Pencil AND an original character? bit wierd.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So this is from my fantasy comic/universe thing, which i dont think i've ever mention here, so now i'll explain it a bit. It started out when i was about 15 and got this 'how to draw manga' book from art class in school, that explained how to create the standard team of fantasy characters, the hero, the gentle giant, the princess, etc.
So originally i started out with a few characters built on that but in kind of an ironic way, i'm debating starting the story with my main character being found unconscious in the woods, having completely retained all of his memories, stuff like that that subverts some of the conventions you get in alot of fantasy. But in a less pretentious way than i make it sound.
The world itself is based on an alternate version of earth where certain things just developed differently, continents are less spread out, several are merged into one, i'm considering excuses to make civilization a little more advanced than it would have been at the time due to less war, as a result of a shorter ice age, or maybe no ice age, leaving more food supplies, as well as the landscape being a little more accommodating to different tribes and cultures to coexist.
So anyway, this guy has been kicking around for a while, started out as a sort of charming cad/duellist who was only out for himself and fought the heroes, at the moment i'm imagining him as pretty much the same, except perhaps a little effeminate, imagine a cross between a toned down Russel Brand and Spike from buffy. You know, he seems pretty cool but you're always about him snapping and stabbing you up.
The design's far, far from final, but considering the first drawing i made of him, he had no nose, he's come a little way.

Okay i really don't expect you've read any of that, sorry, got a bit carried anyway.
Basically, fancy guy who fucks shit up. Also that waistcoat is mine.
Probably going to work on the classic beautiful elven princess archer next...OR IS SHE?
she's not.
EDIT: Oh hey, forgot i submitted one of my earlier designs from this guy, from when i was about 15/16, here: http://www.sheezyart.com/view/424732/. See, no nose.
