WIP sketch – Harley

Working on a new pic… planning to take my time with it and really work on lighting and the landscape.  Finished the initial sketch:

The character is my own, his name is Harley (birth name was Hans).  He’s a character I created for an online ARPG (art roleplaying – where characters interact via written essays and art created between 2 or more people and their characters).

Harley has never felt very “at home” since he lost his sister to hunters.  Abandoned by their parents when the pack fled, Harley (then, Hans) and his sister were left to die or make it on their own.  Once Hans’ sister was captured and taken while he went to search for help, he continued on his way alone for the next several years of his life.  Harley renamed himself with the encouragement of a friend who he grew very close to in the second pack he stayed with during his second spring and summer.  But he kept his wishes to himself, as she was courted by another male who Harley knew she appreciated very much.  Harley has kept his new name in order to try and lessen the past memories and guilt he continues to carry with him in his prime.  He left the pack and has roamed ever since, settling with different families to try and find his new home.
