AstronautRobot

Haven't post this account on a while, still figuring out what exactly it is for XD

If you've been struggling to find your 'identity' or look as an artist, you might want to check this one. I though it could be fun to bring my main account icon character's design journey. This is for my primary account @astronautrobot

It does look like an Astronaut, yes. Does it look like a Robot? Not so much....

Also, some concepts I had for the helmet XD

I did tried to go full machine, but nothing really stuck. I spent a lot of time trying to make it look like a real life space robot

Doesn't look that bad by it self, but not what I was looking for me.

Reblog for image limits on posts XD

These are some concepts and options on the next design. Trying to find the balance

I found the eyes way to creepy XD Still, I tried to play around for a while thinking they could grow on me eventually... They didn't...

This is also when I introduced the name. I've been using it to name folders and stuff for myself, but I genuinely forgot I've never mentioned to you guys.

Then we have the latest design. I absolutely adore it and I believe I'll stick with it for a while.

It is full of references XD I'll make a post explaining them later, tho you may have found some of them. Here's the lineart so you can have a better look

Is the design of the character I present myself as relevant to my art? Not really XD I'm not even using it right now, I have Cyn as my icon at the moment.

Is it fun to do? Absolutely. Should I have the freedom to change it's design as many times as I want? Yes. Do I wish I had the final design sooner so people would get used to related it to me sooner? Also yes XD But part of being an artist is getting used to chances.

Do what feels right in the moment, but don't block yourself from the idea of evolving a concept. External criticism is great for your growth, but you also have the right to be critical of your own art.

Just don't be extremely hard on negative on yourself. Try thinking: Wow, this is good. But I bet I can make it great! Everything can be improved. Is not a 'oh, no. I did it this way and there's no going back and make it better.'

I personally change my physical look all the time. For real, I picture myself as my real life custom character XD So it only feels natural to do the same with the one I present myself as in here.

This is C-8, the @astronautrobot . Thanks for coming to my TED talk XD

More character design rambling XD

hice esto y me da flojera terminarlo xd

pense que seria bonito ponerle a la pomni un vestido realmente no tenia una idea clara mas que una referencia de pinterest talvez algún dia utilice ese pequeño diseño para algo

me gusta la idea de variarle un poco la ropa, siempre conservando algunas cosas de su diseño la idea con ella es que puede cambiar su aspecto, pero lo que le recuerda a caine siempre estaría presente =====================

I made this and I'm too lazy to finish it xd

I thought it would be nice to put Pomni in a dress. I really didn't have a clear idea other than a Pinterest reference. Maybe one day I'll use that little design for something.

I like the idea of ​​varying her clothes a little, always keeping some things of his design. The idea with her is that she can change her appearance, but what reminds her of Caine would always be present

Estaba haciendo algunos sketches para calentar antes de dibujar cuando vi esto XD

Pensé en colorearla pero no me terminé de decidir por donde colocar qué color

No sé si está remotamente cerca de lo que tenías en mente para este diseño, pero me encanta la idea de que varíe su ropa
