Holy crap, I did it! I actually drew a male! XP
I never really was confident enough to finish sketches of males because they always looked crappy in the end. But despite that, Blain and Terry play a huge role in Ceylan's story and their designs are described in the story but never was there ever a serious attempt at drawing them out. I figured it was time to change things so I grabbed every anatomical book I have, all the tutorials found on the internet and came up with this. I think it looks decent but there are several things that need improvement so I’ll work on that in future pictures of him.
So I suppose a little bit of info about him is in order.
Background info:
“His real name is Dominic Rodriguez but everyone knows him as Blain. This is because he used to make up super heroes back when he was a little cub and needed a unique name for one of his characters. He came up with the name Blaine until he found out that it is an actual name. In ways of originality, he simply removed the E. Often played around pretending he was that particular super hero, he also started to introduce himself as Blain to others, to which many people mistook for his real name. Even his family started to name him Blain, a nickname that stayed with those closest to him up ‘till this day. Ceylan didn’t even knew his real name until many years later.
Blain and Ceylan have known each other for well over fourteen years. Living next door, they practically hang around almost every day. Blain never had many friends. He was short, fat and “weird” according to all the other kids. Ceylan migrated to Renaria once the civil war was over and she had a hard time settling in, mostly because of the language barrier. Other kids seemed to ignore her presence but once Blain started to talk to her and commented on her funny accent, the two of them became friends real quick and were inseparable ever since. Blain got bullied by a group of kids for being “weird” and it didn’t took long before Ceylan became a target of them as well. It caused them to grow a lot more closer then they already were.
As time passed on, Blain got struck by puberty and started to grow a lot more taller. He wanted to make a change for himself and that’s when Blain and Ceylan signed up for Tae Kwon Do lessons. They often sparred against each other but usually ended with them arsing around and having fun. The two of them have no secrets nor do they judge one another for the things that happened. Blain was the first to learn of Ceylan’s bi-sexuality but was rather indifferent about it. It eventually led Blain to have feelings towards Ceylan but she claimed the feelings were not mutual, putting Blain in the friend-zone ever since. Because of Ceylan’s closed nature, Blain never really was able to determine whether or not she had feelings for him. Bring up the subject and it’ll bring a smile on her face but other than that, not much else is known. To make things not complicated between them, they simply agreed on staying friends ever since but Ceylan still wonders what those feelings meant whenever she’s with him…
Blain joined the National Armed Forces at the age of 17 but about a year later, a war broke out in Sercia and two years later, was deployed to serve active duty in Sercia. He was supposed to stay only for six months but came back two years later. Ceylan noticed he changed ever since he came back. Reluctant at first, Blain didn’t want to talk about it but eventually did, sharing his story. Ceylan knew what he was going through seeing she has experienced a war herself and stayed with him, like he once did for her. They were helping each other out by staying together and keeping each other distracted by having fun in order to deal with the things that happened. He does have his setbacks every now and then but they are there for each other whenever they need it. It only made them grow closer together and no one will ever be able to come in between their friendship.
Blain is rarely serious and often jokes around. Being obsessed with sex and blames it on puberty because he’s not “relationship material”. Often jokes about Ceylan being a “butch” even though she doesn’t know what it is. Blain makes crude jokes about Ceylan’s appearance, like her small breasts “that can hardly fill a cup of coffee”. Ceylan doesn’t mind these kind of jokes, seeing as she always make fun of him as well. It’s all in good fun and they never do this behind each other’s back to make the other one look bad. The two of them have a lot in common, including girls. They can be very crass about it, talking about love and sex “the way that guys do” and usually ends with them laughing. But Blain can also be serious about it, making Ceylan feel that he’s the only one she can truly be herself around. The two of them are also known to be each other’s “wingman” whenever they’re flirting with a girl.”
So there you have it. Hope you like it! =3
