Finished the wip I posted a bit ago! Honestly, my main goal in this was just drawing him hot looking.
Honestly, I spent far more time drawing the background than anything. It turned out way more difficult than expected because of the green lighting in his dark red room. The colors were just really hard to keep balanced looking. Also the crocodile skeleton was the bane of my existence for a while lmao. I was gonna make it an gator skeleton originally even though in the show it definitely looks like a crocodile skeleton, but turns out gator skulls look extremely dumb compared to crocodile ones. I don't blame the show for not adding one despite it being more in character for him XD.
In general, I went through a ton of little rabbit holes drawing his room. Like searching for what radio I wanted to use for his bookshelf led me to finding exactly what radio they modeled his main one off of. I might make a small post about history of New Orleans radio in his time and what that would likely mean for his backstory along with what his in show radio likely is based on if anyone would be interested ^v^. Lemme know in the comments if that'd be cool to hear. I would love to write a little blurb on it.
Anyways, hope you like the art ^^. Likely gonna be posting some Akira stuff soon.
