Next up for the Cork's design profiles, Merlot! Now with toes, because he goes barefoot and that would've been too much chickening out >> Stupid crooked toes. I do want to pat his hair, tho XD I love how there's virtually no difference between (not actually) nekkid and casual clothes. Pair of jocks versus a pair of shorts. Does make him easy to colour, tho :D Also, tats are fun to draw.

PIRATE gets a top now, because I felt like making him more different to the other two >> And a shark tooth necklace. Cos everyone loves a shark tooth necklace. Cliché skull and crossed sword just cos. I wanted to try and get the Cork in there somewhere but really, corks don't work in tattoo form and a wine bottle would've been assumed as rum. So twisty rope as recommended by Sallie :D

The GW armour isn't actually Vabbian, just mostly. Feet and hands are just Shing Jea, because the Vabbian handwraps and boots were way too much for Merlot. Cos yaknow. It's not too detailed as it is >> The gold certainly stands out against all the brown/creamy pics, tho XD;;

Merlot's facial expressions are boring, but this is intentional so that's okay. He's not hugely emotive. He just reckons he's hot stuff and tries to keep with that look. Yeah~

Angry Merlot looks a bit like a girl. Sorry, Merlot. It's the hair >>



Pose referenced from mjranum-stock on dA. Mostly the line of his stomach and shading around the shoulders/neck.

Angry Merlot is my favourite expression. SO THERE.

He's so hot. I love him and his ever changing tattoos - which are AWESOME designs btw. Loooove the stylised tiger. omg.

He's got such a sexy torso <3 And I am VERY please with the feet <3 Good Narti.

But now I'm sad we didn't see penis D:

His hair looks hot. (No, I don't know where my fixation of/on hair comes from, but dude, Narti! I love his hair.)

And yaaaaaaaaaaay for seeing this all coloured and awesome! (I actually really like your rounded style of colouring. Gives the whole thing such a nice soft look.)

(And I'm glad you can't bring yourself to draw men's bits -- *can't even type the stupid word* -- because now I can comment on it!)

I love the splash of colour coming from behind him and his tats. But I kinda said about the tats yesterday. (Also I think sad Merlot is more girlish than angry Merlot.)

Sooooooooooooooo pretty to look at!

Merlot's hair is FUN, damnit :DD So floofy and awesome fun XD

Rounded style meaning that (http://community.livejournal.com/h_bee/79621.html) kind of thing?

The blue light things are his wingies :D
