One of my oldest still-active OCs, Mars! (He's a Vido, which is a semi-open species.) Perfect for this contest I swear. He is evil and mean and hates everyone <3 and also space-themed.

Ask me about him ask me about him ask me ab- *I am dragged away kicking and screaming*

I experimented with the freehand pen tool/curves for this one! Kind of a pain to use, but the lines are ~clean~ as heck, which is nice. Also allows for way more tweaking without ruining the lines, which is nice.

My main idea was to have the negative space of Mars' position end up being his relic (which is kind of like his egg? I guess? Basically relics are little magic pods that come in various shapes and sizes and, once activated, the fluid inside takes on the colours that the Vido will have! The circle in the middle is kind of like an embryo. I can link stuff on the species if requested). I dunno, thought it'd be poetic for him to hold himself before he became a monster and a jerk who hates everyone.

I also looove drawing space effects! Shoutout to Yuumei's cloud brush pack. Been using it for a decade. (Mars himself is only a couple years younger... he's almost 8! Wowie. How time flies.)

Here's a version of the art without the inverted bits.

This variant of the Goldentail / Bastard Moray is known as the Banana Eel due to its colouration and markings resembling a ripe banana.

Just uploading this here too (because I think Jack is more active on Tumblr than on Deviantart (?)

Anyways, here’s my dA : http://cassattack9.deviantart.com/

The creature is an oversized Kryvern (see my dA to see what that is. If you want. Or don’t.)
