I think you're entirely correct that getting unnaturally obsessed with one specific guy character is the key to improving at art. I got so obsessed with specifically Sans Undertale for several years and my art quality skyrocketed because of it. I think this should be dubbed "the guy" phenomenon.

[@SugarbirdyOvO]

@@thecluckster3908 Then that's okay! Just enjoy whatever media you find regardless. Don't stress yourself over finding a 'the guy', in my opinion you can't really deeply adore a character if you stress over finding one. If you find one, then you've found one. And if you haven't, then that's okay. There are other ways to improve, and not everyone is inspired by the same thing. Like me! I love nature, and it inspires me to draw and create nearly as much as Sans does. You don't need a character for you to love something. :]

this is so real. one of the biggest appeals of ethan’s character to me was that at his core, he was just a man who wanted to live with his family-and he’d do ANYTHING to protect them. his story is honestly such a tragedy in the way that he went through so much pain and hardship just to get these glimpses of normalcy, thrown back into it AGAIN, then dies 💀. like bro’s final moments in revillage. that shit was so bittersweet. that part you included of ethan watching rose as a child get to escape, and become a teen actually hit so hard 😭😭

The "Ethan withdrawal" thing was such a hard-hitting callout because I know exactly how that feels.

thank you crumb cuptoast for single handedly giving me the motivation to draw

[@Local_Intruder]

I really like Ethan cuz he's just a random normal guy looking for his wife and ending up in this crazy scenario, and you can tell that he has no damn clue of how to do anything. He doesnt know how to fight, how to shoot with a gun other than point and pull or what to do in situations like this. He wasnt a trained soldier like every other resident evil protags, just a dude trying to survive and protect his family at all costs. This guy does NOT belong in the insane universe that is resident evil, and thats what makes him so special. And yeah he does get training eventually but he's FAR from being a Chris redfield or Leon Kennedy. Literally the only reason he isnt dead is because of the mold. I also think that his humour is like Leon, except instead of sounding cool, his jokes NEVER land. And I like that. Gives him more lost dad vibes.
