Sorry if the audio is weird again in this video 😭I thought I fixed the issue but my new mic set keeps messing me up. I'll figure it out asap.
Great designs!!
You GOTTA paint a world/universe map on the cover--you could include areas for all of the themed characters, or just one. And you could sculpt/3d print little topographic designs for it to give it crazy depth!
Or you could go fairies--I love flower fairies! Cicely Mary Barker is the QUEEN there if you need inspo
Or even tarot card style--one on the front, one on the back!
These are awesome. To add to the partial Guardians of the Galaxy themes, why not add the equivalents of Groot and Drax to add two members who could be the muscle of the group.
For another video why not make a group of villainous alien monitor lizard women who would be like the equivalent of the Thor marvel villains known as the Wrecking Crew. Going further they would each have superman type abilities such as flight, super speed, super strength, and heat vision and would be able to exand on lizards getting energy from warmth by being complete energy batteries.
What do you think?
the audio is a bit weird but on windows the fix is to put the headphones into a mono audio mode and then it works properly, if it's not it only plays on left headphone 😫😫
My left ear really liked the voice over /j
@@KokoseIndeed, this seems to help my issue whenever I've got weird audio, hope it helps her out too!
They're group should be named "THE GORGONS" like the mythological creatures!! They definitely give Stheno, Eurayle and Medusa vibes
SAW SNAKES AND BOUNTY HUNTERS AND CLICKED FASTER THAN MY DAD ACCEPTED THE NAME SUGGESTION "DOODLE" FOR HIS SNAKE
These types of comments are getting so specific XD
Is “Doodle” short for “danger noodle”?
Cus if so….that is an amazing name 🐍 😆
@@Jo-er6tw it is, actually! we shortened danger noodle to doodle lol
Now I wanna see like their archnemesis Cop enemies who are Bird of Prey themed (like Hawks for example, anything that hunts snakes) and they're competent but they always get just narrowly outsmarted by the end, Carmen Sandiego style
Yessss
one can be a mongoose
So essentially the vibe I’m getting for these three’s dynamic is Misery X CPR X Reese’s Puffs
YES WERIDLY ENOUGH????
If this was made into a show or a comic I’d totally see it!💫⭐️☀️🌙🔥🐍✨🐍✨🐍✨🔥🌙☀️⭐️💫
i would be SEATED if it was a show, comic, or movie series. i need it in my life so badly. they dont make em like this no mo
why did i read this as shower lol
How does Kira always come up with these FIRE ideas?? 😍 🔥
Pintrest
You must’ve looked me directly in the eye when making this video, dangling it out like a treat for a cat because THE SPEED IN WHICH I CLICKED WHEN SEEING THE THUMBNAIL!! I absolutely adore snake themed cowboys and recently got to draw one recently so this has a special place in my heart. Ill be watching this over and over for the next few days, thank you 😂😭🤍
She really took the Powerpuff Girls color scheme and made it into an amazing space cowgirl snake characters that I want to turn into a show.
Yeah it would be such a great show! I need more dramatic power girls
I think the crime boss and his minions could be based on the natural predators of various snakes like birds of prey or the mongoose.
God I love this concept so much I want to see these girls commit so much crime 10/10. Tbh it would be great to see some more sci-fi adjacent concept, you could combine so many- Rococco space villains? Space pirates inspired by deep sea creatures Ala treasure planet? Cyborg team inspired by older styles of electronics like those clear gameboys? Potential everywhere
You could paint 2 space goddesses having a tea party while dressed in a vaguely rococo style, that or the room it self could be rococo inspired!
(Absolutely love your channel btw, you really inspire my art and the videos make for great background noise while working! 💛)
That is a very specific, and very interesting, idea.
I like it :D 👍
Love all three space bounty hunters with snake decor, I wonder if they'll be more, like Diamond back, king cobra, viper, constrictor, python, anaconda, coral, asp, who know's.
Obsessed with the femme fatale type character being the Smart Guy archetype. She's smart AND pretty and you just don't see that in media
These character designs and their backstories really remind me of the Starstruck comics by Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta. I think you would like them. Their whole deal is that they're like wacky, vintage-inspired, space shenanigans.
I was looking for someone else who knew the comics!
My left ear really enjoyed the irl sections of this video 👍
But for real these designs are cool as shịt and as a snake lover I'm appreciative of the species selection
Maybe if you do this again you could use a cornsnake morph like the palmetto or tessera cornsnake
Same but it was my right ear? Is it a weird glitch?
my left ear is also the only one hearing this 😔
@@stormfaring
I think your headphones are backwards lol
@@k.h.production22669 well that's embarrassing.
Yoooo these came out so amazing!
Also, you should totally look into Cirque du Soleil outfits, especially the earlier shows of like 10+ years ago!
I will NEVER not say "judgemental shoelace" ever again. It is part of my lexicon for the perceived future.
I enjoy the campy vibes of the design, specially since one can go down the road of edginess with design motives and ideas such as danger noodles, and space bounty hunters, AND morally dubious characters. So seeing such a campy bunch of characters is both refreshing and inspiring to me. Feels like it's ok for me to also do campy with my OC's and my anxious brain thanks you for it :)
And honestly, just the combo of ideas (that I already individually love) is so fun to me. Like, REALLY fun. I enjoyed it and the fact that you also had fun with it adds up to the enjoyment :D
I really feel like Vine Snake and Pit Viper would have, like, an inside joke with eachother? And Bush Viper would have a time trying to get it. Like, in a comedic, light-hearted tone. Like a episode-of-the-week short of vibe, y'know? Maybe it's something embarassing for Pit and she's trying by all means that Vine doesn't spill (becuase she's a troll). Idk, it's just campy, silly fun.
For names... my first thought was Scarlet for Bush Viper? Maybe Escarlata, which is the same name but in spanish lmao. Safira could be Pit's name (means blue gem), and then Nymph could fit Vine Snake, since the blue water lily is Sri Lanka's national flower, Nymphaea is the name of the genus it belongs, and the vine snake IS endemic to Sri Lanka.
You brought up the vine snake being like Harley Quinn, but there is a bit of Poison Ivy going on with her, too. Lol. As always, these are glorious!
brooo i JUST commented about that too 🤣 i said she was like their lovechild
Hello! I hope everyone is doing good today, remember no matter how stressful life gets, never give up!
Kira is single-handedly curing me of years of trying to adhere to "your character designs have to be SIMPLE and EASY to daw" advice, and I am so thankful.
It took a couple days for me to find the time and energy to watch this video, but I got my ipad out and am ready to take notes and inspiration~
Leverage -- group of thieves against corporate villains. If you haven't seen it already, you'll love it! But yis, love the vehicle work and art skills expansion!!
This was a very fun design, not in the least because it's a very different vibe from what you usually gravitate toward!
As always, the diversity of body types and ethnicities is very appreciated!
OK. I've thought about it... for the notebook cover I think you need to make a humanoid version of the Executive Producer... with SWORDS! Please and thank you!
Love the bush viper character’s silhouette!! Doing matching vehicles was an ambitious choice (they do be hard to draw) but gosh darn if you didn’t pull it off so well, kudos
I'll be honest, I am very freaked out by snakes. But I don't wanna miss any of your videos, everything you make is amazing! So I have finally, after many hours, mustered up the courage to watch this video. Wish me luck.
are you alive and okay?? you worded that like your last words to your family before going on a suicide mission 😭
yes i am alright!
Ok but like, the red cowgirl is giving me 1990 Carmen Sandiego vibes and I love it
Ahhh yes, now we’re giving some more attention of snakes and super cool of the vehicle designs (I’ve been wanting to draw them except they’re strongly difficult)
I had so much fun in space today Kira! Thanks for bringing us with you! I love the space cowboy heist sub genre, it’s so perfect.
I love the name Aravis (air-ah-vihs) for the blue viper character, I knew a girl in high school with that name and I always thought it was so cool.
You should watch Leverage and Firefly!!! It's exactly te dynamic you were describing of crime based, found family who are trying to fight corrupt governments. Both wonderfu shows
You created way more depth and complex yet interesting characters with original background stories than wut disney can pull off ngl
the story kinda gives carmen sandiego vibes. woman works for criminal organization but ends up going against them and foils their plans
seeing you do vehicles and branch out into that area was cool! maybe for a future video you can pick up some of the abandoned characters and design settings like cool environments, idk if thats your taste but it would be interesting
If I had a nickel for every square space sponsor you've gotten, I'd have too many nickels to count.
Not sure if you ever do redesigns or anything but maybe your own take on the four horseman of the apocalypse? Or other mythological deities/creatures into characters? Loving the designs as always!💜
😎🍻😎
BOUNTYYY HUNTERSS
Your character designs have given me so much inspiration for my own character designers :D
i love everything about the first cowgirl down to the angel personality bc he’s my favorite and the firey to burgundy color palette
Now we need the showgirl inside girls too! They sound very cute and I'd love to see more reptile girls !!
If you haven't seen it maybe check out the show firefly ? It's space western scifi and might be up your alley!
These feel like a love letter to Vash the Stampede, Cowboy Bebop, Harley Quinn (the animated show), and The Great Pretender. But more cyberpunk and of course more Snakey.
As a curvy girl i truly appreciate you making a plus-sized model for the skinny noodle 💚💚💚💚💚
I really love all of your videos and the aesthetics of the DIYs and drawings you do. They all bring me so much joy! Actively recommending you to everyone I know!
Absolutely in love with the Blue Snake design and vehicle!!!,😮
you keep saying you are not very good at something but you knock it out of the park before the end. very good job.
Can I just be the one to say thank you for making my sick day a little less crappy with this video? Also, if you need name suggestions:
Bush Viper - Briar (To reference the thorns of a rose, which are mostly red like the Bush Viper. Also, Bushes makes me think of Rose Bushes.)
Blue Pit Viper - Baine (To reference Wolfsbane, a blue poisonous flower. It's also Irish for "White/Fair" to reference the White-Lipped aspect of the name.)
Vine Snake - Ivy (Vines & Ivy's are the same, but, this name could also reference Poison Ivy.)
Side Note: IDK why I went with a full-on flower theme here. I guess it's because I wanted the team to be named after flowers/plants to go with the beautiful but deadly vibes they got going on.
I was also thinking Vinny for the vine snake!
You should make a book compiling all the characters like this you've made I'd buy the hell out of that!!!!!
Ngl my first thought when seeing this video was Cowboy Bebop, which the red snake girl embodies perfectly. 10\10 video.
Love how these gals turned out! Iconic designs as always.
As for name ideas:
Bush Viper- Scarlett (because red)
Pit Viper- Marina (like aquamarine)
Vine Snake- Ivy (cause vines lol)
They fit the color stereotypes so well lol. Not a bad thing they just sorta fit. Like the red stereotype is the leader and is usually broody/burdened by their past and responsibilities or becomes that way over time. Blue is generally associated with water, speed, agility, and are either pretty flashy or stealthy and a lot of times seem to have some kind of dance something or other. Green usually seems to be the big "fluffy" character that's super friendly and kind and likes animals but hurt any one or anything they care about and watch out they're an unstoppable tank out for revenge.
i know that this must’ve already been brought up thousands of times but is holiday/ christmas stuff happening at all? if so i’d like to suggest gingerbread knights or snowflake related things😁😁
I am obsessed with these designs! They’re so pretty. I’m especially in love with the blue snake she’s so pretty omg
Maybe for one of these turning things into people you could go the more mythical route and design dragons! Maybe you could design dragons and maybe their human counterparts (that might be a bit difficult now that I think about it) but I feel it would be really interesting to see what way you would/ could design dragons :D
aaah the colors on these are so good!! i love the contrasting colors on the vine snake w the vehicle
Bush Viper looks like a sort of anti-hero version of Carmen Sandiego? And I am LIVING for it!! I love all their designs!!
I think, for some reason, this is the earliest I’ve ever been to one of your videos
"The vine snake, aka judgmental shoelace" brought me so much joy, I needed that after this morning. Also fun fact: the white-lipped island pit viper's actually green in 99% of its range. It's only blue on, like, one island of its entire range. So that could be something that gets worked into her character somehow.
Edit: I'm not surprised you struggled with the shapes - you chose two vipers (which have triangular heads and stocky bodies) and the vine snake (which is a shoelace with a narrow but still incredibly triangular head). You might have been able to have an easier time with the shape language if you'd chosen something that tended to another shape, like a cobra, a shieldtail snake, or hey - the tentacled snake. If you ever feel like trying a Part 2, you could shake things up a lot by just branching into other snake families.
Rough scaled bush viper
Gera (based on the second part of the snake’s scientific name Atheris squamigera, Jane/Annie (after famous cowgirls calamity Jane and Annie Oakley), Aspasia (Greek girls name meaning serpent woman) Echidna (Greek half snake half woman and mother of several Greek monsters), Cauda (based on Serpens cauda or serpent’s tail of the Serpens constilation) Briar (in reference to spiky scales/bush part of name) kalinda (Hindu girls name meaning sun in reference to sunset coloring), Alecto (fury that embodies endless rage)
White lipped island pit viper
Amphisbaena (after two-headed Greek serpent that symbolizes duality and adaptability) Fanta (gender neutral American name meaning fantastic/based on color, Sula (from scientific name Trimeresurus insularis), Lucrezia (from Lucrezia Borgia, historical femme fatale), Megaera (fury embodying jealous rage) Vesperia (Latin girls name meaning evening star), Tiffany (from Tiffany blue, roughly the color of the snake) Siri (tech + I associate Siri with the color blue/Scandinavian girls name meaning beautiful victory)
Vine Snake
Tisiphone (fury embodying murder), Tulla/Nasuta (from scientific name Ahaetulla nasuta) Clara (after Clara Bow, famous female clown from the early 1900s) Zelena (Croatian girls name meaning green/derived from Selena, Greek goddess of the moon)
The thumbnail vehicles are giving Lego Ninjago snake vehicles in the best way.
I was already in love with your character designs, but OH MY GOD THE VEHICLES ARTWORKS ARE SO FUUUUN!! ♥
I love the space, bounty hunter, snake version of blossom, bubbles, and Buttercup
BTW, absolutely loved the video
These turned out wonderfully and I am obsessed with the vehicle designs! They were really interesting and cool to see you have a crack at and not even something I had considered in terms of character designs before so that was really fun. I would love to see you do even more of that kind of 'out of the box' element in future videos! Even if its more vehicles that'd be rad
The wheel vehicle also reminded me of an aerial hoop so 10/10
It’s giving the crows from six of crows! Love it
oooooo oceans 11 + mandolorian aesthetic really hooked me in
I could TOTALLY see a situation in this universe where these ladies are pulling a heist in the casino and they're forced to do a show onstage just like they used to when they were working for Mr Crimelord
your round character are so beautiful !! thanks for making various body shape (although always pretty and hour glass) and making the skin roll and fat fold and I don't know what it's called in english but I have those and I'm happy to see it on such charismatic character
Despite the themes and concepts being outside of your usual stuff I am wholeheartedly inspired to make art outside of what I am used to and make it into something new. Thank your for that.
great video! :D have you considered making cool character designs for different species of shark? i think it would be really cool. Especially if you did a whale shark, an oceanic whitetip and a thresher shark or maybe a wobbagong or something :3
The vine snake character is giving Shark from the Bad Guys, specially since she's the one that's the distraction in missions. I can see her reenacting the "I'M HAVING A BABY!!" scene
Absolutely loved the vehicles you designed along with them. Such cool designs!
I know you said that it is a weird video and they're not well-thought out but honestly this is one of my favorites among your character design videos! I think their designs and dynamics are really cool and interesting and the art looks awesome!
They're ✨fab✨. They're giving villainous magic girls. Magic girl criminals. They could be the protagonists committing heists. And a more justice-aligned group of magic girls could fight them.
If we go with the bounty hunter approach, I wonder how fab their targets would be lol.
Bush viper: Atheris
Pit viper: Kyana
Judgemental shoelace: Urusha
I love the vine snake girl! She’s so cute!
Hear me out. The vine snake has Anne Boleyn (six) energy. Mabey it's just the sleves pattern or I'm just going crazy. All the designs are gorgeous, I really like the red one cos cowboy 🥰
pit viper - fliss/felis (both short for felicity)
vine snake - nadia/giselle
bush viper - auburn/jolene
Please make more of these! Or at least more in this universe. I wanna see their person/people on the inside. Maybe the crime lord's thing actually has a different animal theme so anyone on the inside would have that other animal's theme until they switch sides?
The blue one was my favorite!
all of these girls are SOOOOOO lovely. and since you kept saying the last one was a lil harley quinn inspired, i couldnt help feeling like she was the lovechild of harley and ivy 😭 she’s literally so perfect to me and her hair is everything. i highkey wanted to dress as her for halloween, but im no costumemaker 😔
amazing video as always. big fan of the bounty hunter sci-fi girl-group (complete with a space cowgirl woo)
ok as a snake enjoyer who owns a snake i have to give suggestions for next time!!
mexcian black king snakes are black and iridescent. green tree pythons are green as adults but are born yellow or red, and turn green patch-by-patch as they age- perfect visual interest for a younger apprentice character. san fransisco garter snakes have a vibrant black-orange-cyan coloration. and flying snakes don't have the most unique pattern/color, BUT they fly by FLARING THEIR RIBS, so if you ever feel like doing body horror....... 👀
My current hyperfixaton is Star Wars and I've been rewatching Mandalorian to cope, so space western bounty hunters is absolutely perfect for me right now!
Edit: I love how the judgemental noodle ended up being both Harley Quinn AND Poison Ivy
Love all these designs!! So fun to see some different genre stuff from you :)
Im a sucker for anything cowboy and the bush viper looks aWESOME
This is so incredibly cool, i LOVE your designs!!
Your vehicle designs remind me of the vehicle's from Ninjago and I think that's really cool.
out of nowhere and only 2 minutes in, but I really wanna say how ADORABLE your hair is!! Love that style it's super cute and fun!
I'm SUPER surprised you don't have more views on your videos because good frickin HEAVENS your art is not only absolutely drop dead gorgeous, but your designs are wicked creative and get the personality and vibe of the character across Very well !!!! I love all the shape language incorporated as well YAAAH !!! And I really love the snake choices too, especially vine snake, the smollest noodle bby
I love these designs! I might just design some of my own! The bush viper really reminds me of Esmerelda or Scarlette. I feel like the Island Pit Viper could be named just Viper. Idk it just kinda fits in my head. Or Cirus.
I was watching this video while there was having an storm that almost FLOODED my house while eating coockies.
But the good news is that our guinea pig pet is fine and did not had to reenact that Titatic scene! 😃YAY!!
This would make a wonderful dnd campaign
One of your coolest concepts yet!
For the cover: paint yourself smashing the disco ball with fireworks and the year # going off behind you
This dropped one hour ago and I AM PUMPED because your art inspires the shit out of me! Also at 6:30 in the vid my first brain dead thought was: “MUHAHAHAAH-*chokes, clears throat* sorry.”
Hi, I absolutely love your drawing style and how high fashion you make everything seem. I really like how you explain your thought process in each video of how you design these characters, but perhaps you could consider making an art tutorial as well? I would love to see your techniques better explained!
Watched this design when getting my first tattoo - love this channel soooooo much
I love that you basically made snake girls in Cowboy Bebop's universe
this is such a fun concept! and i love the finished designs! btw, Thierry Mugler is pronounced Terry Mewglair
I need this as a tv series I would so watch this
* Gasp *
Honey wake up! Pricklyalpacha has posted a new video!
love the concept for this though... i love weird and wacky aesthetic combos. space cowboys lesgo
Blue snake girl is really pretty 💙🐍
The vine snake character’s ship reminds me of the gungans’ underwater vehicles and structures in The Phantom Menace 🤩
