Thanks for the compliment

Ah, I love his tough-guy expression. I love the colors you used as well; they stand out well.

, I have to admit, he kind of looks like one of those newspaper delivery boys!

Thanks. I wanted the piece to have a 1930's feel. Like a young bruiser who hopes to grow up and join the mafia!

He really thinks he's a tough guy, doesn't he? He sells newspapers in his spare time
