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 >>

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