Description something simpler this time, i wanted to redraw this old old character of mine =] i created him about 6 years ago and this is the first time in about 3 years that i've drawn him again ;__;

His name is kennan, an ex-gypsy and infamous trouble-maker who never stays in one town more than two days. playful, flirtatious, a little egoistic, and unfortunately for everyone, saddled with the important task of replacing the experienced old time keeper one day, for reasons known to very few.

but of course, being the lazy bastard that he is, time moves rather slowly, or not at all whenever he's out of town, which is super often.

---

Pencil and photoshop. the machinery about him are mostly the inner body of a clock. yea, they even had intricate designs inside by the maker in olden days i suppose.

Have a great day! And thanks for all the new watches! ;D

i dont use or have any compasses though and i got to understand clockwork designs through a book i scanned during Uni, ahaa~ so books are really a good place to start research! its just pencil lines, i try to be very careful with my lineart x'D

Koukyo In reply to circus-usagi [2009-12-23 02:04:44 +0000 UTC]


Oh I see. Yeah lots of people dont like them. Although behind the reasons are lots of stereotypes. I dont said they arent true but not all of the gypsys it would be a huge generalisation.

btw: I am half gypsy too.
