Character Design: The Crimson Fly

So. Here we are. The title character. The guy you came here to see. The Crimson Fly.


So, some notes on the character:
-Yes, his legs are weird. Think rabbit or quadrupedal legs.
-He's wearing a mask with goggles overlayed on top. No, He's not missing his ears, nor are the orange bits his eyes.
-His eyebrows are massive. Better for emoting.
-He does have wings (It'st that's why he's called the crimson FLY). When not in use, they're tucked inside the hole in the back of his hoodie.


The Crimson Fly is not actually the main character of this particular piece. There are a lot of mysteries about him (why are his legs like that? What's under the mask? etc.) that I don't want to reveal yet.  And without that background knowledge, it makes meaningful character development hard. Progress only means something if you have a starting point to judge it from.  So, no, the Fly isn't the main character.  Think of him as more like a guide for the main character's progress.  His (The Fly's) story will come later in the main comic.

So what's next? I'll show you how to draw him!
