DrStrangetober Day 4 First Meeting / Marvellous Melvyn
At first, I really didn't like this variant of Doctor Strange. He has a silly smile, as well as his facial expression, although it is clear that this is only part of the job. We are used to seeing this character as a hero, selfish and very proud, even in his worst days, his sense of self-respect, dignity only receded, but did not dissolve completely. The work of a street magician means that he literally has to fool around every day to make people laugh at him and do all sorts of tricks to make them throw some coins into his hat.
Аnd then I heard his silent request "Try me Beyonce" and decided to draw their possible meeting with Сhristine.
Could he simply suppress his pride or did it torment him after work? Аll Stephen Stranges have a good sense of humor, so this variant just allowed himself to joke more often. He subconsciously dreamed of magic all his life, although he knew that in his world there was only a parody of it and still made magic a part of his life. And who but us, all those who at least once dreamed of being a sorcerer, can know how sad it is that it's impossible.
He had to see dreams. Dreams where he flies, and the red cloak behind him flutters in the wind. Dreams in which his magical boots lift him up so high in a jump that he almost flies, and his tail hits his neck when he turns around to hit the monster with his amazing real magic. Nightmares, where two worlds fall on each other because of his fault, and his forces, so incredibly huge, can neither stop it, nor save his beloved woman, who for some reason exists in both universes at once. Or that nightmare where his friends kill him, although he has done nothing wrong, and he feels how atoms are separated from his body and wakes up, breathing heavily and with a pounding heart.
Yes, it is difficult to be Stephen Strange without magic, neither a sorcerer nor a doctor, but only a street magician full of tricks.
It was his egoism and pride that prevented him from being with Christine. This time everything should definitely be different, and perhaps this time the watch on his hand is not just a memory of the lost, but a gift from his beloved wife. While I was drawing, I came up with a story about them, quite detailed, and I hope to draw it one day.
I will continue working on this art later, add some shadows, color it (correct mistakes🙄), and I would be interested to know your thoughts of this version of Stephen Strange.

Who is Marvellous Melvyn?
"A Deleted Doctor Strange Variant.
Marvel costume concept artist Darrell Warner revealed a deleted Doctor Strange variant that never made it into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Warner posted on his personal Instagram a concept piece showcasing a version of Stephen Strange wearing a red fez and pulling a rabbit out of a hat like a classical magician.
The caption revealed that the piece was titled "Marvellous Melvyn" and was done "very early on in the first lockdown" as a part of the "the Scott Derrickson script that subsequently changed with the arrival of Sam Raimi:"
"I am honoured to be amongst such hallowed company and have this Watercolour progress through to be one of the Finalists of the ‘Live Action Feature Character’ at this years Concept Art Association Awards | ‘Marvellous Melvyn’ was a piece I completed very early on in the first lockdown following one aspect/alternative ‘Strange’ universe within the Scott Derrickson script that subsequently changed with the arrival of Sam Raimi | It is quite rare to be allowed to follow one’s intuition as regards to a given character and I need to extend many thanks to the Costume Designer Graham Churchyard for allowing me to develop and produce this concept | All in all it was an absolute joy to complete and so very pleased it has found some recognition"
This "Marvellous Melvyn" is seemingly the same Strange that was mentioned in the Multiverse of Madness by writer Michael Waldron, where Waldron revealed there was once a moment in the script where the characters met a Variant of Doctor Strange named "Melvin Strange, a street magician who was a version of Strange without any magic:”
“…went to a universe and met a character called Melvin Strange, a street magician who was a version of Strange without any magic.”

If you look up "charming" in the dictionary, you'll see that it not only has references to strong attraction, but to spells and magic. Then again, what are liars if not great magicians?

I am what if anon's brother, so instead of just street magician you can call meeeeee
Larry bro!
I'll make another fun thing but tomorrow because i'm tired and i want to go to sleep now
-Larry bro
Larry…bro? Not to be confused with Larry Boy I guess.
I mean, you can call yourself what you want, dude, but going from street magician to Larry bro is not the route I was expecting.
