AER crowd character: BMJbok

Alternate title: Basketbok.

Why yes I can actually do portraits in portrait. It just required flipping numbers in my render settings and I am nothing if not incredibly lazy.

Everything that is remotely to do with a springbok now has the suffix -bok. And bmj and jackmiller managed to replace a well known and widely used cuss word with “bok” as well which made for an amusing conversation.

Perhaps I should have done a rugby ball but basketball got stuck in my head as nathanmj is mad keen about it and I vaguely recall bmj saying something about coaching but I don’t know if the two ideas were actually related. I think this guy is almost a treebok and not just because of the horns or the different picture orientation. Reckon he’ll just about stand eye to eye with some of my taller Dragonkin.

AER crowd character: DollaGoat

Sorry dolla, you’re now a goat XD (but let me know if you’d rather be something else)

I really wanted to do a variation of the upgoat footer for his Bounce upgoats, and “wall-running upgoat” was a concept firmly embedded in my mind…pretty much since then. And this was how that ended up.

I’m currently not sure whether the eye markings are staying or whether they’ll go and the nose marking will get bigger.

AER crowd character: Pineapple Angel

I have long nicknamed whatamidoing “pineapple” due to the avatar, and when I put out the call to see who wanted to make cameos as crowd character we were bantering back and forth about how I was going to do theirs a pineapple hairdo and they responded back something along the lines of “pineapple angel”, which meant as far as I was concerned a fruity Avian.

There’s no pineapple coloured birds that I’m aware of so I went with something parrotish and a crested eagle crest (actual feathers on the crest rather than the fine silky feathers that’s more common for Avians).

AER crowd character: DJ Kubby

So I started drawing, and I got carried away with a girl with a short skirt and looooooooooong jacket, and I love drawing long unrestrained hair, and then there was pink. Soooooo muuuuuuuuch pink. But my shadow layer was on multiply and it was making everything look so desaturated, I wanted it to be a little bit more vibrant so switched it to an overlay. Ack! Be careful what you wish for! But we have bright colours.

AER crowd character: BOOM!

The relentlessly hilarious @meesterboom requested a Dragonkin with a mohawk, no colour preference. It was so, so very difficult not to give him a hot pink mohawk. Gave him an extra long ratty but no tattoos as I’m not sure if he’s a Tribe Flyer or not. If he is I think one of the tattoos is going to be blue stripes like in Braveheart:

AER crowd character: Ninjaroo

Ninjaroo is thoroughly going to be his official nym.

I’ve recently decided to open my $10 Patreon tier to people on steem who regularly interact with me or are on the Team Australia and Be Awesome Discord channels. @aussieninja asked to be a ninja kangaroo, which meant lithe agile little gray wallaby. All ninjas wear headbands with medallions right? XD The ninja balaclava is down around his neck for the moment because I wanted to draw his face (I did originally have it up like he probably would do when playing parkour chasey).
