@Mariana Santos I think the key is not to put all your eggs into one basket. Try to spread out your ideas on to different characters! I think what can also help is if you think of different body shapes and archetypes! Letโ€™s say youโ€™re designing an athletic sci fi character and you give them some of sort of exoskeleton. Ask yourself. Do they really need it? Unless, theyโ€™re using for a very specific task or ability. Iโ€™d say take that exoskeleton idea and place it on to maybe a less able body looking character! ๐Ÿ˜† hope this makes sense .
Studying other artists
Hello! I've been studying some artists that really inspire me in terms of style and anatomy! I'm kinda satisfied with how much I could learn just by drawing from ref and trying to understand how they simplified anatomy, proportions and colors! Also, would love to hear feedbacks and to know others artists that inspire you guys!

Awesome studies Mariana! Also, me personally Iโ€™m a big admirer of Hichamโ€™s work. And then adding some TB Choi and Nesskain into that mix! I did something similar where I wanted to study Hicham's anatomy and line economy! So i took a few poses off Pintrest and tried to place different body archetypes in his style as close as i could!

Is the community still happening?

This is the character I made. The idea was of a kind of 'illegal' merchant with little ants as minions that help him set up the tent and sell or exchange all shorts of things like weapons, poisons, cursed object and even dangerous creatures. I didn't draw the two front legs because it would hide the rest but it has 6 legs.

@Filip Vujevic ๐Ÿ˜† no I feel you. But wax on wax off right? But going back to the design. Me personally Iโ€™d make those pincers bigger! And really bring out the spikes of the head!
