Description Here's the sketch for the newest addition to my set of characters! He's much less scientific than the rest of my characters, which is nice for a change. I wanted to go more for the medieval fable sort of character rather than the super-sleek, facts-checked, over-studied, correct-anatomy sci-fi sort that I usually go in for.

He's also inspired by AltaΓ―r's armor in Assassin's Creed 2. When Ezio perches on things, his black pointy hood makes him look like a crow. Hope it's not too obviously connected to AC D:

Despite nearly everyone else wanting me to call him "Baldassare", I chose "Giacomo" because he looks like a Giacomo

Name pronounced [JAAH - koh - moh]

The oar he is holding isn't a gondola oar, so I'll change it to the shape sketched lightly to his right. That's the correct style.

Infoes!
-Venetian
-Born 1542
-Makes gondolas and drives them for the Venetian elite
-Usually very quiet and soft-spoken, but will rant extensively and loudly when provoked
-Always has the gondola oar with him. Doubles as a walking stick or weapon.
-Decent swordsman, but terrible marksman
-hood is nearly always up
-Speaks Italian and a little French

-Approx. 6'9"
-Crow (duh)
-No wings, but he has a tail

I'm not usually keen on anthros, but I love this design, probably because it's far more crow-ish than human. I really like those legs & hands.

If not, any sort of meat would work. Or pasta. Or CANNOLI. I love cannoli *U*

He also reminds me of the Giacomo from that Don Bluth animated film version of "Thumbelina". Ever seen it? It is very whimsical compared to this character, though, but the costuming and the fact that he is a bird, I thought that's who he was at first. I like this.

Pythosart In reply to ButterfleyeStudio [2011-04-02 04:47:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, a couple of other people have pointed that out to me. I actually have never seen Thumbelina. I've read the original fairy tale, but I don't recall there being a Giacomo.

Thanks! C:

Pretty awesome I should say. He does look the part, and is very anatomically correct to most crow features intended to look as such (like the head, for what I can see).
