I'm making an Axel HA, as you can see, and I'm looking for suggestions on what items could make him look better.
Also, I'm looking for foregrounds or backgrounds with fire in them. Not purple or blue fire, but just regular fire I guess xD
Please ping me! I'd love the help :)
Cracks knuckles
I was actually surprised how few fire-y backdrops I found while looking. There's or which are somewhat fire looking, or if you're not 100% in love with the fire idea there's , which looks very Kingdom Hearts-ey to me.
For hair, I think by far your best option is , but I like providing unnecessary amounts of options, so and . The is basically the perfect shade for his eyes, just layer it over top of something with grumpy eyebrows! :D (I went with the default eye style "sway" which I think nailed his look pretty well)
One of the hardest parts was the coat. In the end, I just stuck a bunch of things together to see what might work. You'd think would be the best, but the hood clashes with his hair something awful. Some combination of these is probably your best bet, but I couldn't figure out a perfect one.
Also hard: His tear tattoos. It's such an oddly specific thing, it's unlikely that there would be anything closely resembling it, but there's no tear tattoos at all (that I could find). So here's the alternatives I whipped up. Again, some combination of these might work best, but you're looking at buying extra layers at that point. The melody compact is probably my favorite.
Any set of basic black gloves is probably fine. (Though admittedly, I can't seem to find any that aren't ludicrously expensive.) and one of depending how fancy you wanna get. (It's not like the shoes are a focal point of the character design or anything.)
Finally, if you do end up going the extra layers route, I think the very closely resembles his smirk. (If not, both the "'lil smile" and "smirk" defaults work fine, IMO.) Bonus: Because it makes me giggle.
Phew! Okay, done! Hope that helped, and sorry for the ginormous post. @-@
