My character Merric again, just a close up.  His story is explained in the other picture of him, but if you don't feel like reading that monster of a story, then here's a brief summery:

Merric grew up like anyother kid is suberbia.  A dull and mundane life.  He drank, he smoked, he partied for days on end.  But there was one thing different about him that even he didn't know.  He's an angel incarnate.  Not the sort that religions and psychic's speak of, this sort can show their true self in physical form.  But it takes a great deal of emotional despair for them to be able to even recognize that they are different from anyone else, because when this despair hits them, their energy releases and their wings tear themselves from the individuals body.  The process is incredibly painful mentally, emotionally, and physically as one can imagine.
Merric's despair was triggered by the murder of his family and being the wittness of his 6 year old sisters death.  Yes, he has a very sad story, but it does get better for him.

 

I just wanted to try a close up of him.  I'd like to draw more of him and continue his story, just need to find the time... 

Done in pencil and touched up on the computer.  Anyhow, enjoy!

You did a really good job on his features -- they're very dark and exemplify his emotionally tortured history. Very nice work again!
