[Glitch Warning] The Whole Being Dead Thing

Published:
1.4K Views
Character  Onyx (OC)

Description

Death is taboo, but it's hardly something new
There's nothing medical professionals could do
‘cept maybe just bill you
There's no destiny or fate
Just a terrifying wait
Filled with people that you hate
And on a certain date, the Universe kills you!

~~~
Because DA ruined the clarity:

Text box reads: Onyx
I just LOVE your weird misplaced trust in me.
~~~

For some reason or another, musical references just keep sneaking their way into my characters. My days as a theatre kid refuse to let go of me. I mean, I'm not complaining, but it's a lot.


Anyways, meet my OC Onyx! He's my lovely ambiguously trans immortal spartan mad scientist. Unfortunately, a murderous bird killed him, but because of how magic works in his world, he got trapped in a hell dimension instead of passing on to oblivion. But instead of taking death lying down, he uses this opportunity to spy on the bad guys and create completely outlandish schemes to get himself back to life with his new also undead husband that he happened to pick up along the way.


We love an icon.


For reference, the first more saturated colours are his original palette, while the desaturated and weird eyes/glowing scars are his undead ones. Because I just love giving myself extra work. This piece is a redraw of something I doodled in January, where his new outfit spontaneously came into existence. Pretty proud of how far I've come in such a short time! 


(I swear I worked so hard on the glitch transition, but DA's probably going to kill it. Oh well, at least it's cool in Procreate.)

If you have any questions about the boi, feel free to drop them in the comments! I promise it's not a bother; I love answering questions about my OCs!
