Character Design Notes: Warren

This is the third in a series of Kyoto Animation-style character design sheets. They’re in the style of my Fablehaven animation. I go into detail under the cut.

Here are some quotes from the books referencing Warren’s appearance.

'Handsome and quiet? White hair and skin? Dale's brother' Warren was no longer albino. He had dark hair and intense hazel eyes. Warren wore a dark orange T-shirt and gray sweatpants. Contrasted against the shirt, his arms looked white as milk. Dale turned him so that he was seated on the edge of the bed. When Dale let go, Kendra half-expected Warren to topple over, but he remained seated upright, eyes vacant. He looked to be in his twenties, at least ten years younger than Dale. Even with pale skin, white hair, and empty eyes, Warren was unexpectedly handsome. Not quite as tall as his brother, Warren Had broader shoulders and a firmer jaw. His features were more finely sculpted. Looking at Dale, she would not picture his brother handsome. Looking at Warren, she would not picture his brother plain. And yet seen together, a family resemblance persisted. Standing in the doorway, he studied her. He looked even more handsome now that he had possession of himself. His striking eyes were a silvery hazel. Had they been that color before? He ran a white hand through his thick hair, then stared at his palm. "I thought I was looking sort of bleached", he said, flexing his fingers. "I have leather armor under my shirt," Warren said. "The freak still gave me a good scratch. I keep my knives sharp." Warren crouched, recovering his throwing knife from where it had fallen. Warren wore several new rings and clung to a sheathed sword with a pearly hilt.

Seeing that he had "several new rings" implies he would wear rings normally, and that those are additions.

When introducing himself, Warren mentions being a Scorpio, making him... something of a zodiac girlie.

All this gave me the impression of him that you see reflected in his design. The throwing knives, too, and evidence of frequent injury are present.

Below is a design for the sword with the pearly hilt from Lost Mesa. Swords aren't a weapon really seen in Navajo or Hopi cultures, so I tried to make a sword of fairy-like design.

As a personal touch, I gave him the down-turned eyes of an elderly cat. His face is meant to look like a smug, somewhat mischievous elderly cat.

how to say “I love you” in x-files [5/?] ⤷ 1.03 — “Squeeze”

In our investigations, you may not always agree with me, but at least you respect the journey.

The X Files is great and was truly the slow burn blueprint because sometimes Scully will look at Mulder and be like 'you are the one person I would risk it all for' and Mulder will be like 'I would never be okay ever again if I lost you' and then there will be a Moment and immediately afterwards they will just drive away to some weird town in Wisconsin where some creepy looking bug is terrorising the crops or whatever and they just continue on bickering. and this is like season 1 episode 5 at 34 minutes in and you have to just sit with that.

ON THE SHOW "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS," THE KRABBY PATTIES THE TITULAR SPONGEBOB MAKES PROFESSIONALLY ARE, PER THE SERIES CREATOR, VEGETARIAN. THIS IS BECAUSE NICKELODEON HAD RULES FOR THE SPONGEBOB PRODUCTION TEAM AGAINST DEPICTING FISH AS FOOD FOR OTHER FISH. SOMETIMES THEY BROKE THIS RULE

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either

A cult bumbles a ritual, intending to sacrifice a child to a god of “murder”, they mistranslate and invoke a god of “motherhood”. And boy, is Mama pissssssed.
