Description [Click on the image and fullview, please! Transparency is silly...]

Here's a new character of mine, Rourke. :3

He was created kind of randomly on the drive down to Texas. I wanted to practice drawing skinny dudes, so I drew a random one, and I ended up liking the design enough to refine him!

The more I fill in his personality, the more I'm digging him.

He's from the same story as Shikuto & Forte, that whole group... but belongs to the opposing "faction", if you will. He's a commander, and that would be their uniform (though the style can vary a bit, person to person).

I wanted a color scheme that opposed F.O.R.C.E's (navy and grey) and came up with this... I honestly don't know how well it'll be received, but I like it.

Hey, it was brighter. To which I promptly toned down. You should be thanking me.

But yeah.


Yay villians!

And even better... yay villians with blue hair!

EDIT: Mark made a comment that if these people are from the military, the color scheme looked too warm; as in, it didn't feel like it fit. Which was a valid point! He had a problem with the tan color, and suggested I changed it to white. So, I played with the colors a bit more, and came up with this. It's a lot colder, and maybe more what you'd expect from this sort of group. So this will be their uniform colors now~

he has quite a cool masculine feel for a skinny guy

as far as the costume goes i think the darker red sections make it look pretty good

Thank you muchly! Hah, guess I just can't take the manliness out of a man no matter what I do

Glad you like him and the colors, though. I appreciate it!

Btw, do you think you'll be coming on sunday? We're starting the marathon at 11.

i would normally think the blue hair would clash horribly with the orange outfit but the red really does help balance it to me

blech thus my reason with hating mudkips the ugly blue and orange it just clashes so horribly to my eyes i know theyre contrasting but i just cant take that set

um this sunday the 11th? not much planned at the moment other than probably get a start on my ussop upgrades/cosplay stuff fix a few things on guy maybe

Well thank you! I'm glad it turned out okay.

Yeah, I hate mudkips too. The color and the design just... are terrible to me. D:

Yup. It's up to you if you want to come, looks like Mark, Alan, James, and Julia (maybe Jiffy) are coming. It lasts until 4:30...

If you do come, could you bring those prints Tima printed off for me? She should know what I'm talking about. I forget them the last time I came over.

You might get this too late anyway, haha. Ah well.

This ear reminds me of pulled sugar for some reason <3 *nibble*

I liked his outfit, it's like a combination of supertech mechanical but he also has lazy-boy sweat pants pulled over and a big fancy coat. All villains need a fancy coat, it's like a law.

Though I personally think you should add a little more blue to the crystals(?) on his coat, there's a really big disconnection between his pretty blue hair and the rest of his outfit. Something like a muted teal would really help tie together the colors and create some great blue/orange and/or green/red contrast.

I wonder what he hides in his zipper pocket

Pfft.

Haha, it is law. Glad you like the outfit though, That kind of mesh of things is what I was going for!

Yeah, I thought about that too... I'll go ahead and try that out after work, see if it looks better as a more cyan color.

I don't know! I'll ask him sometime...

Thanks!

Is it also weird that when I typed that comment, I was listening to 'Last Unicorn' by Kenny Loggins and it was the chorus where he sings "I'm alive! I'm a~live"?

Deus-Nocte In reply to Song64 [2010-07-08 02:30:45 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, that's awesome.

I was more referencing the song "I'm Alive" by Disturbed, but that's even better. 8D

THOSE ARE STILL GODDAMN UNICORNS!

Btw, I made the crystals and stuff a bit more blue... not a whole lot, though, as I didn't want to make a drastic change. *shrugs* anything more just didn't look good with the outfit.
