suddenly started drawing my giant oc Talar idk how it happened
he's got feathers instead of hair and is some kind of human-beast hybrid that's fairly common in their world, except nobody really knows what kind of beast is his share (spoiler: it's a sea monster that i made up lol)
i've been drawing him since 2008 and he's one of the core characters in this story, and i think i ended up giving him less spotlight out of fear that he will overshadow every other character... somehow i thought he must not be the main character, this story might have looked very different. yeah whatever
he had minimal redesigns and right now might be undergoing one simply because i don't remember what he's supposed to look like lol
i had a weird feeling of duty regarding making certain aspects of the story "realistic". as if a story with furries could be realistic. and one of the first things i had to figure out regarding Talar was where is he going to get his food. so there is a systemic solution for that now. and because of that, every time i'm enjoying some work of fiction with a giant regular, i'm looking out how they solved the food problem. usually most stories just ignore that and im slightly irritated xd
anyway Talar's storyline is mostly based on seeking romance, and for me it's a fairly original plot because i'm not usually writing romance. but i am aware the mainstream stories are all about romance. so i'm not sure how to "advertise" this story to an average person who wants to read it. can you forget all culture you know? no? well then we have a damn problem. but i love Talar. #myproblem uwu
