[WIP] Erika Ref Sheet (Patreon)
Content
I've been working on a little ref sheet for Erika... I've actually been thinking of her lately a lot more than it might seem. Not sure how far along I'll go with this ref, but I might make a separate "finished" version of the base image since I find it cute, heh...
I'm still quite uncertain on what her default "non-spacesuit outfit" on the right should look like. What I scribbled is just a placeholder for now, but I'll figure it out eventually.
For the record, Erika is a currently-unnamed species of vegetarian "fairy dragons" and does not have booba; she has them when wearing the suit but those cones are just filled with electronics and all that.
...it was important for me to mention she's vegetarian because part of her thing is cold-selling an ungodly-looking variety of meat-substitutes called "Chups"... and as a vegetarian she is completely unable to provide customers with a genuine personal testimony to the most common question, which is "how does Chups compare to real meat?"—but this pic shows nothing about any of that so I intend to explain all this with more visual context at a later time!
Part of my excitement with this Erika-stuff is I'm using her and the inherent future-setting as a catalyst to bring back other old abandoned characters I made back in the early 2000s, just like Erika herself (you'll see them later). I'm also on a little hunt to regain contact with a long-gone artist named Wagontamer to perhaps see if I could adopt a handful of his characters to "keep them alive"...
It's a new-ish personal passion project I guess! I hope you guys are even slightly interested, haha...
