#pose sheet

His tunic sleeve (and arm) got shredded by his werewolf mentor, so I’m taking the opportunity to tear those sleeves off completely, and show his first in game scar. It’s been a really enjoyable challenge taking the new pieces he has gathered from friends and family and attempting to marry them together into a cohesive outfit. I’m really happy with how his open tunic says both ‘doctor’ and reflects him trusting his party more, and how his old worn favourite shirt gives Peter Pan vibes now it’s been through the ringer.

A few other little details that I’m happy came together:

Love how the only pops of red (a colour that signifies violence/thieve’s guild for him) now are from a healing potion and the grip of his sword, Humility.

I also like that with the scarf and wraps, the skeletal tattoos (designed to warn people away and lean into the bad image others have of him), are being covered almost completely.

Of course the bandolier! I won’t wax on too long about that, but his current best friend vowed to protect him. Now that friend has disappeared, and I love that their pocketed vest has been repurposed as something he can use to keep himself and others safe. Something he will always have with him.

Action sheet of new RM7 design

The first of 6 characters I'm making for a character design portfolio project! This is Nova (they/she/he) and they're the lead singer and bass guitarist in a multigenre music act named Call The Celestial Wind. The whole group is intended to be a versatile ensemble that can be used in a variety of projects, both original and fanon. But for this specific deck I'm finalizing their "base designs" and establishing their primary role, core personhood, and what cultures they hail from, which can all be easily added onto for future use.

The rest of the crew will be rolling out slower, since ideally they'd all be progressing at the same pace. But I decided to finish Nova first so I can gauge how much work will go into each character.

Some info on Nova themself (which may or may not be a repeat of what I've written previously):
