Plenty of random characters I have drawn in the past were done on such bad impulses. Bad in the sense I only take a liking to them at face-value. But, I would make a bit of effort diving into their sources as well as trying to understand their overall essence. So, in today’s sketch dump, I would like to show a few characters who have been living in my mind for some time.
Let’s start off with this BIG guy, for example: Franky; From the anime/manga: One Piece
He’s the shipwright of a crew known as the Straw Hats, who are a bunch of pirates-sailing across the vast seas-searching for a Legendary treasure, the One Piece. Though he can be a bit brash, he is a Cyborg with a BIG Heart and is willing to do what’s best for his crew, family, and friends. I feel like I’m the weird one who likes his “time-skip” design(along with his “Egghead” design), but it doesn’t come off as weird as my interest witnessing the power of Elasticity. Now, Franky does not have any “Devil-Fruit” powers even though he has capabilities beyond any natural means. But I can’t help but always imagine: “What if he did consume one(Mainly the Arms-Arms Fruit or Gum-Gum Fruit)?”
Since Franky is also known to manufacture destructive machinery, wouldn’t be fun to just see what’d he do if he could morph any part of his body into a weapon? While a cyborg can technically do this, consuming a fruit with that power wouldn’t require thorough modifications nor inspection. The user can just transform at their own will-with no issues! Franky could become a literal human tank as he can mold himself into with the most lethal arsenal that can match his chaotic actions in battle!
However, I’m pretty sure the process would look very silly/weird. I even made this 4-framed animation to as a mere sample on the idea.
And, indeed, this leads to my bad impulses that disrespects the character-especially since he mentions during the series that “he would rather die” than consume a Devil-Fruit(I believe it was mostly because they make you ,essentially, lose the ability to swim in water.) But I digress. I personally become intrigued when seeing a different character utilize an ability that changes their shape. Luckily, there are characters who have this sort of ability I seek to observe.
Now here’s a wild pick I never thought I’d be invested in. Blazagon, from a toyline franchise, titled “Heroes of Goo Jitzu.”
He’s a character who has a body made out of a material with rubber-like properties. He’s able to stretch his limbs, twist himself like a pretzel, and brawl against foes with his fiery determination! While I have watched him in battle/casual scenarios, I haven’t delved into the franchise deep enough. For instance, I know he used to be a plain ol’ lizard in a zoo who became a super-powered anthropomorphic after a strange asteroid crashed into his area. And Blazagon is only one out of the numerous characters in the series who have the same backstory, yet gains unique abilities on a whim, over time. Despite this franchise being completely bonkers and obviously advertised for kids(due to being a toyline), I sense great potential in concepts that they present-for artistic interpretation can twist it up in an interesting way.
For the most part, these two characters reveal factors that appeal to me. One had me invested in the series while the other caught my eyes with their appearance. There’s a character who meets my expectations while another inspires me to reconfigure their structure with my imagination. It’ll always be rare sight to find a something that satisfies any, or all, of one’s interests-no matter how detailed or deep the rabbit-hole may be. But it should never prevent anyone from creating/imagining their dreams, which may fit beside the ideals others may share. Even on the other hand, it’s good to search and discover things that you enjoy, helping you realize what appeals to you.
I rambled to deeply into this, and may have gone off topic, but I hope this gives some sort of insight to how characters, specifically fictional, can become influential to the complex human mind. On a side note, there are many characters I want to draw-and, thankfully, have succeeded on that. Like these two Monster Wrestlers from a movie called “Rumble”, or that other random duo-one coming from a game(“Brawl Stars”) while the other also is from a film(“IF”; AKA: Imaginary Friends).
And it’s only rare when there’s a new character that motivates me into drawing, which leaves me to wander around these worlds to find another that may satisfy me…
Until RECENTLY!!
I’ve began playing this game called “Zenless Zone Zero,” and 2 literal BEARS have been locked on my radar! Pan Yinhu and Ben Bigger. While I’ve been aware of this game for some time, it managed to grab my attention after their recent update, featuring Yinhu as a new playable character! I’ve recently unlocked that panda(he has a fun play-style) and hope to get Ben, later, in the game. In the meantime, I plan on making some sketches featuring two and their friends/companions as I learn about them and their world!
(And, just maybe. . .I will add them to my group of “Benevolent Flames.”)
Blue guys.

Notes from Blooposter:
I just voted silly lil Bloo guy. He so silly billy. I mean, look at him he so cool. He the best, I’m a blooposter anyway. To show appreciation for him. I see him and I say, oml my child, my chaotic child, my son I love him. Hahahahaahahhaahahhaieidejoasjwjskjqkssk💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Blue from the movie just still looks like grimace. Or maybe a mix of Bloo and Grimace and then got him. But he cool too. I wish he was just had another name with something that has something to do with Purple. 💜
