Okay so Iska's designs were and absolute WILD ride, because how does one draw distortion without her looking a little funky (And it took me a solid ten minutes to figure out how to rotate an image on here because it kept automatically inserting her sideways and I couldn't find ANY options on how to rotate, settings were useless, my only options were crop and replace. Imagine searching up "how to rotate images." Anyway, I solved it by adding her images to my google drive and then uploading her that way. Chat, is this her messing with me?
This is actually another character of mine but I feel like her design might fit Iska more. Of course I would have to alter it a bit but this character's whole deal is that her form changes each time you see her, but you can still tell it's her from a mile away. I was writing this character as an SCP but I couldn't figure out how to add her. Like, I joined wiki but I can't edit sites :(
Now, she was origninally called Jam, because I asked the gc to name a character without seeing her and the first response I got was Jam. So if she doesn't become Iska, call her Jam. Her magic system, relying on candy, I wanna keep it but maybe give her design to Iska later on.
Anyway I also feel like the drawing process matches her too, like I only draw her with pen, no pencil guide lines and I fill out a full pattern sleeve before even starting the outline of the next one, and I always mess up somewhere so I have to change the design from the prevous one but it's really hard to tell. She changes every time but you can still tell it's her, so she's actually a really good drawing exersize or whenever I want to have something to keep me busy for a long time, so three hours? Which isn't that long but it depends. V1 was only three hours, V3 took three days.
This is Iska's human disguise, as you can tell she looks a lot more human, yet there is still something really wrong about her. Maybe she just has a wide mouth and maybe it's makeup, like poorly blended makeup under her eye? But it's her open eye that really gives it away. I also drew her like this using my usual method of only pen, no guidlines (not like I use them with pencil), just a mental stick figure and draw along with that and hope it comes out well, so I can't undo some of my mistakes while drawing but that's Iska for you.
Next we have her shifting from her human disguise to her usual forms, like you just caught her in the middle of changing forms, which is really rude to walk in on a girl changing. You should've knocked first.
This was her design for a while. It doesn't feel as distorted (?) enough to be the force of distortion herself, but I formulated this design from the alphabet soup of my brain and then I souped up this design. She's not bad but there's most definately room to redesign. But it is a massive upgrade from her first design. And then the current design is better.
I also kinda like this one but it isn't confusing enough. If you can fully comprehend Iska, then she isn't doing a good job at being Iska.
Here I drew her digitally. It was the second time I drew on my iPad in over a year and the first person I drew in over a year, first time I drew without outlines. Not the best drawing of Iska but it's colored and I'm still happy with the lights on the ferris wheel because It was the first time I drew lights digitally. I don't draw digitally that often, especially since how sucky my iPad battary is. I wish that I drew her in a pose other than this one because she's always in here. Next time I'll draw her in a more disturbing pose.
But now I had to take my iPad off my icloud acc because of how ACTUALLY ASS the storage is and I have 103 photos on my phone, and it appears that it takes up most of my storage. Legit, my beats headphones are also by apple, which explains how none of them lasted a year. As soon as my phone breaks from falling off a coffee table, I'm getting an android or something.
Anyway, this is her very first design. It feels kinda wrong but I drew this up in twenty minutes during biology class, sophmore year (10th grade) when I was supposed to be doing work so it wasn't exactly bound for greatness. The difference between this one and the five designs above this one is that they all look distorted but they look more like they could be the force of distortion herself. The first design looks like she would be a part of Iska's carnival, not Iska. And even still, more like a victim of the spirit of distortion than the being of Iska herself.
Anyway the original part of this was supposed to be kinda like a demonic ballerina. It did not work out.
More drawings of different versions of Iska because I felt like it, I mainly use her to experiment drawing patterns on characters, clothing, and doing disturbing character drawings. I only learned how to draw a spines because of Iska, so I thank her for that. I'm not a fan of her eyes in V6, but I really like her spines.
