Description I got some new microns the other day that demanded a tryout So I drew Delgado and his family back when he was a kid.

I had a lot of fun drawing this, I love how the pen and ink style comes out so I'll definately have to do some more. My goal is to have some of these done to be in my chapter headers in the Skytown Novel, but not this big or extreme.

Delgado is the second from the right sitting down on the far side of the table

And at the risk of spoiling stuff a lot of this picture will remain unexplained until a short story gets written for it later on when I'm not busy

IT SO DOES. I LOVED IT. Sad though, poor Indian-dude-whos-name-I've-momentarily-forgotten. Haha, I loved the beginning though XD "Give me your hand, I can get us out of here!" "Alright, alright!" Snap.

Ski-Machine In reply to starcat5447 [2011-08-11 22:58:43 +0000 UTC]

He's not really 'evil.' Cutthroat, fiercely independant, closed off, violent, unpredictable, unreadable and not to be tampered with, warward outlaw. Like a moody explosive with legs
Morgan and Sol Diablo are more in the 'evil' category. Things get more cleared up in the book

You have a strange opinion of "cute". But that's okay. I think insects are cute. Same with sphynx cats. I mean, those warm little kitties are just so adorable! [link]

This look so awesome!!! I love the "flashback" feel to it, because of the black and white. It has a really cool effect, like we're flashing back to the past, something that would be harder to capture with color

EPIC

Ski-Machine In reply to moSHypants [2011-08-12 23:51:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, cause Charlie's family is pretty poor, they wouldn't be able to get Charlie a new quail for his own. So he's stuck with a dusty old Bobwhite
