Can't think of a better title...This was very spontaneous...From inspiration and idea to completion, it was completed within two days. It came about as a result of watching a couple different anime, then randomly hearing a song about a circus...so I sketched something, and started drawing it, and listened to a mixture of things like 'Cirque du Soleil' music and the 'Coraline' soundtrack. This was the result...
He's from the circus (obviously), and perhaps he acts as the ringmaster; he's young, charismatic (probably somewhat colorful and flamboyant as well), and maybe a little eccentric. And of course, I'm sure he has his secrets, as do most circus performers (particularly in a world where supernatural or fantasy elements are involved). What those secrets are, however, I'm not entirely sure yet. From what I can tell from what I ended up drawing, he wears a lot of bells, and his eyes have a reflective shine when in shadow, much like a cat or a wolf. He also has an odd way of holding the cane - he tends to hold it backwards, or upside-down.
I haven't figured out a name for him yet...or for whatever circus he's a part of. I'd be interested in hearing any suggestions people might have. ^___^
I think this character would be served much better if you cropped in on him a lot more. His details are getting lost because hes so small in the canvas.
Wow. Definitely digging the costume design! Great execution in digital painting, too, with the folds and shading. I think the costume really reflects on his character/personality.
Woop, suggestion time! His cane resembles the designs of Egyptian scepters; maybe his name could be something like Was or Anubis?
So I don't know, but he looks like a Guy Temple. LOL.
Or even a Skylar. or something. *shrugs*

Heh, I hadn't even noticed that...but you're right, it does. XD Anubis...or Osiris (the underworld) or Set/Seth (chaos)...hmm.
