It's not so unusual for me to go overboard with fanart, but it is unusual for my going-overboard to result in something that I actually consider one of my best pics thus far. Spent quite a bit of time on it, too, but I just had so much fun with it! I couldn't stop tooling with it!



Now, the explanation: earlier today I made a ‘new’ character in preparation for 1.3 (not that I know when it’ll be out, but I figured I’d do it now). Just pure vanity, something to look funny while puttering around early-game with my buddies when the update’s released and we start a new map. The sprite of the character is NOT my property, it's clipped from a screenshot of the game and included for reference and comparison.



I liked the thought of it enough to want to draw it, and inadvertently resulted in something pretty neat (to me, at least). Looking like a simultaneous ripoff of the classic fiend-without-a-face, a headcrab zombie, some kind of necromorph, and basically any large number of gory, horror-themed monsters before it, but really, what can you expect from a small sprite of some weirdo wearing a brain mask and a pink-dyed Alien costume?



Inb4 a bunch of comments comparing this to other things and revealing that they don't read artist comments, lawl.
