Sketch Journal: 10/21
So this journal entry consisted of finishing a character design I started back in February. In fact, the initial drawings were done late February. What I did today was add in the colors, shadings, and extra notes.
Name: Degotoga
Age: 20
Height: 5’8”
Weight: Light-weight
Gender: Male; straight
MBTI: INTJ
Cultural background: Fuegetuk (A Native culture that once ruled the land before the countries across the sea conquered the land. The Fuegetuk people now live in small concentration-camp-like territories set apart by the government for them to live separate from the rest of society.)
Physical Appearance: Average height, slender-built, shoulder-length brown-black hair, amber-colored eyes. (Most Fuegetuk have golden or amber eyes. Because their race is closer to the natural/spiritual world than the rest of the human race, their eyes glow in the dark.) Also, he has a white-ink tattoo sleeve on his left arm.
About the Props:
Pouch: This is an optional prop, but it contains his wallet and his army pocket knife. He's probably going to have it on him or nearby 85% of the time.
Personality: Sarcastic, cynical, introverted, grumpy, and over-protective. Underneath his people-hating shell, Degotoga is a natural “mother-hen” kind of person who watches over those he feels responsible. If he feels comfortable, he playfully teases those he loves.
Likes: Tea first and foremost, reading mystery novels, cooking, tradition, tradition, tradition, and finally, sleep.
Dislikes: Younger kids, nicknames, idiots, anthropomorphic animals, crowds, taboos.
Fears: Small, enclosed areas. Via claustrophobia.
Weakness: Claustrophobia is the top one on the list. Besides that, the guy has a responsibility complex. If he's given responsibility over someone or something and that person/object is harmed in any way, he will ultimately blame himself, even if the damage is irrelevant.
Job(s): Postal worker, repairman.
Favorite food: Hot homemade stew.
Theme song: “Silver Lining” by Hurts
Known Relatives: Parents, Grandparents, and 2 younger siblings: all deceased. Older cousin: Asija (still alive).
Quirk: When frustrated, he runs both his hands through his hair as if to yank it out. He’s also left-handed.
Backstory in a Nutshell:
The son of a sky pirate, Degotoga is one of the last remaining individuals of his biological family -aside from his cousin Asija. He works odd jobs around the city to keep financially stable. He was adopted by Eduardo Salvo (the Watchmaker) as a young teenager and has lived with him ever since.
He rescued Fievel from a terrible place, and the two have been attached ever since.
