[[UPDATE/EDIT, June 2oo8: Fixed his face, right hand etc. Now he looks much better! :) Here he is before I fixed him up: don't look; I'm fucking embarrassed.]]


Detective Inspector McFinn (and that...thing, sign, there, behind him...is supposed to be the famous rotating sign in front of the entrance to New Scotland Yard, albeit slightly modified) for the Calendar Art Jam.

About McFinn:
Not your average "black male" character. In (especially American) films, black men tend to be portrayed as...overbearing, over-enthusiastic, big-mouthed and obsessed with "bling-bling" and posh cars, etc. McFinn is the opposite of that type of character. He's exceptionally good-humoured, kind, calm, collected - and he speaks "proper" English.
He doesn't much care for superfluous things; he buys what he needs, and not much beyond that. He enjoys playing video-games, though.
In short, he's my imaginary boyfriend. No, wait, that's Zell... Er, McFinn would be my 2nd choice, then.



Progress:
WiP I -> WiP II -> WiP III -> finished piece

Graphite pencils; watercolours; black ink pens; coloured pencils; PhotoShop7.

Sushi is not "raw fish". It's "flavoured rice" - occasionally served with raw fish. Tch.
Now, get off my seaweed roll of reality.

Haha, I know I've said this in the comments on the WIPs of this, but I love love love his feet :XD: I also really like his sweater vest - I want it!

Oooooo, I really like his vest! Looks great on him. He looks like he'll make a great detective.
