An original character...

FULL VIEW PLEASE!

Good grief - It's something that's not fanart!! 8 /

This is a character that's been kicking around in my head for some time now, a combination of a person I saw riding down my street (alas, no penny farthing), someone from my dancing group and a character I played at a host-a-murder recently (I always get the guy characters...).

His name, for the moment, is Tinny O'Rourke, and he's the nicer variety of downtrodden street-merchant, who cycles (well, gets pulled along by dogs, anyway) from place to place selling fruit (or whatever happened to fall off the back of a horse-drawn carriage). He's generally an honest character though, and also busks for money (I know the instrument he's holding looks more like a lute than a violin, I reckon it's something he made himself). He's part of a group of Victorian-era characters I'm trying to do something with at the moment, which will most likely start with some more character sketches (and hopefully, unlike Tinny, they won't all end up looking exactly like EVERY OTHER CHARACTER I DRAW 8(... ). Don't ask me how he manages to stay balanced on that thing, I wish I had that amount of coordination

Not entirely happy with the colour scheme here, but this is my first drawing of him, so we'll see what happens!
