-Malic Boarman – Your College Friend-

Malic is the kind of character who looks larger than life at first glance—broad shoulders, a heavy build, tusks that show his boar heritage. But the moment you notice the shy smile behind his glasses, you realize he’s not intimidating at all. He’s warm, approachable, and just a little awkward in the best way.

I created Malic to capture that unique balance between strength and softness: the heavy arms and wide back of someone powerful, paired with the wholesome, geeky energy of a college otaku who spends late nights surrounded by posters, snacks, and glowing monitors. His design grew out of a process of refining proportions, adjusting head size, adding glasses, and carefully balancing muscle with a solid “power-belly” so he feels mature, but still cozy and relatable.

What Malic transmits above all is comfort. He’s the kind of friend you’d hang out with in a messy room, sharing plush toys and late-night anime marathons. Someone who looks imposing at first, but becomes unforgettable once you see the warmth in his eyes.

P.S. I’d love to hear your comments and suggestions! If you feel Malic could be improved in any way—whether it’s design, story, or vibe—don’t hesitate to share your thoughts. Every bit of feedback helps him grow.
