#reithe

uhhhhhhh posting two days in a row, do not expect this ever again but i drew the best friends in cute outfits :>

So! Hello! I wanted to post and discuss some things from my redesigns of my pirate characters for my Underseas Project. Next up: Local trash goblin and First Mate Reithe!

Old Design:

I always thought Reithe's design was pretty solid, thus he hasn't changed much. I looked at a lot of costume images from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and drew a lot of design from those. My biggest complaint is that I had a very clear image for Reithe and this doesn't reflect that. I didn't consider another body type for him or to give him a more interesting face.

Stuff I liked:

The whole idea was pretty solid tbh! I like the blue jacket, I love the accent of red and I love the haphazard nature of him just throwing stuff together. This is a man who wears pants only because society dictates he must.

New Design:

Relatively similar, instead I've decided to refine aspects of it and also give Reithe more of his own body type so he's different from both Haddal and Qil. I have given him bright pink eyes to pull attention to his face as well as a horn style that kind of speaks for Reithe not giving much of a shit.

I also made it more obvious is ear is torn off and more noticeable facial hair (by drow standards anyway)

I also never gave him swords or weapons in his original design for some reason! There they are. He dual wields sabers.

The outfit is mostly the same with only very slight differences and where there are differences, they're more refinements on the original idea. Ie: Vest is unbuttoned and the shirt design is better defined, also so you can see his chest hair.

DnD Ed’s favorite food would be a simple venison or mutton stew. Hearty, filling and warming with a dash of tasting like home. Serve with a mug of ale and freshly baked bread and he’s as content as he can be.

Fallout Ed’s (post war) favorite food would be the times he can get vegetables fresh from a garden. It reminds him the world is still here and thriving and it makes him hope.

Zombie Ed can’t actually eat or taste, but he loves the smell of fresh coffee and the warmth of it in his hands. He’ll get cups to just hold and smell.

Reithe will claim his favorite place in the world is this hot spring place where the crew stops on occasion to drink and relax. They have fun, shoot the shit and laugh as friends. It’s his favorite place to visit because it always reminds him why he loves his friends. In his heart his favorite spot in the world was the roof of the house he grew up in, where he would often sit up late at night and watch the ocean with his dingy telescope, thinking of all the potential there was in the world, this is a memory he often revisits as he grips the steering wheel of the Apocalypse and he can only dream of the adventures ahead.

Abbie’s favorite color is red. But only as an accent color.

The best memory they ever consumed was from a drow whose ship they boarded. An older fellow who’d had everything but thrown it all away when she fell in love with an Illithid, and she left her family to be with them. Their affair was one of intense feelings and passion and liberation. Those feelings lingered for a long time in Abbie and they often think about them fondly.
