Space or arrow keys or click ~ I know I said it would probably take a second but I couldn't wait haha. This isn't exactly how I expected the design to come out but I like it! Let me know if you want anything to be changed! 1 - uncolored (mostly) - this shows just the sea-glassy bits. I used a watercolor brush to blend the colors together to use multiple of the colors that I associate with sea glass, and then I turned down the opacity just a touch [because sea glass is pretty frosty a lot of the time] 2 - as you can tell I had a very difficult time figuring out what the rest of the color scheme should be haha. This is the first version, which I like okay, but doesn't feel super coherent. Also, I accidentally only put the colors on that one, but most of them are the same throughout 3 - this one is also okay but not where I wanted it 4 - I like this one the best. It feel so much more tied together and I finally got it looking the way I wanted haha! Of course, feel free to use the other ones if you like them or to combine things from different parts of the design ~ whatever is cool OH + also the things on his boots are like fins I guess?? Not entirely sure, just sort of drew them to mimic the legs of the mantis haha Ignore the female sign in the back (that's on the ref photo lol) - this buddy is a boy (at least I designed him that way)
All of the bg ref images belong to their rightful owners - I just left them in there bc why not But they're not mine and I in no way claim them as my own! I just got them off of google I'm gonna miss you, buddy *sniff* Design for @Aiosder ! Don't take it if you aren't them :) ----->and if you hate this child or smth I can make you a new one
