I kicked ass and made a load of room in my mum's room. Sadly that will not last too long, as it will get filled with books at some point in the very near future so that people can actually sit on our sofa. Which includes me, because I like sitting on there, damnit, even if the bloody thing doesn't have any arms.

But I digress.

Then I went and I doodled some doodles. I was trying to get the hang of how David should look, and found myself enjoying drawing him more than I did Electra, so she has been temporarily binned. Because I did this one doodle, and it was meant to be her, except that it became obvious that what I was drawing was a samurai (vis). So I carried on doing that and ended up with this (also here at dA).

I am not entirely displeased, since that was the whole point of inventing him in the first place. It also means I got use out of a reference I wanted to use for an entirely different picture.

Misc notes include: me not being able to draw cherry blossom, so leaves instead; crappy gradient background completely on purpose!; costume is wrong on purpose, too. I know what a samurai should look like, and I know what I wanted David to look like. The two were not the same thing.

I may do some more fiddling with this tomorrow, I may not, since it turned into a speed paint wherein I tried to finish before I had to dish out tea.

I'm going to try to fill an entire sketchbook just with him, to see what comes of it. And also because I have about a billionty spare sketchbooks lying around doing nothing.
