Description Updated Reference!

So there's going to be a couple of these in the next couple of weeks but I figured I'd start uploading them as I complete them.  I'm going with an update of two of my oldest and then a new one I think.

Here's a full ref of my character Dove using my new Style, the old ref was okay but it's the 2nd or 3rd in most need of an update.  The next ref I'm posting is the one that DESPERATELY needed an update.  The profile has some updates and a bit of new info or condensed info as well.  I also decided to update the doodles as well because they really needed them!  Plus I added some things just for fun, I had a lot of fun here incorporating other characters.   This and another one really needs the doodles to incorporate other characters (as well as a design update / art overhaul) but I understand at the time of creation... there really wasn't too many to use.

However I did update the gamer Dove pic as I loved that one, made a nice vector line version and added a 2nd player.

A lot of it has some pretty big changes so I'm still going to leave the old ref on here as well, I'll probably create an "old ref" folder or something.  Maybe I'll do a "Draw this Again" meme once I'm finished the other one too.  Makes sense!  I think so.

For comparison here's my old ref:  Angel Apprentice Dove - Reference

Thank you as always for the feedback and faves!!   Have a wonderful day!

AAAAAAWSUM JOB AGAIN

And I didn't noticed before, but I really liked the glow you made on the halo, it's so cute!

Yaaaay!    Thank you!!!


YES! That Halo Glow has really improved some of the looks of this, a friend of mine who was working on gift art that had glowey effects showed me some of the linework tricks they do sometime and I managed to apply and make it unique to me!   Halo effect for the win!   I'm really happy it turned out cute!

I don't know if it was intentional, but he looks a bit like a girl - and that must've been so embarassing at first! xD (Also, this is a concept that I really enjoy seeing)
Your characters really have a lot of depth, especially Dove. I love him. 
While his design is quite simple, I think it's unique. I'd recognize Dove if I saw an art of him! 
A nerdy angel? Who wouldn't want that!? Such a nice concept too!

Awwhhhhh!  Thank you so much!    Ha ha ha!  Actually Dove's origin is close to my heart and he really wasn't even meant to exist, and he was kind of created by an embarassing accident but I'm really happy it ended up this way.  Hard to imagine my lineup without him.  I'm really happy you enjoy the concept of a nerdy angel boy who comes to terms with his feminine side!   

I'm really happy you enjoyed all of my characters and especially Dove!  When people read or comment or draw about my characters it really flatters me and thank you for all of the kind commentary and favourites honestly!     My philosophy is that sometimes the most simple character design is the most memorable, and Dove is one of the simplest I have.  (It sometimes makes it good for doodling!)  I'm happy he's recognizable though!!

Hehehe!  I always loved the idea of a nerdy angel concept too!  I thought just because he is a goody-two shoes doesn't mean he has to give up your passions or have fun!    Plus it leaves room for "unorthodox problem solving".     Thank you so much for the kind comments!

Amazing job! Your style continues to evolve into something very cool and unique. Looking forward to seeing the other references once you finish them.

Thank you so much for the kind comment and fave!!   

I'm really happy where this is going and I'll probably be uploading at least one this weekend, probably today at this pace.  Then maybe one more a little bit after...     It's a fun process and so far the reaction on these have been very positive!

This is a cool update, like how you redid this. Also, I know the annoyance of Game Save erasure! *laughs*

Love the shading, and the folds in his dress!

StarlightHawk In reply to Raakone [2018-05-13 20:05:34 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!!!    I converted a lot of this into SAI 2 so I can edit text easier for all of the references.

Oh Game Save Erasure, the bane of all gamers.       Doesn't matter if Dove has access to angelic powers or not, he's powerless against that.

Thanks again!  The Shading, folds and the general colouring style were one of the few reasons I came back to update this.

Thank you very very much!      It was really fun actually re-developing this!  Feel free to download if you need the full size ref.     I'm really happy it turned out good as I'll be using this style for any new refs I make or updates to old ones.
