[] PROMPT 4 [] ⋆ ✩ Kepler ✩ ˚ ⋆ · It is common knowledge that each and every one of us is made of stars. Billions of years of cosmic formation and destruction has cast out all of the elements necessary to create life, to create us. But I doubt any of us can say that we ARE the embodiments of stars. Kepler sits alone on that throne. He spends his days alone, years in solitude. By nature, he is a wanderer - like a comet unbound to any celestial body. He traces along the outskirts of star systems, traipsing through galaxies in search of everything and nothing at once. Though he is alone, that is not to say he is unhappy. No, he is content, as it is all he knows. He always feels the pull further out into the cosmos, always awaiting some sort of reason for his drifting. He has yet to know. So until then, he continues his journey. But maybe someday he will happen upon a lively planet, and cast his feet upon the ground for a moment of rest. [] questions for the contest host: [] - can i post this work on my toyhouse? (i can credit you via your scratch account, or however you'd prefer. also it's fine if the answer is no in general lol) - could i potentially also use this piece/design process on my commissions page? (again, i can credit you however you prefer if its okay) - last but not least, and admittedly this one's a little more conceptual, but would you be interested/okay with this character being incorporated into my science fiction comic project, Primevice, as a background character? again, i would credit you as the owner (if you do claim this character) and would do my best to reach out to you if i ever get around to a part/environment in the story that he could be in the background for. admittedly though this is something that would likely happen yearsss down the road but i was wondering right off the bat what your thoughts were (again all good if it's just a no) also the song, which is by Thomas Farnon, was just on repeat for me while i was working on this lol. love that guy shoutout his work [] LINKS TO FULL QUALITY IMAGES IN PROJECT []
[] fullscreen recommended [] in order: - Kepler's full design/reference sheet - Full sheet closeup - Flat color design/reference sheet - Tied down design sketch - Initial design explorations/concepting it was fun to tap back into character design.. definitely need to do it more. thanks for letting me enter !
