yesh, one of my original characters.

This here is Jack Lynx (unoriginal last name, yes, but a bad last name is better than no last name).
He starred in a 5-page comic (think it was five) that I made which also got published, so I thought it'd be OK to put him in my gallery. He's "safe" because since the comic got published, you have to be retarded to think you can get away with stealing this.. >_> XD lol sorry.
That comic was horribly drawn, by the way. I'm so embarrased over how badly I drew that I haven't looked at it for years. So, Jack might not look exactly like he did then, but I think I got most of him right.
I've never colored him before either, so seeing him in colors is kinda....strange, somehow. Doesn't look like him anymore, y'know..like when someone who's had the same hair for years suddenly gets a haircut. Not the same person! XD

*ahem*
stuff about Jack:

Jack is a really sweet guy, have to start by saying that.
He is 14 or 15 years old, is an orphan and likes hanging out with his only friend, Max.
They live in a country where there's a civil war that's been going on for decades. Jack is said to bring bad luck, someone's even taking it as far as saying Jack brings death with him, so everyone in town hates him. He can't seem to even walk out of his house without being spat on or thrown rocks at.
Still, he's very optimistic, and tries to look at the bright side of things. He is also Max's "guardian angel" as Max chose to call him after Jack saved him from being murdered at the streets, so he's decided he'll stay alive so he can protect his best friend.
While Max is the philosophic guy, Jack is a realist. But he likes discussing philosophy and taking walks in the forest with Max.

About the bad-luck thing:
When Jack was a baby, he and his entire family were walking together into town to buy some food for the money they had saved up. Right outside the small shop, curious little Jack found something on the ground and stopped to take a closer look at it. This caused the family to stop and wait for him, but right in that moment - a bomb exploded inside the store, and the whole family, standing outside the window, got killed by it - right in front of little Jack's eyes.
He started believing it was his fault.
Jack stayed with his grandmother, who was luckily still alive. She was old and couldn't walk, but she took good care of him. Later one day, she died while Jack was outside. Rumors spread that he had killed her.
There was also this girl, Alys, who both Jack and Max had a crush on, but she committed suicide. The townspeople soon found out that she had been in love with Jack, and so they blamed Jack once more for causing her death.
Lots of bad things happened when Jack was present, and he was the local scapegoat of everything.
Max was the only one who was convinced Jack had nothing to do about it, and their friendship was what kept Jack from doing the same thing as Alys did.

so...yeah...*clears throat*

that's all I had to say about that for now...

sorry that the coloring is bad, also that there are blue sketch-lines all over it (forgot to change layer when I went from sketching to inking), and I now see that I should have made a background..
But after a comment that gave me, (thank you! ^_^) I felt really inspired to submit a drawing of one of my characters.
So I drew this 30-minutes drawing of Jack.

favs are nice, but I like COMMENTS better! <3
