So I had a sort of fandom emergency come up and despite my better judgment I opened up a very small handful of character icon slots.
This is the first one I got done. Meet Quill. From what I can tell she has exactly one brain cell, but she uses it effectively.
The eye blink is a standard add-on but I just didn't feel this would be complete without the sparkles, so I added those in.
Did this in Krita, which was a bit of a struggle because while I'm familiar with it, I don't use it that often and I'd really like to add it to my repertoire. It's a little finicky to animate with, but not impossible, which is more than I should be able to ask of a free piece of software.
I'm posting this one free right off the bat because I really like how it turned out and I wanna plaster it all over socials, so, enjoy, and thank you so, so much to everyone who's helped me out with this "problem" of mine. I hope to post photos soon of what I acquired.
Side note: I'm going to keep the icons going, but only open maybe one or two slots at a time over on VGen. It's the easiest way to keep this manageable, and I need to start branching back out from sketches anyway. Feels nice. Nicer than I thought it would.
Happy Sunday, and I hope you're all having a good one.
