Some state siblings I haven’t drawn together a lot. I like the they
Whoa! It's boys from the stream!
So we talked a bit more about Texas and his character. He's just a big sweetie pie who kinda comes across as intense or rude because he's so high-energy and goes at everything with full force. Also, he likes One Piece and that's why his shirt looks like that. Also, we figured he had blue eyes because of the "The stars at night are big and bright" part of the Texas song, and his eyes are supposed to be the night sky. But also there's a German community in texas that still speaks German so...there's a blue-eyes connection I guess.
And there's Alabama! He finally has a semi-finished design and character! He's still a talented cook and gossiper, but he's also a stinker of a middle child who wears clothes that are too big for him. He thinks the dirt stains on his shirt and quirky in the same way paint splatter on an artist's white shoes are quirky. But he just smells like freshly cut grass. He also has a pet possum named Chmamalay. And he's not feral he just looks like that.
FL: *crying*
VA: Uh...is he ok?
GA: Yeah, he’s fine.
AL: He was sitting on a dock and a manatee touched his foot.
FL: *ugly crying* You’re not allowed to touch theeemmmm and I brushed her little snout without thinkinnnggg
GA: He’s gonna be like this for a while, start the meeting without is, Vi
FL: *More ugly crying* she probably though I had food and I didn’t even have any food to give her after I bopped heeerr
Any ideas for Alabama?
I apologize for how long this took, but he gave me some problems. These are my concept sketches that I’m on the fence about at best, so I guess I’ll open a discussion. I want to keep the face, I like how his face turned out. But the ponytail and outfit are ehhhhh.
If anyone has ideas or criticisms please share, I know there are gonna be a LOT of these characters but I want them all to be unique and likeable in their own way. Oh, also bonus Florida I guess.
