Comic Main Character Concepts - Buffer 1

Here are some concepts for the main characters of Onti, I made some changes to them since I started the first chapter, and I really want to get going on the next few chapters soon. You can view the images above in full res but I've included below in the post description

Aariyah
First changes are for Aariyah, I drew the hairstyles back in August, her hair was a nightmare to draw in chapter 1, as well as her facial features, since they felt kinda flat to me. Changed her eyes and nose mainly, trying to keep her androgynous look.

First ideas for Aariyah changes

Expressions for Aariyah, design solidified!

Jaylin
In case anyone was wondering, Jaylin has less mass than how I usually draw her. This is cuz this part of the story is set around 3 years earlier, she's 18 here and she also has no Elemental powers.

Very rough sketches of her younger design

Expression sheet for Jaylin I completed earlier this year which is already posted publicly, it's of her age 21, but her face is still similar anyways

Keisha
Not many changes made to Keisha, other than her body being a bit bulkier, really solidifying her design and figuring out where her gills are meant to go

Layouts

Keisha expression sheet

Aariyah + Keisha training wear
Their training outfits are based on Capoeira ones and CDO cord system, in the studies I did last month I got their cords 'wrong', now they're more accurate to their time practicing the art form (Aariyah 5+ years, Keisha 1). Their trousers are colour coded for their Element type

And that's all! I have some more concepts that I want to get done next before I continue with the story, such as side and supporting characters, location concepts, designing vehicles etcetc and planning another YouTube video - Also trying to get some progress on writing in the meantime of course, but it's going well

As always, thank you guys so much for supporting me so far, it’s really starting to feel like I can make this my career one day if I keep it up 💖
