I was tagged by @tj-dragonblade to list 5 comfort characters! 💖 (a while ago but I was on holiday and felt like doodling my list)

  1. Gerry from The Magnus Archives
  2. Matsu from Saraiya Goyou
  3. Caduceus from Critical Role
  4. Masa from Saraiya Goyou
  5. Yamato from Naruto

I felt like practising expressions and somehow decided to draw them all on a no good, very bad day lol (and only when I was close to finishing colouring them did I realise how ironic it is that I drew my comfort characters unhappy – sorry my dudes I love you very much)

Digitally coloured grey pencil sketches of (from left to right) Gerard Keay from the Magnus Archives, Matsukichi from House of Five Leaves, Caduceus Clay from Critical Role, Akitsu Masanosuke from House of Five Leaves and Yamato from Naruto. They are all shown from the neck up, facing the same direction in three quarter's view. All of them look a variation of unhappy. Gerry and Matsu both look annoyed, but Gerry looks very tired and like he's actively telling someone off (likely while giving them useful information), while Matsu just gives a gruff and/or sharp comment. Caduceus is just really very tired and trying to stay positive, but his brain is just playing hotel elevator music. Masa looks like someone just said something very hurtful to him and he's trying to hold in his tears. (It was probably Matsu's gruff and/or sharp comment.) And Yamato looks like he's had a long day leading a team of teenagers and he's watching them lose their minds (again) for one reason or another, while debating with himself whether or not it's worth intervening.ALT
