Description Well, this is my most dedicated Original Character: Dallas.

On the right is how he used to look like in 2013 but his clothing design stretches back to Jan 3 2011, the day I drew him for the first time. His name had been changed twice, from Michael, to Daily, to Dallas. But I'm sure this time I'm satisfied with the current one.

The reasons for his new design are that: Since he was 7, he's been fending for himself in both the forest and city; He doesn't wear shoes because he's a size 22 which makes it virtually impossible to look for a pair.Β (His clothing came from a donation bin)Β Patterns on his pants are removed to better hide in the shadows. Top needed a more distinct print and to further aid in camouflage. Two leather gloves because why not (found in a parking lot). Owns an assisted knife after picking it up from a camping site, he uses it for even picking up a coin because he doesn't have any nails. Height increased to suit the origin of his physical structure. He had lost his left eye due to a gunshot instead of being born with it. No more mitten hands, I can draw the shape of proper hands now and I couldn't think of a reason to justify this feature. Finally, his hair had to be self-maintained, so he cuts it with the assisted knife and sometimes doesn't wash.
Drawn on August 20 2016 Sunday, 10:20 PM.

Tools used: Faber-Castell Erasable Crayon (Pale orange) I won't be relying on that crayon anymore, it didn't look so good on Right-Dallas., Zebra Drafix 0.7 Mechanical pencil (HB), Pilot FEED GP-4 0.7 (Black and Red), Colleen colored pencils (Pale Orange, Reddish brown), Mono Eraser. On an A3 Sketchbook.

Nope, only about 2,800 people in the world and 17% of them are or were employed by the NBA or some basketball group. You might know a few.....
- Yao Ming (7'6'')
- Shawn Bradley (7'6'' best remembered in the movie Space Jam)
- Georghe Muresan (7'7" the tallest NBA player ever)
- Mark Eaton (7'4")
- Rik Smits (7'4'' aka the The Dutch Dunker)
- Yasutaka Okayama (7'8'' tallest ever drafted, never played)
The tallest man who ever lived was Robert Wadlow he was an American who attained a measured height of 8 foot 11.1 inches high, sadly he passed away at age 22.

However the record for tallest natural was Angus MacAskill at 7 foot 9; Guinness lists him as the tallest ''natural'' giant, being naturally big; his height not being due to pathology, syndrome, pituitary gland disorder or genetic defect or flipped 12th chromosome. The tallest woman was Zeng Jinlian at 8 foot, 1 in. But massive curvature of her spine meant she couldn't stand. Meanwhile unconfirmed counts of taller humans are spotty at best. The "Giant of Castelnau" refers to three bone fragments from the Bronze Age, discovered by French Anthropologist Georges de Lapouge in 1890, using the bones as reference, he estimated the human could be 3.5 meters or 11.5 feet. However no modern peer reviewed study has been published about the alleged bones.

I was very excited to when drawing 2013 design, it's nostalgic. ^^ I might bring back some of the older features for when he reunites with his family, especially the shirt, parts of the trousers, and hair.

Hands are often the easiest to draw... Into toad feet. :b

He got lost into the forest, found an abandoned cabin house, and then wondered into the city before being found sitting at a bus station that's 4.5 hours' walk from that house. The journey started in Dallas, Texas, and ending in Oklahoma city after 10 years on his own. ^^

The time stamp is between 2001-2011, so it doesn't take place right now, but what I know for sure is that he's looked after by his girlfriend Akane (Formerly Anna) onwards. u: I'd like to draw him interacting with the clothes' original sizes... Although, I'm not sure if he'll get any shoes soon.

Oh wow!! That's pretty far! And yeah. Poor guy would need some customs made I'm guessing haha and aww girlfriend care taking of cuteness omgggg πŸ’–

JadeLikeJay In reply to brittoniawhite [2016-09-01 12:38:10 +0000 UTC]

I suppose he wouldn't want shoes anyway, living so long without them and all. :Y

He became fluent in Japanese through Akane and they've decided to speak to each other this way, as grammar and pronunciation habits of the first-learnt language doesn't get in the way of his speech as much as it does on her. The gradual process of developing this fluency on a daily basis is some of the sweetest form of chemistry between them. ^^
