Mold Ethan - Blog Posts
Watched some third person RE7 gameplay to see the funny animations, talked with @canelablutegel about it a bit and joked about a headless Ethan AU before she told me to turn it into a Lord Ethan AU so uh here we are
It's just a dumb doodle, definitely won't be writing anything for this considering that Mold Ethan already lives rent free in my head but I might draw shit for this AU later ghhhh
Idea behind his design was that he's trying too hard to cling to his humanity and ended up becoming too human in the process. Hands represent humanity and trying to grasp that humanity (as hands are one thing that sets us as humans apart from other organisms), the hand mutations are where Ethan got his shit fucked up in RE7 (not counting the leg since that can be avoided)
Little sneak peek for the next chapter. Chapter 3 isn't the most well-written thing ever and the ending is really nonsensical, so OOF. I'll try to revise the ending a bit but I can't make any promises, so just a heads up that chapter 3 may be a bit disappointing. That's okay though since chapter 4 is where the story starts getting good.
Snippet below
“wHAT THE THUCK?” He ripped his hand away, severing the connection, but he could still feel whatever it was wriggling inside of him, under his skin, up his arm. The sensation was nauseating, enough so that Ethan vomited. Black slime scattered onto the floor in front of him and, oh fuck, that was the stuff from inside the bathtub. He watched his vomit writhe, spreading like rot on a log, and Ethan nearly vomited again.
Holy fuck, that was inside him. It was inside him. He just wanted to get it out, get it all out, purge whatever this was from his system and get it out. Faintly, he heard the laughter of a young girl.
“Who’s there?” Ethan croaked, ebony droplets spilling out from between his teeth with every exhale.
“I didn’t think you’d forget ‘bout me that fast, son.”
Based on a joke conversation I had with @canelablutegel
Sorta realistic doodle of Ethan's eye because I spent this morning watching the mutated Jack boss fight over and over again and thought his eyes looked cool
Alright guys I finally got around to drawing a more realistic version of mold Ethan, weird mold vines and all. Made this just so I can help myself visualize what he would actually look like rather than the simplified cartoony version I've been drawing practically this entire time OOF, I'll probably post an edited version of this on AO3 at some point so readers can also visualize him more realistically too
Keep in mind this isn't what he looks like currently in the story, this is towards the end of the game

Alright, I think I've finally gotten the final design down
Some good news on the fic: I'm around halfway through the story for RE7, so when I finish writing Molded I will probably speed up the update schedule a bit
Updated color reference sheet for Ethan because I don't want to pull up 17 different pictures to draw him anymore
Trying to figure out how to draw this man's jaws
