I haven’t felt like drawing much lately because of life’s general stresses.
But I was struck with the motivation to produce something yesterday, so here’s a mid century style Christmas card from my dog, Berkeley, and me.
Fun fact: I listened to this song on repeat while drawing him. Which lends to my idea of him being a Casanova, fuck-you-right-and-make-you-breakfast-but-never-call-you-again type of elf.
Character description under the cut.
This is Florian (finally settled on a name - still working on a last name).
A rags-to-riches merchant who enjoys basking in the sun in his courtyard, having his hair played with, sweet wine, singing, and sex. Not necessarily in that order.
Red is his signature color but sometimes he’ll step out in other jewel tones.
Loves jewelry. Never seen without some piece of jewelry.
Knows he’s handsome and charming, and uses that to every bit of his advantage when dealing with clients, politicians, and lovers. The charm wore off on his colleagues a long time ago.
Best storyteller ever.
Always the life of a party.
Wealthy, but not wholly selfish. Funnels a lot of his money into the poorer districts of the city.
With that said, has no qualms with throwing his money away on frivolities and exorbitance.
You can usually catch him in an easy-going, devil may care mood; but prone to isolate himself for stretches when he has bouts of disillusion.
Always smells good. Like lavender.
Insanely good at any form of gambling games.
May or may not be cheating at said games.
Can’t stand cats or dogs.
Has a languid gaze but becomes more animated the more you talk to him or he talks to you.
Always has a slight smirk on his face, which lends to believing he’s always up to something.
I have a whole ass OC, who started out as a Dragon Age OC, but quickly became his own story line separate from DA. And I’ve been thinking about him non-stop.
Still working out a name though.
Well, I came back to him because I felt compelled. So I’m pleased with the outcome.
Bonus Hermes (Hermeses?) under the cut because we all know I can’t make up my mind.
My sketching process is to put down lines to get my proportions right and then fill in the details as I go, so it’s usually a lot messier than this, but I also do a lot of erasing as I’m filling in the bigger details. So normally my sketches end up looking something like this.
