Rush Roger - Design History and my growth as an artist because of it
A Thread 🧵

Comments

I have a very funny design process that started with Rush. I would make cool sounding names and try to make characters to match the name
While this isn't the earliest Rush Roger art... this is the farthest back that I archived
This was from 2015

Ever since then, I was constantly drawing Rush and building up a world in my head

I started experimenting alot with textures and colors around that time
The characters didn't have a set color palette yet

Around 2020 I started using "Pingsley" as my online handle
While I didnt post anything on any social media yet, I wanted something unique for ppl to call me eventually
I also started to get alot better with the software I was using to draw (Clip Studio Paint)

At this point I had an established cast of characters
Rush Roger
Volt
B.B.Gun
Setsugo
Ash (Anti-Rush)

Sooner or later, I started entertaining the thought of a redesign
The Rush Roger design was so iconic to me BUT I was feeling limited due to the story I was working on for it not making sense for these types of character designs

Rush Roger Neo was like a megaman X type of thing

I love this comic art style! What comics inspired these? 🤩

In 2019, I started doing digital art, and of course the first character I drew was Rush
