could you perhaps share early designs of Strike? 👀 you mentioned he was a transformer??

Really gonna expose myself for you here but this man's been haunting my sketchbooks since 2015 or 2016, and while I have burnt most of my old ones I have dug out the ones from the last two years

Essentially he used to be way more pink (I think I still am not fully clear on his skintone although I do prefer the darker one he has in bg3), he had a way different hairstyle and longer ears

He started off in transformers as his canon self being kind of thrown into the universe but then acquiring a cybertronian form, you can find more about this under my tag strikendown au! I used to do that before getting into bg3 last year :)

(the only full body digital pic I have of him pre-bg3 is him cosplaying as Dio) Then in bg3, he got a more purplish, darker skintone, more standard elf ears, black eyes, scales and a different hairstyle - I think I'm going to keep the black eyes and perhaps the skintone, I do think they work way better with what I'm trying to do with him in his own canon.

Personality wise he is canonically the most like pre-tadpol bg3 Strike, minus the god he'd worship. He has a better relationship with sex and is in general a way angrier person who is good of showing it. He's also the main villain and one of the two main characters. In transformers, he got adopted by my friend's OCs and also proceeded to chill the fuck out, that's the only au in which he isn't actively suicidal.
