In honor of sticking to this blog thing for a month, I decided to do the narcissistic thing and draw myself...kind of. This little guy was how I drew myself back in high school and refer to him as Domino to avoid confusion with how I draw myself nowadays.
Domino is basically the main protagonist of [Sketchpad] and I was waiting to draw him before I explained the basic plot of the show. Essentially, JD (Domino) found a magic sketchbook that somehow transports him to an alternate universe where every doodle he's ever created is a living person and inhabit their own world, dubbed Toonworld. For some reason (still not sure why but I'm thinking it's to cover up the fact that he unintentionally created the toon universe) JD took up the moniker "Domino" so all the toons refer to him as such. Throughout the course of [Sketchpad], Domino hops between the real world, full of teen drama and friend shenanigans and the toon world, where he and his gang (Mog, Tasuri, Mr. Lightning, Jeff, JD Bear and Rocky) are regarded as heroes for fighting monsters and supervillains.
Personality-wise, I try to make Domino his own person and not base a lot of him on myself. Domino is, in his essence, an eccentric, sarcastic idiot. He makes decisions based on impulse and will say a lot of things without thinking about it. Domino can come across as kind of a jerk sometimes but his heart's in the right place most of the time. While in the real world, he spends most of his time with his friends Ben, Ariel and the newest addition to their group, Beth. They do a lot of typical teenage things: hang out, play video games, shoot people with a potato gun from the roof. He constantly tries to appoint himself as group leader, despite being told otherwise several times.
I'm still working out everything about him but I think that gets the point across. For the next few days, I think I'll do some of the more important human characters of [Sketchpad].
