He's really not, but I'd intended to put something beside him that he's thumbing at and just ended up... not doing it. :) Gimme a break, I actually drew TWO things today and I'm posting them both. Let's not get greedy folks. Some of us artists is slow with their meager talent. ;)

Well, this is a character that I'd like to use in a comic strip that I hope to have the talent to begin soon. Hand drawn, Photoshop colored and strange pseudo-slime background for no apparent reason. Just because I could and it looked spiff in the end.

Bryan is the ultimate nice guy, everybody's best friend. His bright, fun-loving personality attracts people despite a genuine shy streak. Generally a happy, energetic, seemingly carefree person, he has a sensitive and serious side that only those closest to him see. The amiable bear is a self-proclaimed pacifist in spite of having a black belt in taekwondo. Whether to defend himself, the honor of a friend, or the life of someone weak in a pinch, he's unafraid to raise fists and feet against the wicked. In those moments, his fearsome conviction and loyalty to friends make him seem like a completely different, and much more intimidating, person.
Though not exactly blessed with brains, Bryan is exceptionally talented at most physical tasks, with impressive strength, speed, and flexibility given his build. Although he doesn't exactly match the standards of traditional beauty, many people find him attractive. His appearance is a combination of complete opposites - rugged yet sophisticated, simple yet stylish, untamed yet civilized, strong yet gentle - that all somehow merge into a home-grown brand of handsome that everyone recognizes and a surprising number find incredibly sexy. Combined with his personality, more than a few find the bear irresistible. Despite that, he doesn't take advantage of that charm, or let it go to his head. In fact, he's often embarrassed by the frequent romantic approaches he receives, no matter who they're from.
Despite being popular with almost everyone, very few people know many details about Bryan's life. He occasionally talks about his hobbies, and will go into a few brief details about his career if prompted, but he quickly clams up on the issue. As for the subjects of his family, past, and love life, he adamantly refuses to say a word. In reality, he has little or nothing to hide, but there are certain things he feels he has to keep close to his heart. He will only share them with certain people, and those people are few and far between.

*WHEW* There's some about him. Working on a second character, soon to be revealed!
