Inky OCtober 6: Bittersweet and Super Teens Sides... Just as good as the main course


      Oops, my venom obsession is showing in this title 😆I have so many side characters but I had thirty one days to draw and I wanted to draw my main characters, some side characters and finish the month off with villains so I had to cut out a lot of side characters from this. I technically drew seven side characters plus a character for a possible spin-off which was enough as it is, imagine that I started listing a good eight side characters from one storyline. Yeah, I had to let go of some people. Maybe next inktober? Ok, so here's half of my inktober sides right here:
  




I started the side characters same way I started the main characters: with Bittersweet. Sora and Saru are Sandra's cousins. Sora is actually Sandra's biological cousin and looks like she could be her sister, so yes, the resemblance was intended here. She's a quiet, observing girl and does her best to keep her adopted sister Saru in check because she doesn't like getting in trouble. Saru, on the other hand, is a troublemaker and trouble just kinda follows her. Sadly the picture I have here of her sucks. I should take a new one. She is my one and only freckled redheaded character, which is rather funny that we associate redheads with freckles but then I go and do this. (P.S. Aidan has freckles, they're just not on his face 😉) The next two characters were kinda hard to think of because um, Super Teens focuses so much on the actual teens but their parents are technically the side characters so I was like "well I'll draw Aidan's mom because she is important to the story in a way". I'm still between naming her Bridget or Eileen, btw, but I do want her maiden name to be Kelly. But my slot for day 23 was empty because I just couldn't think of anyone else to draw... so I drew Aidan's dad Rory O'Neill to make it a package deal. So, Aidan looks like his dad but he did inherit his mom's nose and chin. Pretty much everyone considered Aidan to be his father's son because he is practically the spitting image of his dad but what everyone failed to realize is he has his mom's personality and temperament. Aidan just happens to be a nice combination of his parents, 'k? Creating parents from a character you created is like a dissection because as much as my main boys look like their dads, they have to get something from their mother, you know? They also can't look exactly the same as their dad so I tweak the details to make them different enough. Rory has brown eyes and the straight nose Aidan was supposed to have but somewhere along the way, I changed Aidan to green eyed with an anime nose. To balance it out, Aidan's mom is a brunette (could have been blonde once as a child) with blue eyes. I just like to make my fake families seem as real as possible in an unreal world so I don't look too much like Disney. I actually take real life genetics into account here. Sadly, I have to go to work today and close the store 😩 Thank God I have the weekend, I'll try and wrap up my inktober posts and then I can show you the venom stuff I have come up with because it really has become my new obsession.
