Description "Say, ever since I've met ya, ya've been wearin' that tattered old scarf.  Does it have any kind of significance?"

"This scarf? Of course it does.  It's my shackles.  It ensures I can never escape the memories and the consequences of my sins"

"Damn, son, all that from a scarf?"

"But of course.  It was given to me by the one whose life I ruined, after all."

Because nothing says "crippling self pity" like a tattered old scarf, amirite?

A sketch I've had in mind for a while and finally got round to.
You might recall in a piece a while back I mentioned Ferox's attire used to be pretty regal back in the day, well this is him at the bottom of his downward spiral.  
What did he do, and who gave him that scarf?  All will be revealed once I get my sorry ass in gear and actually start the damn comic

Really good stuff here. Ferox's stoic expression convincingly gets across the weight of his emotional burden. Also a big fan of the simple presentation of this drawing being used to highlight the focal point of the image: the scarf.

Great job on this!

And even his hair looks noticeably longer here too..... Plus those eyes which, for some reasons here, looks particularly bloodshot... THAT is a mess.

True. Having agreed to that, the sad thing is sometimes the rock bottom of the ravine you are falling into is actually a field of quicksand but that sounds depressing so don't mind me. At least he doesn't end up there.

It will be so cathartic if Ferox burns this scarf as a gesture of self-forgiveness and growing up.
DAMN GET INTO MAKING THE COMIC ALREADY!!1!

No, not really. I guess for now he should need some time to recover. Recover, then heal.
Well, IT CLEARLY ISN'T ENOUGH, GODDAMNIT.

Amazing work here! I think this is the best drawing of Ferox you've ever done! I love how his face looks, and I think you absolutely nailed his expression. He looks so broken and "empty". Also, coloring only the eys and the scarf really helps making those details stand out.
