CHERRY BOMB!! (Superhero OC)

Share

I'm not dead, I'm just extremely lazy and inconsistent, and don't know if I should only post finished stuff or sketches as well


So, I drew one of my superhero OCs, Cherry Bomb again!!


As a little reminder, here's her info:


HERO NAME: Cherry Bomb

REAL NAME: Joy Akari

SUPERPOWER: She can explode herself. Her damaging explosion turns her into cherry blossoms, and they can then flow back together to reshape herself. She can slightly control the flow of the cherry blossoms

ABILITIES: She's a skilled rollerskater, and is fitting with a kind of "glove" that can pack a punch, as well as fire "cherry bombs" that cause an explosion

PERSONALITY: Very lively and exciteable. Quite energetic. She loves helping people even if she might not be the best at whatever needs help. Not the sharpest tool in the shed tho. Mostly because she doesn't think very far ahead

HOBBIES: She looooooves rollerstaking, and loves to go on walks, exercising, etc. She also likes taking care of the little Sakura bonsai that used to belong to her grandfather


----------------------------


I made some changes to her design. I wanted her to have "spandex" under her "armour", but I couldn't figure out what colour to make it, and I didn't feel like making lines/patterns. So I just took away the spandex and it's just skin now.

Added a little "leaf bracelet" on the cherry gloves instead of just the stem, thinking kinda ahead to her design without the gloves on ig.

Also, for some reason her design reminded me of a rollerskater. So I gave her rollerskates! And I think that's pretty neat. They should be inlines instead tho, but I didn't feel like changing it rn.

Another change I did was a bit of a shift in the colours used to make it look less "overly bright" and combine better with eachother. I darkened the sakura petals a bit and put the lighter colour inside "pattern", made the cherries look a tad bit pinker, and the leaves slightly more muted.

Her eyes LOOK red now instead of actually BEING red. They are brown, but the pink visor makes them look red. I thought that would be neat.

I made her have her hair tied up, so it's now not noticeable from the front. I probably could/should have done a profile or back shot of her head, but basically it's meant to be tied up looking like an unbloomed cherry blossom cuz I thought that'd be neat.

And finally, I gave her some damn eyelashes! Cuz I consistently kept forgetting to give her some since the first drawing!!! Genuinely, check "Cherry Bomb Concept Art", "Sketch 131/365" and "Sketch 273/365". I forgot to give her eyelashes in ALL of those


I made a lil mistake tho. I didn't notice her pose doesn't look as "hyper" as the original. That was not intentional, but unfortunately I only noticed when I was already in the colouring. Might draw her again and make some lil tweaks in the future. But primarily, this was to redraw her and colour her and try to more properly figure out her colour scheme
