Description My original character David, aka "Chubbz".
A doodle I did, but I don't post enough stuff in my featured gallery, so this won't be scrapped just yet.
You: "The picture's really dark."
It was intentional, screw you!

The red on his hoodie should be more saturated, but I had already finished coloring it by the time it was too late to fix it.
I decided to change his shirt from green and black stripes to yellow and black stripes. It's been something I've been considering doing for a while, but just now realized how I should have changed it sooner. I like it.
I'm really unsure of what colors I want to use on his pants and shoes. He's not really the kind of guy who cares to match colors, but I also don't want to use too many different colors. I'm thinking red shoes, and possibly leaving his pants monochrome. But, then that doesn't really seem like enough color, I don't know.

Chubbz experienced some very unfortunate events in childhood. He fears what people would think if he shared his story, but badly wishes to "fit-in" somewhere. He bounced between many cliques which he eventually decided he didn't belong to. During the events of the story, he happens to be in the goth/emo/punk clique (and yes I know those three subcultures have "nothing in common", but they typically mingle and get along so they're grouped together for convenience). Chubbz ends up finding that these people have dark, peculiar stories to tell as well, but ends up more interested in them and their problems than in finding someone to share his story with (yes I know anyone of any subculture can have "dark stories to share", but it just happens that these "goths" are open about them as opposed to the other cliques which just sweep them under the rug). He ends up as a peace keeper between his hot-headed friends to later find out that their turmoil is really just a smaller part of a galactic war.

Great backstory! Though I wished what I knew his childhood was like, I won't ask because I know it's personal.

You are welcome. I know how it feels to be questioned repeatedly.

Oh gosh, yeah. People always ask me why I moved across the country, dang it I've answered the same question a billion times.

...Why did you? I only need a short answer, not a novel.

!! That's the thing, it's kinda odd to explain. I moved to Alabama from Connecticut because my dad moved to Alabama and explained that it was a lot cheaper to live down here, the air is cleaner, the people are nicer, etc. My mom wanted to move down here too, so I just tagged along with the rest of the family. It's odd to explain because I want to give good reason for it, and people always ask "how is it cheaper?" or make a comment like, "if you mean nicer as in intolerant bible-thumpers, sure." These southerners don't realize how good they have it. We couldn't afford to live in expensive CT anymore and were actually several years behind in the mortgage. Yeah, years.
.... oops, is this a novel?
Let me shorten it: Because my family moved down here so I followed.
You see, you're my pal so it's not so annoying to explain to you. But, sometimes strangers will notice my accent is unusual, so they ask me where I'm from. I don't want to explain that to strangers, it's annoying, I'll never see them again anyway so why do they need to know?

Oh, ok! Thanks for the explanation and people from Connecticut have an accent?

Not exactly, a "New England accent" is something more prominent in northern New England like Maine and Vermont (at least I assume it is lol).
Most people in the south at least have an ever so slight accent. Not everyone down in the south has a stereotypical accent, but compared to 99% of people here, yankees like myself speak really "properly", enough so that people recognize that I'm not from "around here". Someone actually once thought my dad was from Britain, heheh.
I suppose you can say that since I don't have an accent in a place where pretty much everyone has an accent, I have an accent too.

Wow. I wonder what a New England accent is?

Me too, actually. Supposedly they pronounce things like "scallops" like "scaul-ups" instead of "scal-ops", but despite growing up there I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way (granted it's not exactly a common word lol).
Perhaps we should youtube it, maybe there's a video about it.

Hmmm...I thought you always pronounced scallops like scallups?

Everyone I've ever known pronounces it like "scal-ops", but supposedly New Englanders pronounce it like "scawl..." as in... dang it, how do you type a sound!? !!!
Either way, I saw once on TV this fellow was pronouncing it with a NE accent and confused the newyorkers he was chatting with (which is surprising since NY boarders New England, you'd think the accents would mingle).
I suppose you could say a New England accent is the same as a Bostonian accent, which I think is a little like a Chicago accent.
Here, apparently this guy has a New England accent: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEyU1m…
He seems to pronounce "er" like "ah" sometimes. I don't do that...

Oh yeah, people in New England say wicked as a good thing like, "Wicked bike, dude!"

Do people really not do that in other places? I've been using the word "wicked" like that since, like, middle school.
(although I've kinda grown-out of it and now speak more in internet-lingo, like "win")
