Alphonse LeClaire

This is the main character from my story 'Mechanical Resonance'. I'm aware the background is horrible, I'm aware he's standing on a suspiciously sketchy box, and I'm aware that his mechanical arm looks less than gossamer. That's not his arm's final design, by the way. I'm planning on making it look freakin' awesome.

And yes his skin is supposed to be that colour. It's because of the genetic remodeling he's undergone and the fact that instead of our lovely oxygen/nitrogen mix he has to breathe a combination of gases that would kill a human right away. He leads a tough life. And if that makes you the least bit interested go read his story. It's right here.

Anyhow, I recently bought a tablet, cause I've always wanted one, and needless to say I love it. It beats photoshopping with a mouse any day, and yields much batter results.

If you can help by pointing out any flaws (of which there are a literal ton of), or giving me some photoshop tips, I'd be very grateful.

Also also: LeClaire, good or bad surname? It came to me and now it won't leave, and I'm not sure if I should change it or not.

And just so you all know, it was drawn by hand and coloured in photoshop.
