Chere's Art Thread

I've been so swamped with school work, but I managed to squeeze in this 2 hour piece before passing out last night. 😂 I tried to go for a melancholic feel, and forced myself to work with dark colours and use harsh light sparingly to not make it overly dramatic. I don't think I have to say who this is bc by now ya'll should know lmao,,

Used a reference for the posing since I've been trying to use references more with my art. It's not perfect, but I was mainly focusing on the colouring once again skfkk. One day I will be good at anatomy... 😔
Literally been obsessed with my ACNH story for the past 2 months or so. I don't even play the game much, but I keep developing my world and the lore. 😂 I'm also a dumb hopeless romantic so here's some more Eris x Fang content. 🙄

not perfect, hdksisjdk wdym 😭 its so awesome! you’re extremely talented!
 
Your lighting and contrast skills are truly amazing! I love how much life it gives to your drawings! They really pop and I can feel the warmth and/or coolness of the colors, depending on the piece. Stunning coloring and I love how it sets the mood in each piece. You've got immense talent! 💙

Ah thank you very much! ^^ It's comments like these that really make my day tbh, I'm really glad to hear you liked my art enough to take the time to be a little more specific about what you like, it really means a lot. 💕
 
UPDATE:
I'm going to try and document more of my ACNH story here in my posts, so a lot of this is mostly for myself. My stories tend to include some sensitive topics and a lot of angst which I know not everyone is comfortable with, hence why I don't share them on my socials. But I figured here is much more on the down low and it's somewhere where I can store notes, sketches, etc. and look back on it later. Most of my stories are jammed in my head and not written out anywhere. 😅

I'd also like to note that Eris, while being my oc, still shares a lot of traits and similarities to myself, because it helps me relate to my playable game characters more, and generally feel more attached. It's hard to put into words, but the way she and acts and reacts to certain things is similar to how I would. (It was the same case with Maya, my New Leaf character as well)

- - -

I don't believe I ever shared this here, but Eris changes her hair colour quite a bit and I recently touched up on some of the colours and made some rough notes about when she sports each colour! :>

This is supposed to be Eris' look when the story first starts (aka when she arrives on the island, Valentia). Her brown roots eventually start coming through (though I didn't want to colour them in because it looked too weirdly detailed, so this is probably how I'd draw her if I drew her again in this stage in her life). The dye is probably old.
IMG_0795.png

Eris refreshes her hair with this new rooted light blonde look when the island is more developed. I'd assume when things are more established and she actually has the luxury to dye her hair again lol. (Tbh idk the details on the island development but that's a future me problem kaskfdk). This is also the hair colour she has when she starts dating Raymond. This would also be the hair colour she has when she establishes a lot of her close relationships (Daisy, Piper, Raddle, Aspen <-- Irescien's island rep).

Eris switches to strawberry blonde near the end of her relationship with Raymond. Probably a week or two before she breaks it off with him. Their relationship only lasts 2-3 months. She gets into a relationship with Wolfgang very soon after Raymond and this is the colour she sports throughout that entire relationship. This relationship lasted longer than the one with Raymond, but I'm not sure how much longer. When she has this hair colour, she's in one of the hardest, messiest parts in her life (albeit not obvious to her for a long time).

This denim/steel blue colour (or whatever you wanna call it) comes in soon after Eris' relationship with Wolfgang ends. This was definitely more because her strawberry blonde hair made her feel icky and depressed, and a new fresh colour signified a new start for her. This is the colour I use most when I play in-game, as well as the colour I choose to draw her with the most. She keeps this colour (or variations of it) for a few years. This is the colour she sports when she gets into a relationship with Fang, who is her end game partner.
IMG_0791.png

This is super end game, but I like to think that Eris goes back to her natural dark brown hair maybe 5 years into her relationship with Fang. I supposed this can signify that she feels she can truly be herself around him. She has a lot more genuine self-love and confidence and the dyed hair is probably something she outgrows.
IMG_0792.png


Not much has changed really. The strawberry blonde wasn't initially here at first because I wanted to go off of actual hair colours in the game, but I love strawberry blonde too much lol.

Eris_concept_art_brown.PNG

I want to make note that if Eris is drawn with light blonde hair or strawberry blonde hair, that she's in toxic relationships (aka with Raymond and Wolfgang respectively). Raymond and her were mostly immature and disregarded each others feelings a lot. They fought fire with fire almost every time they had an argument. She also never truly loved him, and Raymond believes he loves her for a few years before realizing he was more obsessed than in love. He told her he loved her a lot throughout their relationship, and Eris never did.

Wolfgang came into Eris' life right after she ended things with Raymond when she was alone and vulnerable. The two have an age gap of about 9 years which he later uses against her at many points throughout their relationship. I established Wolfgang's character back in 2017 (as he was also in my New Leaf story) and he's always been very charismatic, but he's the kind of man who's good when things are good, and bad when things are bad. Eris falls head over heels for Wolfgang, and she went through several moments of anticipation waiting for him to say that he loved her, but that moment never came.

That being said, I've generally avoided drawing her with those hair colours because I know that she's at bad time in her life, but I'm delving more into exploring the different stages of her story, rather than just her end game with Fang.

Anyways if you actually read through everything and made it to the end, I'm truly shocked. Like I said above, this will be mostly for archive purposes for myself, so I'm not fussed about who does and doesn't read these notes. 😂

I read all of this, and I absolutely love, I mean love the details you're putting into Eris and her story. I think it's important to include those harder parts of life. They happen to everyone, and it makes the characters feel more real and relatable when you can sympathize with them. I seriously love all of your work, always. I hope to make a story for my OC (my first one!) 💖

Thank you so much for your input! 💕 I definitely agree as well. Personally, I can't write characters and their stories without including hardships. As you said it makes them feel more relatable and you're able sympathize with them, as well as makes them feel more real. What I've posted is honestly only a scratch on the surface of what I have, but it's nice to have this now to look back on. I hope you can manage to write a story for your own oc as well someday! Stories and lore are definitely what help me keep myself invested and connected with my characters.
 
Here's some Wolfgang 2021 concept art! Probs just gonna roll with this lol.

And here's a "younger" version on him (younger being in quotations bc I was too lazy to change much) but I just wanted to get an idea of his appearance back how he'd look in my New Leaf story.
IMG_0809.png


This is so cursed and old but this was the old design I had of him that I'm pretty sure I only drew once LOL. I tried to stick to his current design still having longer/shaggier hair at the very least (and the facial hair was a must imo).

I'm just gonna be real; the next few posts I have are of Eris concerning her and Wolfgang's relationship. My tastes do be basic sometimes and I've been vibing to Taylor Swift recently. 😂 I've been indulging in the re-recorded Red album + her vault tracks, and I was shocked by how many songs literally described WG and Eris. A bad thing for Eris I suppose, but I was like... ah yes, it's time for angst. 😌

This is sort of a re-draw from a scene in the All Too Well short film (except it's WG and Eris). We love dramatic lighting and whatever. 😩 Also adding a version with the lyrics from the song in a spoiler below. The piece took around 2 hours or a little less.

Drew this a week ago! Featuring Eris in a party dress waiting for Wolfgang to show up to her birthday party. :')) This literally happened in-game I cannot make this up. 😔 Ran around trying to find him after the party and he was nowhere to be found lmao.

Added yet another colour lol... pink is my favourite colour so I couldn't resist giving Eris pink hair at one point... went for a dusty rose bc the muted/subtle pinks are my favourite personally. 😅 This is the colour she goes with maybe 2-3 years into her relationship with Fang. Also probably the last dyed hair colour she goes with before letting her natural brown hair come in completely. :>
