SciFi and Fantasy Art: Shump the Barbarian

This is Shump an exercise in archetypes. He is now a really fun character to draw and to play but he started as a joke. I used to be a DM and we have a pet peeve when it comes to character backstories because every nine times out of ten it's "Orcs killed my parents" so we created Shump who's parents were killed by orcs. I'll let Shump explain it to you.

"Shump's parents killed by Orcs"

"Um Shump, wasn't one of your parents an Orc?"

"It was a murder suicide."

I've really grown to like Shump, I love the unbridled joy he gets from smashing things which I think his facial expression in this picture captures perfectly.
