Stitches

So to those who were hoping a boss drawing for my souls-like game, The Sins of our creator (TSOOC). I'm sorry to break it to ya but I couldn't decide on which boss to do. So in the end I decided to move the spotlight from bosses to the NPC's
and so that what I got here a new NPC for my souls-like game, however as you learn to know this guy, the more you'll get the feeling that he seems fimilar-ish.



This is Stitches.
He's not very... trustworthy. He's pretty much the kind of person who's going to trick you into danger no matter what and no matter how many times, and once you survive from whatever he did to you and return to him, he will try to ease you and will try to get back on your good side.
He's a manipulate is what I'm trying to say

(IDK where you will first encounter Stitches, but somewhere in the game you will encounter if you just explored) 
When Interacting he will say, 
??? (Stitches): Who goes there?! *sees you* Oh! huh, your a human. Well glad to know that Im not the only here hehe ^^
The Name's Stitches. yeah I know, its an odd name. But then again who doesn't have an odd name in this crazy world right? *lightly chuckle that also sound abit suspicious* *his eyes move slightly towards something to his far right* hey, ya see that uhhh- that loot over there? Why dont you go grab it and u and me can go sell it for a nice price? 

Player already knows about the trap above them which was a massive boulder that will block the players way if they try to grab the loot.
Stitches: what? whats wrong? *looks up and sees the trap* oh that! oh uuuuuuuuugh... well you see... I'm sure that boulder wont fall down. *chuckling suspiciously* Seriously. go get the loot. -_-



The player goes over to the loot to pick it up, and then all of a sudden, the massive boulder falls down and blocks your way out and Stitches starts laughing.
Stitches: HA! Dumbass! Well, enjoy the your prize while you still can. Later loser! XD *leaves the player to die of starvation*
However even tho the boulder blocked your way, there was another way out, and soon you'll run into Stitches again which will leave him stunned and surprised.
Stitches will then try to play off as he didn't meant on what he said and tries to make it all better by giving you an item that he had.



After encountering Stitches, he'll then become a merchant in the hub area and will sell you some stuff.
He's got the good healing stuff for like 500 INK
some armor pieces for like 1000 INK for each pieces
afew weapons again for like 500 or 100 INK
Some neat cards that you can add to your collection for 45000 INK (cards are one of the collectibles in the souls-like game... well maybe. IDK if these are confirmed or not)
and he will sell some pretty rare stuff, that are NOT cheap. and why I say NOT cheap, I mean as in Stitches will most likely charger you 50,000 INK


Later on in the story, you might encounter him again and once again he will try to kill the player but taking it into a new level by getting the player stuck in a pit of monsters.
Encounter with Stitches again, he is once again surprised about the player surviving and will once again try to downplay of what he did and will give you another one of his items if you decide to forgive him.
After that, he'll go back to being a merchant.




In case you couldn't figure it out yet, Stitches is supposed to be a parody character of the NPC Patches from the souls series.
Now I love Patches as a character even tho he pretty much dose almost the same thing in all the souls games (almost all of the souls games) and he dose have a few VERSIONS of himself in all these games 
Therese Patches the Hyena in Demon Souls, Trusty Patches in Dark Souls, Unbreakable Patches in Dark Souls 3, Patches the Spider in Bloodborne, and Patches the Tarnished in Elden Ring. and their all voiced by the same voice actor, William Vanderpuye who gives such a charming performance.

out of all the characters in all the souls games, Patches just might be one of my most fav characters. and so I wanted to add him in my souls-like game in a way, and so Stitches was made.
Why did I call him Stitches? 2 reasons for that.

Reason one, I thought the name Stitches would work as a good parody name to patches because what to u do with a patch? ya stitch it in.
Reason two, the name Stitches also came to me from the Batman TellTale episode "Same Stitch" so I just thought why not.




For Stitches appearance, I honestly had no idea on how to make him look, until I thought to myself, well he's looting corpse for their stuff so why not would he be wearing some of that stuff that he loot, including his rings and stuff, along with gives him a few stitches of course due to his name lol
On the right side of the drawing I also decided to do some sketches of Stitches other faces of him being sneaky, nervous, pissed off, and shocked/surprised.

I also drew one of the rings that he has because why not.




that about all I got about this drawing and NPC
my next drawing related to my souls-like will also be another NPC
until then, I hope u all like the drawing and have a great day.
