Description And now, it is finished.

Fredric Derpsch is a pathologist in the late Victorian era, specializing in the "so-called incurable ailments". He claims to have a cure for any plague he stumbles across, and sells it at top price.

Unfortunately, he is not always as "honorable" as he seems- he's studied these terrible diseases to the extent of being able to replicate them.

Boy, Derpsch's minuscule child-servant, is the product of a family fallen ill but could not pay. They gave up their child in order to receive Derpsch's aid, and he was not unwilling to take the offer. Boy is usually quiet and never acts unless Derpsch tells her to.

Boy is not Boy's real name. Derpsch only calls her 'Boy' so he's not attached to her in any sort of sense. She's never treated like a girl, he keeps her hair cut and baggy clothes, etc. He really mistreats the poor girl.

Old guy in long black coat. I want one plz. Two if you've got 'em to spare.

I wonder if Derpsch (German for derp! *shot*) plays out the two-sided pied piper game with towns? Release the disease and then come waltzing in with a cure once everyone's half-dead and desperate?

Bastard calls the kid Boy. *smacks*

Love the cast shadows and the clear master-slave contrast between the two in their poses, expressions, and dress. Very nice!

I dare not add him to my harem of older men, so may may have him, my lady. *offers a rather miffed Derpsch*

He has, a few times. He's not beyond that sort of trickery, when he can get away with it. Mind you, he doesn't do it to be malicious.. he's just really greedy. :C And you can get so much off of a cure..

<3 Thank you. I'm very glad the master-slave contrast came across. I didn't want to put the poor girl on her knees, but I definitely wanted her to seem subservient. xD

NICE

I love, love, love Freddy, up there. LOVE.
Man, the anatomy, the facial structure, the expression, the body language, the hair! Everything, brah.
The boy looks great, too! Lovin' his face c: His shoulders are a bit narrow, and his upper-arms are pretty small, but everything else about him is awesome!

Dude, totally can't wait to see the finished piece CB

LOL. <3 Thank you so much for that explosive comment, it totally made me fistpump because MAN I was hoping I'd done it good.

Aaaaand actually, I see what you mean- his hands are actually a little fat here, because he's really scrawny and those sleeves were supposed to be baggy but I made the hands too thick and WHOOPS will fix that inna mornin', thanks for pointing it out. <3
