Description My titles are so creative.

Don't know. Wanted to do it. I suppose Basil is apologizing for taking Basilio's design and partially his name, but he doesn't seem so apologetic about it. Anyway, this is just further confirmation that they are the same design but they are, in fact, quite different as people.

Basilio is from Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro and Basil is from my web comic "HMS Crock Doctor" which can be found here: [link]

12 Nov. 2012 EDIT: Changed Basil's hair and eye color. Originally he had a mousy brown but what I was really going for was a dirty blonde, and hopefully I've portrayed that here.

Basilio looks creeped out by Basil. XD He`s all, "...UGH. WHICH SELF RESPECTING MAN WEARS A MUD GREEN VEST WITH GREY PANTS? IT SHOULD BE WORN WITH LIGHT TAFFETA GREEN SILK. "

Cool, I love characters full of colors ;D

Basil reminds of Carabina, which is one of my characters.

Carabina loves to drink and smoke, don't giving a dam to what others talk or think about him.He just want to be happy.

Although, even if Basil "doesn't seem so apologetic", I bet he would give his own arm for Basilio's sake. He's not a bad guy, I can feel innocence and a ingenue heart aura coming from him, and I love this kinda of characters *--*

Ah, very perceptive you are! Yeah, Basil is generally a good guy, but not overly so. He's sort of always off doing his own thing.
Did you draw your Carabina?

I did. I just don't upload it because it's not one of my best works.
Would you like to see him ?

Wonderful job, as always. I like how sassy Basilio is being whilst Basil is being sarcastic in his silent apology.
