[cat astronaut]

cat astronaut where will they go

this feels spontaneous in the way it was sketched+rendered... like spur-of-the-moment inspiration. I love that ♥
the mix of clothing/design aesthetics is very charming too. I wonder if the head covering just represents standard astronaut uniforms or actually is/incorporates the look of a hijab. is this an OC? I'd love to know more!

I really look forward to seeing more work of yours :D

t-tini....,,
these are so adorable!! they'd be so cool as stickers, custom keychains or fridge magnets.
I'd be curious to see how it'd look if the shape of the border was more polished/felt more solid and deliberate... you definitely have the skill+aesthetic eye to pull that off imo!

nice work ^ ^

Cakejem responds:

Aww, thanks! I keep that advice in mind next time I draw

[Captive]

NeonShambles responds:

Thanks

[blue sweater]

that expression... :0
shy, subdued, tired, but also knowing, a lil bit haunting.

overall seemingly simple, but imo it works very well! then again, I really like messy brushy/sketchy art.

gaettuce responds:

thank you!! :b

[OCs]

hey! I found this through a recent OC share thread, and really wanted to leave at least a comment.
the fact that they come from different backgrounds really comes through in their design, and seeing them together really hints at a varied world for them to inhabit.
for one, sci-fi- and steampunk-based characters in the same context! Rydan and Catheryn working in same lab definitely makes me curious :0

as for personal taste, I love glasslike/uncommon materials as part of a character's body like Flasc, albinos like Saik and objectheads like RD-No01 haha.

I'd love to see more of them in the future!

RetroMaple responds:

thank you so much, your words mean alot to me. Small note tho, Saik isn't albino, he's just really pale 😅. I have since redrawn this lineup with my updated art here: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/retromaple/updated-oc-lineup-2019
I'm probably gonna upload their character refs individually here soon too so I can tie their lore to them :>
