Adventure Pirate Axolotl! December Character Design Challenge

Happy New Year!

This month's CDC challenge was to create an axolotl adventurer and I noticed there were no pirates in the submissions, so I made one!



I decided to go the cutesy route and also try out drawing with Procreate (which I recently bought) and overall, I think it turned out alright.


My submission was accepted onto the Facebook page

Although I don't intend to specialise into character design specifically, I think it's still good to keep it in practice for any general work I might end up doing. I liked the Procreate app - it's something I can see coming in useful in the future for professional use.

What worked well:
  • The cutesy look came through well
  • The base colour and shading was generally good
  • I had a little trouble drawing the rope but it turned out alright in the end

What could be improved:
  • I think more contrast on the skin would make it look better
  • In retrospect I feel I should've shaded the leg so that it doesn't look separated or behind the torso part
  • I could've exaggerated the pose more.
