Description This is a little Lackadaisy fanart, cause I like how Tracy's characters look, specially Mordecai, I don't exactly know why. Well, maybe because we have similar expressions (or so it seems in the character sheet) and there's some identification thing or something. Or something else. But I like how the character looks. Since he's some sort of hitman, I drew him against this stonewall with some blood from someone he killed (the body has been dragged out of the picture due to artist lazyness). The gun is a 1912 Mauser C-96, or so says Google, because I really know nothing about guns, but this one looked cool, plus, I imagine Mordecai looks like he prefers the old fashioned gun to the Tommy, but maybe that's just me.

Oh, I realize the watercolors+ photoshop don't give the best result, specially since I already abused those brushes before. But hey, I really have no budget for watercolor backgrounds, I would run out of watercolors with two pictures, and this paintings are more expensive than they look (the little box I had costed 16€). So yeah, low budget backgrounds. It's still more fun to do than a full CG. Anyway, I hope Tracy likes it, here is a link to her gallery, by the way, she's really talented:

And her site, still on construction, but with some parts already active:

I like that watercolor on digital as well, the juxtaposition of digital and traditional art is really cool when done well. I really like this, and I love Lackadaisy. My favorite part of all in this image is the smoke, it is just so cool, the way it ties the CG and traditional together.

Actually, I quite like the look of watercolour on a photoshopped background. IKD why, but it just looks great!

Wow -- thank you!! That's awesome...and it's made even more awesome by that all-too-convincing blood stain. (Where'd you learn how to paint blood stains so well?) XD
I need to post more artwork of Mordecai myself. He's a lot of fun.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I hope to see more Mordecai art myself.

As for the blood stain, it was Photoshop cheating. I basically used the same brushes I used for the crap in the wall, only in blood colors and varying opacities and such to make it look more natural. The brushes aren't meant to be used for blood, but some work quite well. You can download them here:
