I'm drawing a comic called Dust & Ashes, read it here: https://t.co/Eg9GqU4rrN

Stylin'

Since I had a solid idea of his general appearance, most sketches were spent trying out details and iconography.

So I started to draw boombox robots, experimenting with shapes. He still had a head on top of the chest at this point, but the audio jacks on his fingers were there early on.

At first I named him 'Rodney'. His style is influenced by first gen bboys and martial arts. I liked his seriousness and complete trust in this small ping pong paddle. Easily underestimated.
