Description
This man is currently a very wealthy merchant in the southern trade city-states. Only recently has he come into power as an independent financial force. Originally married into a position as treasurer of the powerful Culnacci family, he was privy to many a goings on in the region. Made aware of the date planned for a riot and coup to overthrow the administration of a neighbouring city-state, he surreptitiously snuck off to the troubled area with the Culnacci seal. There he proceeded to use the familyβs reputation to take out huge loans from the cityβs major banks. He paid a fraction of this wealth to several cutthroats and promised more on the condition that they burn to the ground every bank specified amidst the chaos of the impending uprising. When the uprising came, all proceeded well, and the records of the loans were destroyed. He had his wife poisoned, invested his gains, had the rogues hanged when they returned for their pay, and now lives comfortably hopping from one riverfront property to the other with his twenty concubines.He dresses in the expensive, but worn clothes of a style that has become laughably out of date. His cane is actually a smooth bore matchlock musket. The barrel employs the Gerlich effect, which prevents the ball from falling out the end (as he always keeps it loaded after a Culnacci made an attempt on his life).

I love the slight colour you add to your work. This is beautiful. Like so many have said....incredible detail. He looks like a scoundrel.
I like how your works look like they've been aged, it adds very much to the character and their description. heh, this almost looks like it could be an illustration for a Magic the Gathering card.
Incredible work.

Such an interesting character.. It isn't only detailed in the picture, but the story also whitch follows him. I like his appearance very much, he's tall and skinny and seems a bit ticked off and angry. The facial structure is really beautiful also. Brilliant eye for details you have!

Once again the level of detail blows me away And I love how you put his story along with it. Adds a lot to a picture when you know more of a characters story. Very unique style. I like it more than I can express. What medium did you use to make this if you don't mind me asking?
