[Witch Familiars - (2/16) - Water Witch’s Tear Puddle]

Man, you’ve got me thinking about what kind of witches would have these familiars. We have a fire witch who doesn’t have the best control of her powers (based on my comment on the dog), and a sad water witch.

I love the water effects and the reflection of the paper boat! It’s really dynamic, I can almost see it moving! Not only that, but this is a really creative design, as are the rest of your familiars! I like the way you thought outside the box for a lot of these :)

Hope you don’t mind all these comments. I just saw the gem golem and knew I had to look through all your witch familiar designs.

ZeTrystan responds:

Actually, I did draw those witches before! If you check the two last years in my gallery, you'll find them there! ;)

And thank you, trying to find uncommon designs it's my goal! :D

[Witch Familiars - (3/16) - Fire Witch’s Pyro Dalmatian]

Aww! So if he’s like a firefighter dog, does that mean he’ll put out the fire magic if something accidentally gets lit on fire that the witch didn’t mean to set on fire? If so: Good boy, very good boy.

This looks like it could come out of a cartoon on TV. Very clean and solid design. I like the way you did the fire, too.

ZeTrystan responds:

Sadly, I'm pretty sure this dog does the... opposite. :')

[Witch Familiars - (4/16) - Wind Witch’s Fatmingo]

Dawwwwww :3

I love the little baby birbs hangin’ around the bigger birb. The colors are really pleasing, too. The line art is really smooth. Great work!

ZeTrystan responds:

Thanks! Nothing better than a fat bird and lil birds around to appease everyone haha.

[Witch Familiars - (5/16) - Rock Witch’s Gem Golem]

That is adorable! I don’t know exactly how, but you made it adorable without it even having a face! This design is amazing and looks really professional, like it could come from an MMORPG or something! The shading as well, especially on the gems, is really well done! Great job!

ZeTrystan responds:

Hahaha, well thanks, it's a very nice thing to say!
Making things adorable is my only purpose, happy I managed to do it! :)

Yeah, I don’t completely understand what counts as “some” or “lots” either. I’m thinking of PMing Tom Fulp about it, since he’s the authority here.

But yeah, I love this work! It’s kind of got an interesting contrast, between the creepy/more Biblically accurate design of the angel and the cartoon style. Remember how I said your patron requests should be in an RPG? This’d be a late-game boss in said RPG. Haha! Also, I just noticed that the halo casts a shadow. That is cool.

[PATREON SKETCHES FOR SEPTEMBER]

These characters should totally all be in an RPG together. That’d be so cool. Did you design them or are they your patrons’ OCs? Regardless, awesome designs (forward my compliments to the designers), and awesome execution as well! I like the acid/poison-y demon girl the best, her design is really unique :)

[Octobit Day8: Drink]

Really nice piece! As FuzzyAnimalGames pointed out, you really made good use of the space above the character (called “headroom” in film analysis). It makes him seem small and vulnerable, which is what is often implied when you have a lot of headroom in a shot from a movie! The shading is well done as well. I’d say the character doesn’t stand out from the background enough, but actually it really works given the vibe you’re trying to pull off. Great work! (And are those scars on his wrists, or is that just shading for arm hair? I feel concerned for this guy.)

Ioruko responds:

Thank you! I didn't know it was called that, good to know.

[THX]

Ooooooh, beautiful galaxy creature! (I'm a sucker for space.) I love the effects on this and the glowy eyes! I can almost see it moving! Awesome job!

Oroshibu responds:

Thank you ! :D

[Pink + Yellow]

You draw so well! Your line work is so clean, oh my God! Really great job with the hair.

[Beginner Ballet]

Aww! She's adorable! This makes me think of when I took ballet classes as a kid :)

Very well-done art, great attention to proportions and shading. I also like the way you drew the tutu!
