Description
Aside from Mask Face and Jerra the pirate, there is one other character I have whose exact “birthday” I know. That day is today, February 26, and that character is this guy, this weird, species-unknown fantasy-being… his name is Togh! Nowadays he is the main-est character of a story series I call “The Mirror Pool Legends”. ^_^
I know my public sharing of Togh has been really really minimal, but he’s been with me for longer than either of the two Dreaming-Esmeralda ladies I mentioned up there… I first scribbled out this fellow in 2006! So that would make it his thirteenth anniversary as of today! It’s WELL past time I did some observance of that, too.
When my brain first ‘conceived’ Togh, I started with a desire to make a character with blue hair. Seriously, that was my only criterion at first! And from there, Toggy emerged. I was just so proud of him in those early days, he just felt like a really original and inspired invention and I could barely stop doodling him. <3 He’s changed quite a bit since then… most notably, his magical properties have mostly narrowed down to a specialized hydrokinesis (he used to just ‘do magic’), and he’s not such a SERIOUS McSERIOUS-PANTS anymore. His face actually knows expressions other than ‘stern frown’. x’D
(Cough) So yeah. I made him an anniversary drawing. ^_^ I drew him doing his iconic float-sit that he’s been doing since the very beginning. Check the ancient, original-era drawings of him in that link for proof!
Happy "birthday", Toggy!

Very cool design! I think this feels very ballanced and the points of interests are on point! A cool character! (His tail looks so cute I dunno why)

Its like the details that stand out first. For me it starts with his ears,then his face (or head in general I suppose,lol) , his snazzy jacket, feet and then the tail! It leads the eye comfortably down the length of the character without being bombarded by too much extra details.(I have some character designs where the points of interest are all clustered to one end and makes them look kinda lopsided once in awhile.)
And I do! Such a chill looking dude!

OMG He's precious!! I'm in love with the design, it's incredibly beautiful and pleasant to look, and definetely cool! One of my favourite character designs from you. The long blue hair is neat, and it combines very well with the long ears and short horns, and he has a handsome looking face, with a lovely friendly smile. The thin and tall body is very fitting for a character able to control water, same with that long and thin tail. Fantastic clothing choice, love the long-vest-cape, I want one too. XD The water came out very well, reminds me of how it looks in the Avatar series.
