have i talked about charlie's friend alistaire yet? no? okay.
alistaire is @surlifen's character! he's a supervillain and he's very, very gay. and also extremely annoying. charlie absolutely hates him at first, since alistaire finds out his identity by accident and uses it to blackmail him into hanging out - always to do something insane or weird. there's also the tension of charlie being a superhero and alistaire being a supervillain that means he really doesn't want anything to do with this guy. eventually charlie comes around to him (but not before punching him in the face really hard) and decides to give him a chance, realizing that alistaire is the only person who isn't put off by his asshole-ish personality. they quickly become best friends, though this isn't immediately obvious to those around them; they're extremely chaotic and often get into screaming matches or physical fights over stupid stuff, and they fight just as much in costume as out, but they never hurt each other and just as quickly go right back to normal. they might seem like they have completely incompatible personality types - charlie as the take-no-shit, easily irritated angry guy and alistaire as the happy-go-lucky, pushy and annoying guy - but they actually have a lot in common and they get along frighteningly well. in the future they end up living together, though they never date and don't really have any interest in doing so. their friendship is weird, undefinable, and kind of inexplicable, but it works out well for the both of them.
bonus: all the images here were collabs between surli and i! the last image shows them ~6 years in the future from what we call year 0 on the timeline. everything else is set somewhere between year 0 and year 6.

thank you guys for 1500! i'm not sure when i'll get around to posting another video. i'd like to host another 48-hour map since hurt went so well, but i don't know when i'll have the time to manage something like that. it'd be a superhero oc map though! my own superhero ocs are mainly what i'm into right now so i'd really like to include that in a map when i'm able. in the meantime maybe i'll record some speedpaints and post those instead?
here's two bits of charlie art for the meantime! these are both set about six years into the future relative to the canon 'present day'. the first is a doodle i cleaned up because i liked the amount of small character details in it, like the two-finger point, the post-depression haircut, the not-yet-healed lightning scar, and the in-universe hockey team t-shirt. the second is more of the same stuff. i wanted to draw him gaming since that's one of his main hobbies, which i've surprisingly never shown him doing before; i had a lot of fun with the rose tattoos on his legs even though they're kind of a pain to draw :')

the best part about making a world where superheroes with weird powers are real is that other people with weird powers are real too - meaning that completely ridiculous stuff that would be considered 'crack' or 'au' in other settings can actually be completely canon because they can be undone without affecting the timeline in any way. in this case, charlie gets turned into a bird for a day. he absolutely hates it.
he's a ferruginous hawk here - he actually has a tattoo of one across his back, though he has absolutely no idea what that is. he just googled 'cool hawk', found a neat picture he liked, and told the artist "i want that one."
also, i just really like birds! i will give you a random bird fact if you comment asking for one :)

thank you so much for all the nice comments on bones! i'm amazed it's gotten so many views in such a short timespan :D is it silly to want more views on something? maybe! but i want people to look at it because i'm proud of it :)
anyway, i've had a busy past few days so i haven't had time to draw much or i'd have a nice happy doodle to put here. instead here's a future charlie that i did a few weeks ago; this is set about five or six years in the future, shortly after some Traumatic Events occur. during the battle against the 'big bad', he accidentally kills the city's most beloved hero, and the events are framed to make it look like he did it on purpose. all the trust he's built after becoming a hero is torn down almost instantly, as the city is all too willing to believe he's turned back to his former villainous ways...oops! how's that for some fun lore?

here's a comparison from when i first started working on bones in july (and pretty quickly gave up on it) versus a week ago when i picked it back up again! i've been drawing charlie a lot these last few months - i think it's safe to say i understand his face a little better now :)

i'm still deep in the throes of being obsessed with this guy and i'm not sure i ever fully explained who he is? his name is charlie grimms, aka 'the gunslinger', and he's a former villain turned hero - though he's more of an anti-hero than a true superhero. he has the power to shoot energy bullets from his fingertips, but he refuses to use it against anyone and only ever shoots near people, not at them.
as for these three pieces: blue is an au where he never goes down the path of villainy in the first place and is a hero from the get go, and green is the reverse, where he never stops being a villain and actually becomes irredeemable. red is just the normal version. i wanted to do all three in this thick lineart style that i've been playing with lately and i really like the results! they were super fun to work on.
shameless plug for my server dedicated to talking about superhero ocs! there's even an open-world setting called silver city, where a bunch of our characters live and interact. and it's super fun. the server 16+ and open to anyone! if you'd like to join, shoot me a dm - my discord is stanley#4423.
