(to those who don't know: Miscrits is a creature-collecting game similar to Pokémon, except that there's a simpler elemental system and all Miscrits have four stages/evolutions, which can be achieved by simply levelling up!)

apparently Miscrit sprites are made using vector programs like Illustrator, so i tried to do one myself as a sort of... practice and getting a feel of it.

so i tried Affinity Designer! oh MAN it was difficult at first since i'm so used to Procreate, especially with the shape forming and linework! but i eventtually got the hang of it. i still have a long way to go to learn all of Affinity's features, though, so for now i am trying to make a feel of it.

by the way, i am trying to create a redesign of a Miscrit named Ribos! here's my progress so far with the first stage/evolution! :D
as i've stated in the artwork description, i'm going to accept constructive criticism since it's my first time making something with 100% vectors (especially with the highlight and shadow shapes), but do mind that i'm trying to emulate the Miscrits style.

anyway, i'll try to gain more experience with Affinity Designer soon, and i'm excited to see what more i can do with it especially for future Miscrits designs i will make! :D

(also i may be showing my redesign to the Miscrits Reborn server hours later... but i will be treading with caution since some people there are just toxic and/or inappropriate. i feel like i'm among the few people there with proper online etiquette /srs)

and now i try to rest haha it's past 3 AM here now /lh
