It took a long time to get him right. Pretty happy with the design. So I thought I’d show a bit of the process!
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.
I drew Mikael in the lingerie, therefor I couldn’t NOT draw JP!
Just a personal piece that I really liked.
Colour practice of a character I’ve had since I was 13. I’d like the do the story for her eventually.
After drawing Bronze again I couldn’t help but look back on some fond memories from the DA group I was in, Bandiera, and I took to drawing some old friends!

Bronze is an energetic person who enjoys both his own company and the company of others. He’s self conscious but very good at keeping everyone’s spirits up. He’s very naive and is easily taken advantage of for his generosity. Can be a bit feeble-minded, but is charming and endearing enough to get by. A regular old boy-scount kind of guy. Very simple. He works as a lumberjack.
Backstory time: I made Bronze six years ago for a group on DeviantArt. The group impacted me a lot during college and I didn’t draw much else for a good two years. The group has since disbanded and I really missed Bronze, so I wanted to create something to put him in. I’m sure I’ll find a comic to draw him in, but for the meantime I wanted to light the fires of inspiration once more to create characters based off colours again.
Colour test of an old OC I’m going to use for something new! If anyone’s followed me for a long time you might remember Archie from deviantArt. Many changes are happening but I still really liked the initial character design.
After reading some comments on the newest few pages of Dead City I decided this is what the people want! What they need!
So happy valentine’s day!
