Ah, my dearest darling Music...you could not avoid my creature-ification beam forever. Honestly I'm surprised you avoided it as long as you did. I was hitting DJ and the DCA with it within a month of them becoming my blorbos.

Though I guess I should clarify, this is my second attempt at this design...the first one came out looking like an animu pretty boy. (I'll post it below the cut for y'all to point and laugh.) I wanted to keep his general shape, though make his head less blocky cuz biological. Funnily enough it was drawing the Smiling Critters Music Man that helped me figure out how to do that without just...making him look human. As for his body, a potbelly + narrow and sloping shoulders I think captures his shape pretty well.

ALSO. Like an octopus, he has no bones. (Except his teeth I guess? I guess octopi have beaks so that kinda tracks I think.) So he's very squishy and leaning against him is like leaning against a bean bag chair unless he deliberately tenses up.

And I draw a quick comic for how he and the reader first encounter each other. The reader, new in town, sees something strange in the water but doesn't get a good look at it before it hides, and then this happens:

FAILURE OF A MEETCUTE. Someday I will have Music and Reader meet in a way that doesn't involve the reader initially mistreating Music...probably.

Don't worry, Reader is actually quite nice to him once they realize he's not a feral kraken trying to swamp their rowboat. And eventually Music will get a smooch on the head to make up for the whap.

And now the result of the creature-ification beam still being partially set to human:

Yeah I got frustrated and abandoned it pretty quick. Probably didn't help that my first attempt at drawing him was in profile. =w=;;
