I don't normally upload things I haven't created or worked on myself, but since Merlin isn't on FA, I felt it deserved more exposure.

Basically, she sent me this after seeing  Nyil's rendition of Sydney here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7812389/

Sydney himself is a young incubus character from one of my DMFA-inspired stories. Those familiar with Project Future (which Merlin is now lead artist on) may notice a certain resemblance, but I will say no more because spoilers.

What I will say is that he wanted to be an adventurer as a kid. Like other kids in that region he eventually changed his mind and went off to study something completely mundane instead, but not before the basic training had earned him a nice physique which he was careful to maintain.
That was the plan, anyway. But between university and finding his first job, something happened which would change his life forever. Dun dun duuunnnn...

Thanks again to Merlin for doing this, it was much appreciated.
