Ian Reference Sheet

I have to admit, it's nice to take a break from painting and do some digital lines again. _{I think coming back to them after gaining a bit more confidence in anatomy helps a lot, hahah;;}

Anyway! A reference sheet for Ian--I really wanted to figure out his look once and for all, and I'm actually pretty happy with how this came out! (Nevermind he doesn't actually, ahm, look any different than when I first drew him in the AD comic... /cough) Content to let my style take me where it will, for now...

But, yeah. He might look nice, but he's really not a compassionate or likeable guy. Ian takes anyone trying to treat him nicely as a sign of pity and has a tendency to overreact, aggressively.

Random aside... Ian actually comes from a pretty well-off family, but that just makes him useless and unskilled now that he's on the streets. He's gotten a lot tougher since he started to hang out around Cris's gang, though. He actually uses his looks to help him steal things, or sneak in--Cris finds this useful, but still hates the kid's guts.

...I know that the AD characters are pretty boring appearance-wise, but that's because really, this is all about the story.

Anyway, yep! I'm working on a Cris reference right now, but he's fighting me tooth and nail, so we'll see how this goes... And a Cris to go with! [link]
