Mmmm. Dekker backstory. Yes. All my yes.
He's such a butt, but hey, this is a good basis for great character development. I can only imagine how much he struggled before getting his life back in order. Sometimes a wake-up call is the only way to kickstart your life.

Backstory is the best. The besssst. I think on it all the time just never draw anything to do with it D:

I AM SO WITH YOU THERE. I don't ever draw/write my backstory, actual story, side stories, or ANY story. I'm such a looooooser xD

One of the most atmospheric pieces I've seen in a while. You deserve so much more faves for this...

Thank yooou. I honestly don't know what the scratching marks are - I added them thinking it would be something Dekker would do, but without really purpose. I suppose they're either days, months, years, or times he's been knocked about - like counting each time he wound up on his arse or bleeding. Either or ;D

The mood, shading, texture, and arrangement I think are great! You tell a story with your picture: a little boy is in a small attic, counting the days with scratches in the walls until he can leave and travel to some place--or maybe all places--on that map. He's hopeful that someday he'll get out, which is shown by the ray of light coming in. Only detraction is that there are some perspective issues with the rug and how the blankets drape to the floor (they don't pool in the way they should at the bottom).

Thank you! I see what you mean, and did tweak the perspective a little on the rug and attempt something with the blanket, but ideally I'd redraw it all - perspective and folds have never been my strong point!

Oh yeah, I agree he'd probably be diagnosed with something, I've thought that before. Not entirely sure what though since my knowledge of personality disorders is pretty limited >.>
He is pretty much a loner, if only because most people get put off by how he can be a little stand offish or odd around them, but he warms up quickly to anyone who bothers to try and understand him - win his trust and you actually see what he's like underneath the layers of nope xD I find him positively easy to write with, I suppose because I know him, but because it's fun to have the contrast of him acting around his friends and others he comes across. He's definitely nowhere near as bad with people as he was when he was younger though - he was a lot more adverse to people back then. He's opened his eyes quite a bit with age ;D
Thank you for your comment, as well, I always like reading them from you C:
