This is a more recent character of mine. When I first invented him way back when, it was around Ainmire's origin date.
I created him for the same storyline, and he was always created to be the son of a gorgon. He was also supposed to be incredibly evil, and absolutely thrilled to beat the shit out of anyone who crossed his path.
When I used him for an RP with my friend Tara, I realized he wasn't like that at all. In fact, he was actually a very sweet boy, who cared about other people and wasn't very proud of his ability to murder people by turning them into garden statues. He can't fight very well, but he's very adept at running. He will throw himself into things to help the people he cares about. He's incredibly clumsy, and it comes from needing to wear a blind fold twenty four hours a day. When he's not wearing it, he's very lithe and capable.
The drawing is a few weeks old, I drew it during the summer and gave it to my co-worker as a reference for a picture she wanted to draw.
For a long time now, I've wanted to create a character and name it after my favourite fictional character in the world; Sherlock Holmes.
But, I didn't want to create a smooth, super intelligent man like Holmes. I didn't want my homage to my favourite character to be a rip off of my favourite character. In fact, I wanted my Sherlock to be the total opposite Holmes is. I wanted him to be adorable, clumsy, not all that intelligent, but able to hold his own.
Originally, I named him Nikodemus. His design is still exactly the same as it ever was, when I first created him to be a hot tempered dick. Now though, his personality is very different. It wasn't until a couple weeks ago I realized.. Nikodemus is the Sherlock I always wanted to invent. So, I'm renaming him. I'm keeping the character exactly the same, and I'm naming him after my favourite character in the entire world of fiction; my homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
