(light nsfw) Salim new ref/redesign WIP

Added 2025-08-18 19:20:06 +0000 UTC

Just like with Ciaran, I've been working on a slight redesign and new ref for my other incubus character Salim (he/him)!

Salim is a character that I've technically had for a long time, but I never made a proper ref for him and haven't drawn much in general, so he's transformed a lot between appearances. I'm still brainstorming some outfits for him - the one pictured is just a "hanging out at home" kind of outfit. I'm still not certain what his sense of style is going to be, but I think it'll be a lot of relaxed fit and activewear type clothes. He's rapidly becoming a masc character that I can project myself on, so I'll probably also draw him in things that I'd wear if I had the self-confidence to do so 😂 (Ciaran is also like that for me tbh.)

I meant to post this WIP last month, but it's been very hectic for me and I got weirdly nervous about having to write up my thoughts, for some reason. I'm trying to shift my focus to sharing more WIPs and more insight into the things I'm working on and how I feel about them. I hope that this approach ends up being enjoyable for you all too (and hoping that it will help me get over my posting anxiety so I can post more often!)
Will be making another general update post once I finish writing that up. Thank you all, as always (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
