Awful Hospital - Nobody Nose hi-res art + notes
Added 2019-05-31 02:39:08 +0000 UTCSnot is actually the grossest thing in the world to me. I can't stand it, and I can't stand being sick enough to produce it, but that was pretty much my whole childhood; one big continuous war against sinusitis. This is the one Awful Hospital character that would actually distress me to be around, so I made it as distressing as possible to myself. I guess I find noses in general to be the grossest body part and almost wish we didn't have them at all...they've only ever caused me trouble.
Nose was originally imagined as elderly, rather than a child, but I think he makes a lot more sense as a childlike being, and is a whole lot more sympathetic that way.
Organ characters in the series don't typically have facial featurs added to them, and I actually kind of regret doing that here. I feel like Nose shouldn't have the mouth with teeth and that he would simultaneously be both cuter and eerier without them. I don't intend to go back and change him, though, so I rationalize that he's allowed to have a mouth because a nose and mouth are both used to smell with, something that not a lot of people know. Try breathing in through your mouth and nose simultaneously the next time you're trying to smell something!
The glowing yellow eyes, though....I don't know what those would even be.
