OCs: The Adventures of Teddy and Mara: Cyrus Oirellain

This was a test of a set of pens that I didn't end up liking. My friend Syrup had gotten them to look like real markers, and I was psyched to try and do that. Unfortunately, the way I color resulted in it just looking like any other brush. I normally just use the default brush set CSP came with and only download special brushes for chains and repetitive patterns anad whatnot. I like the old watercolor and gouche brushes, though, and use those a lot for backgrounds and stuff. This pen set had a nice blending pen that I really liked, but ultimately I preferred the stuff I already used. This is an older design of Cyrus' with less vibrant colors and a cloak that was a bit more cumbersome for the poor man. Fun Cyrus fact of the day: He first appeared in one of my dreams and often turns up to guide or protect me. It's almost like he's a real guy that I just inserted into the story, honestly. In my dreams he's a shade of blue that's so vibrant I haven't been able to replicate it. I don't think it actually exists, but I'm not sure how my brain could produce a color that isn't real.
