Rock-chan & messy sketch wips :P
Added 2024-01-14 00:54:57 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday everyone, I hope you all have a nice weekend! Here is Rock-chan in all her glory- beautiful, stunning and stronk. I also threw in some very messy sketch wips of some upcoming characters I'll be working on. Can you guess what they are? Not sure how I feel about the first one, may change that one since what she's based on doesn't have many things to go off of lol.
For song of the week, I'm still going strong with my obsession of songs being turned emo lol. A youtuber I follow does it so well so I'm recommending a cover they recently did xD
todd barriage "freak on a leash, but it's super emo"
As a lover of Korn this was beautiful. If you haven't heard the original, please do so because Korn is amazing! Also, subtitles on please :P
Comments
Oh please don't worry about it! I really appreciate and admire that you reply to so many people, but also understand completely that some things may fall through the cracks. But still, even if you just didn't want to reply I'm not going to get upset lol. Thank you for all the community engagement you give us! For monster hunter, there isn't anything particular to get any armor set (for the most part lol). You get random drops from each monster you fight and you can use those drops to make their armor/weapons. However that set I posted is an endgame monster so there is that particularity I guess.

2024-01-20 13:18:24 +0000 UTCApologies for the late reply, sometimes I'll get a notification from patreon if someone comments and other times I don't lol. Anyway, back to the design- that is sick as hell! I imagine it's like most games where you probably have to do something specific to get it? Either way, very cool :)

2024-01-20 11:14:55 +0000 UTCWell I HAVE to listen to that! Totally get what you mean about trying different sketches. Before settling on the final one, I sketched out like three different poses for that Jevil girl I did not too long ago lol

2024-01-16 16:36:59 +0000 UTCGlad I was able to help in anyway! Monster Hunter has a really cool amount of variety in the monsters and armor sets since every monster gets it's own armor set. It's neat to see them all! Somewhat off topic, but this is what I have been using in World currently since I think it's a really cool design. https://monsterhunterworld.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Monster-Hunter-World/frostfang_barioth_alpha_+_image.jpg

2024-01-16 15:51:00 +0000 UTCLol I used to have long hair but noticed that without a short beard, people would think I was still in high school, I had a 16 year old coworker at my last retail job think he was older than me!!! Lol I was like 22! But if I grow a short beard, I feel like I look like a bum, so... super short hair now lol And haha! Great minds think alike then! Lol can't wait to see the finished version though!! Aaand I decided it would probably be safer to stay here than go offroading in the snow, in the mountains solo lol kinda regretting it though since I know it would have been beautiful overlooking a snow covered valley lol

2024-01-16 13:31:31 +0000 UTCYou cheater!! lol just kidding :P I'm glad I ended up revamping the original sketch, sometimes the next one turns out to be something you like better! I'm glad you enjoyed the cover too. Funny enough that same guy did Duality but if Bring Me The Horizon did it xD

2024-01-16 07:00:59 +0000 UTCYou are 100% correct in that Spotify just plays the same damn songs over and over. I think I have around a day or twos worth of songs and it will still play the same ones- never to even touch others. I feel like it's their way of saying, "upgrade from free and you can listen to all your music!" :P I don't know if that's true but that's how I feel lol. I'm not familiar with Burnout Paradie, admittedly I'm atrocious at racing games (I'm looking at you Mario Kart). However, that song was very good! Loved the vibe and the singer's voice especially. It kinda gave me that sad/nostalgia feel but the kind you like if that makes sense!

2024-01-16 06:58:12 +0000 UTCI can count on one hand the number of times I've seen snow since living out here. That's one thing I miss about living out in the country is snow. I hate being really cold but snow is just pretty to look at! For some reason my first thought when I listened to that song was, "I want this to play while driving fast on the freeway" I can see it now, either going to or from somewhere you really don't want to be- perfect song for that! Not sure if it's on spotify but if it is it's going on there for when that time comes lol. As for the short, I have a memory of my stepdad saying "Korn? Wtf kind of name is that?" in a country accent of course- whoever made that clip gets it!

2024-01-16 04:53:10 +0000 UTCI like short hair too- it's been a long time since my hair has been very long. I just can't be bothered with it anymore haha! I was thinking a similar idea for the stingray originally, but I too thought of a flying squirrel and it made me laugh lol xD I did a re-work of the character and I think it turned out much better this time. I'm excited to finish her up! :) I'm glad you enjoyed the cover. It's different but I really liked it! The captions really make it though :P I hope you have a nice time seeing some pretty scenery, that sounds like a lot of fun! My weekend was pretty good overall. I had to work a little, but it's slowed down since the holidays which I'm very thankful for!
alichu
2024-01-16 04:39:49 +0000 UTCThanks Antoni, I appreciate it! I think the second one turned out much better ^_^ As for the "my demons" song- yes, I've very much heard it before and really like that song. That band has some very catchy titles for sure :P
alichu
2024-01-16 04:34:53 +0000 UTCI'll give the others a listen too- Johnny's Rebellion was good so now I'm curious about the others :P As for skelly girl, I'll see what I can do because that is funny as hell lol.
alichu
2024-01-16 04:28:27 +0000 UTCYour comment was super helpful Joker, thank you! Seeing that character really sparked some ideas, especially for the hair. I sketched up another one and I think that one turned out way better. This is probably the first animal I was stuck on anthropomorphizing lol. It was fun though, so I appreciate your suggestion- thanks again! ^_^
alichu
2024-01-16 04:26:28 +0000 UTCThanks Azazel, I appreciate your suggestion! I went with a blue/grey color. I may add some spots too- we'll see as I finish her up :D
alichu
2024-01-16 04:22:03 +0000 UTCHmm should I cheat and “guess” stingray even though I’ve already seen the Twitter post? Damn though that cover went hard af, if I had to sum up the vibes in one sentence it’d be, “Korn: brought to you by BMTH” lol

2024-01-16 04:18:27 +0000 UTCSome very interesting sketches there Ali, and the new stingray looks very nice too. And you can't forget the traffic cone! My weekend was busy, work was especially busy, which was odd because the rest of the week was quite literally dead. As for the recommendation, I don't listen to emo much anymore, it's still on my big playlist, but I'm not as avid of a listener as I used to be, Korn is in a similar boat, but all bands are tbf, my playlist is almost a day and a half long, the chance of one band playing is as miniscule as the next, though I swear Spotify is playing the same songs every 20 or so songs, but that might just be me repeating songs that I like at the time 😆. The song was very good though, I enjoyed it, even if it took me half of the song to finally start recognising the song. My recommendation will be from a band I haven't listened to in a hot minute admittedly, I first heard it playing Burnout Paradise way back when. It is "The Archer's Bows Have Broken" by Brand New off their equally long named album "The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me". I actually do like this song (Burnout Paradise nostalgia hits hard), but I mainly chose this one for the long name 😆. I also wouldn't be surprised if you had heard the band before.

2024-01-16 03:49:15 +0000 UTCI know the first two, Skelly! I even played in them in my friend's house yesterday. Only I haven't heard 'The Drug In Me Is You', I listened to both the original and reimagined one - both really good (maybe I like the reimagined one more!)

2024-01-15 14:53:36 +0000 UTCI've seen your rework of the stingray girl, she's looking great! Funny you mention 'Satellite' by Starset (awesome song by the way) because 'My Demons' was going to be my next recommendation. I'd take it you might already know it since it's more popular. Yes, it seems you know me quite well haha!

2024-01-15 14:50:28 +0000 UTCThe pleasant views of the desert sun are more than welcome, Ive been shakin in ice and snow for days now, you probably ain't seein none of that out there. If you out here resurrecting another undead cutie I'll bust out a track for ya from the vault proper. Dunno where this band stands under the emo umbrella but they're a gem. I sing with em every time. (I put it back in the vault. Better luck next time.) Heheh pov Ali visits the fam on holiday: https://youtube.com/shorts/jdyxEbOGXbQ?si=EsUZJ_m9nSoDglIb
dead to me
2024-01-15 09:00:41 +0000 UTCI'd be interested to know if you like their more recent music, such as Voices in my Head, Watch the World Burn, or even the reimagined ones like The Drug in me is You.
Sir Skelington
2024-01-15 05:15:48 +0000 UTCAs far as I know, sadly it does not. However it's part of a trilogy, Johnny Ringo Johnny's Rebellion and Johnny's Revenge, I think you'd like some of their music. I think it would be funny if you put a bikini top on skella girl, literally flat chested.
Sir Skelington
2024-01-15 05:11:14 +0000 UTCThe only problem for me is I like my hair short, and it's cold outside haha. And ...I have to admit..I had to Google what you meant by your lain side... hahaha hopefully you can get one soon :p Ooh! I see it now! Oh man, that's gonna be difficult... maybe.. incorporate the "wings" into her clothing? I'd also say incorporate them into her arms as like flaps, but that just makes me think of a flying squirrel lol And I just listened to the song, ya know what? I dig it lol wouldn't have even realized it's an ego version of Freak on a Leash, and those friggin captions haha! And so far so good! It's supposed to snow up in the mountains nearby tomorrow, so I might take a day trip and drive around the snow trails and take in the views at the overlooks! How about your weekend so far? Hopefully no work?

2024-01-15 04:19:51 +0000 UTCYeah covers can defiantly be hit or miss, glad to see that a lot of the others commenting are liking it though! I honestly have no idea if they would be the same band or not. Defiantly not under the name of sim obrigada at the very least, however I feel like it's very possible that a more famous Japanese just used a fake name when being included in the game. Its also just possible they are hyper obscure, I really couldn't find anything about them. Also I saw your reply to BloodyAzazel, I don't know if this will help but there is a monster in Monster Hunter World called Namielle that is a Dragon and Manta Ray mix. Not gonna be one to one for transferring a Stingray to a monster girl but it might be helpful to see which aspects they choose to incorporate into the dragon design to make it look unique from other dragons. Also looking up "Namielle armor" is a decent way to see it's design put into human form. I have no idea if this was helpful but at the very least it might inspire something that can be added

2024-01-15 03:35:44 +0000 UTCNothing beats a haircut! That reminds me that I need to get that done too. My lain side is getting a little too long for my liking lol. The first sketch I need to rework haha! I'm having a little trouble since I'm hoping to design a stingray girl. If you happen to have any ideas feel free to share them :) The emo cover is definitely different. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but as someone who loves Korn, I thought it was a fun little twist! :P I hope you have a relaxing three-day weekend!
alichu
2024-01-15 03:21:51 +0000 UTCI do plan on making a kangaroo girl at some point, but I was trying to go for a stingray haha! I mentioned this to Azazel but I think I need to rework the design. Stingrays are cute but I'm having a tough time making one into a humanoid character. If you have any suggestions feel free to share them with me! :) The other is a hornet and of course a skelly girl! I've heard some Falling in Reverse songs before was unfamiliar with "carry on" until now. I really enjoyed that one! I liked his voice in that song, especially when he hits those higher notes. Maybe it's the space suit in the video but it made me think of the song "satallite" by starset. I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard it already since I know you like space/sci-fi stuff :P
alichu
2024-01-15 03:13:26 +0000 UTCSkelly girl indeed- the time has come for me to draw a skelly! The ribcage is going to absolutely kill me while drawing, I just know it lol. It will be worth it though! No hate at all- we all have our preferences! As a lover of emo and nu metal I love them both :P I've heard of Crown the Empire but never really listened to them much until just now. Please tell me that song has some sort of musical or something? It absolutely needs some sort of visual or story to go with it!
alichu
2024-01-15 02:54:24 +0000 UTCYou could give her some gills on the hips and also try a spotted look since some have those textures. Most look brown with blue(or brown) spots but there are also black ones with white spots.
BloodyAzazel
2024-01-15 02:36:07 +0000 UTCHaha, I'm sorry Joker- I couldn't help myself with that one xD One of my favorite bands combined with a favorite music genre was too much for me to not share! I do get your point though, it's definitely not for everyone and I respect that. I feel the same way about other covers I've heard- they can be a big hit or miss for me. I gave sim obrigada's song a listen and my first thought went to FLCL. Something about the way it sounds really makes me think of that anime's music! I'm sure it's not the same band but nonetheless, it gave me that vibe. I liked it a lot, so I'll probably check out the games' playlist while I draw later :)
alichu
2024-01-15 02:31:35 +0000 UTCThose are some good guesses! The first one I'm definitely thinking I need to re-work. I wanted to make her a stingray but I'm having some trouble making the physical traits stand out. If any of you have any ideas on her design feel free to let me know, I'd love to hear them! ^_^ I hope you're having fun gaming!
alichu
2024-01-15 02:21:05 +0000 UTCGood weekend so far, it's a 3 day weekend since the company is giving us Monday off, got all my errands done including a new haircut done today so the rest of the weekend will be nothing but relaxing! How about yours? And hmm... do these happen to be the sketches for the next role play? Not sure what the 1st one is, thinking maybe a mouse or rat girl? Also, I'll have to listen to that song, Freak on a Leash is a favorite song of mine, though emo music isn't my first choice lol.
Delta
2024-01-14 03:37:24 +0000 UTCJust as Azazel said; I think the first one may be a kangaroo - which, if it is, I hope you know what to do...regarding speaking. lmao I'm kidding. No pressure! (Just one line though! plz) The other two; one I'm guessing is a bee because of the stinger. And the other one, well... trickier to guess but the skeletal chest, stitched neck and (possibly) missing eye. A zombie and a skeleton. Oh... Did Jack and Sally have a daughter?! o.o I've listened to both 'Freak On A Leash' and its super-emo counterpart. Gotta say I liked the emo version a lot! Strangely, I couldn't recognise any remnants of 'Freak On A Leash' in the emo version - but that probably requires one to know the song well. It sounded like two completely different songs to me. XD Good recommendation! To go along with the theme, see what you think of one of my favourites: "Carry On" by Falling In Reverse.
Artilleries
2024-01-14 03:26:14 +0000 UTCOoo, possible skella girl? Don't hate me but I think the emo version is better than the original. My recommendation is Johnny's Rebellion by Crown the Empire.
Sir Skelington
2024-01-14 03:11:34 +0000 UTCOh man this is the first week that the recommendation is something I really don't like lol. However it is very well made, especially changing the lyrics very slightly but still keeping the same meaning. Not sure if it was done to keep the better pace with the melody or something but edits are always neat to see rather than making 1:1 covers. But still it's a bit too strange of a change for me personally. My song this week has nothing to do with anything I have played recently as I usually recommend. The song is [LET IT DIE] by sim obrigada. This song comes up in my friend group every few months because the band seemingly just doesn't exist lol. For more context ,Let it Die was a game that hired a bunch of Japanese bands to make music for it, such as Survive Said the Prophet, and all of the songs are named Let it Die in some fashion. So it makes it really hard to find any of the songs anyways but we could just not find anything about this band in particular. Still though if you ever just want a massive variety of Japanese bands, Let it Die has like 80+ songs made for it.
JokermanTalon
2024-01-14 02:28:06 +0000 UTCAlright, so I think the 1st drawing is supposedly a Kangaroo or something Australian related(not trying to stereotype), the next one is definitely a skeleton(but what kind is debatable), and the final one is I think a dragonfly. (I don't have much else to say since I'm focusing on gaming since it do be like that) :P
