The Assassin of Canopy Kingdom
Its hard to draw Male SG body's... Especially since im better at drawing females. I need to work on that so i could finish up Wesson.
Oh, wait! Like a chello, right?!... I was probably the last one to get that.
This is very much like a good pun. It's both amusing and incredibly painful.from the reddits

I've had this idea for a character and I'm not expecting it to actually get made but I wanna heard some feedback.
The character is a young ruffian on the streets going around with no real purpose eventually running into the Medici family affairs, having ties to Filia (specifically Samson), and a rivalry with Big Band. And his name is........well I couldn't come up with one.... The name could be decided on popular vote
His theme is entirely just about soda, specifically cola. Sporting a Newsboy Cap and based on JoJo, I got the idea from Joseph Joestar
His moves are more or less grappler, but he's entirely a rushdown fighter
I haven't thought of all his moves but one of his supers starts with him popping a cola bottle and at his enemy's stagger, he rushes over then does an ORA ORA ORA but repeats "COLA COLA COLA" or "SODA SODA SODA" To rival Big Band's "Tuba Tuba Tuba" just like DIO's "Muda Muda Muda".
His intro quotes give a better idea what he is. The intro starts with him finishing a bottle then just throwing it right away, littering it.
Vs Valentine
Soda: "My diet? Ahh I just drink soda all day.
Valentine: "How are you alive?!"
Vs Parasoul
Parasoul: "You'll be fine for your littering."
Soda: "Alright I get that but did you have to bring an army?!"
If lost to Parasoul, "Augh, I'll pay the fine."
Vs Filia
Soda: "That voice, you there let me touch your hair!"
Filia: "Ugh, get away from prev!" (Samson hosted more before Filia, so it could relate to Soda)
Vs Big Band
Soda: "Can we quit this show, Ben?"
And this one is entirely just for JoJo. *Soda and Big Band do a clash between "COLA COLA COLA" vs "TUBA TUBA TUBA".
Soda: "It's you, Big Band-o..." (Big Band-o -> Dio Brando)
Big Band: "Time will stop for you, kid. "
Again, I don't plan on him being released, but I'll like to hear what this subreddit thinks of him.
I wouldn't call him a marty stu, but I don't think he's very good either. It's a pretty standard 'orphan turned into ASG weapon' type of story which is isn't really interesting amongst characters, at least in regards to OCs getting their parasites that way. There's also the question of how Lab 0 knew how to replicate and improve the Argus System. Or why for that matter, since it's main purpose is to provide sight and arms, with extra strength, flexibility and lasers as a bonus. The Avery Unit is what allows Peacock to pull off her antics. And how would his fighting differ from Peacock if they have identical capabilities beyond preferences? If you really want to make an evil, better version of another character, he should be a robot since that's the sort of thing Brain Drain would do.
I really don't mind the fact that he is an orphan turned ASG unit, as I think it can make for a great backstory if done right.
My main gripe about this character is that he really doesn't bring anything new to the table. The only thing I can think of when I see this character is "Oh look, it's genderbent Peacock." There really isn't anything about him that makes him a standalone character. I think that Shipwreck would be much better if you decided to take some design liberties and make him more than just a Peacock clone.
I also think that making him stronger than Peacock without any repercussions is a bit overpowered. If memory serves, Peacock is one of the most powerful characters in the Skullgirls canon, so having a character who outclasses her in every way is a bit marty-stu ish. I would suggest either making him less powerful, or give him a weakness to balance him out (i.e. his Alpha system overheats and becomes unusable if he attacks with it for too long).
I hope this criticism helps.

If that's the case, I think her horns should be extended and larger masucles, considering how Scythana looks and can temporarily grow much larger muscles, yet she's only half-Gigan.
Huh, didn't know there was gigan concept art. I wonder what's up with Scythana's horn then. Regardless, she does need a bit of musculature increase, considering what some of these look like.
That definitely sounds more interesting. I think it would make more sense to mount it on his shoulders, unless it does something to his head specifically. I'd also recommend renaming the Alpha System since artificial parasites are usually named after something that's not just a word, like Argus from the Argus System is a hundred-eyed giant in Greek Mythology and the Avery Unit is named after Tex Avery who was a notable cartoonist. Can I also ask you what you think of my OC?
Depends on the purpose of the Bart Unit and Morgan System, along with the Morgan System's purpose. They basically need to link in some way, likehow the Argus System provides sight and the Avery Unit is responsible for pulling things out of nowhere for Peacock.
As long as it's an OC of Skullgirls, it's allowed.We just allowed to post any old OC? I got 2 that are...well one's about as thought out as wizards dueling it out at whatever equivalent of an anime expo this world has, which is nonsensical and don't make sense for the world, the other I actually quite like. Anyway, we just allowed to post these without much context?
There's a problem with the picture.
