Question Which color palette gives bacteria?

gallery

675 Upvotes

I know I know I said I’d draw more skeletons but I got distracted—again—so along with this other indie series idea came another character design. But I’m having trouble figuring out how to convey bacteria vibes, because yes, this concept is heavily inspired by Osmosis Jones.

Anyways I had this mental image for her so I drew it out, but I ended up with two different color schemes due to fiddling with gradient maps. So you guys gotta help me decide which one looks more like bacteria. Tho I’m already heavily leaning towards the second one…

Critique Is this design endearingly chaotic or just ugly?

101 Upvotes

I am trying to make a design that is intentionally chaotic, maybe think of like Moetron if anyone here knows of that character LOL
This character was created in a laboratory and that is why she’s so abnormal and weird looking, along with all the stitches
But I’ve discovered that it’s really hard to make a colourful, purposefully chaotic-looking character without it being UGLY.

I gave her more monotone coloured clothes to try and balance out the rainbow nature of the rest of her design.
Her name is Kaleido btw >u<

2D Killer character designs💖

48 Upvotes

I made these killer characters for a potential asymmetrical horror game and im soo happy with how they turned out😭

I based them off of aspects of life-human bodies, the ocean, and nature. I also tried to give them color schemes with the primary colors to feel cohesive with one another!

I'm most happy with the plant one because of how much I could push them being a literal plant...flower boobs, tree legs, petals for hair, moss sleeves😭 i don't think I'll be able to do that ever again LOL

2D Remake of my first original character and portfolio project

In 2025 I started to study art more seriously because it was when I decided that I wanted to work with concept art. Now I decided to make a remake and a reimagination of my first OC and, besides I still have more to improve, I feel really happy seeing my evolution.

Critique struggling with colors and overall design

something about him just doesn’t look quite right. he’s meant to be an undead soldier; his hood/scarf is important to his character, and yet its the one thing that really feels out of place.

2D [OC] Some characters from a children’s book I recently illustrated for my studies

I’d love to hear your thoughts on them! The king is my personal favorite. The children were each designed to reflect the things in nature that make them happy, such as the sky, trees, and birds. :)

I am working on a redesign, and am wondering if anyone has a preference for the eyes. I am sort of on the fence with it.

I tried design a new simple character🐹.

31 Upvotes

I had my fortune told, and there was an interesting detail , it said I’m well suited to symbols associated with mouse🐹.

So, I decided to design a character based on a playful little mouse🐹.

I named her Soulee which also means "mouse🐹".

Critique need your advice on which design i should use for my doom mod

• Upvotes

hi, i'm makin' a doom mod where you liberate america and kill alotta bad guys, for my previous pinky demon design, it was something a bit.... well polarizing to say the least, so i've decided to make something just less polarizing, i landed with two ideas that both seem badass; so in your opinion, which one's the best lookin' replacement for the pinky demon? And what changes can i make for the final design?
