Cleo is a character i designed to be easy to draw in my two favourite gel pens, red and black. They're cat who a lives in post-apocalyptic zombie world.

They wear the scarf to cover up that they’re coughing blood, because if other creatures saw the blood, they'd kill them without mercy, assuming that they were in the process of fully turning. If Cleo is wounded, the wounds will eventually stop bleeding, but they will never heal and close up, always leaving brutal red marks on Cleos body.

Not every drawing in this folder will be OF Cleo, but every drawing is related to the universe that Cleo resides in.

Personality

Cleo is an incredibly broken and beaten creature. They feel utterly alone in the world, unable to trust anybody, never showing aggression to anybody they encounter, but always being very vary and distrustful. Despite this, they have an intense ache to be close to and feel loved by somebody. Cleo is generally very quiet and keeps to themself, even in large crowds. They will follow their own beliefs to a fault though, and will always stand up for, and help those in need.

When Drawing Cleo

- When around others that dont know of Cleos condition, they will always have their scarf up, to cover up the blood
- Cleo can never be drawn in anything but Black, red and white, and they dont have a design beyond that
- The traits that distinct Cleo from other characters are the three freckles under their eye, the tear in their ear, the blood around their mouth, red under their eyes, and of course the red scarf
- If there is something inherently dangerous in Cleos world it will always have a red outline around it
- The sky in Cleos world is red and the clouds look like blood stains
- The only time that Cleo doesn't have the red under their eyes, and the blood around their mouth is in their dream realm, where they go whenever they're asleep. In their dream world, they often have wings too.
