Doc Ock Sketches #4 - Face Patterns
Solar Demigod Doc Ock gallery
Granted, there were many many aspects of his life Otto Octavius could no longer claim to be normal in the slightest. But having light signal patterns connected to his mental state was just absurd.
But there is no helping it. He had accidentally merged with his cursed fusion reaction and now he had a constant glow just under his skin in certain parts of his body. Normally that light can only be seen in deep darkness. But experiencing just a bit of stronger emotion will absolutely make his cheeks or eyes flash up in an unmistakable pattern. Peter of course quickly started calling the phenomenon "The Solar DoCode" and Otto so far was unable to make him drop that ridiculous name.
Conventional wisdom says to make peace with he was given by Nature... or in this case, Crazy Magic from Another World. But God, or Sol, or whoever help him, Otto is not happy with his lot.

Welp, not for International Men's Day, unfortunately, but better late than never! I still want to add more character design sheets to the series, including the hopefully final versions of his actuators and their name, as well as his fully body pattern based on whether he is focused or raging, and based on the level of charge he has built up. And of course maybe make his magic a bit more concrete. I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this universal symbol of squares layered on top of each other, but I do want to pour my ideas about his abilities into tangible form (instead of the vague bull- Marvel often pulls these days in their movies).
Hopefully after the Diablo fancomic I will be able to do so! Either way, please enjoy this next sketchdump of Solar Demigod Doc Ock! Been a damn long while, but I honestly love this AU so much. I hope you guys do too! ^^ If you ever want to use this design in your work, just let me know and give me credit!
