Here he is!
Here is my main boy! It feels like I haven't drawn my main OC in such a long while, it makes me a little sad. But... I'm kinda thankful I haven't drawn him before now, because of-- I mean just LOOK at the picture! Look at how much my art style have evolved since last time I drew him! His hairstyle even changed slightly since then! (oh btw the clothes are kinda random, they're not his new regular clothes, I just put on something I randomly saw recently)
Check out the quick sketch I made to get an idea of how his hairstyle is like now:
Like holy shit, I think I suddenly did a huge leap in style development since then, most notably how I draw hair now. I am also noticing I'm trying more to pursue the cell-shade style as well. I remember what my last teacher told me regarding my shading. It's good, but the soft shading mixed with my anime'y cartoony style doesn't mix too well. Err as in, I mean it look FINE, but it would look better if it has hard shading, and I had to agree with him, which is why you guys can notice more cell-shaded pieces in my gallery since a specific time heheheh~

Anyways, as I was saying.. I'm glad I took a break became obsessed with other OCs and things for a while, practicing my craft with the other stuff. It makes me glad to think this break gave me the opportunity to get back to Pharragan with a clear mind, where I was able to look at him objectively again and see what changes he needed. I feel like he was extremely two-dimentional, where I defined him only based off of his shit-eating grin, his obnoxious confidence and carefree life.
... I will humor myself however and say that I had absolutely no idea how I would add well-fitting traits to this character, especially negative traits. I didn't want my bby to be hurting, but at the same time I had no idea how I'd balance out his positives with negatives.
Luckily I just recently found out how I'd go about doing it, so his personality has now been redesigned a little bit, something I was afraid I'd have to do back then, but couldn't before now. Don't worry, he's still the confident self you all know, but now he's more human. He now has genuine concerns, worries, and personal problems. To me, now he is a much more interesting character to explore and find out stuff about. Before, he was kinda just like an open book. He might've been interesting with his cool personality, but that was about it, he gave no incentive to delve deeper in his character. I hope with this rework, people will be just as interested for what he is like now as I am~

Please forgive me if I start posting edgy or artsy-fartsy non cocky pictures of him. I haven't explored these emotions of his, and never could properly before now, so please bare with me =v= He might still be confident in his abilities, but he's not the solid brick-wall as you once knew him as. He's much more fragile now. I need to take care of my fragile boi <3
