Description Grofx’s last design was well due for an update, and I've had this sitting unfinished on my comp since summer, so I decided to get it out of my system. I was excited to give him a cooler, more practical design and make him look even more like a bad sex joke than he already is. It amazes me too that I still take him seriously.
His eyes are now the same color, whatever that may be. I haven’t been into eye colors recently.
His screw is the same. Info on how to draw it can be found here: [link]

The info here is generally similar to his last sheet. Most of the stuff I changed is about his battle style.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Grofx
Somebody: Cheshire Frog
Proof of Existence: The Mischievous Mangler
Element: Implosion
Weapon: Giant Screw
Origin: Wonderland

Personality:
Grofx finds little need in displaying false emotions, unlike other Nobodies, as he didn’t have many to begin with. He is stubborn and overconfident, which, combined with his lack of communication skills and poor intelligence, land him in trouble constantly. Grofx prefers his own company and makes it very difficult for most others to gain his respect.

Backstory:
Grofx’s somebody, the Cheshire Frog, was naturally curious and mischievous, but he went too far. He found joy in leading poor souls into trouble, particularly sending them into the path of the wrathful queen, and he enjoyed watching them suffer nearby. Unfortunately for Frog, his malice eventually took over his heart, and he was overcome by the darkness.
Grofx spawned from Frog’s strong, yet corrupt heart, and he was provided a home at Castle Oblivion. During the Org-Infinity revolution, changes were made, and the superiors realized that Grofx proved more of a burden than an asset to their army. He was banished from the organization, but he found a new home among the Rogues of Axiom.

Element Description/Battle Style:
While Grofx is physically very weak, his elemental power can make him a very formidable opponent. He can implode anything he pleases at will, although he prefers his screw to focus, compliment, and amplify his powers in battle. Implosion consists of making a portion of matter collapse in on itself, increasing its density and shrinking its volume. In rare instances, this act may result in a large rebounding explosion.
In order to implode anything, Grofx must choose a vortex, or a point in space at which the surrounding matter implodes toward in a spiral motion, and he usually uses the tip of his magic screw because it helps him focus and keep the vortex far away from his own body. Grofx usually implodes his opponents’ bodies to inflict damage, which crushes the nerves and may cripple the enemy by mangling important parts of the body. He sometimes implodes weapons and his environment if it benefits him.
What results from a brief implosion is usually small, hard, heavy matter. Grofx can implode multiple objects together, which doesn’t really mix them into one form, but it does compact them so that they are interlocked and difficult to pry apart.
Grofx’s attacks can be devastating, but he is useless unless he has his enemy in screw’s reach. He is also slow and unfit, making him easy to avoid for the most part. He can, however, create weak vortexes in other places, which only briefly pull an opponent around in a spiral motion. Like a vortex himself, Grofx’s power is stronger nearer to him.

Haha I guess only as much as he fights. It gave him enough muscle to show through his bones a little, but that's not enough to stop him from being horribly weak.

Grofx has such a pretty figure~
I love the shape of the hood, he'll look like a leather fetish, uh, guy when he has it up. This is so awesome! Grofx is one of the most interesting Nobody OCs around, especially when he gets into creepy vicious mode, why wouldn't you take him seriously?

ACZamudio In reply to Emruki [2011-02-17 03:09:12 +0000 UTC]

I didn't know his name was hard to spell. It's just an anagram of Frog with an X at the end to make it sound awful. XD I do know it's hard to pronounce though.

Thanks!

Gerwell [2011-02-16 22:56:27 +0000 UTC]

Cool redesign! I really kike how your style is improving. His weapon is very cool, I love spear shaped weapons!

Just a thing though, even if you probably don't care. Nobodies can't travel through the dark corridors unless their skin is fully covered by the black cloaks, I never fully understood if it's because they might get sensed and attacked by the Heartless or because the darkness might consume them, though.
I know our nobodies are fanfic stuff but I just wanna say it somewhere since I see so much OC nobodies that show a lot of skin lol.

Thank you so much! Yeah I spent ages on that screw. I'm glad you like it.

Lol I totally didn't know that about the coats, but I don't really mind. He's becoming more of an original character anyway than something made specifically for KH. And if that's the case, some of our strongest members in RoA would be rendered useless! Haha. Thanks for the tip.

I like the boldness in the variety of thicknesses. I'll have to figure out how to go about that...not going to ask for a tutorial, but do you have any quick tips?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ACZamudio In reply to KammiG [2011-02-17 04:14:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Since you work traditionally, I recommend a brush pen. It's easier for me to change my line weight by varying pressure instead of going over the same line with a pencil or a Pitt pen several times.
Also, line weight is usually thicker if the two planes it's dividing are farther apart or if the form it's contouring is in shadow. Have fun!
