Ok so if you’ve seen the post of where Mirabel and Camilo are hugging David then you know who he is

this is David! ⬆️

It took me awhile to find out how to write and draw this character because with his first one I didn’t really feel that it was him or right for him

this was his first design, originally he was supposed be 13, have the gift of Empathy and that he was deaf, also he had a sister named Elena, and I liked but only for a little while, so I dived into rewatching some Steven Universe episodes (even SUF) and then that got me thinking, the fact that he was hating on his Moms decisions and that it was placed down on him, all of her mistakes, and problems she caused just got passed down to him and he barely knew shit. The absolute resentment he felt when he heard that Pink hurt her first Pearl in episode 2 or 3 of SUF, he was so fed up with fixing his mothers problems and hearing about it again.

Rose didn’t mean for that to happen, even though made mistakes she had good intention, she went being a Child throwing temper tantrum left and right to being a matured being. The things she did can’t be easily forgiven but she tried to be a better person.

(Used to be a hater for Pink/Rose but after rewatching some episodes and analysis videos it changed to just being neutral about her)

from this it inspired me to draw a knew David

This one ☝️

I loved it, it fitted him more than the first one I changed his gift to Cyrokinesis (because of the let it go lyric at the end so I thought yeah this could work?)

It has a reflection on his emotions when he was both young and how he is now. When he was young you could he was like Jack Frost, He loved snow days cause you can have fun with friends and family, but as he got older his personality on the outside changed from snow to ice. He was treated the same way as Bruno, other than the fact that he always took the blame for his cousins problems and mistakes.

I wanted to give him siblings and I wasn’t feeling it for Elena so instead I changed it up. He now has young twin brothers named Hugo and Atifa.

I’m still learning how to texturize African American hair and how to draw digitally because doing line art on it is Torture.

Atifa is older than Hugo by 1min. If you look at Atifa’s shoes they are the colors of his brothers in order David, himself, and then Hugo.

As for their powers Hugo has the Telepathy power and he is deaf and can communicate by ASL or using his gift. I can see him and Dolores getting along pretty well not because she can hear every and he can hear and see images of peoples thoughts, but because he grew attached to her when he was young and saw her as an older sister and they can relate to each other!

For Atifa I transferred the Empathy gift onto him! He is an extrovert and social butterfly, willing to befriend anybody! He likes to hang around his Tias and Tios mostly with Pepa and Félix, he also helps her with her emotions only when she‘s alright with it. He can absorb other peoples emotions onto himself but it mentally drains him and he gets tired.

They were born 7 months after Bruno’s disappearance, and after they were born Valéria moved back to her old home, because she didn’t want Abuela to treat them like she did with Bruno or anybody else in the family (Mirabel mostly). As the years passed she grew very depressed, always thinking about why Bruno left and thought was because of her since she had anger issues that still need to be resolved, and abandonment issues. She had many emotions towards him, mostly she was sad and mad.

Atifa offered to use his gift to help her but she always refused, always covering it up with a smile and that “I’m fine“ with an excuse. She never lets her emotions get the better of her all the time, she didn’t have the time to cry about someone (who she thought) had walked out on her and her kids! So she always pushed her emotions away and focused on her kids and family more!

Always willing to beat someone’s ass to protect them, and shall always be there for them!

anyways I hope you like this! have a good day!
