Fun fact: the one year anniversary of my first ShowTime drawing was four days ago at the time of me writing this!

This is the first piece in a series of character design drawings that I'm going to do where I make full on drawings of character designs of mine that I drew during Inktober this year. I came up with all sorts of wild ideas and I'd like to explore their looks to their fullest, so that's what I'm gonna do!

So here's ShowTime: everyone's favorite Elizabethan actor-turned-clock-based-actor-cyborg-dude!

Now, I know that I drew ShowTime long before I ever did Inktober - see the anniversary fact from earlier in this description - but I did draw ShowTime for day 14, and I've been wanting to revisit the design for quite some time now, so I figured that now was a good time to give it another go.

Alot about this design has changed; the shapes of the clock hands coming out of his back are simpler, his overcoat is now longer, his head now floats above his torso like magic, he has floating eyebrows now, the coat tail on the undershirt is now gone (though that was unintentional), and his belt is now stylized like a wristwatch. The color scheme has also been completely overhauled, with darker colors all around.

It's very interesting to compare this to my first ShowTime piece and the Inktober piece. ShowTime's design is almost a metaphorical representation of how far my art capabilities have come in the past year that I've spent drawing art. I've learned alot and certainly gotten better, but I still have much to learn.

I'm very pleased with how this came out! It always feels good to make a full piece like this that isn't a simple sketch or doodle and that actually took a fair amount of time to make. I wanted to improve the ShowTime design above all else, and I feel like I did just that.

Any and all constructive criticism is strongly appreciated!

P.S. In case anyone asks, that bend in the screen on his face is intentional. I put that there to make him look more expressive, though I will admit that it just looks plain weird.
