Description
Baxter was once a promising student in the field of Steam Powered Biochemistry (S.P.B). That was, until his tutor, one Dr. Hildaguard Metzger decided that Baxtor would make an excellent test subject for her vile experiments.Baxter soon became completely insane and homicidal and was committed to Victorian London's notorious Bedlam Mental Asylum. He spent many years slowly being consumed by his own madness and anger towardsΒ Metzger. Baxter may have completely lost all humanity if it wasn't for one of the young nurses, Sister Eleanora, at the asylum who cared for him. She seemed to be the only one to calm his disturbed mind. One night Baxter awakes to find his cell door open and the wardens drugged. Unsure who has enabled his escape he flees with one person on his mind - Dr. Hildaguard Metzger!

I admit I have a bit of a soft spot for characters like this, and I absolutely love the design of this guy. It definitely has a steampunk feel to it and it's clear even before reading the bio that the character is a bit of a psycho. But reading his bio, I can't blame him for losing his mind at all! Great work, keep it up!

I'm glad you like the design. My original design had a cage on his head after watching years ago but ultimatly I went for the box as felt not seeing his face was a little bit more interesting.
I was trying to go for someone that looks crazy but sympathetic at the same timeΒ

Yes, I agree that the box certainly gives him an air of mystery and leaves his (facial) appearance up to the viewer's imagination. Also you don't tend to see that sort of thing very often with characters like this, most of the time you can see half or all their face, so the box also provides some originality, which I like.
I think you've definitely got that across
That said, it'd be quite interesting to see his face too!

I may consider doing a sketch of that

Baxter is sympathetic and unnerving all at the same time. There's an air of mystery and menace about him, with his full-body straightjacket and boxed up head. His design definitely piques my interest; I'm curious to know if he's successful in his quest for vengeance or what sorts of adventures he'd embark on.

Thanks. Baxter is supposed to look creepy on the outside but he is also supposed to be a tragic character too
