Well, this is a experiment on where i attempt to explian the origin of my characters until they became the current version of themselves; despite i don't have all drawings of old versions of them characters, so with that i'm going to start with the first of them all: Sky Pixelton

The Pitch:

It was about 2016 when her main idea came up, back in those days I had a YouTube channel and teachnically i was part of a spanish channel that was part of a Network of channels and they actually helped some indies to develop their stuff, so i asked them "Hey, how can i get my own ideas to come up as official stuff" and they answered to me "You need to pitch the idea, you can simply start with sketches of characters if you want", with that in mind i did a quick sketch, as though at that point i had no idea on how to draw and tried my best looking at some refferences and there were 3 chracters: A guy named Anthony, a small rabbit named Zoe and... a long ponytailed girl named Sky Pixelton.

The Original Story:

The original story was something like this; Antohony's grandphather dies from elder and leaves him with a very old game, a game that never released named Skybladers. As soon as he tries it, the console glitches out getting free all the creatures and enemies from the game, included the protagonist... Sky, who saves anthony's life but quickly says that it won't end there, as the main villain Lord Over also escaped and probably would try con conquer his world, she will help him to keep everyone inside the game after defeating them.

This story was developed back in 2016, Glitch Techs was not even a thing, her story was simple and was based on the classic "Fish out of Water" story, Sky was a game character and had to get used to the everyday life, Pixelton was a chosen second name by herself to not call attention on anyone around, but the story wouldn't have many more characters aside from her, the villain and Anthony and Zoe so that's when i decided to actually tweak her story into a mix of sci-fantasy setting and added a few more original chracters tied to her such as Lylat, Cacao and Renin.

But as solution, because i didn't wanted to erase the whole game story i thought for her i preffered to keep the original story as an alternate universe and the canon story is as follows:

At a planet with no name, uptop the clouds exists the great kingdom of suspiro, invaded constantly by creatures, a group known as the Skybladers protect what remains of the old kingdom but keeping the habitants safe from the creatures and monsters that find their way to their cloud utopia. Sky has trained to be part of them all her life and now she can demonstrate her great sword skills to protect them all.

The Desing:

Her very first desing didn't changed much from what i did first on paper and on digital, the main inspiration for her were from the anime i was currently watching at that time, the all well known Yoko Littner with a big ponytail tied up hair and yellow eyes that were the core for her first ever desing, but i wanted to give her something different compared to Yoko, she would be a swordswoman with a uniform kind of clothing, as it was the first ever desing i remade from my very old desings it had a bit of a not so good anatomy and even got mistaken by Shantae at some points, she obviously needed to have some changes.

That's how i came up to my current and favorite desing for her, her uniform changed from grey colours to blue, the hair became way more puffier and got to desing her even on the leg side, with stockings as her favorite kind of clothes to wear; as for her sword it changed from a stereotypical one to a flame sword inspired by Guinsoo's FuryBlade from League of Legends and the lightsabers from starwars, mixing in a flaming sword named "Rizzo's FuryBlade" (not very creative, but usefull) and as i started doing more drawings she became my main subject for testing new sorts of drawing poses and stuff as i can draw Sky from memory completely.

Name:

I had clear that Sky was going to be her name from the very start, after all i got the game's name first "Skybladers" and from that i thought that probably her name should be similar to the game's name, at some times i thought that she could be named Vera, but that part didn't convinced me but i didn't discarded it at all, Vera is still part of her actual name but i'm not going to tell everything about that part for now. Sky in both canon and alt universes is named the same way, Pixelton is her chosen made up last name, even tho is not even real.

All Sky's Inspirations:

• Yoko Littner (Main inspiration)
• Jedi Knigts (Fight Style/Sword experience)
• Guinsoo's FuryBlade (Weapon inspiration)
• Princess Daisy (Personality, cheerful)

Random Facts About Her:

• Sky is ambidextrous, but likes to use more her left hand
• Hates to have her legs uncovered, only does it while wearing swimsuits. Prefers to wear stockings.
• Her favorite food is the Banana Split
• At one point, her original name would have been Sky Scarlett
• If she were from the real world, Sky would be Canadian.
• Despite her not being my first ever thought OC, she was the first i ever drawn.

And that's all for this blog, i want to make a few more on my oldest characters, because some of them really changed a lot since i got their ideas in my head until making them a full OC, but there is not much i can share of them as their stories are frozen in time or have non-canon interactions between them unless i say so in the drawing's description. I may do antoher of this soon as i have still characters to talk about.

Been long since the last blog; seems like i had 0 impact on here since i started but i don't care i'll get some visits some day soon or late. Also this june i'll do 1 year since i started uploading my drawings here. So since that time i got better in some stuff like bodies, poses, colours and other things.

I still draw my things in paper, then i use GIMP and the mouse to make the things go to life, it's longer than doing things in full digital but i have no other way to work; this is the way i have to do things for now. But someday i'll be able to do it in other way.

It's all i had to say, not much else really; it's been really calmed and i really don't have much to say. So yeah, been doing some drawings that i'm finally liking more.

Ok time to talk about feelings, i have uploaded 24 different artworks (if can be called that way) and since my 1st i only got 1 single comment on 1 of the pics.

I like doing my things, i really do. But even with known characters as some of the last ones i've made such as the one with Yoko Littner and Saki Nikaido; at least the 1st one is well known and barely has 1 fav and a vote. I still don't know what do i have to do to gain some feedback, which i'm looking for it since day 1 of publishing.

It's a bit depressing that people that try to share what they do are slightly ignored unless you have an absolute perfect art style that everyone is going to call out as magnificent (i've done it, some really have a good talent for that) but some need a bit of love on the work done as well.

More than a feelings i noticed it's more like a complain post, but as it has my thoughts and my frustrations i didn't knew how to name it. So i'll just leave it here and do my next work i guess. See you soon!

Recently i've been uploading things that i've been doing under certain feelings of loneliness, but always with the idea of getting better and better... but i still see no feedback on what i do, even if i do with characters people know, like i did with Yoko Littner a few days back.

It's been hard to improve alone, with some video tutorials that even being good, some seem to be not so detailed in the explanation on how to do certain things.

Right now i'm working on the next one to upload, i need to do the digital lines and colour, it is about certain mouse of my creation and a new character that will be introduced there. See you soon and please... i'd appreciete any sort of feedback on my work.

Summertime is here, and with that comes new things to do... so after helping at home i will do things to practice. Yesterday i published Cacao which was a practice of posing and right now i did a work on making a drawing of a 3D model, which is hard to do especially if that character has too many tridimensionality. I hope it's ok to be seen as a well done drawing and as improve potential. I think i'm going to take a bit of watermelon since it's summertime.

See you soon!

Sneak Peak of next character, is a fan-art from an already existing character.

Summetime for short... i'm working on something related to summer, it will be here tomorrow, is still on the work and could take me longer to do, i'm doing the lineart and later between today and tomorrow i'll be working.

And this is a confession i must do, my digitalization of my drawings are made on gimp... with the mouse. As i still haven't found one program with a smoother pencil and free to use, i have to stay with this one i have found a size which i can do lines but that's it, and as i'm doing them that way it's hard to track the real line i used for the on paper drawing.

Maybe with practice i can do a better work with the mouse, but right now it's hard to track and makes my work look a bit off sometimes; so i'll try my best.

June is almost at his middle point and i have to share what i have planned on drawings... things that i still wish they had more views and feedback but i'm going to say what i'm going to give:

• Summer Start Drawing featuring Sky, Lima and idk if any other character... i have no experience with large amount of characters in 1 place
• New Character, she cannot be seen by many but the ones that can see her have a good time and friendship
• Possible NSFW art, to determinate who's gonna be.

I was in a good teaching group, but i made a mistake recently and had to get out of it and i will be back in a long time... it's for the best; that doesn't mean i cannot improve myself as an artist and as a person... so world, throw what you want to me and i'll do my best. Still have to deal with some works for my classes so i'll try to make everything in a balanced time.

See you soon!

Also, i just reached Level 3 Yay!

I feel very down, and i don't know what to believe in or not... specially in fan-art world where a piece you can see as nice other can say it's wrong.

All i do is just not enough, i try to be my best self but all i end doing is being a failure; nothing i do is good or gets what it deserves... except when i do something wrong, then everyone goes to jump and point those failures constantly. I had plans of doing a thing for June 21st but now i don't even want to see a paper, pencil or anything related for a time because i feel like trash in a world that is not made for me.

So... yeah, i'll go to the corner and cry a bit for a few weeks or months; because it's all i deserve for now.

Well, June is a rough month; classes are about to end in a few weeks and i need to give most of my time to that before drawings but i managed to do a few more and i got here one of my latests: Blanca, a zombie that i though of a long time ago and now finally has an appearance; i have plenty more ideas but i don't know when i'll be able to do them.

For now enjoy the new girl, she's a sweet potato if you do not make her angry.

Finally time to share my things here, i've been doing stuff for a while but started sharing my art in other places for a time; i though it was the right momento to share them here too, so with that i'm going to try new things like sharing my drawings here so many more people can see what i do, i'm still learning so it may be sometimes a bit strange to look at. But hoping you like it.
