Description OH MAN FINALLY. A combination of Real Life and Art Block Apathy meant this took waaay longer than it should've, but it's finally done.

The official character sheet for my character Sal Burken of The Aether. I'm really really proud of how this picture came out, from the sketches to the inked/colored main pose. As I made this with the intent of putting it in my portfolio, this is a good thing.

Sal and The Aether belonga me. Oh Sal, you popped out of nowhere to be one of my favorites. I guess it's easy to draw your favorites.

I really really like those subtly two-toned pants, for some reason. And the jumpy-pose. You're really good at drawing people in motion. *jealousy*

Oh wow, spiffy design! I like Sal. His clothes are really cool, and the missing tooth is a nice touch. Verra nice job!

6'3"? Jeez he's tall!
Anyway, why does it say the tattoo is imperfect? Looks fine to me! Also, I gotta say, I love the pants and trenchcoat, clothing is a toughie for me.

I find it funny that he keeps his hair loose, but has a tie on his beard. Plus the crouching leap sketch is cool.

TOO cool!
And I'm guessing the magical arm doesn't fry through the coat, even though it looks possible.
Love that tatt, too.
hur, tattoo. tatt-too? lB

Yay you finished it! Aw Sal, look at your toothy hobo grin. The magic effect looks really nice too, as do your inks. Blah blah blah compliment gush blah I like Sal blah yay Aether blah.

THE LITTLE VICTORIAN FIDDLY BITS ARE A NICE TOUCH.

Dang, this looks super super slick! I am really digging this style of lineart with the varying thickness. Also the color choices for his outfit. Oh man, his scruffy hair and missing tooth, too. And I really enjoy the sketches on the right. Blah blah blah nothin' to do but gush here! This is a really nicely executed character sheet!

Awesome! He kind of reminds me of Ian Anderson. But I guess I'm just seeing rockstars everywhere, haha.

Great character!

Firstly? I love the design of his arm. It looks ethereal (aetherial?) while still looking solid enough to pack a punch. Using red makes a nice change from the usual electric blue, as well.

Secondly? I love that tattoo. Is Sal of Scottish descent? It would make sense, with the unicorn and the motto.

Thirdly? I really want a coat like that.

Yep! English born and raised, but Sal's of Scottish descent and proud of it.

What does the writing on the tattoo say? I only figured out "nobody me," the first two words.

and this from a latin student

Actually it says "nemo me impune lacessit". It's the motto on the Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland.

'Nemo Me Impune Lascessit' - Nobody hurts me with impunity.

It's the motto of the Order of the Thistle. Appears on castles and other buildings all over Scotland.

Is it just me, or does he have a manic hobo look?

But great job I love the arm.
