I Got Nothing I Just Though Him Firing The Gun In The Bulette's Mouth In Ep 4 Of The Campaign Was Cool

he got beat up in ep 4 and 5 of the campaign and it was great

anyways I'm done for the night unless I draw more

prick. /affectionate fuck blue hair and pronouns, grey hair and pronouns is in. took some inspo from @ kyynas lovely Joxter design please go look at their incredible art please please please

I really like the idea of Joxter having a nautical vibe. it's also a fun contrast to Snufkin's forest goblin energy. I did leaves instead of flowers in his hat for the same reason. Just tried giving him a sort of chilly vibe, like a sea breeze idk. I also tried my best to make him look like a rat but like a well dressed rat.

tried something w adding a watermark I made for school. is it something I'm gonna continue using? idk. makes me feel professional though. [I am not].

This has gotta be one of my favorite conversations from s2.

oc moment. this is Blaze. this isn't his usual outfit. he's a transmasc autistic[coded] bee humanoid pirate.

had a random urge to draw Percy again and like how these turned out. I'm feral for this man he's so fun. he's a goober. tried messing around with rendering.

Silly guys. They bounce and squeak in my head sometimes.

Hot take, apparently, but

a) Percy's hair in TLOVM isn't that bad. It's simple and effective and the built-in shading really helps give dimension to his head. And, more importantly...

b) consider that in the earlier concept art, he does have cool hair. So the hair he ended up with was a conscious choice by Taliesin and Phil Bourassa (and any other artists involved in the process).

Look. He went from this...

... to this:

It doesn't seem all that easier to animate (and if Percy being a pain in the ass was an issue, wouldn't the simplified coat/etc. already accomplish that?), but the main thing that stands out is how much younger it makes Percy look.

Which, y'know, is important, given S1 focuses on his trauma suffered as a teenager. Which was not all that long ago.

He is young, the second youngest of Vox Machina! And a core part of Percy's character is that, despite thinking he and Vex are the only adults in the room, he is not nearly as mature as he thinks he is. Which is also apparent in his more silly moments in S2, which are also complimented by the more boyish hairstyle.

Percy shouldn't be taken too seriously, which I think is emphasized by how much Taliesin makes a point to underline his flaws and bully the character when he can. With the gunslinging and shock-white hair and cool coat and shadow demon and a castle to put it all in, he's already bordering on too cool; making him look like a stud when he's really just a nerd would make it harder to pull off comedic moments with him. On top of emphasizing the horror of what happened to him at the hands of the Briarwoods and Ripley; he's still so young.

And as an audience we need to be reminded of that when he's pulling off a cool pose or trying to flirt with Vex or getting all raspy with the Orthax voice.

Anyways, art is subjective, but Percy as a character walks the fine line between 'coolass anime protagonist' and 'cringefail nerd' and I think the artists and Taliesin knew what they were doing refusing to let him be too #badass or #hot when he's an early-mid twenties nerd wailing that he's very flammable and sniffling pathetically after giving a girl he coat.

I think Ingo is a cat person.

watched Dungeon Meshi. I knew I was gonna like these two before even watching it.

only just now heard the news of the book. very excited!! decided to draw a few ciphers in it's honour.
