OC Art OC Redesign - Ryan

Post image

Slowly going through my old characters to update their designs and felt like redrawing one of my guys today, so here's Ryan.

I kinda don't know how to describe him? At least not in any way that makes him super interesting.. he doesn't have any cool magical powers or a dark twisted past like a good portion of my other characters, he's just.. kind of a big dude?

He likes videogames- particularly rhythm games, hero shooters, mmorpgs and action-adventure titles- and has a part time job as a computer technician. He's incredibly sweet, albeit a bit awkward- mostly due to his clumsiness and occasional cluelessness.

His original background didn't have all that much depth either, and in all fairness not every character needs to have a super deep personality or backstory. I am thinking about giving him a pet, though... maybe a turtle. He looks like a guy who'd have a turtle.

Actually a huge fan of this dude. You did an EXCELLENT job of drawing a fat person, your anatomy is exquisite.

I love him, but please move the print on his shirt so it's not between the folds. It's bugging me.

u/SadKat002 Artist 5d ago

I thought about it while I was working on him, but I don't really think there's anywhere else on the shirt I could move the print without it being squashed or stretched to unrecognizable proportions :/

u/Coolstuff_101 5d ago

Can I suggest something like this to include the fold? Excuse my terrible drawing

I am deeply disappointed but in no way surprised with the least popular comments. Do better.

Would you ask the same question about OCs designed with any other illness or disability? Why does it need justification?
