Quotes about her: “The cunning, murderous slasher, the killer with the bad reputation; with insatiable lust for blood and stabbing, presumably assumed to be a man due to her senseless violence and her brtual crimes.”

Wow, two posts in a row! I just wanted to show my progress. It's officially been a year since I started my current sketchbook [September 15th, I know, a little late]. So I thought I'd show how I improved since then<3

For some general back story, he was bullied in middle school for being ugly and overweight, as well as dressing differently aka in a more feminine manner. After one especially violent run in with his bullies where they bashed his head into a wall and gave him a concussion, he stopped going to school. He stopped eating much, went to the gym, and threw away a lot of his clothes. Now in high school, he appears to be better, and more confident, but he still secretly struggles with his relationship with food and self confidence out of fear of things going back to the way they were.

This was my first ever drawing of him. Originally he was supposed to be a one off drawing, but I ended up liking him. Tbh looking at my old drawings embarrasses me a little, but it’s also nice to show how far his design has come.

Next is another drawing of him, his design a bit more fleshed out. I remember really liking this drawing after making it. I hadn’t yet come up with a backstory for him yet, so he was more of a rule of cool dress up doll at the moment. Also this pose might be based off of a Jojo pose, specifically one from Rohan (Rohan is amazing ♥️).

Next is my first redesign attempt 😅 The clothes are ok, but there are a lot of issues I found with how I drew him. The biggest one was that I didn’t flip the canvas so he looks a bit misshapen. Then his eyes also look a bit wrong. I also disliked the shape of his head. By now I knew what his backstory would be for the most part, hence his scars and love for accessories, but he still ended up looking off. After a bit I knew I needed to try again, but I was kinda stumped on what to do with his design for a while until…

4/4

Ta-da! He definitely gives off the vibes he’s meant to now. He’s the type of person you can’t help but love even if he can be really annoying at times, and may seem scary at first. Definitely gives off ratty vibes. I took a few things from his old redesign. He still likes accessories and still has scars from the concussion. I may do more for accessories in later drawings since I feel he’s the time to wear an excessive amount. Also, I can’t seem to find a name for him, though I have a few loose ideas. I feel it should give off pixie or fairy vibes or something. But overall, here’s my ball of joy and hidden insecurity! (He just like me and my sister fr fr)

And this is the old design that i’ve had for over half a year, which i’m a bit sad to part with-

And… these are the old babies
