VS. MacRoich


"Come and know the overwhelming power of youth!"

---

While I was in Japan the other week, I was playing a lot of Housamo while I was holed up in my hotel and I played through the Battle of the Valentines series of past events. The featured character was Fergus MacRoich, based on the same character from the Irish Ulster Cycle. I was initially kinda iffy about him, as I am with a lot of Housamo characters, but over time I grew to like him. Quite easily my husbando of the month, as Kengo, Kyuma, nor Seth from the event didn't really do much to change my general perception of them as just mere friends of the protagonist. 😎

Despite how almost AR card-ish this looks I'm not actually too pleased with how this has turned out. It's primarily because I was trying to aim for a particular style with this and I didn't seem to nail it all that well. The pose didn't help much either, but I thought I could still make it work. By the time I realized it wasn't doing it for me I had already accomplished so much work on MacRoich's model, and I decided to hope and pray that my landscape would help salvage the whole piece. Thankfully it has, somehow.

After this piece though, I think I won't be letting a picker wheel decide my art fate for a good while. 😅
