Holy moley, it's a full set of character sheets!

These took far more work than I had originally anticipated. I got stuck tweaking the designs and layouts of the sheets for a very long time trying to make them look consistent while getting a good balance between providing all the essential information and not being overwhelming. You'll notice that I reuploaded both Chocolate's and Ruby's sheets; this is cause I made a few more edits to them since the last Worldbuilding post I put up.

After this project, though, I feel like I've also settled on a style of reference sheet that I'm quite happy with. Being able to go all-out with my own characters let me play around with things a lot, and replicating this layout in commissions while still being able to offer different levels of detail will be far easier to do with these first designs in hand.

These will serve as my "Main 6" characters for the majority of my personal projects. With these done, I'll be putting my Worldbuilding work on the back burner for a while, in favour of resuming more specific illustration projects. However, I still have many character design ideas I'd like to explore with them in future.

For starters, I already have concepts in mind of supporting characters for several of them (which are also hinted in some of their sheets). I also have many other related subjects I'd like to expand upon, like their abilities, quirks and backstories in the form of what I'm tentatively calling "Lore Pages." These will likely take the form of a more relaxed style of reference sheet that deals with specific parts of the characters' designs.

For now though, enjoy these character sheets - I hope you like them!

Hey everyone! Welcome to the first instalment of a new series I'll be working on to get things rolling with my upcoming projects. I'll predictably be calling it "Worldbuilding," because that's what it's about.

The ideas I've developed over the past few years have lived almost exclusively inside my own head up until now. Since I'm going to be exploring them in my art a lot more on this site, what better place to start than to get the most important parts down on paper?

These ideas tend to begin with a character concept and branch out from there. It therefore makes sense to start by fleshing out those characters with some design sheets and bios for people to understand them a little better when I start including them in scenes and stories.

In order to ease into things and help me get a better handle on these designs, I started out by doing a sketch page for each character. Some of them will be new to you, since I've not drawn them much or at all.

I hope you like them. You'll be seeing a lot more of them very soon!
