Still chipping away at a Tsunami design I’m happy with. And her boyfriend’s here, too (and a smaller, earlier conceptual version of him). They’re a little too similar looking for my liking, so I’ll probably revisit Riptide and sharpen him up. I had another design for him I had forgotten about so I’ll probably merge the two.
Trying to lean into the “flowy” design motif for Tsunami, so her linework is supposed to be swept back and smooth. Riptide is supposed to have more of a jagged feel (riptide just feels like a jagged word to me), but he still has some friendly roundness to him. In the future, I want to make his horns sharper and his ‘hair’ a little more loose and playful looking. Yes, I did give him a little eyebrow notch.
I find it kind of weird that The Lost Heir makes a plot point about Tsunami being angry that Riptide is Webs' son. You would think that she'd be smart enough to not get mad over something uncontrollable like who someone's parents are, but I guess that's expecting too much. I mean, by that point, hasn't Riptide proven that he isn't Webs? Oh well.
Okay I'm gonna say it now
He's scared of dentists and the dark
