This looks like it would have been a good cast for a cartoon in the early/late 90s

It reminds me of that old game I think it is still around though, worms Armageddon

MrBrabbel OP t1_j6dv32y wrote

There is even a "new" version of it!

There's several. There's a cool 3D one that doesn't play like a side scroller. Not sure what it's called anymore since worms 3d is just modernized side scrolling like the OG iirc, like just the character models 'look' 3d, without the 1st person environment

AnimusCorpus t1_j6giq2c wrote

Worms 3D is definitely full 3D. I own it.

And to be honest with you, I prefer the 2D games. The third axis makes some of the more skilled shots near impossible to make, and so there was always a bigger reliance on hitscan, melee and homing weapons. Which isn't as fun imho.

The latest 2D one has weapon crafting and vehicles, which feel a bit odd, but otherwise it's pretty faithful to Armageddon, the most famous 2D version.

I love them - the worm is my favorite. Looking at them you’ve put so much personality into them, I was practically waiting for them to start moving and speaking. Would be really cool animated characters.

Yeah the worm for me as well! It looks so surprised, yet convinced of its own power. Like it just discovered it can take on the world with its electric tail (ง’̀-‘́)ง

The bear looks like it could be a character played by David Harbour and it would make sense. And the green (thing?) is that Mojo Jojo? These are really cool!

These are amazing. They could be from a TV show or a video game or something.

Oshootman t1_j6fp3bn wrote

Is it the teddy cyborg from Conker's Bad Fur Day?

Are these actual existing characters like people are suggesting or are we just injecting our own nostalgia?

2

MrBrabbel OP t1_j6h1wy2 wrote

Injecting own nostalgia. I dont no 70 to 80% of the things that are said. For example conker bad fur day, but things like earthwotm jim i have heard of. I loved my childhood (born in 1987) with all the cartoons so there are influences from that time a lot i guess!

GrapeJuice2227 t1_j6ehlzw wrote

The mushroom looks like something out of Plant vs Zombies

The bottom right one reminds of Megaman X 4. The bear also looks like Grizzly Slash from X5

My favourite is worm, just by lloking at him you can say he has a tragic backstory.

Bear reminds me of Shardik from The Dark Tower. All it needs is a little dish on his head.

Bordeaux107 t1_j6ene65 wrote

Super cool designs, love the mushroom one especially. I could swear I've seen that bird guy somewhere else before - it's something about the face, seems so familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it

PanthosStorm t1_j6erqe4 wrote

Style reminds me of Pinky and the Brain. Love the work

2

illy_the_cat t1_j6f0gb0 wrote

Really liking the style and creativity here. Loving the bird having that extra jagged beak.

So is it a base colour with the pens and then pencils on top for shading, depth and additional detail?

2

MrBrabbel OP t1_j6fc9km wrote

Haha thanks and indeed markers as base and pencils for shading

CalumDuff t1_j6f67oi wrote

I've always wondered; is there a trick for blending colours so well without also ruining the markers?

2

MrBrabbel OP t1_j6fcc83 wrote

And its easier/softer to use (for me)

1

CalumDuff t1_j6g0hpm wrote

Sorry, I think you may have misread my question.

In the past, I've ruined markers when using them to colour drawings. I found that the inks already on the page bleed into the markers and stain them, ruining the original colour.

Do you have any tips for how to make the colours blend so evenly as you managed to with these drawings, but without wrecking your markers?

2

MrBrabbel OP t1_j6gz2ph wrote

Ohw sorry! Yeah i use the markers as a base colour and all the shading i do with colour pencils!

2

CalumDuff t1_j6gzw7n wrote

It kills me how simple that is, yet it never occurred to me.

I'm really inexperienced when it comes to art, because I never had the focus to improve until I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 25 years old. There are so many simple tips like that which are probably second nature to artists like yourself that I just feel like I never caught on to because I gave up on even trying to be good at such a young age.

Thanks so much for sharing, I really appreciate it and I'll have to try it myself some time!

MrBrabbel OP t1_j6h0oa1 wrote

Just doing it for a year now, before i just used markers only. And started 3,5 years ago with learning (i am 35 now) to draw for serious (always doodled a little bit). But now i will never stop learning, drawing is addictive haha

The apple is fucking hilarious. I love the idea of someone adding eyes and legs to a regular fruit and boom…it’s an Android

Does your Apple Spider have bullets for eyes? Can't stop looking at it. Nice work.

When i come across something i found intresting for it i will. But i love drawing from imagination more!

That green one on the right DEFINITELY had inspiration from the Jak n Daxter franchise. I've seen that exact piercing on that exact type of ear all over that universe.
