A good friend of mine has been trying to get me to participate in an RPG game he's preparing. Having a pretty big imagination and being quite the nerd, I would have been prime RPG material as a teen were I to have had the right friends.
In any case, he's asked me to try and draw my character, which I was very reluctant to do because of my atrocious drawing skills but after many sketches, I finally managed to somewhat put on paper what the character looks like in my head.
Taking place in the Rifts universe (I know nothing about it except that it's supposed to be a dark futuristic setting at the start of the game, a bit like Blade Runner). My character is a small time arms dealer who sells small guns and ammos on the streets of the underworld, and explosives too if he's lucky to get his hand on any. He's got enough street smarts to never get caught during his illegal activities and is kinda paranoid, which is why he's still alive today considering that he gets his wares by stealing them from armed gangs or other dealers. His goal is to somehow earn enough money to get off the street and go into more legal activites, although how legal those would be and if he even runs a chance of making it this far are up to debate.
He's kinda tall but very skinny which is a bit hidden by the coat he's wearing, and he keeps his hair bleached and in a punkish style to appear more badass which doesn't really fool anyone (but then again, his clients on average aren't that smart so it does the job).
And for the real artists on the board, be tolerant! I'm still struggling with basic anatomy and proportions, so anything advanced like expressive faces, shading and coloring and stuff like backgrounds and composition are wayyyyy out of my league
