In Me Mums Car!

Transcript: Wait, so you were avoiding me? Why?! And for two years, really, two bloody years? Seriously?! And how did you avoid me for two years? I should've seen you at some point! What in the bloody hell?

Here's another Hyde drawing! I really love how it turned out. I was worried that I might have to scrap this one because I was struggling with the sketch. I wasn't planning on drawing Hyde from below the shoulders and that was messing me up. I was originally planning on using the initial sketch for a one page sketch comic with Jekyll and Mind Lanyon, but I just couldn't figure out the proper execution for the comic. I still wanted to use my Awkward Hyde sketch, so I forced myself expand the sketch. And I had a terrible time. I redid the torso about three times. I had to give up the arms. I went from having them on his hips to in front of him as if negotiating to clasped behind his back. I had no idea what the context behind this drawing was going to be. Like, was Hyde being forced to be a gentleman, was he freaking out over what to do next after the events of the recent page, or (from the fic Worlds Collide) was the alternate Hyde stressed about acting like Edward. But in the end, since I couldn't get the execution just right, I went with "Uh oh, my boyfriend just realised I purposefully avoided him for two years. Oops!"

Anyhow, initial sketch plus alternate version:

Bonus:

Personally, I prefer the last one with the background effect without the words, but I felt like I needed to add context to why Hyde felt awkward/embarrassed. I was considering drawing an actual background, but, unfortunately, *checks notes* laziness and inexperience mugged my artistic abilities.

Three Things I Dislike:

I dislike the unusual shape of the hair. The hair at the side of his face is too wobbly, and the hair points up so high it looks like I tried to give him devil horns.

The uneven buttons should be the same size and evenly spaced while being aligned correctly.

I feel like I oversimplified his cravat and didn't take the time the understand how it functioned within the drawing.

Three Things I Like:

Overall, I like most of the shapes, and I think that the anatomy is pretty accurate.

I like how expressive his face is, though I think I could draw his face more accurately.

I like how the shading looks. To me, it looks nice, but I still need to work on making it more accurate.

Overall Opinion:

This is probably one of my least favorite pieces of fanart I've made for TGS due to how little creativity it has. But, stylistically, I still like it. It's still cute and fun.

Also, before I forget.....

Navigating gender dysphoria? Be heard and be counted in the science.
