A sort of self portrait without reference.
...100% sure that doesn't look anything like me.
This picture is dedicated to my deviousness that I have hidden for a majority of my life but am letting it show more often... mostly through the suggestions of running down pedestrians, kicking puppies, and coming up of ways to mess with people psychologically. Oh yeah~. 8D
I did a test run for color and imagined the background to be a sort of a mid-gray-brown with the gears a dark brown (because I'm stupidly thinking of steampunk stuff). I named it Like Clockwork in reference to the workings of my own mind.
I was reading a book with a section on guardian spirits and this image popped into my head. The colors aren't quite right (should be more saturated and orange/golden) but I'll redo 'em later.
What really struck me the most was that his face reminded me of the God of the Forest from Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke." The eyes were very wide and it seemed as if he was always smiling. Like the God, he doesn't really talk but says all that he needs to say in his motionless face. (Which, frankly kind of weirded me out, especially with the wide eyes.)
A very odd creature. I enjoyed drawing him. His face was difficult to do because although it struck me as a deer at first, I couldn't shake the fact he felt more like a lion than anything.
