Artist's Notes:

I would like to say that this common enemy has one of my favorite designs in OFF. It looked so goofy, so bizarre, yet so unnerving at the same time. Perhaps that's why this overclocked 9-to-5 worker left such a long-lasting impression on me.

In this drawing, I wanted to portray the exact moment an Elsen transforms, the moment they are crushed by overwhelming fear and stress, with malign energy erupting from their head, like a geyser of crude oil....

(Or these might just be the Batter's interpretation, as most would suggest.)

I am still practicing with my coloring skills, and I am quite happy with the results! The colors no longer felt blocky and protruding, and my sketchbook pages are no longer stained by excess graphene.

However, when I look at my drawing, I can't help but feel there's something amiss. Maybe I should stop trying to escape from composition and background design....

Anyway, that's all I have to say today!

My next big project will be that secret work I said I will release on April in a post somewhere. (If you didn't see that post before.... well, now you know!)

I'm not sure how much doodles I can squeeze in between now and that grand release, but please stay tuned, I will try to pluck some crumbs out from my brain in the meantime.
