Sammy is my favorite

Thanks! I'm thinkin' he can be a stable boy

[braden H]

I had some other people on the discord vote for sammy too, so I'm exploring his adventuring setup (with companion llama) I'm gonna go for a 'character select' kinda screen with some statistics and info around the zoomed face.

I like your “gaming” concept can’t wait to see more!

[alicia]

These characters are so cute!

[donnamakesart]

As always, you are on fire I’m always so motivated to try and draw whenever I see your work haha

[miranda-hoover]

@Braden-Hallett Yay, Sammy! That's a clever way to do the sitting pose!

[braden H]

@miranda-hoover Sammy 'strudel thief' Donovan. Orphan. Stableboy. Strudel-thief. Keeper of the village's finest long-haired 'battle' llama.

The village elders BEGGED Sammy to take one of the village Akbashes, but Sammy insisted on his llama. Little known fact, llamas HATE goblins.

aw man, now I'm feelin the pressure

[miranda-hoover]

@Braden-Hallett Perfect

[BradAYoo]

Yeah, I like Sammy the most as well. I am digging those head and body shapes!

[Elliot]

I'm another one who loves Sammy!

[ruth]

Yep! Another fan of Sammy, and his llama! (Although all your characters are really great, and I particularly like the name Nyxy Boondiggle ). He definitely looks the most naive, and I vote him most likely to end up in all sorts of extremely awkward and perilous situations.

messin' around with the composition, colours, expressions, yadyadyada

Very cool characters here

[braden H]

@kylebeaudette thanks man! I much prefer your puppets (mannequins?)

[braden H]

More doodles. I wonder if it's possible (or painful) to put piercings in horns?

Considering it's not painful to cut a cow's horns, I think you're safe!

Your work is looking really good! I love to see your process. I really love the vibe of this kid, especially with the kinda "about to eat" (open mouthed) pose

Actually... as someone who grew up on a cow dairy farm... I can say it definitely hurts. And it's bloody. The horns actually have a blood supply through them. So painful AND bloody!

But I have seen a lot of pictures of indigenous peoples decorating the horns of their animals by wrapping leather, metal, or fiber around them, and that does look pretty cool! It's a neat idea to decorate the horns of a faun-type character... haven't seen too much of that, but it's totally fitting, since it's such a distinctive trait!

Awesome drawings as usual @Braden-Hallett!! Thanks for sharing your process. I'm learning a lot!

Love all these especially excited to see llama!
