archie rambles
fun fact archie went through a shit ton of redesigns before i settled on what i settled on. he was originally going to look like jack walten and have more of a upbeat and happy go gitty personality, but because i wasn't happy with my art at the time or my characters i never settled on a proper design for him.
this was his first design i think if mt toyhouse is correct. very jack walten inspired in his older days, while his younger days he looked like every oc i had at the time.
his backstory at the time is that he was brought back to life some how by medic and engineer because they were trying to see if they can bring people back through the logs of the respawn machine. but i never fully stuck with this back story because i didn't like it and changed it not to long after i had that idea.
then there was the "oh god oh fuck i want him to blow up" era, where i only drew him once a month and everytime i did his design would change.
i had more doodles during this time of him but never posted them to toyhouse, and if im correct they were posted in a server im not apart of anymore so yeah </3 but thankfully in this era we got something close to his official current design, which was this drawing!
not quite there, still needed work but its getting closer to the current archie we all know and love. at this point bro didn't have a backstory like at all, all i knew is that "teehee funny TFC medic design i looooove him :3" and literally nothing else. then he was left to rot for a while, and he wasn't touched again until some time in January i think, which he was doodled in this
little shit post doodle, i wanna punch this guy tbh hes so goofy. THEN CAME JULY, 20 DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY. i suddenly had motivation unlike any other, and i was like "YES I NEED TO DRAW OLD MEN" and then the current archie design was born.
i still love this design like a lot, i think he looks lovely. if i had to change anything i would make him have more wrinkles and have his hair curl a bit more since i still want him to have curly or wavy hair. AND ALSO ADD MORE BODY HAIR ON HIM BECAUSE I DONT THINK THERES ENOUGH ON HIM BRO <///3
but besides that i love this design of him. only issue is that his back story is kinda all over the place atm, its a mixture of oh he fell in love with cheavy but because it was the 30's he was violently closeted and still is.
but on the other hand i wanna make his backstory more complex and be like "oh he had a love hate realtionship with cheavy and his team, which is why he didn't rejoin it once they got back together blah blah blah" idk still trying to figure it out yk
for all fellow marxists: keep an eye on the Pakistani movement right now!
writing a lead-off about искра got me feeling so knowledgeable and stuff. yay!
i get so #hype after a branch meeting.. i’m getting a good grade in cadre which is possible & normal to want
Allow me to say: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
every once in a blue moon i get reminded of how so much of my old art is now gone due to the fact i deleted my original tumblr account on accident a long time ago
