Rosie

2024 | Mixed Media [ink, pencil, paint marker, Krita]

Rosie is a badger-boar who jockeys the Heracles II. After the crew he used to run with was torn apart thanks to a gig that went sideways, he’s left to keep that flame alive by becoming the new captain of GraveRaisers, assembling a new crew, and find/rescue his old crewmates at any cost.

Rosie deeply values loyalty and respect, sees his crewmates as close siblings or family members, isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, and expects those around him to toil as hard as he does to get the job done. However, he’s also prone to getting stuck in his ways, is adverse to change, and can be overly dogmatic about the traditions within the underground culture of meat-mech manning syout he has dedicated much of his life to.

I was gifted a cheap sketchbook towards the end of 2023, and I gotta admit its pretty liberating having a paper and pen playground to scrawl whatever comes to mind without worrying about stuff looking tidy.
