#d zaster

1-3) Redrawing my author avatar a bit. I dunno how many avatars I'm gonna make until I'm finally satisfied, but I liked the idea of turning my "brain worms" into its own character. It's supposed to represent my various unnamed mental illnesses, so I imagine the face color changes depending on which one it represents at the time. Its main modes are: mania, depression, and obsession~

It's supposed to be kinda gummy worm-esque. I dunno, I don't love any of these ideas yet, but if I do draw myself, this is probably gonna be the new "usual" hairstyle I go to. I've been wearing a lot of headbands lately~

I also think this is the first time I've drawn myself with my cane~ I've had it for a while, but I don't really use it home, so there really isn't a need to include it most of the time~

2-4) Kun3h0 Sketches. I randomly decided to try making Kun3h0 a new outfit from scratch. It's still rough so I dunno if it works yet. I do like the new hairstyle though - it's sort of a combination of the puffs and the braids, turning into what I can only call "cotton candy drills." Also experimenting with giving her a tail, but I don't know what purpose it really serves~

5) I don't think D. Zaster counts as an "OC", but I don't have enough Chemicards sketches to put them in their own post~

Actually, I have a lot of backlog that y'all haven't seen, but I posted them to the discord a while back before I jumped ship (well, a temporary leave until there are some major updates with the characters), and it feels weird uploading them this late now.

It's actually been so long since I've drawn the Chemicards fellas that I can't remember what they look like from memory anymore. So I took a crack at D. Zaster again, to see where I would take him if I was less "faithful" to the original concepts. I think I've said this before, but since he's the one we have the most information about, I feel a little weird "re"designing him, but as I drift further and further from the source material, I feel more comfortable adding more of my personal quirks to him, regardless if they're canon or not.

As a result, he's gotten a little more mangled XP. Aside from having a prosthetic robot arm, I don't think D. Zaster actually has any obvious scars, but I think it just suits him to be a little beat-up all the time from all the danger he's around. Like yeah, he probably has some kind of instant healing thingamajig, but that erases so much potential visual storytelling with him. >_<;
