    uniE621 Ethan Variant OC Design (Commission)
    This is the fifth commission I worked on with Ethan. In this project, I was tasked with creating a design for a Variant of Ethan's OC. This variant was supposed to be a more corrupt version of the original OC, so it retains some of the same characteristics but is still different. This project consisted of multiple poses and a matching background, including: A full body pose, a close-up pose, an action pose, and a matching background. This took me about a week and a half to complete. We went back and forth brainstorming ideas for pose and background composition. After completing the project, I produced something both of us were happy with.…
    uniE621 Ethan Manga Panels (Commission)
    This was the fourth commission for Ethan. In this commission, I was tasked with creating a scene of Ethan's awakening. It was an emotionally intense framed project. This one took me a couple of weeks to complete, another one of the longest commissions I've worked on. For this commission, we took a style approach of manga panelling. In this project, I created various poses including: A full body pose, a close-up head shot pose, a half body pose, and a fully rendered action pose. We put all the poses together to create two pages' worth of manga panels. This is one of my favorite commissions I've done so far. After completing it, I had created a design that both Ethan and I were happy with.…
    uniE621 Arc Muir Character Design (Commission)
    In this commission, I was tasked with helping Ethan come up with a design for another one of his OCs, Arc. We worked to create a character sheet that incorporated multiple poses and a matching background. We worked back and forth for a couple of weeks brainstorming and creating the design for his character. This was one of the longest commissions I've worked on, as there were so many parts incorporated in this design. I had to do poses/designs for: Arc's robot arm, his fins, his hairstyle, two expressions, a full body pose, an action pose, a close-up of his eyes, and a matching background. After completing the character sheet, we had made something we were both happy with.…
