Description

The boy! Is done! Also 11 years late but whatever!

Unlike Kailani, I actually tried to create Federico references in the past on at least 3 different occasions. Each time I ended up never finishing them. This ref was primarily funded via the lovely patrons on my Patreon !


~*~CHECK OUT THE WEBCOMIC HERE!~*~


His wife:




Much like Kailani's ref, I'll keep his info more generalized since he's in the comic frequently.


Personality:

Federico is quiet and aloof, not revealing too much about himself to anyone. He comes across very level-headed and calm and is an exceptionally good listener. In fact, he would choose to not speak at all if he really had a choice. When he does speak, he is typically either to-the-point or strangely vague, depending on what is being asked of him. He can be seen occasionally being bothered by things, but he tends to bear restraint to do nothing more than retort with some passive-aggressive comment. Despite his typical stoic exterior, he does hold a lot of uncertainties and can lean to nervousness, which he usually tries to hide.


Bio:

Federico is an immigrant to Prodigus of Ambivia and has been a legal citizen for several decades. He is note-worthy for being appointed Royal status after impressing the late Queen Vilthuril with his skill sets in technology and engineering, as well as his general intelligence and perseverance. Federico's childhood/life before Ambivia is not something he often discusses. He was born with the condition Pituitary Gigantism, which resulted in excessive growth and height in his youth. The condition was controlled for a brief time before once again causing excessive growth when left untreated, which ultimately caused him to become twice the size his species typically would be. The condition has caused several health issues and is just generally a tedious daily burden, but he is accustomed to it at this point in his life and merely accepts it.


Other:

His species, Sheski, are actually vaguely based on snakes, which explains some of his features and habits (he will flick out his tongue sometimes like a snake would).

It IS possible for him to walk without a cane, and he may do so when in certain public settings, but it's very hard for him to keep his balance without them.

I pronounce his name "Feh-dare-ick-oh" because I was an idiot child and now I can't read it any other way.

His voice would canonically be unnaturally deep and distorted, which is a side effect individuals with Gigantism have. However, I will also accept something that sounds like Cobra Bubbles from Lilo & Stitch as a valid voice mmhmm totes.

He is an Aromantic Asexual.


Artist Notes:

Note he LACKS A TAIL and does NOT have fur (a very common misconception). His skin is the texture of a scaleless snake.

Note that old artwork of him (including in Ch.1) is outdated in many ways (I used to draw his horns straight, as example) so please refer to THIS reference for his accurate model.

The cane patterns can be literally anything so long as they're floral! I used to use a floral pattern and just paste it in, now I use Clip Studio brushes (some are default in the Patterns tool and don't require downloading anything).

He ONLY wears the red "armor" when attending fancy events, and even then he may forgo it depending on the circumstances.

It is very-very-very important that his clothing cover everything except his hands and head. He does NOT want any excess skin to show and currently what he looks like without his clothing is a WIP. I say this because I used to draw him without shirts or sleeveless in miscellaneous art, but what was shown is outdated now.

Another fantastic ref sheet. I really like his middle alternate outfit!
But it makes me wonder, did any of the participants have a familial wedding ceremony after officially meeting their new mates?
(I suppose that might be too soon to ask, given how much time has passed in-universe!)

They certainly likely did! Celebrations everywhere!! Jacky probably has the best wedding. Whatever... Ambivian weddings are. I totally know the answer. Totally.

Now that I know he can smell with his tongue, I really want Kailani to ask him how her new perfume smells. Then he'd just waggle his tongue around be say 'fine.'

Good, very good!  

(one nitpick / question, he's in his 40s...  But has been on ambivia several decades, That would imply he's been on planet since his toddler years?  I don't know how the citizenship works...)

Now once I finish my other projects, I can translate him into a draconequus! =^w^=

AlfaFilly In reply to tbolt [2019-08-19 07:04:27 +0000 UTC]

OH no no, he's not ACTUALLY 40, all my characters ages (at least in this comic) are human-equals. So he would be considered in his 40's in HUMAN relevance, but his actual years are far far greater. He'd likely be in his late 60's/70's if he went by actual earth years. So it'd be something like 70 sheski years = 40 earth years or something. I don't dwell too deep into specifics because I don't find it particularly relevant, and I don't like putting "he's 60/70" on a ref because then people automatically assume he's a 70 year old aging man when that's not the case lmao so I just go with equals. (I need to write "human equivalent" next to his age like I did with Kailani's ref)

I really appreciate when aliens/other unique species clearly have inspirations from a lot of different earth species, but they’re blended in a way where it’s not immediately obvious. 

Not that anthro animals with marginal features that are just called aliens or like, more unique abstract aliens are bad, far from it (heck I’m super guilty of the former), I’m just saying I see a nice blend of stuff in Federico and by extension the Sheski. For example, I didn’t immediately think of snakes until you brought up the connection with snakes until I read about it in the description here but I still went “Oh huh, that DOES make sense actually” and I like that. Really makes it feel like the species is their own sort of thing. (If I’m making any sense)

AlfaFilly In reply to Bakannon [2019-08-21 19:42:44 +0000 UTC]

I wish I could remember what my thought process was when I designed Federico (like what animals I had in mind) but it’s so long ago I can’t recall! He was called “goat man” for a short time until Chordata took “goat lady” as a title so I stopped referring to him as a goat XD The thought of him/sheski being vaguely snakes was a concept forever ago that I kept dismissing because he didn’t LOOK like a snake but like you said, even just a little influence can still count! Overall he’s really his own entity.

It's so nice to finally see references of these beloved Characters! I can believe it when you said that Frederico's sheet was done several times and never finished. His design is very unique and he's the only *known* Sheski to us. (You may have other Sheski characters in the work but I don't know personally lol.

PS: I'm so happy you've got your love of the comic back. <3 The Comic have been so fun to read.

Thank you!! I'm glad you are enjoying them!

I remember one reference sheet was loooooong because I wanted to really dive into the sheski anatomy. I think I got some stuff sketched and his main body ref done but that was it XD


YES same here <3
