That Size Artist from Twitter


⬆️Re: this part of my post from yesterday

I'm definitely going with Kinetic, because that's basically an excuse to draw a lot more wiggly lines and the word "GROW" written out vertically outlining Carol.

Really, it's just that my favorite part of macro drawings these days are the wiggly lines and the word "GROW" written vertically outlining characters. Can't get enough of it. A+ stuff. Gotta have those wiggly lines/GROW as an onomatopoeia.



Oh, I think I've got people following me here who didn't on other websites, so I may as well explain real quick "Whimsy," the whole conceit of my collection of macro characters.

Whimsy (which is also what I call the my universe of characters) is basically a growth trigger. All of the characters can change size at will, but everyone has a specific thing that can trigger their growth, or a unique way of growing.

For example, Rebecca's Whimsy is "Break;" when she breaks something, she grows bigger. Juliette's Whimsy is "Magic," which just means that she uses magic spells and potions to change size, whereas other characters don't. There's more to the whole lore of the setting, like how Whimsies can be turned off and on at will, how people don't get hurt as a result of all this and everything is ok afterwards, but that's getting into the nitty gritty of things.

So that leads to what I've been wondering for the past few days: what's Carol the Rabbit's Whimsy gonna be? What's gonna be the thing that can help drive her growth?

My first thought is "Kinetic;" if she has her Whimsy active, she grows as she moves. Just sort of small idle movements like breathing or moving fingers adds very little, but more exaggerated things like walking, running, or jumping add a lot more. But I dunno, maybe I'll think of something better.
