Description Well, he's smiling, so that means the suitcase is packed with either liquor or money, or possibly a combination of both. Emile is not a particularly happy or healthy person, and he's usually at his most tolerable when he's under the influence of alcohol or has somehow managed to rob/cheat/lie/steal his way towards a small fortune. He used to be at the very top of his profession and (heaven forbid) passably charming, but has since devolved into a self-pitying, emotionally damaged narcissist with a severe napoleonic complex. He enjoys planning out his crimes in detail and enjoys a short-lived high with each successful hiest. In-between jobs he tends to get depressed and spends a lot of his spare time smoking like a chimney with a burning lust for lung cancer and convincing himself that he's a failure. To keep him from wallowing in his misery /too/ much, Paolo constantly gets into trouble and makes a mess of the apartment. It's tough to be properly angsty when you're forever trying to get oil paint and marinara sauce out of the upholstery. What are friends for? : D



Alexds1 did an awesome (and extremely accurate) sketch of Paolo and Emile, so you guys check it out and give her some love. : D

I like the animation of the pose, it seems somewhat cartoony but still vibrant (vibrant... that is saying alot for a zombie)

I love your art so much. The pose is so full of movement, accented by your lively lineart. Great style in your lines, so bold and jagged and sharp and nice! Your stuff always has such great contrast to pull the viewer in

I can hear some funky,swanky,rather loopy loose music box/accordian music going for his thought process and atmosphere. With those lanky legs and heels, he could go go-go disco on us at anytime now, with that kind of high. :3 stylized

Very nicely rendered. And I love your little character blurbs at the bottom of each piece you do. xD
And I shall take a peak at that picture in the link there.

Maybe someone should get him into videogames, then he can obsess about beating levels and getting cool items instead of angsting all over his apartment. XD

And that sketch is hilarious! Oh man.. when I noticed the eyeball I just cracked up!

He would when he needs to do a heist in order to get more game money. Monthly subscriptions can get expensive!

That one empty socket kind of creeps me out, but overall it's a very humorous pic.
