Satyr & Swordsman sneak peak explorations
🕑 Added 2024-08-13 17:12:44 +0000 UTCHello friends!
Ever since satyrs came up as a part of the theme/fanart poll I've had an idea rolling around in the back of my head that I'm starting to develop into something that could be a short comic for after Libby & Holly Ch3.
My plan would be to just make a short little diversion of it, not really take too long away from libby & holly or maybe even work on them both in tandem, which as I write it out, seems like an incredibly bad idea, knowing how I handle juggling projects😅
Art talk:
People have a lot of different philosophies when it comes to character design but my interest is always in clarity first and eroticism/personality second. I hope to be able to say something about the character by how they look, but also dress them for the kind of stage they're performing on, which in this case is an erotic one.
I think it's kinda fun for the Satyr's lower half to have spots at once reminiscent of a deer butt and also torn tights, like I've been drawing on Libby. It's kinda natural for the fur to taper off along clothing lines, and I'm not sure if it's going to be a pants waistline or a pantyline, yet.
The other thing I think is interesting will be figuring out how to make big, doe-y goat eyes (yeah I'm blending animals here hehe) I think it would be a fun character flourish but realistic goat eyes are just uncanny-- you can't tell where they're looking, and I think that'd be hard to get around for a character in a romantic story.
In any event, I'm toying around with different directions for this cutie's counterpart in the story, a swordsman of some sort. :) I feel like I haven't just drawn a dude in a weirdly long time.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!

You have a good memory! 🥰

I vote for the guy in the middle! The one on the bottom left is also cute, he reminds me of that lovely Greek vase illustration from last year. EDIT: I personally think it would be awesome to give him body hair. I love hatching (and I know you do, too), it would be a great opportunity to play around with patterns and such.

I give full permission to share them with the aforementioned interested party. I need to know if these pass the high standards of a satyr oc-haver 😂
Winton Kidd
It's promising, no? 👀
Zae
Omg my friend whose OC is a Satyr girl would LOVE THESE!
Foco

❤️🙏 I'm thinking arcadian landscapes full of flowers and trees for a setting 🤔 gently blowing grasses and all that 😌

A bitchin' fun fact is that horses also have horizontal pupils and their eyeballs actually *rotate inside their skull* to keep their pupils parallel to the ground when they put their heads down to graze, it's wild
Zack
My understanding is that the horizontal pupils are a prey animal thing; they confer better peripheral vision (for like constantly scanning the horizon) at the expense of focused binocular vision. So for a biped like a satyr I think it makes perfect sense to go with round pupils if you prefer. (There, now it's ~science~)

Her cutie fluffy elbows😩
Ethan
Oh this is gonna be amazing
Richard Tater
Love these sketches and excited to see some more dudes in your work! Fun fact, while most deer species lose their spots a few months after they're born there are at least 5 known species that keep their spots into adulthood!
