I enjoy sharing with @cometchasinglove headcanons about how Earthspark Starscream tends to be a flustered mess... but keeps most of these reactions to himself.

Except if taken by surprise... breaking his no-touchy personal barrier is the easiest way to achieve that.

Here's my ultimate character profile template that helps define crucial details of any important character in your story, may additionally help with outline, plot holes, and even writer's block if you're stuck or losing interest:

Name:

Gender:

Personality type: (unnecessary, but may be helpful with making your cast diverse and assigning more realistic fears and desires, e.g., enneagram)

Desires: (what does your character want?)

Fears: (what keeps them from getting it?)

Beliefs and misbeliefs: (what does your character need to change their mind about in order to overcome their fear and get what they desire? There's also beliefs in this part, because some things your character believes in don't necessarily change, but if they can somehow affect the plot, why not mention it? It doesn't necessarily have to be bad)

Social life: (how does your character behave around their family? Their friends? Strangers? Rivals? Enemies?)

Addiction: (what habits does your character possess? What or who do they depend on? Do they always need something in their hands to fidget with? Or do they often ask for a light?)

Self image: (how does your character view themselves personally? What are their imperfections they feel bad about? What are the parts of their appearance they're proud of? Do not confuse with physical description!)

Physical decription: (do not confuse with the former! What does your character look like to others?)

Backstory: (here's your time to shine by using everything we established in previous parts by explaining the reason behind each (but not necessarily every single one) part. For example: where did your character's fears come from? Their desire? Their misbeliefs? The ugly scar they're so uneasy about? Why do they smoke or need fidget toys? Why are they more friendly to strangers than their own family? Etc.)

Here's the blank version to copy and paste into your projects. Feel free to use, change, ignore some parts, or add your own:

Name:

Gender:

Personality type:

Desires:

Fears:

Beliefs and misbeliefs:

Social life:

Addiction:

Self image:

Physical description:

+Running some design tests after the last update. Was able to fix the head proportion issues and simplify the head silhouette down to an easier-to-draw shape but keep the 'messy hair look.' For me, his hair should stick out a bit like pieces of straw or ruffled feathers-- he's combed it back at some point, tried to keep the image together, but then it's beginning to come undone in places. Kind of symbolic of his personality.

I wasn't in the mood for inking, so I just kept my clean sketch lines since this was a test, threw some color and shading in, and painted one of those simple 30 minute backgrounds that look more complicated than they actually are.

His leathered glove pressed, though gently, flush to her mouth and chin—then to her chest, where her heart echoed the beat of a hunted fox.

a while ago, the talented @linksthoughtbrambles wrote this insanely beautiful fic for a gift exchange event for me, and I am still not over it and I doubt that I'll ever get over it. I wanted to draw That Scene in the story because wow, I think about it a lot. (I also need to practice drawing Link's royal guard outfit for... reasons.)

again thank you so much Brambles for "Black Flowers Blossom" — I hope you like the little art I made of it. <3
