Some gouache practice featuring my OCs. I have taken much interest in choosing colors for each character. These OCs have been around for a long time but until now I haven't considered them very distinct from one another. 

Goals:

• More cartoon-style, less anime (aiming for a 50/50 hybrid, with a hearty helping of vintage aesthetic)
• Give each character a distinct silhouette - they should be recognizable even if they were bald and naked.
• Each character gets a different skin tone. This is mixed with their hair color to create a cohesive color scheme. I put the last goal into practice for these paintings.
