Ok this may seem a bit weird but uhh...
I wanna draw Hudson and uhh, not to seem rude but your art style is kinda hard to translate...
Plus I don't know his lore that well...
Could you give me maybe a like, full body picture of Hudson..? I guess..?
(and maybe how to get his lore/some of his lore..?)
I don't know how to ask for this... T-T
Yeahh, I've been told that a lot :P
It's not weird that you want to draw him! It's nice to see someone interested in him as I put a lot of work into working on his character.
Lore (but shortened as much as possible):
Simple introduction:
Hudson Hendriks is a young man who was about 17/18 years old when hired. He's 5'5 (when hired) and was first just a wistful nostalgic writer who was insecure of what made him "him". (Ex: accent, height, etc)
Hudson worked in the Writing department (hired somewhere in the late 30's) from Toronto (Canada). He was offered the job by a friend and decided to take up that offer so he wouldn't waste his talents and enlist in the Air Force (like most of his family.)
Hudson was one of the many victims of ink poisoning, which was his downfall.
He started hearing things, skipping meals/proper rest and developed an unhealthy short fuse with himself and his fellow writers. This short fuse even grow to be a full on fight with a Gent Employee later on. It went terribly and Hudson was almost fired due to him breaking the employee's nose. He was spared, but did get a permanent record.
He was mocked by his fellow peers due to his newly founded paranoid behaviour and this led Hudson seeking refuge anywhere BUT the writing department (avoiding bullying and concern)
He kept further isolating himself and grew an unhealthy habit of seeing his work as "not good enough" or "could be better".
Finally, he had made plans to head back home and enlist in RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force). He was once an Air Cadet, a boy scout and with his ties in the family..this decision wasn't all that surprising.
He decided to fight in WW2.
In his last month of working for/in the studio, he had begun to uncover what had been happening in the couple of YEARs of working there. To the ink machine, experiments, financial issues, the IRS, etc.
In his third week, he was unfortunately caught by Joey.
Joey would then try and see how much Hudson actually knew, while Hudson would just play dumb or be uncooperative.
He was then tortured by a blade Joey had and would die to multiple injuries and horrific blood loss.
Instead of placing Hudson in the machine, Joey had decided to hide his body near the elevator shaft and block it off to the public (even Gent). Due to these complications, Hudson was never a lost one or toon.
Instead, he became a violent and bitter spirit, mostly haunting the elevators and was later blamed for causing them to suddenly drop.
Even when people were in there.
(This was not short, my apologies. Some of this info has been changed, so apologies to my moots who might be like: Wait what..)
