Just a speculative drawing on what Kidd would look like without his obsession with Symmetry...which is why I made the character look as asymmetrical as I could. Actually had a lot of fun designing the cape and the entire outfit ; and because the series is so heavily based on fantasy, the imagination could run a little off tangent.---------------------------------------------------------------
Anxiety attacks are still coming, and generally feeling dissatisfied with...well, there isn't really a non-pompous way of putting it....other people. I'm sick of the inconsiderate behaviour seen everywhere in Hong Kong (cell phones are the bane of my life, especially in bookstores and cinemas), sick of the fact that the city doesn't resemble the Hong Kong I grew up in. The place feels so foreign now, with its slew of mini-malls everywhere and tourists charging down the streets. I don't exactly hate the city, just that I'm feeling less attached to it every day.
Most young people don't always treat the elderly with respect (e.g. not giving up their seats on public transport and at coffee houses), children are shouting at their Filipino helpers (obviously power-tripping on the fact that their parents are the employers...carry your own damn backpack, you brat), other people walking right into you and not apologizing for courtesy's sake, and people not even caring about the city itself. Not saying that 'caring' should equate 'following the cheesy-as-hell PSA commercials issued by the government', but just to be aware of things happening all around, and not let the government's vision of the city overpower the public's opinions of what Hong Kong should look like in a decade or two. Right now, I'm predicting.....mini-malls and pseudo-cultural centres all around, sprinkled with high end shops at every street corner, with the entire city having as much character as....an airport overladen with duty-free shops. Delightful.
