Welcome to my character portrait gallery

For anyone who is wondering, Wednesday became 'black Wednesday' for me because I cannot draw mid-week!
In fact I'm sure the rainforests mourn Wednesday too by the amount of paper I tear through in frustration... so this is a blog for all who know what like it is to regularly shout at their pencils
Oh yes it's also all about fictional characters plus interviews with them, yeah, that too :)

Argo Reed

(Kindly posed without his eye-patch)
 Argo Reed is 29 years old, as an opening pointer he enforces that he is a salamander and is not in any way related to reptiles. Having a slight speech impediment, he explains (in as many ways as possible without using the dreaded letter ‘s’) means he often mistaken for a snake.

Seeing the size of the gun he propped in the corner we decided not to mention that this misunderstanding may have something to do with his somewhat secretive and slippery nature.
A sly and rather self-serving man he describes his primary interests as weapons and money. 

Unsurprisingly he works as a mercenary, bounty hunter and assassin. At 5ft 6in he is considerably shorter than his current partner in crime; Charrock. Both are known to be excellent marksmen.

Argo is also a strong swimmer who possesses many valuable abilities from his racial heritage. For example his skin may change colour according to environment (see below). He doesn’t detail the disadvantages but does allude to the reasons behind his eye-patch (not pictured). He explains he can only use one eye at a time as his vision is mismatched, one is best for daylight sniper work, whilst the other sees well in the dark and underwater.

Considering that most of us require two eyes for depth perception we are in doubled in awe that he never misses a target.

(It would have been admittingly more amusing if he turned pink, but we figured asking would mean being added to his hit-list)
