Oh well well, look who's back, my humanized version of Polybius (the creepypasta)! This could be considered the ultimate version, I haven't changed much of his design because I still like it and I though it was iconic so I've just changed some little details and added others (like the patches on his arms for example).
I have to say that finally he looks like an adult (or at least a 21 years old guy, his "appearance age"), how he should have been since the beginning haha (in my old drawing he looked more like a teenager... XD)

I was thinking that I've never explained the reasons behind his design and, in my opinon, it's actually really important, because every detail has always had a sense. First of all, he doesn't just represent the game Polybius, but also elements of the creepypasta itself: I made his outfits taking inspiration from the "men in black" clothes who have an important role in the story, the cyan parts on his jacket represent one of the cabinet type of Polybius (this particular one www.campaniaveritas.it/wp-cont… ) and the color shade is the same as the logo and on his back, above the cyan stripes, there is also the game logo (I made it clear in an old concept art I made in my old account, SumatraDjVero -> www.deviantart.com/sumatradjve… ). Obviously there are also elements from the game: his eyes are basically the screen of the cabinet so the shape is mostly based on the second level of Polybius, but they can change to whatever level of the game, the patches on his arms have the "central spaceship" from the game which can be considered his main symbol, in fact around him there are the colored vector shapes that orbit him just like in the game, same reasoning applies to the quadrangular forms on his belly (black and white), which represent a level of the game where they turns around the central spaceship.

Polybius is a sociopathic, he always has a creepy grin on his face, kind of sadistic, very manipulative for his nature to take control of people's mind, aggressive when necessary, extremely clever and smart, arrogant and he uses to take his tongue out as a mockery, but in reality he also does it to emit a psychoactive substance, which mixed with his mind manipulation, can transforms a person into his slave.
So he's basically a really bad guy!
Of course I've kept the fact he has a Subliminal Hell form, I'm already re-working on the design, because it needs some changes (a lot changes actually).

Anyways this is my first work using Clip Studio Paint, I've always used Photoshop only, but I have to say that I really like CSP and I prefer this one for lineart and coloration which are smoother than PS, and I can even work with vectors which is very useful for prints and edits. However it has very less things than PS, so I will still use PS for some little adjustments, effects and text editing.

Oh before leaving, in the pic there are some subliminal messages from the game, just saying because with the lowest luminosity of the smartphones and tablets they can't be seen clearly!
