Description My newest boy, Professor Roger Upton. I drew him too young, he is around 35.
He's Sharlene's big brother. He also has been her legal guardian since she was 8, after their parents died. 
He teaches history at some university. He is one of those really annoying a+ human beings who are always kind and compassionate and patient and hard working.

I've always thought vitiligo looks beautiful. It's very original to use it for a character.

I like his expression here, he looks so friendly. And he's really well drawn, too.

Im glad I finally designed a character with vitiligo, because I too have always thought it looks nice.

Thank you so much!!

Oh, he isnt burnt. He has vitiligo, it is a condition that causes parts of the skin lose color.

You have a talent for drawing black guys, he looks amazing. I luff his face <3

I'm so glad to hear that. Some improvement has happened indeed, I think it is because since I got tablet I've been drawing way more (and ability to sketch same thing 1234567 times without needing to worry about lines showing on paper does wonders XD). Thank youuuuuuu!!

He is actually my first black male OC. I have 3 black women and now one dude ^^ (well you know, of those that I've actually drawn)

I think drawing more often is the best way to improve. And being able to draw often is awesome

You're just pumping out these OCs. I'm so jealous, I've not drawn any of mine in years and haven't had time to create any for even longer!

Bluejotain In reply to kaleidoscope-tattoos [2014-10-13 22:07:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it is probably the only way to improve XD 

I actually just made even newer dude XD I just love designing characters XD ...remembering to actually use them... well XD
You totally need to do something with your characters soon-ish ^^

Vitiliogo isn't something you see much in OCs, you've draw it very realistically and I like the character

Bluejotain In reply to Otterwillow [2014-09-28 17:59:56 +0000 UTC]

It is rather strange it is not. Like people like very unique and rare traits, like mismatching eyecolors a lot. 
Thank you!

Millaista tarinaa sä kirjoitat / piirrät? Jotenkin tämän kuvan vaikutuksesta heräsi mielenkiinto.

Bluejotain In reply to Alusta [2014-09-28 11:20:16 +0000 UTC]

Valitettavasti en minkäänlaista. 
Mun kaikilla hahmoilla on kyllä pitkät pätkät tarinaa, mutta en oikeen tee nillä mitään. Kunhan mietiskelen omaksi ilokseni.

My dad also has vitiligo!  But, he's as white as an Irish man, so, no one notices

Next on the list is character with a prosthetic leg purely because I've seen so many pictures of beautiful leg prostheses
