glowing eyes hide sadness way better
A character I originally intended to be for the Top Gun universe after re-watching Top Gun:Maverick like 4 times in the theaters with my girlfriend. Though he outgrew only being considered a character living in an rather enclosed universe, so I mixed in some... well, creative aspects as well. It's more symbolic than anything, but still fits his character and backstory a lot. There's some heavy topics regarding his life, especially his childhood and relationship with his parents, but if I find the time to, I'll eventually tackle "fake screenshot" artworks with scenes from his early life :-)
