Next old art I want to revisit! My Zodiac Boy character design project i did in early 2020! According to my file dates, I did them over the course of 4 months (Jan~April) due to me picking it up putting it down several times. :P

Order is: Rat, Rooster, Monkey, Pig, Dog, Snake, Bull, Horse, Sheep, Dragon, Rabbit, Tiger. In no particular order besides It's relatively the order I drew them in xD

I'm still very proud of these designs, which were ultimately a character design exercise. At first only one of them had a name (monkey boy, Calhoun). Then as the years went on, I drew the corresponding boy and named them (which... i didnt do for rat boy. oops).

Calhoun is the monkey, Andreas is the bull, Baek Hyeon is the rabbit, and the tiger is Amul (with his son, Deshal).

I'm planning on giving them all roles and identities in my OC universe with Titus and company (Deshal and Baek Hyoon are his class/sportsmates!), but i've only really gotten around to placing the named ones. Current goal is to name and place them as the year comes up! 2024 is Dragon, so he'd be next.

I HAVE actually named the snake boy tho too. His name is Queen and he's an NPC in one of my D&D games.

It's February, and while i use Titus and his family as an expression of my filipino side, my black side doesnt get as much treatment (which i should honestly fix). I do have some black OCs, so i did a quick doodle of Manny and Fran braiding Deshal's hair.

But i accidentally made myself sad cuz getting my hair done by my mom was one of the things we did to bond and im missing that an awful lot... So I will probably clean it up more later between work

Anyway heres old pics of Fran and Manny ya'll might remember
