My WEWY contest entry, finished at the last second, hopefully not too late!

If the name seems familiar, like say, part of my account name, yes, this is a shameless idealized self-insert. I'll just admit that up front. And if you think the character resembles the WEWY character Joshua a bit, then I didn't do a good enough job of not drawing a character like him. Unfortunately, he is eerily similar to the look I'd want to have in that context, even before I heard of the contest, when I saw him, I thought wow, this guy looks so much like the awesome WEWY version of me would. So, when this contest came up, and I could draw any character I wanted, the challenge was designing a self-insert, (so I've been feeling a bit narcissistic lately, and been meaning to make an original avatar, is that a crime?) Anyway, I designed a character that felt like a WEWY me without just making a new Joshua from scratch.

To comment on the character concept, I think the coolest heroes are the ones who can look like villains at times. And I also like characters who go totally 100% in battle, they get those fights done quick. Holding back is for the weak, and those who need to draw fights out for multiple episodes. So, this Donovan character normally is very low-energy, tending to look tired/irratated/bored by default, but not absolutely flat, he can be a bit goofey, or smile, as appropriate for situations. (I should have done some more light-hearted reaction type pics, in retrospect.) But when it's time to fight some monsters, that sleepy look completely disappears and all that energy he usually isn't using goes into hardcore action battling fury. Not a mindless berserk thing, just a focus on crushing all those who oppose him as fast as possible, in order to go back to slacking. Unless the enemy is very weak, then he'll just end it quickly in a lazy fashion. Pretty all-or-nothing.

Oh yeah, he also has cool black/white fire psychic attacks because vaguely defined dark and light powers are the coolest possible attack powers, especially when manifested as stylized flames.
