7/15/2017: Last-minute poncho design tweaks.

ASDFJKLGHJGLHL THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO FINISH HOLY SHITTTTT.

Welp, here it is. The first of four main-character reference sheets for my planned Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath fancomic (I would call it a fan-sequel if that didn’t sound so goddamn pretentious). Why am I wasting my time and energy making a ref sheet for a canon character who already has a massive amount of concept art/rendered art/screencaps to use as references instead? Well, in addition to me just being a giant fuckin’ weirdo, Stranger is going to have a sort of "gone native" look in addition to his first in-game outfit, since he doesn’t exactly need to hide his identity around the Grubb. Also, I wanted to make myself a standard for keeping these characters looking consistent in my style. Steef faces are hard, yo.

I’ll be doing more concepts/ref sheets for this fancomic as it progresses, and I’ll eventually set up a side-blog for it on my tumblr ( fennecfyre-draws.tumblr.com/ ). Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s 3 AM and I’m going to go sleep forever.

Edit 5/20/2016: Changed Stranger's crossbow from a double-shot to a single-shot. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how impossible and hard to draw firing a double-barred crossbow actually is. And in the cutscenes, it actually only has one slot. In-game, the two slots are actually more like mini catapults than a crossbow.

xD Supposedly, the dev team originally planned for him to be able to use his rancid breath to interrogate information out of criminals.

Funny you should say that because there's a concept drawing of him actually doing what you said

ERMIGAWD.

I'm super, super excited to see that you're doing a Stranger's Wrath comic! I'll certainly be looking forward to that, and well done on wonderfully capturing the incredibly hard anatomy that is a steefs.

Eeee, thanks! I'm aiming to start before summer ends. The plot is more or less done, I just need to refine the ending chapters. Transcripting and thumbnailing the pages won't take nearly as long as the writing the plot has xD I'm also going to be making more ref sheets (I'm currently doing Sekto's "new" design. >: D He's going to need another host body of course)

Sure thing stranger Oh man, you have me excited to see what Sekto's new host is, not to mention how the conflict between him and our favorite steef will play out . It will be awesome, I'm sure.

   THERE HE IS! DERE HE ISSS! DEREEEIZZZZ!

Hot dang, other-version-of-me ( still not over that lmfao) this is super cool. It's nice to see you are keeping a theme going with your references on this project...it suits it so well. Both the native and industrial parts of the game had that sepia, musty feel to it so it fits nicely. I love how it's out together, the colours, textures. It's nice because it all blends nicely without actually blending. (Example, the text is clear and stands out from the background.) 


Stranger looks smoking hot too. It's nice you added both designs. One thing that always made me wonder in SW is what happened to Strangers clothes after they got stolen. (U no after he was tied up and stripped??? U no what part I mean?? HeHAAAAAA) Like, they could easily make a sequel where industrial parts are still a thing as the Grubbs could still have his boots, poncho and hat. :-\ That would be swell. I'm mumbling now shit sorry But YEAH!! I like he still got the original gear! +the mask he wears...MMMMWAHHH, I think the exact same! It's just one of a few ways he can hide! Especially if hunters return and can point out steef features. I like the little headcanon part about his poncho being made from scrab's leather. Nice little detail there. Steefs are so fucking hideous in terms of anatomy but, it looks pretty good here. Altogether, it's a nice little reference for the fic! Bet it looks sweet next to Rahna's.


DAMN BANG SHABAM, Seeing this makes me want to redraw my SW FC again. Thanx a bunch now i gotta art

Yeah, getting the colors to play nice was a pain in the patoot and I'm still not sure I got Stranger's fur colors right >_< I do think that muted green accents suit him, though, and it'll be a nice contrast Rahna's more reddish tones. 

And ehehehe yeah I had fun drawing him. I always assumed the Grubb still had his industrial stuff, they just had better armor to give him instead (and a dramatic costume change fit the game's tone shift, I think). His native gear is scrab leather, but I always wondered if his industrial poncho was made of shaped wood or something, since in the high-quality rendered art it looks pretty rigid. Might just be just hardened leather, though. And UGH YES I LOVE THEIR DESIGN BUT IT MAKES NO SENSE. I bet elderly steef have back problems out the wazoo with how curved their spines are.

Yes, you should do SW art! There is never enough Oddworld fanart >

FennecFyre In reply to damenster [2016-05-15 15:01:08 +0000 UTC]

Yep. Stranger is part of a species called the steef, they're basically lion-faced centaurs with giant ram horns (though Stranger either had his sawed off or never had them in the first place). However, they're also hunted as trophies, to the point that they've basically gone extinct. To avoid sharing that fate, Stranger hides in plain sight by binding his legs together and wearing pants and boots to hide them. Steef aren't regarded as sentient beings by most races, so they usually just assume he's some unknown species.
