Description
I was just messin' around, really. I needed a break from the constant comicking of Hanna and/or Starbucks but still wanted to draw. This is the main character for my most current comicBOOK project that I haven't really posted anything about. BUT NOW I'M GONNA SHARE SOME.His name is Macsen Lander and he's a thirty five years old scholar but dresses like he's freakin' fifty years old. He's stuffy and stiff as hell, but he's outspoken and has a bit of a temper on him. He's also a bit of a prude, but that's another thing completely.
Mack used to be married, but due to circumstances against his own desires, she left him, and she is now happily married again with several kids. Mack hasn't even dated in the five years that he's been alone after she left him, and instead turned to his academic career (which is alchemy by the way) and became an alcoholic and a workaholic. Eventually, though, he created something called the 'stasis elixir' which was meant to 'freeze' people's bodies who were injured so that they may reach medical help in time. At first this discovery gave him nothing but wealth and good news. Then reality hit and it's been nothing but a horrid pain since, and he sort of thinks it can go fuck itself.
That's the reader's digest version.
And I know people with black hair + freckles don't really happen but ITS FANTASY I'm going to abuse it, thanks.
The quote is from The Hoosiers song "The Trick To Life" by the way.
Cheers!

Random comment on a really old picture to say
I have (pretty much) black hair
and freckles.
So yeah, it happens. I'm not quite as dashing as this fellow, however.

Haha I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I wanted to comment on a) how awesome this is and b) that I actually know someone with black hair and freckles! He's half-asain, half-jewish, which I guess is how that... happened... yeah.
Awesomedrawing?

Very cool. I look forward to hearing more. Oh, and black hair with freckles can happen in real life: I have dark-brown hair, blue eyes and freckly skin that burns to a crisp in strong sunlight. So yes, pale-skinned brunettes do exist; don't give up hope!
Anyway, this story sounds exiting. I love your dorky, dysfunctional characters.

Okay true story I have seen one person(kid)with black hair, blue eyes, and freckles...he was cuter than all hell, seriously I just wanted to steal him, but that would get me in trouble.
Love this character by the by. Allof your characters seem so well developed it just puts me in awe.

I know others have made similar comments, but I have black hair and have random patches of freckles below my chin, in the middle of my stomach, all around and in my belly button and like a fireworks display on the side of one of my lower legs.
And they appear on my face in the summer.
Freckles are so random. o-o;;
ANYWAAAYYYSSS. That is amazing you are publishing a book. A BOOOK. 8'DD

Black hair + freckles doesn't happen? Huh, didn't know that actually. Dark, dark near-black brown definetly does.
In more relevant news, I love the roundness of his jaw and forehead. its a subtly different character design for your.

No, it apparently does! I just suck!
And thanks! Yeah, he's actually not quite as angular as everyone else. :>

I have brown hair and freckles on my cheeks, but most don't notice because of my glasses I guess. But brown =/= black? Oh well~

I can't even begin to tell how cool it is that you've been posting again. 8D
Makes me want to dance!
Anyway! I love this idea! Its an interesting idea to me because, I want to feel bad for his bad luck...but then he's clearly a bit an ass XD
I hope this is REALLY successful comic venture...mostly 'cause I want to see more. I'm selfish like that.
Also, my mum has black hair and freckles
As does my older sister.
And my oldest brother.

Sweet lookin'! I dig the chemical substance background, it's really spiffy and otherworldly.
His name though reminded me of the fake senders in spam mail. X] (I collect their names in a .txt file and call characters like that. ... Because I can. *cough*)

Woah, I love your style. It's groovy. He looks like an awesome character!
Also, I have (almost) black hair and freckles... IT'S NOT A MYTH. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!

Whatever that shit is coming out of that beaker, it looks awesome.
Also. For what it's worth. I myself have very very dark brown hair that could be mistaken for black, I suppose, and also a ridiculous amount of freckles. So, I'm pretty sure it's possible. :>

I am excited for this project, as I am for all of your projects.
He's really got that prof vibe about him, and grown men with freckles are one of my weaknesses (along with big noses, hoho)

I love your character designs. Your characters are so lovably unlovable. Lol. They're social outcasts but you can't help liking them. He looks pretty awesome, too. I love the special effects you use.
One of my good friends is half-hispanic, half-white. She's got black hair and a freckled face. Her mom's pretty dark and still has freckles I think though I don't really pay attention.

This is pretty much amazing. I think I may be in love with that sweater vest!
Also, if it helps: black hair (or very very dark brown) and freckles do happen.... check out "black Irish" on wikipedia. It may put your mind at ease.
