These Characters Are Amazing
The first and the sixth are my favorites, and they are all very interesting designs.
I will definitely try what you said and just add some design work to my portrait sketches and see where it leads. I hope that I can create designs as well as you do.
When I look at them I get the notion that they would also make great oil paintings
Thank you so much @art-mess! Please try these yourself, besides being really fun, it can bring about strong designs and story oriented visuals! And I would make a oil painting of them if I could, but my skills in oil aren't that great... But maybe I'll try something like that with some watercolor or acrylic.
