The giant, artisan pizza cutter thing is actually called a 'mezzaluna' meaning half moon in Italian. It's a sharp, curved or crescent shaped blade(s) attached to one or two handles that is skillfully rocked back and forth in a swift, smooth motion to make a precise, seamless cut across a broad surface or to quickly dice herbs, vegetables, anything really into a fine mince. I love how you encorporated at the subtle details into these designs. There's a lot going on, but in the best way.
Pierogi are the superior dish and I am not saying that just because I'm Polish, that's for sure 🥟🥟 very important question tho, Miss Kira, have you ever eaten sweet version of pierogi, with fruit filling? Usually it's strawberry or blackberry but can also be plumbs and others and they're eaten with sweet cream and sugar on top and are the best of the best for both the dinner and the dessert ❤
Every time my family has ever made pierogi, we boil them and THEN fry them- I don’t know if that’s traditional lol, but I’m from a very polish family and this is how we’ve always done it. Would 10/10 suggest eating them with sour cream for peak potato vibes
@@breannakurszewski7693 in Poland we always boil pierogi, no matter the filling, and sometimes fry the one with meat/cheese/mushroom and other similar filling, but frying is not really mandatory, it's a bonus and not necessarily that popular all over Poland. At least in the part of Poland where I live we don't do it that often I guess
Loving the rampant maximalism on display 😁 I know you think the designs came out a bit campy, but I love them, they would fit in well on a D&D quest or in an animated feature film. In particular I was thinking about the cheese dresses in Laika’s Boxtrolls and artist Alexandre Diboine’s food themed characters. Great job!
These were adorable, but Pizzadin was my favorite. Just something about a lady with armor. Shoutout to not only sharing all of this excellent art and costuming with us, but to you diving into the fantasy tabletop vibes with this one. Had a near audible cheer moment when the Pathfinder ninja and witch appeared.
My favorite thing about these designs is how dynamic you made the poses this time! Maybe that's why the Ice Cream Witch looks off to you?? When you look at them altogether, she definitely stands out as having a generic standing pose, when all the other characters are in motion. That being said, she's probably the one I would want to see turned into a costume the most out of all of them, because of how maximalist the design is! THE HAT makes me feel a type of way. Also, the sprinkles on her transparent sleeves 😍Also, ALSO, I'm sure it was unintentional but her color scheme is very Trans Pride Flag, and today (3/31) is Trans Day of Visibility, so personally, I think she should be a transfemme ice cream cone witch. I think the Pierogi Cleric is my favorite of all of them. She's just... SO CUTE 💖
Name Suggestions: For Pizza: Her real name could be something like "Marina" as a reference to Marinara, but her title could be something like "Lady Supreme", as a reference to the pizza you used to reference her, also personally the title name sounds like she means buisness. For Ramen: Maybe something like Tsubaki or Tsubasa, because the "Tsuba" part kinda sounds like "Soba", as in "Soba Noodles", which are alot like Ramen. For Ice Cream: Either Parfait (Which, fun fact, means "Perfect" in French), or Nia (As in Neapolitan). For Pierogi: Theodora or maybe even Teddy, which is a reference to the founder of Mrs. T's Pierogies: Ted Twardzik.
Since there's also an abundance of pretty pictures of flowery to witchy to gothic teacups, maybe an fun character design prompt could be those sorts of images, maybe with a lolita style like a bunch of eccentric Victorians getting ready for a tea party. Also a lot of the flowers used in some teas have medicinal properties which could make interesting elements of a character. Basically i just want my favourite rooibos tea personified
I feel like the pizza girl and the pierogi girl would be the more calm members to the team, while the other to would be louder, more energetic and chaotic perhaps. Also miss pizza gives off big sister vibes and pierożek is totally a youngest child... I think the two would usually stick together, with miss pizza being very protective of the little one. As for the names, the pierogi girl looks like Mirka (a short form of Mirosława - old Slavic name meaning the one who praise/glorifies the peace, which suits a healer I believe) and the pizza girl looks like Bella, the beautiful one ❤
Aaahhh!!! These are delightful! I adore the pierogi girl especially! I had the idea recently of character designs based off of classic Slashers/Horror villains. Like Ghostface, Jason Vorhees, Killer Clowns, etc. and I think it’d be a fun challenge to come up with some slashers of your own!
I think mt favourite gotta be Pizza and Pierigi ! They look beautiful while including recognizable elements of the food they are based off. Ramen is THE food, now I crave Ramen so baad. I also love Icecreams colours.
I can unfortunately not eat perogies because for some, unknown, reason they make me extremely sick, but the character design is adorable and I love it! I love all of them, actually. It's hard NOT to like any of your character designs :D
Pierogi supremacy !! A pierog can also mean pie in sime slavic languages, and pirozhki are like long-ish yeast dough buns with various fillings (sweet or savory) and those are just🤌🤌🤌 A classic grandma dish
I love when people break international laws with their medic designs! (The red cross is a protected symbol under international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions which i think is only kinda dumb ^^)
I first had pierogis in Polands and they were filled with sweet cheese it was so delicious. I have never quite been able to find American pierogies that were quite as good.
These are so awsome! I've always loved maximalism character designs and ur videos always inspire me to create some of my own. Pizza one is def my fav, but the ramen one has so much character, thanks Kira! :)
this is so iconic omg. I think i'm in love with the ramen girl but then again i also just love ramen. like an EGG HAT??? CMONNNNNN IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. IT REALLY DOESN'T.
Pierogi and Pizza are so freaking cute! I used to play this asian gotcha game called Food Fantasy, that the entire premise was personified food characters that you made battle teams out of to fight other food characters. I'd definitely choose your Pierogi and Pizza for my tank healer team any day!
I love pierogi. My boyfriend is polish and love when I get to help his mother make them. Potato and cheese are definitely the best, but the sweet apple or strawberry ones are really nice too.
I love how kira was grump about became hungry because of this video, so fill the video with lots of shots of food so the audience will share the hungry feeling.😂
I love the characters one quick thing through pierogi is already plural, the singular form is pieróg. Also, I have a recommendation for pierogi filling farmer's cheese. It's great a little sweet but too sweet and it's just amazing
I think that all of these designs are so well done!!! Its hard to pick a fave, but i’d have to go with Pierogi healer because i always play support in video games lol. Plus she’s cute and I like the light coming from her hands. And i also like the idea of healing food~
omg i was't expecting pierogi! They're all so beautiful. I'm bias for ms pierogi tho! In Polish, we call them Pierogi Ruskie (which means like russian pierogi which always makes me laugh cuz many dishes eaten in Poland has names on other countries in it lol)
Someone probably already said this but highly recommend Dimension 20s Crown of Candy for food inspired fantasy design inspiration. The entire campaign is basically game of thrones x candyland
The pizza girl could be named Margherita: it's an italian name, the name of a flower (daisys) and the *name of the first pizza* The inventor called it Margherita after the queen of italy Margherita, that is said to be the one that the dish was made for Little italian flex lol Edit: margherita flavor is the basic italian one: mozzarella, tomato and basilico leaves
amazing and lovely designs as always!! I've been meaning to thank you for being such a huge inspiration to me- I've been fighting art block for a while now and your concept art videos have inspired me so much :D I am currently trying to turn a pair of vases I've seen a museum recently into a design, and, while frustrating in some parts, is a ton of fun ^^
Pierogi Cleric is super sweet until you insult her cooking, then she brains you with the wooden spork I love the supreme pizza-din, you definitely did a good job blending the inspiration in w/o the camp (tho I do like some camp). The pan handle on the shield could even be used to block and parry sword strikes, which is a cool touch
Name ideas for the food girls: Pizza Paladin: Margherita (from the Italian dish Pizza Margherita) Ramen Ninja: Kin (meaning golden like golden ramen noodles) or Nanami (it can mean beautiful greens like all the vegetables found in ramen) Ice cream mage: Dulce (meaning sweet in Spanish and ice cream is sweet) Pierogi cleric: valery (Unisex polish name meaning strength/health)
pierogis are f**king MAGICAL they are the BEST and it doesn't matter where you are from you need to try them, I'm american and holy S***\ update:went out and got some :)
The Pizza Knight (super gorgeous btw!) reminds me of when I designed a pizza inspired Star Wars padawan character a few years ago. Instead of lightsabers they fought with light-pizza cutters.
You mentioning the Pierogi healer using cooking To heal reminds me of the anime The saint's this power is omniscient where there's a Scene where the main character actually infuses healing herbs into her cooking and it actually heals people
Okay is it bad that I genuinely want to consume these ocs? Like I actually want to just..devour them. I'm sorry but this is delicious character design Eye candy. PEAK TASTINESS!
The best pierogie I've ever had was from a little street vendor in Pittsburgh during an arts festival and I have craved it ever since~ People also apparently put fruit in pierogies sometimes? Never had that, though.

Can you see barnyard animals as musicans.❤😊😇🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👌
What about some drink-based characters? A tea character would be super cute!
@Karis Kontilis ooooo even better! I'm an absolute tea fiend and am 100% onboard with this idea
I think she's already done something similar, but drinks as a whole sounds interesting
I SECOND THIS SO HARD.
Literal Kool Aid man
Oh yes a Bubbke Tea character !

As a polish person I did not expect pierogi to be here going into this video
Pierogi are the superior dish and I am not saying that just because I'm Polish, that's for sure 🥟🥟

exactly, i especially like pierogi with plumbs, they are also called knedle. Great video!

@@nagietek6091 that’s really neat- thanks for sharing that lil cultural tidbit!
@@breannakurszewski7693 I'm always happy to spread the knowledge about pierogi 🥟😁
let me tell you, you made every Polish person's day by including pierogi💖
How hungry did you get drawing this?
yes
Very
Yes
yes
I got very hungry watching it, despite the fact that I'd just had lunch

nice ideas!
This made me realize how amazing your artstyle would be for some Crown of Candy characters since it's every character is food
Ok but all the Dungeons & Dragons terms make me so happy as a DM! I love the pierogi cleric looks so good!

Pierogis are also a big thing in Saskatchewan, where I was born, so they've always been a comfort food for me. Really cute designs!

I LOOOOVEEE how the pizza toppings motif makes her skirt looks lie a medieval tapestry!!! ♥♥♥
POLSKA GÓRĄ
Sorry, it's so nice to see people enjoying pierogi in other countries.
Turning Moths into Detectives
The balance of 2 camp characters and 2 subtle characters is ✨immaculate✨
0:58 I was born in Pittsburgh, and I still live there so I get it.
Pierogies ARE SO GOOD! Then again, many cultures' dough with stuff in it has been a delicious, staple of eating in my life.
I think mt favourite gotta be Pizza and Pierigi ! They look beautiful while including recognizable elements of the food they are based off.
Ramen is THE food, now I crave Ramen so baad.
I also love Icecreams colours.
love some good food based characters!
I can unfortunately not eat perogies because for some, unknown, reason they make me extremely sick, but the character design is adorable and I love it! I love all of them, actually. It's hard NOT to like any of your character designs :D
Pierogi supremacy !!
A pierog can also mean pie in sime slavic languages, and pirozhki are like long-ish yeast dough buns with various fillings (sweet or savory) and those are just🤌🤌🤌
A classic grandma dish
I think the ice cream witch should have buns in her hair to indicate scoops of ice cream. Her colors are so pretty ✨ and the outfit is adorable!
Kira you work so hard and everything you upload is just SO GOOD! Thank you for your content! We appreciate all the effort you put into it! 🎉
I love when people break international laws with their medic designs! (The red cross is a protected symbol under international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions which i think is only kinda dumb ^^)
As someone from Pittsburgh who didn't 100% like pierogi, you talked so lovingly about them that I thought I should try them again soon
I first had pierogis in Polands and they were filled with sweet cheese it was so delicious. I have never quite been able to find American pierogies that were quite as good.
yeah to find pierogi like that in America you have to make them by hand and it helps if the recipe you use has been passed down through generations
The cleric is my favorite!
‘It’s a Pittsburgh thing’ straight up killed me. What IS that mascot?!?! Iconic.
Also pierogi girl is my favorite ❤️
No but I have an idea for the ramen girl! If somebody hits her egg hip things then smoke relieves so the enemy can’t see her!
OMG PIEROGI my favorite food ever! My grandma makes them with onions or a cream sauce.
Can I just say that my jaw just dropped to the next prehistoric finding whenever you mentioned yet another amazingly posh and clever design choice?
Omg we be eating good tonight another prickly video
Was not expecting pierogi to be one of the girls! Also i love how all of them just have such varying subtlety
Nicely done this is genius
These are so awsome! I've always loved maximalism character designs and ur videos always inspire me to create some of my own. Pizza one is def my fav, but the ramen one has so much character, thanks Kira! :)
this is so iconic omg. I think i'm in love with the ramen girl but then again i also just love ramen. like an EGG HAT??? CMONNNNNN IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. IT REALLY DOESN'T.
They are all so fantastic, as usual. But as a fellow pizza lover, the pizza girl really has my heart. I want to see this party's adventures.
👍👍these came out awesome and I had to pause for a cheese break 👍😆
I LOVE pierogi! One of the ren faires in FL has a booth with the BEST pierogi and it (and the pickle man) are the highlight of the season for me.
THESE LOOK AMAZING :DDDD
Pierogi and Pizza are so freaking cute! I used to play this asian gotcha game called Food Fantasy, that the entire premise was personified food characters that you made battle teams out of to fight other food characters. I'd definitely choose your Pierogi and Pizza for my tank healer team any day!
I love pierogi. My boyfriend is polish and love when I get to help his mother make them. Potato and cheese are definitely the best, but the sweet apple or strawberry ones are really nice too.
I literally love everything about this!! Ramen girl SLAYS
We are being blessed with so many amazing videos. The night is warmer. My skin is cleared. The heart is home.
Me watching this while fasting : 😫
🍦girl is giving major Bi aesthetic
They are all so cool. I think the ice cream girl is my favorite! 💗🩵🍦
this is giving strong crown of candy character vibes love it!
I love how kira was grump about became hungry because of this video, so fill the video with lots of shots of food so the audience will share the hungry feeling.😂
I love ice scream and ramen
My fav pierogi turned into art
I love the characters one quick thing through pierogi is already plural, the singular form is pieróg. Also, I have a recommendation for pierogi filling farmer's cheese. It's great a little sweet but too sweet and it's just amazing
I love perogi
Perogi is love
Perogi is life
I've had a whole month once where I only ate perogi
i love watching your videos! they help alot with my own creative-block.
I think that all of these designs are so well done!!! Its hard to pick a fave, but i’d have to go with Pierogi healer because i always play support in video games lol. Plus she’s cute and I like the light coming from her hands. And i also like the idea of healing food~
How to push myself back into drawing : Watch one of your videos and see there's a NEW ONE OUT
The designs are so good but also that shirt in the intro is amazing
I love love LOVE your art and all the things you create on your channel
omg i was't expecting pierogi! They're all so beautiful. I'm bias for ms pierogi tho! In Polish, we call them Pierogi Ruskie (which means like russian pierogi which always makes me laugh cuz many dishes eaten in Poland has names on other countries in it lol)
* Polish intensyfies *
We love the ice-cream girl with the trans colours ✨
Someone probably already said this but highly recommend Dimension 20s Crown of Candy for food inspired fantasy design inspiration. The entire campaign is basically game of thrones x candyland
Witch girl ice cream- Caramella , cherry , strawberry ,hazel
Ramen girl- Sakura, hinata from Naruto, Ponyo, Yani , Moxie
Pizza girl - margarita, Lisa, Venus , Athena
The pizza girl could be named Margherita: it's an italian name, the name of a flower (daisys) and the *name of the first pizza*
The inventor called it Margherita after the queen of italy Margherita, that is said to be the one that the dish was made for
Little italian flex lol
Edit: margherita flavor is the basic italian one: mozzarella, tomato and basilico leaves
amazing and lovely designs as always!! I've been meaning to thank you for being such a huge inspiration to me- I've been fighting art block for a while now and your concept art videos have inspired me so much :D

For some reason I misheard @14:58 as “Sapphic Lolita” which isn’t correct, but kinda still fits aesthetically 💗
Pierogi!!! Getting the love it deserves!!!
I had wondered where you were going to take my precious mashed potato ravioli, but the payoff was chef's kiss (pun slightly intended)
What are you talking about, Pierogi baby is officially my favorite of her cohort. XDDD
Name ideas for the food girls:
Pizza Paladin: Margherita (from the Italian dish Pizza Margherita)
Ramen Ninja: Kin (meaning golden like golden ramen noodles) or Nanami (it can mean beautiful greens like all the vegetables found in ramen)
Ice cream mage: Dulce (meaning sweet in Spanish and ice cream is sweet)
Pierogi cleric: valery (Unisex polish name meaning strength/health)
Petition to get the ice cream witch into a costume or cosplay 😁 I love her design she’s so pretty!!❤
pierogis are f**king MAGICAL they are the BEST and it doesn't matter where you are from you need to try them, I'm american and holy S***\
update:went out and got some :)
i always love your character designs, super inspiring!!
i love your character design videos, im so inspired by them!! i would love to see one about bugs, like preying mantis or stag beetle hehe
Ok but you should know that Murillo days this past week I woke up in the middle of the night with your Patreon names list playing in my head. 😂
The Pizza Knight (super gorgeous btw!) reminds me of when I designed a pizza inspired Star Wars padawan character a few years ago. Instead of lightsabers they fought with light-pizza cutters.
Probably should not be this attracted to pizza paladin lady but the heart do be gay
These are stunning! Really inspired me to cosplay a ramen girl/ ice cream witch
This idea just randomly came to my mind, and I immediately thought of you, seasons 🌸☀️🍂❄️ as vampires 🧛♂️🦇🧛♀️
Alright i can't be the only one who laugh when kira said "pierogis".
Polish people here's place for you

My favorite design is the Ice Cream Witch
pierogies are so so so good
So beautiful!!!
I would play a game with all of these characters! 🤩💕
So beautiful as always!!! Ice Cream girl is my favorite
pierogi is so precious im keeping them in my pocket
You mentioning the Pierogi healer using cooking To heal reminds me of the anime The saint's this power is omniscient where there's a Scene where the main character actually infuses healing herbs into her cooking and it actually heals people
This made me so hungry. I love it
The pierogi cleric is my favorite

Lovely, honestly. And now I am hungry for some ramen and pierogi
The best pierogie I've ever had was from a little street vendor in Pittsburgh during an arts festival and I have craved it ever since~ People also apparently put fruit in pierogies sometimes? Never had that, though.
Watching your videos makes me want to lear drawing to put my creativity to use! Amazing, and now I’m hungry 😂❤
