I had insomnia and I decided to take advantage of it and color two of my OC's! In a future I'll show their full body version...

But here's the color scheme of Freddo and Hot Shot if somebody wants to draw them!

Tagging: @rolkstone and @ratalisk, since they are my friends and the ones who are more active in learning about my AU!

Thank you very much for your support!

Have a wonderful day/night depending when you read this!

The heights of my OC's in case you want to know...

Roger Meyers, Jr. is also included here for reference! Joel is 170 cm if you wonder.

Old Art #1 - Water, Fire and Lightning

Well, @ratalisk convinced me of doing this with this post he uploaded yesterday...

Well, here's some early sketches I made all the way back in July 2023! If you remember all my characters date from around 2022! When I first created them!

Who are those guys in the screen?

Well! Those were the EARLY designs of Freddo, Hot Shot and Tuffy! Did you knew that they were created at the same time? And they were meant to have a Water, Fire and Lightning motif?

Originally Tuffy was gonna to be a lanky meekly guy with severe anxiety issues, Freddo's original gimmick was gonna to be that he tought of himself as handsome, but he was actually ugly and yet he flirted with women and Hot Shot is the sole one who mainly got unchanged...

Yes! Freddo and Tuffy are mainly unrecognizable, Hot Shot has bare changes, but they look like a knock-off of Moe, Blue-Haired Lawyer and Fat Tony!

Originally Tuffy's nickname was gonna to be spelled "Tophie", because his original name was "Christopher", but I changed him to the final one, after the re-design.

I'm glad of how I re-designed them. Would you had liked I used these designs?

Here it is!! The break doodles :D

Thank you! Thank you very much!

I wanted to thank you for this gift!

By the way! I know I didn't told you... but I really love the way you draw! It's very amazing! But well, you already knew it!

What I didn't told you is that, I didn't saw it in it's moment, but I love when people love my OC's and my ideas! really makes my day and now that I know that, I'm inspired to continuing drawing and sharing my ideas!

It also takes me by surprise! Because save Alfonso and Roman, none of my OC's are colored (I have ideas, but only that), although as an interesting fact! I finally found a flower pattern for Tuffy's shirt! I'll share it as soon I show how he looks colored... or if somebody wants to ask me about it! I don't mind, although I haven't colored him yet. I mean, if somebody wants to draw him with the flower pattern.

Thank you for this gift! It's awesome!

And I said "Thank You!" a lot! But I can't help it!

Thank you for this! I really love this!

Another colored version of Hot Shot, but now properly finshed...

I added the details I missed, like this gold tooth.

I hope this will be enough for him. In a future I upload his colored and final version.

Tagging: @rolkstone and @ratalisk!

Brute Vs. Brute

Here's a drawing I made of The Bruiser! He's one of the OC's of the amazing @mo-kiwi!

Like I mentioned in a commentary! I imagine him and Hot Shot being fierce rivals! They don't like each other that much and always fight in bloody fights!

By the way! I finally get to introduce Hot Shot's knuckledusters! They're his trademark weapon, since he doesn't fight like his friends, you know, using guns, because "they're for sissies", he would rather fight with his own hands. His weapon of choice, of course are knuckledusters!

Your OC is amazing! He's very fun to draw!

And congratulations to you and The Bruise for being the first OC who interacts with Hot Shot! By this point Joel, Lucky and Hot Shot are the only members of the Capital City Mafia who have interacted with other OC's!

Have a good day or night! Depending when you read this!

The Portrait of Dorian Mazzanti

Here's an unoriginal joke! XD! Well, how I said! Dorian is a very vain man and can spend hours looking himself at the mirror and taking care of himself, mainly his hair. His father was similar, but he will never will admit it, he was such an hypocrite on that and always made him feel less manly over it.

Here's a drawing of Hot Shot, Dorian and Cassandra, they're in a regular day, likely at their club in Capital City or during one of their routine missions, with Hot Shot rolling his eyes at them ("You always waste their time in nonsense."), while they continue preparing theirselves.

Despite what Hot Shot thinks, they're actually besties. Hot Shot has a deep respect for Cassandra and Dorian and the feeling is mutual! I hope you like to see these three guys together, because they're usually partnered this way! Normally all of Joel's guys, do not have an assignated partner, but they can go with whoever they want, so we can explore a lot of combinations.

What do you think?

The Brute

Okay! Here's another minion of Joel! I wonder what do you think? His name is Horatio “Hot Shot” Lozzi! He's easily the largest of the minions of Joel. He's the main muscle of the gang. Despite his nickname makes allusion to shotguns, he actually gets it from his fists.

Hot Shot, like Saul, despite he has red hair, he has also italian heritage. Hot Shot was a disgraced boxer, whose chance at being a professional one, was truncated early on. After a while, he ended joining the mafia and is one of the most brutal mobsters after Gianluca and Joel, despite they're smaller than him, they're more brutal.

Hot Shot is also a skilled chef and is very good at making food in the club and despite he gives the vibes, he's not that dumb. In archetype, he's very similar to Kronk, from The Emperor's New Groove, but he's more prone and willing to do evil.

Unlike his friends, his weapon of choice are the knuckle dusters, which he tends to use more often. He has a pair named "Agatha" (Left) and "Susan" (Right), if you wonder.

What do you think?
