 | Some food for the Creatures animated thing. |
 | No prizes for guessing which metaroom this is for: Nornhulu!
This version of the aquaplant isn't based on anything realistic, rather it's a fantasy plant based on the lovecraftian theme of the room itself. With any luck, it should gel more than the original aquaplant sprite does, and still add some fun (and edible) variation to the aquatic life there. c:
-As with before, I'll probably end up recompiling this myself with the other aquaplant variants! |
 | One of the agents that I got a request to do alternative artwork for was the C3/DS Aquaplant! c:
I actually was going to make it into a pixel version of a vallis spiralis plant, but remembered that those are freshwater! After an adventure of trying to find a flowering saltwater plant (since seaweed and primitive marine plants don't flower), about the only thing I could come up with was the red mangrove tree. They don't usually grow fully submerged during their whole lifespan, but considering that the Aquaplant is quite tall, in shallower pools it may naturally peek over the surface like a real mangrove plant!
I'll probably try and recompile this agent myself sooner or later, after I decide if I want to make more alternate forms for the different metarooms that Aquaplants inject into!! |
 | This one features the female sprites, as well as some other ideas I've had for a while. |
 | Time to stop lurking! Something quick I threw together for a Norn breed that I'm working on, (or attempting to) based on my favorite dinosaur, the archaeopteryx.
While I wanted them to look like a archaeopteryx, I also wanted to try and keep a Norn-ish look to them. The females are darker in color than the males (not shown in the picture) and the males will have a more pronounced crest of feathers on their head, as well as additional colors on the wings perhaps. The yellow on the males' 'bird parts' may be temporary until I can think of a better color (maybe I'll just have both genders look grey-ish). I plan to have them eat mostly bugs and critters, of which I want to make some to go with them.
This is the first time I have attempted to make a Norn breed or any agents, other than the very easy and simple Garden Box stuff, so it seems like a lot of work. I'm hoping to push myself to stick with it so that everyone can have some fluffy, feathery archaeopteryx Norns running around in their worlds! 
As I progress, I'll post updates. My mouse art skills aren't the best but I did what I could. I very dearly miss having a drawing tablet. Don't mind the copying and pasting out of laziness. ![[heart] [heart]](/images/smilies/heart.gif) |
 | This is a concept sketch of a critter in the Savannah pack. It's a cross between a zebra and a gazelle: A 'Gazelbra'! |
 | I've recently had the time to take a look at the feedback I had been receiving for the Panda Norns. I have been reworking their head sprites entirely; and I have made a small chart to compare the old head sprites with the new ones.
I've been painting the new heads over male ChiChi Norns all over again, despite that the only feedback I had received from you were the dents in their heads. I think my skill in spriting Norns has increased quite a lot over the last year; which is why I'm updating the Panda Norns now. To me, the old ones seem to be a bit outdated and of low quality. |
 | Sketches for the Leader and Follower pack. |
 | I randomly decided to take this Nornchi here and revamp her with my art style. I might do the other genders and species if anyone wants them, and maybe the items too. |
 | These are some Pixel Norn heads that I revamped in my spare time to showcase my new art style. Things I make will be able to look better with this art style, because there's more room for detail, and the final product won't look as blocky and awkward.
To draw in this style, I would typically draw a very rough grayscale sketch in my usual art style, but with these, I took the Pixel Norn heads, painted them garish colors so that I could work with the revamped versions slapped on top of them,and went from there. After making the initial sketch, I make a less pixelated version over the top of it, with the desired colors. After I'm done with the basics, I add the details and I'm done.
Fun Fact: The revamped ear insides of these heads were originally too small, so I completely redrew them from scratch so that they wouldn't look stupid. |
 | Here is what the Leader and Follower Norns are going to look like. Male Leader Norns (the one shown here) will have darker and poofier hair, while the females will have jewellery and longer hair than the female Follower Norns. |
 | Having some Vaporwave Norns would be cool.  |
 | Return of the cards! GAIA this time: She's a defender because she doesn't have arms, but can sort of flop her tendrils at enemies, so she can hold her own. |
 | Okay. So I was thinking about making this for a while, and it turned out decent (considering I had to work in MS Paint...). |
 | I thought these were worth sharing, though some of them don't really look like norns anymore (I'm looking at you, Furious Otter Norns). |
