Miko, the Rebel
Swordplay Backstory Illustration 5/9 Finished this latest digital painting of my next SP character, Miko! Miko is a rebel by nature and it's difficult for him to find comfort in people for then he finds their problems to be ego driven and self inflicted. He doesn't believe in purpose or a greater meaning to actions, things just are and then we're gone. He constantly wrestles the idea of wanting to find connections or wanting to be left alone. His actions are driven less by personal desire and more to right the wrongs done by others. Because if you ask him what his own desires are, he will say there is nothing he desires and he would like to keep it that way! For his backstory illustration, I wanted there to be specific concepts explored within the actual image. I wanted him to be seen as "above" it all, especially society and the inner workings of it. He has his head in the clouds and his ideas have a wider scope then he could have living in the city. There are a few Easter eggs and even Astrid the Cat is strolling if you can find her! This one took me AWHILE but I'm glad to finally say it's done and I can move on to the next! Patreon bonus: if you support me on Patreon you can see Miko with EVERY layer in my downloadable Photoshop file!
