I binged another of Naoki Urasawa’s manga series today, and I felt inspired by his stellar art style, sooo I studied some of his drawings and drew some random faces. Also included is my OC Jean if he was drawn that way bc I thought it would be a fun challenge and I think it suits him well

fade-steppin asked: pls tell me about Jean van der Heide

OH MAN where to start!!! first off, thanks for asking, I’m always super stoked when people ask me about my oc’s hahah.

So yeah, he’s a stupid rich dutch-american boy who went to all the right schools, who is very much an ‘old money’ type of person, having spent most of his life within the comfortable confines of the New York upper class. His family owns a large business in transport of steel which got filthy rich during the second world war, and so they made a point of still selling to the axis powers even after america joined the allies in ‘42. so his family history is already dubious, which only gets more complicated when one of the ships bound for italy returned with millions worth in art, stolen by the nazis and given to his father for safekeeping. 

jean believes he is the rightful owner of this art, and will go to whatever lengths necessary to make sure it stays that way. this plunges him into a rabbit hole of conspiracies, organized crime and crimes of passion. 

so yeah, he is really not a good guy at all, but who knows where his story will take him haha. im still working on him and his tale so maybe something more will come of it one day, until then I’ll try to not spoil anything :p;p

did a redraw of some old oc’s for fun, even though i put like zero effort into it haha. it’s still fun to pick out the similarities and differences in how i approach a drawing and original character designs, regardless of effort, i think. a lot has improved in 6 years, though my sense of colour is still a bit wack, considering i had to lighten up the 2013 drawing significantly for this post, something i still have to do with my more recent stuff. 

first proper drawing of the year and its of this jerk

i see a whole lot of people sharing and following me because of my old Supernatural, DW and Star Wars arts. I dont draw much of that anymore, but i appreciate the love my old stuff has gotten the last few days. I hope that my more recent stuff still gives my new followers some fun and joy on their feeds. :p

in light of recent events, I’ll signal boost my twitter again so those who decide to leave still have a place to find me. I post pretty much the same stuff but with more short anecdotes and jokes about my life. https://twitter.com/HollyOakhill

that being said, how do you guys tell if a post has been flagged or not? I’d like to see if my posts are affected. 

also a clarification, i will stick around.
I don’t have any plans to leave any time soon so don’t worry about me leaving just yet. Just letting u guys know where to find me.

I’ve been practicing art for over ten years and i still have no consistency, but that’s just the spice of life I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
