#Thadwick Mercer

[biscuitwitchling]

Another prompt from the list on the main blog: I got to "Tower" and could only really think about the tower of the Builder in the Reaper Trial astral space, so good enough excuse to draw my take on Thadwick Mercer!

Design notes! I'm going to call the three versions Normal, Possessed, and Not.

Normal: I know Jason said "Shouldn't your hair be more oily?" but I still wanted to draw him with his hair slicked back. I'm still struggling a bit with Greenstone fashion, but I went with green (opposite the warm colors I like to draw Humphrey in) and a popped collar for extra douchiness.

Possessed: I gave him ashier skin tone and a bit of under-eye shadow since his body is kinda half-dead, but there's still a note about how he looks more handsome without the perpetual sneer. The square pupils and blocky halo aren't described in the book, I just like them.

Not: The energy vampire, which consumed the gold (or maybe diamond) soul that was protecting a sinister sword. I switched his outfit to reds to match the swords, with a slightly more Vertesse style since I figured he'd change from the brown cultist robes to clothes he got from a victim from Emir's crew. As of book 9, he hasn't been seen since book 6, so I still have that mental image of a slightly tragic, overpowered but confused new being with a familiar face.

Prompt 26 is "Tower" and I could only really think about this one setting from He Who Fights With Monsters; the Builder's tower in the Reaper Trial astral space. I figured that was good enough excuse to draw another character fanart, Thadwick Mercer!
