normally i have a pretty easy time with first drafts of Characters. but i fucking hate Gier's now that I'm not exhausted and a Teensy bit off my shits, and I'm not even going to post the first draft of Maalik's bc they came out so bad.

I'm going to give them both another shot tonight tho and i might just ditch full body designs and figure out their faces first.

#like i have Such a strung image of Maalik #Or like strong by aphantasia standards #Hes a big man in a self propelled wheelchair #the metal bars and such are wrapped in nice ribbon because thats easier to replace when it rots than the frame itself.#he uses it because he gets winded easily and doesn't have a lot of range so Gier does a lot of pushing. They've modified the handles to #just be bare metal bars with cheap bike grips over them so they can be replaced easily.#Maalik is a stylish guy and tends to like dressing up. a button up and slacks is his shorts and flip-flops #white tie is his preferred style. but he tends to go for a lot of bright colors and prints #He has a dark beard and wears a lot of hats. I cant decide if hes black or indian I dont know Why but those are the two sorta ethnicities #indian into the middle east. Just everything from the arab subcontinent up to about turkey and over to eastern india. Thats Kinda #where his vibe feels like it is.#Like obviously hes very based on a sorta modernized big band boss guy. Someone who wouldve done numbers during the harlem Renaissance #and then for Gier.#hes long #and moldy #and thats it.#Ive got nothing but long and moldy
