ShineCero's Art Bomb

[ShineCero]

This is a new start of my art journey. I wanted to start anew after some self-reflection I want to do. I’m not getting any younger, and I don’t want to spend the days just wasting away daydreaming. Furthermore, I want to practice and bring these ideas to life. This thread is a step I considered motivating myself and trigger my vigor to draw more ideas and concepts.

As of now, I do not do any commissions. Perhaps later in the future, I will, but for now, I want to solely focus on improving my drawing and writing abilities. Aside from Bluesky, this is the only place I will post my content. With that said and done, please enjoy all the content I will post! I want to work super hard to truly capture the drawing abilities I’ve dreamt about. Don’t know how long it will take… but I will get there!

This is a rough draft; I’ll post the finished version tomorrow.

Spina is among one of the first characters I’ve put tons of work on. Started off as an “Black” Goku concept (essentially, Son Goku but black), he went through several transformations in terms of design and character. Most of the time I’ve used him, I always portrayed him as a lot older to showcase his battle scars throughout his life.

Here is one of the first instance of Spina in his younger days. He’s still boorish as level, but he’s more “respectful”. By respectful, I meant that he’s not actively insulting everything in his path.

I grown extremely fond of Spina and eventually included him as one of the protagonists of a story I’m working on: Good Days. He was a wandering mercenary taking on odd jobs to live to the next day. And he’s emotionally stunt—he doesn’t react or feel things as “normal” people would do in a high-tension situation. One concept for the story is that he’s a product of a Destroyer Fruit—a being that was born purely of Destroyer Energy (more on that later in future drawings). For those in Reality Vortex roleplay—in other words, Spina is a Yowl (will use the name to described people born from Destroyers… more on that later in a future drawing). It was a major plot point I was aiming for in that roleplay.

He doesn’t understand love or relationships because of his disconnect with people. So, he comes off as either ignorant or rude (or both at the same time, take your pick). However, there is one person that he greatly respects throughout the story of Good Days. She will be popping up soon.

Gave him freckles because I thought “He seems like a guy that has freckles”.
