Hello. :)
Today, I have done a few things.
1. I added soot to Joseph's coat.
2. I sketched out an idea of where I want the SCBA unit to go. I will move the flashlight and pen holder to make it work. :)
3. I sketched  Hurricane128's sealman, Captain Brody (finally)! It took me a few tries to get a face shape that I was satisfied with. His (canon) beard shape really does frame his face well, and it was nice to get the form right. The angular trim really did help out with that.
4. Some comments:
-I may or may not continue to play with his expression. His eyebrows were fun to move around to try a different mood. I do like how I made his blind eye slightly lifted due to his smile. It gives it a bit more liveliness. :)
-His colors are (pretty much) the exact same on his canon reference. I did a little bit of adjustment based on Joseph's skintone and my own style (i.e. I did some basic shading around his eyes).
-His hair is going to need some work. In his reference, it seems backswept; however, I'm not satisfied with my current sketch idea of it. IDK it doesn't seem right to me on the back of his head. Also, I have never colored/drawn dyed hair, so making the blue blend "properly" will be new to me. That being said, unless you go for ultra-specific, realistic hair that "shows its natural colors at the roots," it might be completely fine to just blur it like I did here lol.
-I am not very definite on the idea for the pose yet. While it might be OK to do the same pose in his reference, IDK if that will be too...boring, I guess? I'm thinking of going for another flexing pose to mirror Joseph, though I'm not sure what Brody's other arm should be doing. For a radical concept, maybe he could also be standing up on a box???
-Thankfully, Brody Kahurangi has a canon outfit that I can just use for his base clothing. :)
His other layer(s) might be a diving suit of some sort. :)

Please enjoy. :)
