Description
Here's the sketch for the newest addition to my set of characters! He's much less scientific than the rest of my characters, which is nice for a change. I wanted to go more for the medieval fable sort of character rather than the super-sleek, facts-checked, over-studied, correct-anatomy sci-fi sort that I usually go in for.He's also inspired by AltaΓ―r's armor in Assassin's Creed 2. When Ezio perches on things, his black pointy hood makes him look like a crow. Hope it's not too obviously connected to AC D:
Despite nearly everyone else wanting me to call him "Baldassare", I chose "Giacomo" because he looks like a Giacomo
Name pronounced [JAAH - koh - moh]
The oar he is holding isn't a gondola oar, so I'll change it to the shape sketched lightly to his right. That's the correct style.
Infoes!
-Venetian
-Born 1542
-Makes gondolas and drives them for the Venetian elite
-Usually very quiet and soft-spoken, but will rant extensively and loudly when provoked
-Always has the gondola oar with him. Doubles as a walking stick or weapon.
-Decent swordsman, but terrible marksman
-hood is nearly always up
-Speaks Italian and a little French
-Approx. 6'9"
-Crow (duh)
-No wings, but he has a tail

He is really neat!
I love what you've done with his outfit and his face is so cool. It's nice to see an anthro crow character once in a while (I really wish they were more common...). You have a lot of nice details in the sketch too.

Thanks!
But if they were more common, Giacomo wouldn't be unique D:

YEAH I VOTED FOR GIACOMO
i voted for that because of the bird in thumbellina... although you might want to change his name if you know the character giacomo in thumbellina.. hes pretty FABULOUS!

Weird, 'cause that's definitely a bluejay. Bluejay colors, bluejay markings, bluejay crest...

idk... His tail is very swallow-like... I was never sure if his legs were technically part of a tail or not...

Yeah! I've never been to a Ren Faire D: this should be interesting. Too bad the war hammer I ordered won't be here by then. I'd totally bring it XD
Maybe next time, whenever that is..... It sucks that all the other meets are so far away for me. Charlotte and Asheville are nearly never doable D:

Haha, aww. I've never been to a renaissance fair either! There's one near my area, but I've somehow managed to avoid it over my 20 years of nerdiness...
DUDE I WANNA SEE A WAR HAMMER WTF
And yeah, totes. Charlotte and Asheville are like... the closest they've gotten to me, so... haha. Idk, I just need to be out of class and work to devote the time it takes to drive that distance for a one-day thing. P:

Wow, that takes some doing! I've been to a medieval dinner party thing at a privately-owned castle in Italy, but there wasn't much to see there apart from a couple dudes in armor and of course the castle. It'll be nice to see LOTS of people in varied armor. I've always been an arms and armor fanatic
HERE IT IS [link] I'm so excited for it to come in the mail
Are you an ECU student or something? I'm pretty sure that's out that way at least...
