mikkel's sideburn.



What a glorious animal.

This is what I am going for. Top right panel.


(If anyone is interested in doing the whole drawing thing - just let me know.)

Fimbulvarg and Curry: Almond-Goddess' ssssona looks so lovely in both of your styles! I really like how you guys made her interact with the falcon!

Elrew: Another cutie has joined us! Welcome! :D Soon we're going to be a whole platoon or something ;D

Almond-Goddess: That lineless style is amazing!  :o It feels like it's been taken right out of a story book!


Since we're so many now, could we include the link to the google doc in the first comment in the thread so it's easy to find? :)
