Rust

Rust

For a prompt: design a character based off a colour.

 

I’ve been working on a character for a while now and I can happily say I think I’m happy with this design!

Rust is a smart kid with a good business sense and a fine sense of responsibility but is really unsure of where his life is going. He’s a jack of all trades but doesn’t want to be. He’s worked at his family’s mom and pop shop, gone to school for architecture, took violin lessons. He’s trying to find himself. He does a lot of things because he feels he should, and he’s good at a lot but not enough to stand out. (Also he and I are unsure where his gender is going right now. He’s gonna be pretty fluid. Changing pronouns a bit I think! Going for he/him for now. He is AFAB.)

I really wanted to redesign this character for a long time, but wow it was hard. I’m not sure why I was so stumped on it. I filled like a whole sketchbook with concepts! I’ll post up some sketches later. I’ll also probably draw him and Bronze a bit too.
