Description I can't believe I actually had the patience to sit down and do this....seriously! I attempted to do stuff yesterday but I just couldn't sit still and concentrate. @_o

Anyway, I drew this after spending hours on *Tyshea 's page, looking at all of the work she has done on her 'Salad Days' project...soooo addictive I swear! It's about a high school for supernatural students, if you haven't seen it already, I recommend checking it out! *thumbs up*

So, this is Garett, he's a cyclops with a gentle side. He enjoys building things, and often agrees to help out the Design & Technology department...any excuse to get his hands on some wood work. However, he is unnaturally strong for someone of his build, a common trait of his heritage, which does not mix well with his short temper. A number of desks have been broken thanks to his unpredictable outbursts.
At home, Garett has to put up with his patronising older brother, and hard-headed father, both of which contribute to his dislike of socialising. He is also very self-conscious of only having one eye, the sole purpose why he prefers to keep his hair long. Growing up, humans always teased him because of his appearance, and he often got into trouble for lashing out. Now, he would rather stay out of fights, but if someone annoys him enough, he will snap.
Garett harbours a secret fascination for insects, which he is afraid his family will find out about and tease him even more for being soft. In reality, he is a gentle giant of sorts, but if angered, you will see his darker side...well, feel it anyway.

...My first time trying to draw dreadlocks...failed!

So there you have it, my contribution to the Hope you guys like!

Haha, thank you, it was most definitely a challenge to make a cyclops cute, especially since the only image I had in my head was the big fat guy from 'Hercules'

sazzykins In reply to ggg-2 [2009-08-05 21:15:34 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, couldn't you just squish him in a big glomp hug? ...maybe that's just me heh

Thank you, heh, um, he's about 16 I think, in grade 11, and I would say his big brother is 20 *nods* yup.

what a coincidence! i'm 16 too and I start MY junior year in two weeks! and yeah don't you just want to give Garret a big hug? and his love for building things makes sense since according to mythology cyclopes were the first blacksmiths, carpenters, etc

sazzykins In reply to ggg-2 [2009-08-10 17:39:31 +0000 UTC]

Aww awesome, haha, would you freak if he was in your class? XD I hug him all the time *hugs* Yup, I had a brief look at the characteristics of a cyclops to try and make him fit *nods* I also chose that cause they are very strong creatures, and Garett prefers to build rather then smash

Heh, I can't draw bald! *grimaces* Besides, I liked the idea of him trying to hide behind his hair...to be honest, I'm not too sure why I chose dreads...but I think they suit him, definitely! *nods* Thanks for the comment!

Ah man, I like this guy too much. That bigger picture just makes me want to hug him...

I like the idea, especially since I did think of cyclops, but thought I wouldn't be able to pull it off...

I so have to draw him now...

sazzykins In reply to Raire [2008-05-01 17:47:11 +0000 UTC]

Haha thanks very much, and yeah, I know what you mean, he looks so alone. *pats Garett on the head*

I thought about Greek Mythology...and then images of 'Hercules' started going through my head, and that's when I decided to research the cyclops. It was really hard to try and position the eye in the right place I can tell you! *wipes forehead*

I'd love to see your version of a cyclops! Maybe they could be relatives...*grins*

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Raire In reply to sazzykins [2008-05-02 07:21:50 +0000 UTC]

I also thought about Greek Mythology, but decided to go more with Latin American myths, since they are less well known. I already have a character in the making, that I will hopefully have done by tomorrow... my wrist is beginning to hurt.

Oops, its already tomorrow. Heh. *looks around*

Actually, making a relative would be fun. A cousin? How old is Garett, actually, and what grade is he in?
This could be really fun : D *slowly growing smile-to-grin*

sazzykins In reply to Raire [2008-05-03 12:20:12 +0000 UTC]

That's a good idea...not sure I know much about Latin American myths, I'll look forward to seeing your character!

Don't worry, I push back my deadlines all the time! *shifty eyes*

Ack I forgot age and grade! um...I would say he is probably 16, and in grade 11...I'm not used to American grade systems...eh heh heh, hope that adds up right! *nervous laugh*

Raire In reply to sazzykins [2008-05-03 20:31:37 +0000 UTC]

Meh, I don't know much about Latin American myths other then the Aztecs, the Mayas, and the Incas, so I ended up using the Aztec/Maya.

Actually, I kind of finished my character! XD [link]
Way too big a file, probably... ><

Ummm, grade 11 usually has 17 year olds. I know because I am in 11th, and am a year younger (16! Ha!)

I already kind of doodled Garett XD He was showing my character a carving, since I was bored... and procrastinating. The eye is ridiculously hard XD

sazzykins In reply to Raire [2008-05-03 22:32:18 +0000 UTC]

Cool, checked out your character, and you really went to town on details describing her...wow...O.O She is very well thought out!

Well, I decided to look into it, and I found out that students aged 16 - 17 are usually in 11th grade...kind of links with the first year of college in England. *nods* Garett is one of the youngsters!

Awesome, I can't wait to see it! *grins* Haha, I know, the eye is catastrophic to place!

Raire In reply to sazzykins [2008-05-04 04:30:44 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, thanks, what can I say? I love character design, I always have to figure out the quirks and details...

I lived in England actually, for Year 7, only there I was the oldest in the year. XD I cannot remember much about the ages though, although isn't there Sixth Form or something after you finish Year 12? *confusion*

When I get a few more sketches, I'll scan it and put it up. I like your character way too much... XD

Wow, thanks very much! *grin covers face* It means a lot to hear that from you. *bows*

Haha, I'll take your word for it, although I do think they get better in each picture. *shrugs* Aww, cool, I went with the whole, 'wants to hold them but afraid of crushing them' thing due to his strength...so cute and nervous! Thanks again! *salutes*

Nice, I had never thought about how a modern Cyclops would look like.

Off subject, you haven't forgot about your TT pitchers, have you?

sazzykins In reply to Gameman87 [2008-04-17 12:25:17 +0000 UTC]

No that was a rather large challenge I must admit, but fun to try and I personally like the outcome...although, his fashion was kind of inspired by my own...*nervous laugh*

Thanks for the comment, and no I haven't forgotten about the Titans project, haha. It's just that I suddenly got all these ideas that I needed to explore and stuff, and now I've got end of college stuff breathing down my neck. As soon as my coursework is done, I'll have more time, after all, gotta improve some more! *wink*
