Description
For 's Tenth round, task One: Guess who my character is!Anyone is welcome to guess, whether you're a part of the group or not.
(I'll answer guesses after the deadline passes)
---
The details on this totally killed me, but they paid off in the end... I'm really proud of this piece. 
The girl with him is Ruka, the first character I ever enrolled in OC-T (4th round). And the cat rubbing up against her leg is my sweet Esperanzo.
(I had to put cameos of my own cats in here... there's also Morty (kitten on his back) and Iago (black cat) 
)Greaser is the orange tabby between the humans - he's Kiro's favorite cat.
His pickup is a 1972 Chevy C10, and the cans are Schlitz ( which was my grandpa's favorite)
Kudos to the dudes at my work who put an old pickup on the lift for me to get undercarriage references yet I still messed up the exhaust pipe XD

Thank you so much! This is also my favorite piece that I've ever done.
I just practiced a lot beforehand with drawing trucks! In my downtime at work, I looked out in the parking lot and sketched the many pickups that my co-workers all drive to work. XD My job certainly helped me out a lot with Kiro's round.
Thank you!! I always knew this would be how I showed Kiro's guess who picture; it was just finding the right angle to execute it from.
Of course! XD I almost wish I included PK too, but there's so much going on already. I always like drawing sweet lil' Ruka
Thank you again, so very much!

Kari: So you live in the woods with Ruka, a herd of cats, and some strange looking metal cart. (That is one weird looking thing. The f*ck is that, anyway?) Ruka must be really special to be the only one pictured with you. And for some reason you seem to attract lots of cats? Are you sure you’re not some sort of spirit or something? Alright, so my guess is you’re super strong, in more ways than one, and though you seem to act tough, you’re actually a big soft bear of a man.

Kiro: Heh, just wait til ya find out... my ol' Chevy will change yer life, darlin'.

Kari: We'll just see 'bout that, won't we?

let's see
1. CAR.
2. KITTY.
Now that I have the things that my eyes immediately went to after seeing what the main focus is meant to be...
Perhaps both of them work on cars? However, it's obvious who's more experienced at their job...
Nice.

Impressive strenght!
I can see in your painting loads of cats and details to enjoy. Still overal composition is sucessful and congrats on puting a car in a perspective.

Thank you very much. It was an enjoyable challenge to draw this.

That pose is awesome!
Kirill seems to be a car-lover, very eager about his passion. He's rather messy, by the way he leaves his objects around, and works on an impulse. He has a childhood crush on Ruka, maybe, and the two likes hanging out together in either one's backyard or an abandoned part of the woods where people dump their cars at. The two seem to enjoy cats as well.
Very nice picture, by the way!

Thank you very much! He is indeed a messy car-lover and is rather impulsive.

You're welcome!
I was actually going to suggest Ruka was his sister but I saw they had different surnames haha-

Looks like someone who is very strong. Maybe that kid is their little sibling and they look up to them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep! The girl is his cousin, but they are more like siblings.

Ooh~ Let's see...
A guy who loves cars/machines, and maybe lives out on his own in a rural area because he likes the peace and quiet, or maybe so he doesn't have to worry about anyone noticing his amazing strength and flipping out

This is indeed a nice detailed and lovely picture <3 nice work on that !
Kiro appears to be a strong man. Probably hangs a lot around with Ruka and want to impress her.
Maybe they hang around a lot on this place because it is so full of cats and they might take care for those cats.
He might be a auto mechanic. because of all the tools around and well he knows his fair deal of old times like this chevy he is lifting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much!
He is a super-strong mechanic, who loves his kitties. Ruka and him do hang out a lot (they're cousins) - and he likes to impress her (and everyone else).
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Well he seems to be a buff boi OwO he probs has some kind of powers that make him strok.. acquired by being blessed by a southern witch or born after his mom drank expired Kool-Aid idk.
He does seem to be some kind of a mechanic and a bit of a flirt (unless that's his sister, then he's just a show off, idk if des his sister but they do look kinda similar?)
He might also be a cat person too with all those kitties lurking around.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YES dude. It is because of a witch me that they get their powers!
Lmao, he is a bit of a flirt... but that's his cousin. He is also a show off. And a cat person.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome work on the details in this!
Kiro seems to be super strong, maybe showing off for Ruka. He seems like a cat loving farm boy who maybe lives or works out in the country.

Thank you so much!
You are correct.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Amazing!!! I love it so much and I know that you put do much love into this!
Obviously Kiro is man who enjoys making styrofoam cars and he's trying to show his one friend how light it is.
( XD I know the real answer since I love this guy)

Thank you!!
omg u r so rite

I love the colors and all the detail you put into this!! All those cats are so cute
Kiro looks like a car mechanic with some kind of super strength. He's in a forest and gives me kind of rustic vibes. Though, he's leaving a lot of litter around him, so maybe he's a bit messy; I wouldn't call him an environmentalist 
All the cats are wonderful and I love them!! I would guess that they're not pets so much as wild cats or farm cats or something that wander around, but he likes them/at least tolerates them enough to not shoo them away.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
You are pretty much right! Ruka is his cousin, though their relationship is more like that of siblings. All the kitties are mostly strays that have decided to stick around, because they get fed. It's mostly his mom's fault that they have so many cats, but Kiro loves them too.

That's a lot of cats! that's really amazing of your coworkers to do that! This is an amazing piece, it's gorgeous. The colors and all the details are super well done. I suck at drawing any car so kudos to you!
I'd guess Kiro is/wants to be a mechanic. Seems the perfect profession for him if he's capable of lifting a car by himself.

All them kitties! Yes, the plus side of working with a bunch of my own rednecks is to get truck references and inspiration lmao |D
Thank you so very much!
Yep!

This piece is gorgeous!!! I love all the details and all the colors you picked!! The colors of the trees on the background is what most caught my attention~
Alright, now about the guessing part.... Hmmm....
Going by the tools on the ground, I can guess that maybe he is some type of mechanic, or that he likes to fix/mess with cars. Also, obviously by him lifting up a whole car, I can assume he have some sort of super-strenght.
Also he seems really happy to see Ruka's reaction to him doing his trick, so maybe he already knew his super power and is just showing off to her Also for the fact that he is doing so in such a reclused area (in the forest) he's probably keeping it secret from others? Or maybe he lives in there.

Thank you so very much! I absolutely love painting Autumn trees
You are correct about all your guesses! This wooded area is where he lives~

That... is a lot of cats.
And of course that's the first thing I notice and not the fact he's lifting a car.

I'm guessing Kiro is a mechanic with super strength? I'm guessing he likes cats?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is a very gorgeous and detailed drawing! I love all the attention and colors you gave this <3
I'm going to guess that Kiro is a mechanic- or at least dabbles a bit in mechanics in his free time. He also seems like a very kind person considering he has a lot of cats around and the mood of the overall drawing gets that feeling of serenity. I'm assuming Kiro is a father or the girl is his sister...? So he seems like a possible family person! Kiro also seems like the kind of person who likes to live 'off-grid' considering his location- he enjoys nature rather than being in some large city. The time period either seems like the 80's/90's due to the clothing and car but it could be modern with a more 'retro' look to it!

Thank you so very much!
Great guesses! He is an amateur mechanic and Country Boy who would hate living in the big city. He is quite friendly and has a fun personality, but he's not always kind... and turns into more of an asshole as the story goes on. :') ( an excess of testosterone from his super strength makes him quite aggressive ) The girl with him is his cousin, but their relationship is more like that of siblings. Awesome job guessing the time period, you nailed that right on the head! The story takes place in the late 80's.

I know too much to guess but wow This is super awesome! The colors are just ... wow And there are so many wonderful kitty cats I counted a total of 10 cats! Btw, the guys at your work sound awesome.

Thank you so much!
Hehe, yeah, it was awesome of them to help me get those references. I practiced drawing their pickups beforehand in preparation for this task too.

That's awesome for research!

Okay, the super strength is definitely a given since I'm pretty sure that I don't know any normal humans that can lift up a car like that. o_O
I'd say that he's got a bit of cockiness to him. Either that or he really, really wants to impress Ruka. Though now that I think of it; cockiness and trying to impress a girl in that way kind of go hand in hand.
They live on a rural farm with a lot of cats. The one clinging on to the hood is making me laugh far more than it probably should.
Also, the attention to details on the car is amazing. Machinery is something I still struggle with.

He is definitely cocky, and loves to impress the ladies. Ruka's his cousin, though... doesn't mean he doesn't want to impress her too though. XD

First off I love all the cats! I'm totally a cat person❤ Kiro looks like he's a super strong, crazy cat man who works as a machanic. The girl with him could be his sister or his girlfriend (I'm leaning towards girlfriend) and it looks like maybe she's interested in mechanics as well. I absolutely love this picture it's so warm and colorful, it's making me miss warmer weather.

Thanks so much! I'm a huge cat person too

Country roads, take me home, to the place I belooooooong - West Virginia, Mountain Momma, country roads take me home~
Kiro Markov is a teen mechanic from West Virginia, and a family member to Ruka Russak, judging their outward similarities. He is from a (lower or) middle class family with roots in Europe, judging his Russian surname. He is a bit of a tinkerer and spends most of his time at his own personal junkyard, where he plays around with cars - literally, perhaps.
Although he works in a forested area, he is not particularly concerned with his environment, and leaves a trail of cigarettes and empty cans wherever he goes. Personally, I feel as if his Larger Than Life/enthusiastic personality may leave a figurative trail wherever he goes anyways - he seems like he type of guy who leaves an impression on whoever he meets, for better or for worse I do not know.
I guess that in this picture, Kiro makes a show for Ruka by lifting the car to show off the Cool New Superpower he got after a fateful night at halloween (placing this drawing at the first of november or maybe even later). His power appears to be SUPER STRENGTH and he's able to LIFT CARS. Perhaps he doesn't do so with ease, but damn, that's quite a feat if you were to ask me!
In spite of his boyish disregard for the impact he has on his environment in general (and maybe also on people, but that's pure speculation on this point), he isn't purposefully ignorant of the consequences of his behavior (whether it's littering or anything else) and even seems like a gentle person behind his boisterous and show-off-y personality. Cats are at ease with him and have a great time playing around his personal spot - considering the usually mistrustful nature of wild cats, this is a definite sign of a trustworthy personality, someone to be at ease with.
To other people, he may be a bit of an acquired taste, but he also does have a gentle heart underneath his tough skin.
Also, I have to note that I ADORE this piece!

Great analyzation! He's from a lower class family, definitely. The only thing I can object to is that he's not one of the cool kids at school... though, maybe he'd like to think so.
Ah, thank you so so much! I have to agree, this is the work I'm most proud of to date...
