Okay, so, here:
This kinda dirty looking guy is Rag Man, a boss from The Binding of Isaac, because of course he is. A lot of things I end up drawing are going to be from Isaac, it being one of the inspirations for me to try to learn art to begin with.
Here's how this guy looks in-game:
He's got more of a bulky, sorta exaggerated size to him, but that's specifically from his boss intro screen, most of the monsters look a little more bulky in those than they otherwise are. I'm more going off of his appearance during gameplay, where he's got a thinner, more lanky sort of look to him (as most of the characters do), though I'm still doing it a little different from that. Just trying to mimic size perfectly all the time just makes things I draw look really... stilted. So, part of doing this sort of thing is letting myself handle size & proportions to how I feel it should be.
Honestly that's been the hardest part of learning to draw/whatever, is getting away from the "mimicry' style I'd used before.
....Also I dont really draw "bulky" or "exaggerated" very well. I think I'm usually going to have that lanky sort of look for most characters I do.
As for the purple stuff, he does this funky "beam from the sky" thing that smacks him and causes Unpleasant Things to happen nearby, always with a "GWARRRRRGH!!!!!!" yell. I mean, who wouldnt do an aggressive shout and pose when that's happening?
I chose him as the subject for this drawing as he's a particularly memorable jerk and if an early game boss is going to smash up your run and just ruin your day, it's probably going to be him (or The Haunt, nobody likes that guy)
Also yes his teeth and bandages are supposed to look kinda grimy. Nothing in that game is clean, that's for sure. Probably smells terrible.
I might take this into Procreate later and trace it into digital form, see how that looks with easier coloring/shading.
