Hermitaday Day #17 - Etho

I know I still have days 10-16 to catch up on but I had to draw Etho. I struggled between going with graphical and semi-painterly but the intuition said painterly. It reminds me of the paintings on the wall from Far Cry 4!

Other variations down below :3

I watched 2 star wars movies in the making of this. Revenge of the sith and Rouge One. I'm going in order of the timeline, which means a New Hope next as I finish the other days!

He is such a fucking freak and I desire him carnally in a platonic way (to study his brain)

Glad that Laios sees his sister show up fused into an unholy monster and says "that is sick as hell though I give this 9/10 for being a bit over designed." Marcille meanwhile seeing the same thing says "booba 🥵"

I love that the character design in Dungeon Meshi is so good that you can identify them by their hands alone. We can tell when Izutsumi joined the group because you can see her little claws and arm guards when she takes Marcille's hand. When the group put Marcille to bed, you can see that it was Chilchuck who put down her bedroll, Senshi who placed her pillow, and Laios who tucked her in based only on their hands and arms in the frame! And then later we see again that Chilchuck was the one who covered Laios with a blanket because of his distinctive gloves! It just so cool!

Loading her spells

okay since it's not a spoiler anymore

it's hilarious that izutsumi went: "come on no one would be excited over beastskin" and the whole party went: "oh no. laios"

like, zero hesitation. marcille doesn't even look at him she just rushes to cover izutsumi. senshi immediately blocks laios sight and chilchuck kicks him (as usual)

and the funniest part is... laios doesn't even understand what happened. he's so confused but accepts it???

"woah it's sure strange that I'm the only one with the blindfold. oh, whatever, I'm just gonna let senshi spoon feed me and won't ask any questions"

hyperfixation sucks I think just a little too hard about a guy who isn't even real and I could start crying any second
