Can you tell I wanted to do exactly One (1) thing, here. That I was sooooo caught up in The Concept of The Guy and then just. Oh god. Fuck all that other shit. Fuck that shoulder armor in particular. Anyways! Say hi to Zephyr! 👋😊

Some doodles, various levels of got too smudged and didn't clean up. Rip

I do completely adore xyr attitude though... I imagine xe came from a strict family. Wasn't really "a choice" to pursue higher education (presumably at a particularly prestigious university), just an expectation. Performed... excellently? At least until xe broke under a lifetime of pressure. Also at the first taste of autonomy xe speedran one thousand piercings got huge chunky goth boots and then decided xe needed to go die in I mean Explore the labyrinth.

And finally! For reference!

The Determined voice has a bit of a soft-spokenness, to it. Which. Combined w the portrait's very somber expression, makes Zephyr's range of expressions I doodled extremely funny tbh. The serious-silly balance..... at xyr fucking limit. Sooooo put together about it, though (lying). With an award winning smile! (TRUE! Very cutes!)

#etrian odyssey #fuck it i'm not letting those hours spent on this go to waste. and i do geniunely like this little guy a lot!#unfortunately misc ocs don't tend to have a lot of insane staying power w me though. they're really fun!#but def tend to be one-offs you know. moe only gets rights bc it's directly tied to the askr siblings.#MAN maybe it's the silhouette but zephyr looks like xe could be a really cute summoner oc too though #but tbh i got my hands full in that regard. this is just for funsies. and bc the design concept was soooo striking for me #i TRIED to do a little purplish shading but i think i got the wrong pencils for it. but the purple undertones are important #the color palette was FASCINATING to work with. dark military green orange and golds. w space colors.#AND futuristic neons for good measure. really funky if i refined this it could go hard #THE PIERCINGS WERE THE MOST FUN!!! the sunray three rings in the cartilage #the shooting star eyebrow and industrial. and the purply gauges. also the ring on the lips (a crescent moon maybe?)#... also ignore the fact that zephyr's ordeal is damn near identical to moe's. i just love the trope so much.#catastrophic burnout identity crisis case. goes hog wild as soon as you get a taste of agency.#blows everything up and then fucks off forever. beautiful 10/10 no notes.#zephyr (eoc)#my art
