Finally finished the whole set with Archie the golden lab. Not a lot is known about this guy at the moment, partly because he's a bit more detached from The Pillagers due to the fact he's in two other bands. He's just a guy who likes to fit as much drumming into his schedule as possible. Perhaps because of this, he's pretty zen.
I usually use a 3D model to help with drawing drums, the one I used for Archie's drumkit is by Carol-Ann on Sketchfab!
Archie's design was probably the least changed from the original stoyboards, except that I thinned his 'eyebrows' from Resetti level bushiness to just a thin line that aren't really his eyebrows anymore, more just the top of his eyes (evidence that if I made Spawn today Bernard would not have his massive old man anime eyebrows... they're so cursed but he looks so wrong without them vdsfb). I very nearly changed him to be female because he has really intense butch vibes to me but realistically Joel would never let a woman be in his band so I'm retooling that idea into a possible sister character who is also a drummer and who maybe is also in some of the the same bands Archie is in by virtue of them secretly switching out.
This guy's personality really isn't developed that much yet but I have ideas for him relating to other characters. Currently he's sort of a quiet, gentle giant with a respectful rival with Sly and who gets on relatively well with Rogelio, though his passive nature means he doesn't really take many of the issues in the band very seriously (To begin with). He's a sort of dozy character who takes a while to notice/catch onto things.

Tammy
All I want to hear is her paws padding on the floor
To see the jumps of excitement she has when she greats you at the door
Feeling her place her chin on your knee to get your attention
Her standing half on the couch and half on the floor to get some much needed hugs
Playing tug of war with her blanket but then tucking in in her collar to look like a cape
Asking for a paw and calling her a clever girl while she munches on a treat
Taking her for walks and end up racing through the fields
The beach is her favourite place, the sand, the sea and loads of sticks that she can play with
A good scratch behind the ear always made her day
Giving her a brush outside as she sits in the sun
Chasing her down the street cause she thinks it鈥檚 a game
Telling her all your secrets, she鈥檚 never one to judge
Belly rubs, neck scratches and head pats
She loves giving you kisses and cuddling in
Play fighting in the living room gets her all wound up and hyper
Walking through the woods and her leading the way, it鈥檚 always and adventure
She鈥檚 a clever girl but as she鈥檚 got older she forgot some of her tricks
The jumps are smaller, the tug of war doesn鈥檛 last as long and the walks are shorter but she鈥檚 still my puppy girl
Her tail still wags at everything, she is always standing behind you when you are cooking and she still gets excited for walks
But eventually she gets too old, she struggles to get up, her eyesight is going and the vet told us that she probably got dementia
She鈥檚 held on as long as she could but now it鈥檚 time for her next adventure
They day comes and we all have sad faces
She knows that something is wrong, given her so many treats cause she鈥檚 been such a good girl
The car is scary for her in her old age so we try to make her as comfortable as possible
Let her sniff the grass and trees in the car park before going in the vets
Straight through the doors and into a private room, looks of sympathy from them
Getting her settled in the room and giving her more treats
Her head laying in my lap for the last time
Stroking her soft ears and whispering I love yous
Hugging her tight for the last time
Then going home to a place that no longer feels like home cause she鈥檚 not there
I鈥檒l never forget her big brown eyes, golden fur and playful nature
She鈥檚 up in stars now, watching over us all
