Bricky Steve
Bricky Steve is 16yo's friend's (aka "the other 16yo") player character, a mage who accidentally created a "perfect brick" (known as "The Ubrick" as they portmanteaud uber brick) and is now on a mission to try and recreate it, and thus developed an obsession with bricks. It's only us players that seem to call him Bricky Steve, he's just "Steve" to the other characters.
He lives and works on Captain Gundry's airship and seeems to be maintenance personnel more than anything (he's spec'd mental/social/physical) as in the last session he stayed on board with Gundry and Yue while everyone else (including 16yo's character) raided another ship, and did a lot of magic repairs to the balloon when their ship came under Umbral attack.
He's also an apprentice to some obscenely high level mage.
I was happy to finally get to do a smirky character XD The pose came about because anime and also the children were talking about how they could imagine him in the sterotypical cocky arrogant mage pose (the character is not arrogant but can be cocky), and using the Ubrick as his focus instead of a wand.
This took about a day longer than anticipated as I royally stuffed up the cuffs and straps on the lower sleeves of the jacket and completely failed to notice til a couple of hours after finishing shading and staring at it intently because it looked very wrong. It needed a bit (lot) of rework and looks slightly less broken now.
I am vaguely wanting to 3d everything and animate stuff (with toon shading in anime style of course), because I'm not doing enough of that already x_x
This post also appears on my blog.
Want a crowd character? If you interact frequently with me here (either on my posts or your posts or better yet both!) or on one of the linked Discord channels, all you have to do is let me know and tell me what you'd like :) Everything you need to know is (probably) here and if it isn't just ask (sorry the link goes offsite to my blog where the layout is how I want rather than the one here which is only here because the original one was).
Thanks for looking! ^_^
Ah Good ol Steve, intimidating Steve, I'd be cowering in fear watching those floating books do that and be oh shi I'm going to get schooled. Can't help but feel the arms are longer? or my eyes are just not good at foreshortening perspectives.
I'm not even sure if he can do that currently, it was just an entertaining pose XD
It's not you. I haven't updated my rigged bases (the ones I use for drawings) so they're using a very old base that has limbs that are slightly too long and also an incorrect rig setup (the fingers are using a tentacle rig instead of a finger rig x_x).
I'm making base male and female retopo meshes (the female one is already done from the character I'm currently painting the tattoo on...again...) so once I have the male one done I'll probably rig them up at some stage and then use them moving forward.
Sounds fun and similar to what I'm doing except comparing poses and building a library out of them on a folder for reference.
The faces seems familiar, and it resembles to an old anime that I watched before. Maybe, it is due to the art style. Nonetheless, it is a good illustration. !PIZZA

I was thinking the other character I had drawn looked very familiar, and then realised he reminded me a lot of one of my sibling's characters XD I was playfully accused of copying and there was probably a subconscious influence but I was otherwise working off a text description.
I shall take that as a compliment as I'm not very good at this style ^_^;
Thanks :)
I think it is not copying. Maybe, more on the subconscious influence. We can see that to sibling artist and artist who closely study their idol or mentor. Somehow, they merges some of their style to them. You should take it as a compliment. It is a good piece.
Sibling didn't mean it seriously, it's among the running jokes we throw at each other :) we tend to bounce a lot of things (from story ideas to rough sketches to wips) off each other so there is definitely going to be a lot of influence, subconscious or otherwise XD
😄 I thought that was a literal sibling.
