Aiko (True Love)

This piece came about thanks to the first ever art contest I entered from the Youtuber Slew. For this contest, the shape was the challenge and we were to create a character that was in this exact shape. Slew had a wood panel in the shape of one of his popular characters and we were basically competing for the panel to bring our characters to life. I created this kinda creepy dude inspired by another Youtube Artist, Ten Hundred, and while I didn’t win anything, my guy did get a feature on Slew’s channel which was cool! The kanji on his hoodie says Aiko which loosely means True Love. While he is definitely odd, I do love him so much!
