April 30th is our second Marot Mart Gang birthday for this month with Fronk, so happy birthday Fronk!
This one ended up being quite a challenge not with figuring out the shapes for his features (that part actually wasn't too bad this time around) but because of the colors, it was a bit tricky building up the darker colors! It's still not as dark as the color I have in mind for Fronk's design but this was about as dark as I could achieve with my colored pencils without making the outlines practically invisible, it's at the very least the correct hue
It's kind of interesting that Tona and Fronk are birthday month buddies because they're very different personality-wise, I have the feeling they probably don't interact too much with each other. The reason I think it's interesting is because it's a distinct contrast to our two zoras in March, Ledo and Marot. Obviously my portrayal of the MM Gang is a lot more fleshed out than what they're able to do in the games, but I picture Ledo and Marot getting along really well and being close friends, so it's a lot of fun for them celebrating their birthdays together. The dynamic between Tona and Fronk is a lot more nebulous though, since they only really know each other because both have a family member who are coworkers with each other. Anyways, this isn't related to the piece at all but I thought you guys might enjoy learning some more info on the relationship dynamics I have established for the MM Gang!
As always, I hope you all like the piece and are looking forward to the rest of them! You guys actually get to know this time who's birthday will be coming up next since it's one I've already celebrated once before, because it's none other than Varius! Her birthday is May 8th so you guys really won't have to wait too long!
