Original Description:
I don’t think my neck could have handled a physical ink Inktober (my desk set up is much better for my tablet vs my sketchbook), so I settled for trying to push some comfort zones with lighting and coloring digitally instead. I expected it to be a bit of a shitshow since I haven’t done 2D art since the end of July, but it… came out really cool in my opinion?? I had a fun time with this one. :D
Copper’s canon abilities are loosely based off the whole ‘gorgon’s gaze can turn you to stone’ thing, so for my species shuffle AU I made that more literal and turned them into a void gorgon, haha. I STILL need to write out descriptions and strengths & weaknesses of their canon anomalies someday..
They DO have a face, but they can do weird chameleon stuff where, instead of just the color of their skin changing, they can pull some eldritch BS and become a visually incomprehensible void. I can get away with that because species shuffle is more fantasy and paranormal-angled while canon is sci-fi and quasi-science-angled. :p
