Despite my strong political stances, I do not shun people based on their politics. While that leads slight discomfort whenever an artist I admire or an internet mutual makes some silly political point, I prefer that over limiting my entertainment to certain works of literature. I'd estimate that the solid majority of artists ever since 1900 were left-leaning politically. With that being said, this is my fan-art of Arcadia Astrea, one of yggdrysl's characters. Yggdrysl is someone who, I assume, has left-leaning political views, but she is not obnoxious about said views and creates very pretty art. Her current and older art-styles inspire me whenever I design my own characters. Anyways, Arcadia is a main character in her webcomic Limitless. More information about him can be found here and here. He is my favourite Limitless character for several reasons.

Although the space-themed section of his hair is a more solid gradient, I decided it would be an excellent opportunity to use the monochrome shades in MSPaint, since his hair still transitions from a pale blonde to a galaxy aesthetic. I also had to change the secondary colour from pink to a purple since the pink of his space rift blob would overlap with the space-themed pink hair sections. The pale blue dots within his hair are meant to resemble stars. They are difficult to see within the most proximal sections, but they are there.

I tend to draw in the eyes of a character before I cover them with hair, glasses, goggles, or other eye coverings. I think that helps me create appropriate eye-wear and expressions. This is also the first time I drew an ear on a character. Although Arcadia has normal ears, I made his pointed since pointed ears would match with my pointed fingers. If you see a character of mine that has pointed ears, then please don't assume that he is some sort of demon. ^^'
