What's this? It's not shitty (not deliberately, at least), and it's got nothing to do with Working Men!
Instead, this is an entry for Seventh Sanctum's Extreme Character Contest. The Fantasy Name Generator Extreme gave me "Drake Legend", and the Bishotron gave me the character description, which I've cunningly included within the image itself.
Drake Legend is a badass pirate mage. You will note that his cutlass is roughly as long as he is tall, and that he can shoot fire from his left hand. He can also wreathe the whole thing in flames and straight punch scurvy bilgerats, which is why he keeps it bare. Also pictured is his totally bitchin' armband, which is enchanted to make him waterproof. Guy can swim around with his arm on fire and not even give a care because that's how he rolls.
I'm actually damn proud of how it turned out, after about six hours of off-and-on work on it. Especially the hands. Look at those hands. I used my own for reference, which is why they're so beautiful. :3
UPDATE: Furthermore, if you want to follow the amazing adventures of Drake Legend and two of his extreme peers, you should totally check out ~SuperAshBro's fanart ([link]) and ~persephone-the-fish's fantastic comic-in-progress, starting here: [link]
This is pretty damned awesome. All the entries have been great so far but, personally, I really like him. I could seriously see him in some animated series as a character I fangirl over, lol And I could tell all of that just from the name you chose, nevermind the amazing artwork. And I love the style you drew him in, its reminiscent of Storm Hawks, but still totally original. (And you were right about his hands, they rock.) Awesome job!

...Actually, now that I think about it, his build isn't far off from mine. Just more pronounced pecs.
