character depth 

Ivan is an OC of my fictive world robinia. He is the leader of the only independant kingdom on the robinian mainland. Without being a part of the robinian kingdom, his nation is isolated from trade and trapped inside the woody area that is their home. That is probably why the lifestyle of those people is still very savage in comparison to the rest of the mainland, and it is not unusual even for a king to go out into the forest chopping trees and hunting. Their lifestyle also concludes in a very rough, natural and close-to-nature look. Ivan is a romantic and gentle idealist, but he feels the heavy burden of his underdeveloped and starving folk and is resolved to turn the cards of his nation to the better.

working process 

After Rego and Melio I was happy to portrait a very rough and manly man this time. I have a thing for the lumberjack and nature-boy theme that is also again popular in our modern time. Although I didnt intend to make his skin that dark, cause his kingdom is in the nothern part of the mainland, I somehow got back to this skin color all the time, and I guess it still fits, since he and his folk spend most of their time outsides. In the coming month I also plan to release his illustration as well as NSFW version, which emphasize his theme even further
