#8 Ol’ Rupe
I had a character idea for that Entervoid site I go to a while ago, about a big, bandaged bum that’s impossible to kill & just gets into these brutal battles. But I kind of wanted to give him a chatty sidekick & in my head I kept thinking of like an old prospector from a cheesy western. Like back in the day you’d have the hero, the love interest, & the goofy old codger comedy relief guy. I designed the other character but never fleshed out the sidekick, so here he is. I imagine him to be the kind of bum that would talk your ear off, with tons of stories. And perhaps inexplicably have a cockney accent. He lives in a cardboard box with a tarp for a door. Every waking cent he gets doesn’t go into booze or drugs though, as he’s really into Gunpla.
Awesome art work. I really like your style.
Thanks man!
Great work !!
Thanks
Nice sketch. Is he the kind of guy that can heal up quickly or does he just not die from injuries ever?
Thanks. I realize the way I wrote it may’ve been a little confusing but this here is the sidekick. You can get an idea of the big guy here: http://facebusterdeluxe.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/order-up-some-violent-quiche/ He heals quicker than he probably should, but nothing superhuman, & never really heals that nicely actually. It’s more a matter of him just being persistent & angry.
