so here’s an OC sketch i got carried away in
i’m not sure what his name is right now but let’s call him steve.
i submitted a fandom-adjusted version of steve for a fandom zine recently but he got rejected, so i wanted to try redrawin’ normcore steve. i might try to reuse that character sheet for something else but if i don’t, i’ll repost here later.
i dream of one day using steve for dnd so i can play as some dork who wears a potted plant in a baby carrier. steve is convinced he is a plant possessing a human. how i’d use him would vary, but default steve? is just a dude with a plant who has the power of Gun or Knife (he paints them with flowers). he has a personality somewhere between bill cipher and an alien poorly pretending to be human, and is very cheerfully friendly and enthusiastic about life while looking a little dead inside. he wears nothing but a well worn bathrobe with a tank n boxers n crocs.
essentially, he has the energy of a man hungover in a walmart at 3am with no idea of how he got there but with great determination to rescue or kidnap local flora while armed and dangerous(?).
steve’s vaguely based partly on a strange man in a blue bathrobe i saw outside my neighborhood when i was in elementary. he was waving to every passerby, then pointing to himself, making a heart sign, and pointing back at them. all of it was extremely excited while clearly mouthing (or yelling, the windows were closed) ‘i-love-you’ with each equivalent gesture and his head flopping around for emphasis. it’s still strangely memorable a decade later.
i hope real life steve is doin ok.
