EDIT: Don’t know how I forgot to include this but while the above character design is by me, this art piece was done by devisopod

Richie is a character of mine who will one day appear in a comic I’m currently working on. To say this comic is my passion project feels like an understatement. The comic has three main installments and Richie is the main protagonist of the second installment

His story deals with some heavy themes centering around identity, war, trauma, and grief. The idea of how to keep living. It is also as you may imagine deeply personal for me.

In an effort not to spoil anyone who might actually read the comic one day I’ll instead drop some random fun facts yippee

• Richie’s favorite color is pink
• Richie’s favorite food is raw drakkon’s brain- a delicacy
• All of Richie’s tattoo’s are made using a mixture of ink and shapeshifter blood. This deepens his connection with his environment. It also makes them glow slightly when his body is under stress
