Aspiring cartoonist with an actual comic being worked on. I'll eventually post updates on my comics while showing off my own artwork if I feel brave enough to do so. https://linktr.ee/jolavdabsko

Top row are characters that greatly inspired the creation of the character, while mid-to-bottom row are ones that help develop the idea for said character. Learning the strengths and flaws for each character/person have helped to give me an idea for what the character of Ethan G. Ostaga could be like as development of the comic continues. And it's not just about egotism, it's also about having the pride and self confidence that let them get what they want and make people recognize them without the need for force. Despite some of their egotistic nature, they have signs of their heart of gold nature and sudden influence that makes people want to admire them rather than admonish them. Though when it comes to flaws (Most prevalent in the middle row), it comes from the inner struggle of their mental state that left them anxious when the odds are stacked against them. But even so, their reckless yet brave nature keeps them from breaking under pressure even all the way to the end.

I went for the black and white aesthetic design of my character likely based on the Steamboat Willy character design from Kingdom Hearts 2. The green and blue eyes on my character is based on my differing personas (Bucky, Dannyboy). This is pretty much the whole form persona that has culminated into the cartoonist that I am now.
The first webcomic I worked on. Still in progress, but I may intend to work on it more as practice and testing out how I can make things happen in a comic.
My brain wouldn't leave me alone until I get this made, so I have that to thank <3 Also, when Postal Dude mentions Ame Chan, it's like how an American pronounces Japanese names when they're not familiar with it (type "Ame Chan" on Google Translate in English to know what I mean).
Used with convert layer on Manga Studio... Decent result if I say so myself.
I attempted to replicate a mixed style of my own and of Hajime Ueda, the artist behind the FLCL manga, Monogatari ending animations, and the cover art of Okage: Shadow King... It ended up being more of my style, but hey, worth a try (laughs).
