Description I drew this a while back (those of you who pay attention to my icon/insta will know how long it's been), but wasn't really happy with how it came out. Finally decided to submit it since I'm on a Eden spree anyway-
Inspired by seeing stuff on tumblr and instagram, photos of white walls and fairy lights and sunlight photgraphy. Dreamy stuff. Thought it'd be suitable for him.

He is... truly too giving to a world that won't love him back.

Extract from his bio:
If you're someone he cares for, he will climb mountainsΒ and cross seas for you and drive halfway across town at 2 AM to your house if you so much as give him a sad call. And he honestly doesn't expect much in return on his friends' end. And I think ... neither does he get much in return. Despite him being social and knowing so many people that he can joke with, the ones whom are actually willing to be there for him can be listed down on one hand with maybe a finger or two to spare. But he really, really can't stand being alone too long. Friends are pretty much the most important people in his life.Β

He needs so, so many hugs, and he deserves more hugs than he actually gets.Β

It's Friday night, I got a good soda and listening to Kpop, time to trawl some art and give it some appreciation.

REally eye-catching, this one.Β  The soft colors meld well with the splash of sunlight and it looks really comforting, even if he doesn't seem the happiest in this pic. Feels like he's out in somewhere open and airy and sunny, maybe a place that can be reassuring to him that things will turn out alright.

I come back to dA and I see a load of comments and nearly get a heart attackβ€”
of the good kind though. HOLY SHET, much thanks for all the comments you've given, I might not be able to reply to all of them at once as I'm very tired right now but know that I read and appreciate all of them.

Oh damn, this one! I updated the image but didn't change the description completely to reflect that. Also there are three diff color versions of this (which can be found on my insta) but you've hit the nail on the head with your remark about this version. Slightly sad, but still hopeful, this bean.

I do love causing some heart attacks

And you're very welcome! They are much deserved. Important to go back and appreciate older art, sometimes, either for the old pride you felt, or the realization of how much one has improved.

I bet all three of those versions worked very well :0 I am gonna guess this one is the best. Glad I got it right, woo

Thank you! He's definitely a delight to draw. Probably because of how simple his design is-

this is my first time seeing this oc and from this drawing alone, i immediately went to look for more art of him. i read his bio and everything and after that i just fell in love with him. his design, personality, and even the little quirks he has is so admirable! He makes me want to develop my ocs like this more,,
ahhh that's enough of me rambling now, but I can't wait to see more of this cutie and the rest of your ocs ;v;

Memphis-Rex In reply to PrinceReese [2017-01-24 05:39:01 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I'm flattered you like him! Honestly, even I am amused at how much he's developed from an ornament/casual oc to a very dear character of mine. And I'm glad you're inspired to do more with your own characters, too.
Rest assured, there's definitely going to be more of this green bean for a while.Β
