well, first of all, thx for the ppl on the forum who helped with the proportions porblems (Peach, thx). I know there are some other problems and stuff, but im kinda tired of working on this... the face and legs specially bug me. I tried to keep it more simple, as his supposed to be more manga-ish (plus, hes supposed to be set in "modern" times) He was supposed to be holding a coin, a cigar and a guitar pcik, but they were unnoticeable so i left it this way.

About Totora (Tora for short): Tora (16 yrs old) is a "tone-hunter"; treasure hunters who search the world for mytical melodies. Tora's goal is to find the "Marvel sonata", so he can bring back his dead sister, killed by his own father in a crazy attempt to create his own ultimate sonata. He was born in a little island in the pacific, and he's a musical genious. He mainly plays the guitar.

Tora carries many objects (mainly guitar picks) in bags attached to his legs, wich he can thrown as projectiles at great speed in combat, due to his extremely agile hands. He has an obsession with coins, wich he keeps in his coin holder. Part of his obsession is, almost always, making decisions based on head or tails. He's also and avid smoker, and sleeps a lot.

Tried to summarize the most i could, but i just love writing backstories hehe. Sry for my english.

great job man, I like it! =) Specially those bags on the legs are cool, I dont watch manga and I dont know who this guy is :P I thought it was a female at first look but then I read the descripton :P

But there is one thing I noticed, just above his chest, at the beginning of his throat, it looks kinda wierd like if there is something under the skin :S Oh, nvm after 5 minutes of looking at it I realized that it is those bones. I also think his throat is a bit to high, but since it's manga I guess it doesn't really matter ( ? ) But great job man! =D

ya pretty weird huh? he was going to have pouches on both arms and legs, and a coin holder in the leg 2, but im such a lazy ass that i left it this way... plus it looked overly-detailed too i guess, i didnt want that this time. Maybe ill add them or change this in sometime, but right know im stressed out xD


user

 Oh wow, creative, good job overall, I really like the shadings on the clothes (yes the shorts also).  

But pouches on the legs?  Thats quite unusual...
