Okay, so this is my Secret Santa gift for @glintea . I got Sam last year, and when I got him again, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. All I knew for sure was that I was really sick of writing after NaNoWriMo, and I really wanted to draw stuff. So I figured: why not draw Sam’s OC’s? I’m not really confident in my art skills, and I wasn’t sure how to choose one from the multitude of Sam’s OC stable, but I decided to use that as a challenge and draw seven of them. Quantity over quality, I calls it.
First up is Glint, a half-elf from Dungeons and Dragons. I really don’t know anything about D&D, which is kind of why I wanted to tackle this project. I can’t just binge watch a TV show to research this guy. I pretty much had to work with what Sam’s written and drawn about him, and try fill in the gaps myself. Glint was the easiest to pin down though, because Sam’s done more art of this guy in color.
I’m finding I really blank on poses to use. Glint sort of strikes me as a devil-may-care type, and that sort of reminded me of Osomatsu, so I went with this pose of him grinning with his hands in his pockets. It seemed to work, although I soon realized that this meant I couldn’t draw his karambits, since his hands were conveniently out of the shot. Maybe next time. At any rate, the pose seems to suit the guy, and Glint doesn’t seem like the type to sweat this stuff, so I guess it’s cool.
