#mer_archer

I realized that, as proud as I was of the other mer Archer picture I drew, I didn't like the fish I picked for him very much. A Clown Fish, despite being fun, didn't fit him (or Shirou) very well, so I decided to give it another go and try to find something I liked more. And I think I found it! I picked an Orca for him since it seemed a bit more unique.

Orca are better known as Killer Whales, and are mammals! I thought it would be more interesting than just making him a fancy or frilly fish. And it felt right for someone as practicality focused as Archer.

Also, I wanted his design to work with his Heroic Spirit armor (despite him not wearing it in this drawing), which is why there aren't any special features on his from the waist up. At some point, I want to draw him with it on. But I wanted to get the main met design on paper first.

I'll probably make a Tumblr post with all the misc story ideas that have been rattling around in my head for this later.
