Requested and oc by @RetroHeadTaken.

The name of the character was not specified, therefore I made up the title based on my take towards the character's theme and motivation.

About the approach towards this piece, I used clusters/chunks of pixels for blocking out the parts of the character and highlights of the armor and gun. This approach is my first time so it was an exhilirating experience (and a bit stressful of that).

It was more of a rhetoric question, pj is not famous for massive clout anyways. You are a solid uprising artist, you'll get more attention in future for sure, I bet. Keep up good work.

I really appreciate it, and my thought about why it only has 2 favorites because its too eerie, especially when considering seeing my usual vibrant and lively artworks. 

Towards this piece I also thought that maybe there are some people who thought something bad might have happened to me because of the sudden shift of my art's tone when it's just that I tried something new.

Additionally, frankly I'm a bit uncomfortable doing the weapon because it's a gun, so I guess others may have find it uncomfortable too? I only ended up drawing it because it was part of the character I referenced with.

As for what you've mentioned for the armor's brown colors they are kinda intended to be both. One to hopefully make it look kinda old despite with the given highlights, and two just to make reflections of varying sources on its surface. I had these in mind during its wip because I'd love to have people get their own interpretations about it.

Regardless, I really appreciate the thought about the favorites!

I've noticed brown color. I wasn't sure if it's a rust or a reflection, or was just added to add more color dynamics. Either way it certainly fits and does the job.  I really like it and Idk why it only has 2 favourites.

Thank you very much, I'm honored! As for the lighting I thought it would be interesting to add reflections too beyond the body itself.

This was also experimental with using brownish colors for the armor, as well as making the smiley with a paint-like texture so it means a lot to me.

Wow, this should get more attention. Good job, good work on lighting. I like iron texture as well as a touch of yellow with that mask.

I intentionally made the body gesture goofy so that it could emphasize the eeriness of the character (might be due to unpredictability of their possible actions/demeanor), so I'm glad that you pointed it out!

While his body language is friendly he is still very frightening! Nice job
