I decided that Margie needed some extra attention today :)

Just some anatomy practice doodles with Ben, mostly as an excuse to show off his arms. I bet you thought he wore gloves, didn’t you?

I still think my placement and shading needs some work, but for what it is, I don’t think it’s half bad!

Some profile shots of Sebastian from a while back. Initially these were just to help me keep him on model, but they looked decent so I figured I’d share them here too lol

Some more of Renwick! As the main character of my future game he’s going to be pretty important, so he’s probably going to take up the majority of the art on this blog for a while, especially since there’s not really any “theme” or method to my posting lol

For as long as I can remember I’ve always loved the twin siblings dynamic in media. Something about it was always so interesting and alluring to me, and always made me wish I had a twin of my own lol. It’s a fantastic breeding ground for so many different dynamics and ways for just two characters in and of themselves to interact with each other, as well as with other characters. Sure, you can have these with any sibling dynamic, but something about twins always makes it feel more, special, you know?

I wanted to experiment with different dynamics with my own set of twin characters. There’s probably examples I’m missing, but based purely on the content that I’ve personally consumed or seen, there’s only two main categories that I’ve come to sort those kinds of characters into. They either look the same or similar but act nothing alike, or look the same or similar and act nearly or exactly alike. I’ve yet to see any twins who fall into other categories, but I’m sure there are examples out there that I haven’t seen! Despite this, I wouldn’t be wrong in saying these are the two most common twin dynamics, right?

So I wanted to do something different with NathanielandFrancis. I wanted to make them look nothing alike, while having entirely different personalities, traits, likes, dislikes and hobbies from one another, while still being able to get along and bond over whatever mutual interests they do have. With Nathaniel being more mellow and laid-back where Francis is generally high-strung and aggressive, I think their personalities and designs contrast each other nicely and make for some pretty promising opportunities for interesting interaction later down the line.

What do you think?

He’s in a silly goofy mood :)
