Something I've been thinking about for a while, Giving my green goober a sibling, more specifically a brother! so I doodled up this piece of concept art a while back for how I want him to look.
The main idea was that he was more dorky and nerdier than Tobi and tends to mostly outsmart him, the name Dex came from both the word Poindexter and Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, explaining the big glasses... And then I got my hands on the first three Bone comics for Christmas of last year, and I recently got back into Osamu Tezuka's work, so I decided to change up his design at least a little bit.
One change that may be obvious is that his body has a more lighter shade of green, specifically Lime Green (though you probably can't tell due to how the camera quality looks), and the shoes were changed to be a darker shade of red. This might not be the final color palette for him, but I don't wanna stray way to far from how he looks in the original Concept art haha.
I based his expressions more or less off of Fone Bone the main character from Bone and the glasses went from being inspired by Dexter to being more inspired by the Tezuka character, Tamao Ome. Heck the last doodle's pose is taken from the Shakespeare Manga Theatre where Tezuka drew himself dressed as Shakespeare. I might make a proper digital drawing of him some day, heck he'll probably appear in the comics whenever I get back into working on those. Though for now it'll remain a silly idea in my head :P
