sisyphus. i imagine he's a very jovial man.
heavily based on his phase 2 design. it's a bit too human for my taste but i didn't know what else to do lol
also gave him a full head of hair because i want to. i haven't drawn dreadlocks in a while i miss it and i need to practice.

bro i luv spider-punk but i specifically wanna talk about his hair
he. has. wicks!!!
the origin of wick dreadlocks is florida usa, and are named due to the resemblance to a "candle wick" because of how they stick straight up and/or out!
now, wicks have a bad reputation even within the loc community.
its already known that like if you got dreads, generally, ppl think u are unkempt, and dirty, and things of that nature, but there is even more discrimination against wicks its unreal. like legit yall i cant even begin to explain the nasty shit ppl say about them because i will be sad.
its kinda just considered the "crazy Florida man hairstyle". and a lot of the hate is due to the fact that wicks, appear "unkempt" or things of that nature
there has been a lot of texturism in the loc community which has brought with it the idea that dreads need to be retwisted to be "properly" taken care of, and need to be flat on your head and all these other things that often bring with it the need to hide your natural hair. i get unsolicited advice on my hair all the time telling me "i need a retwist" because of the belief that black hair needs to be all tidy and stuff to be respected.
but the thing is, dreads aren't meant to be all neat and tidy all the time y'know. its black hair in one of its most natural forms. and who better to showcase that than hobie brown, spider punk?
wicks kinda go against everything that dreads are "supposed" to be and "supposed" to look like.
i just love everything about this movie but i especially wanted to like talk about this hair choice. hair most def has meaning, especially black hair, so i think this was a really cool and fitting design choice for his character and everything he represents.
(i did my best to like articulate my thoughts but hopefully this makes at least a bit a sense)

Going absolutely ballistic that I didn’t think of this fracking Seal pun back in my BotW comicing days. Absolutely no excuse! I mean I did kinda with Zelda’s magic which is also referred to with “sealing” but c’mon, past me!
ANYWHO, new Riju is top tier, even if i still liked drawing her hair shorter here than it is in the actual game~
