Some design ideas for Epic Au anon’s DL oc, Hitoshi, aka Kocho’s boyfriend, cuz while I know that they’re busy with their own life outside online, I feel like pitching in some design thoughts for Hitoshi in case they have trouble in putting his design.
Which speaking of, in having to read his appearance description in Kocho’s profile in which he’s “as basic as possible” it makes me think of the Kodaka protagonists, especially the male ones, who are designed to be as “basic” in terms of appearance and personality to the target audience. Yet at the same time, they’re also distinctive enough to be recognizable and memorable to said audience thanks to their unique design and character traits.
Heck, after having to think of this idea, I ahead to making Hitoshi’s design which I based it on from Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc cuz his design definitely aligns to Hitoshi’s description, alongside some elements of Takumi Sumino from Hundred Line Academy, Aether from Genshin Impact and Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer (these last two being quite obvious due to Kocho being inspired by Kanae Tsuyuri and the fact that both boys have the same Eng voice actor).
Again, that’s just how I see what Hitoshi’s design would look like in my interpretation, and if Epic Au anon is okay or not with this idea of mine then that’s perfectly okay with me. Like I said, just laying design some design ideas for Hitoshi in case they have trouble.
Also, before I close out. Epic Au anon, if you’re seeing this, then Have a cute sketch of your oc, Kocho and my design of her boyfriend, Hitoshi.
