This is Marcus. He's a mafioso, he's intimidating and he's totally pissed!
Remember, the most important rule of being a mafioso is to dress properly.
I think the gun still looks weird and I can't seems to draw sexy hands (or paws) as usual. :(

I think he's really awesome! X3 And "mafioso" was the first thing I thought when I had a look at the thumbnail in my postbox. Keep up the good work! By the way, i don't think those hands/paws are bad. I would only say that the thumb of his left hand looks a little short, but that's about it. X3 Good work on the suit, by the way. X3
It's must be because his gun that made you think like that.
Thank you, I just want to draw hands that look more hmmmmm... spectacular I guess.

I meant the other one. XD his left hand, but the right hand from the viewer. XD Sorry, my fault.^^; I think the gun holding hand is pretty cool. X3
No no, you're misunderstood. I meant it because the gun that make you think he's a mafia.
Now it is my fault
Now it is my fault
Aha1 Now I get it! I'm sorry.^^;;;; Anyway, awesome picture! *laughs* Sorry for the confusion. =(

hah! this is awesome, i do love me some explosions! You have such a cool style, im gonna have to commission you sometime :)
:0 i dont know if i could do you justice, but that would be awesome!
Great picture, Defago. I like all the little touches you have put in; his mane flying, his tie loose at his neck and that pin-stripe suit. Definitely a gangster from the 1930's.
The pawhand you have him gripping his "chopper" with is excellent. *envy*
If I can offer a slight criticism it is that his machine gun is a bit too small. (REF PIC: http://www.nfatoys.com/tsmg/ and particularly the pic on the site's home page). The "tommy gun" (Thompson submachine gun) was a two-handed weapon that even without its wooden stock measured almost as long as your arm from shoulder to wrist.

Gotta love furry gangster eh? :)
Hey maybe this guy is way big so the gun is a little small compare to him. (It's a joke of course) :-P

You are 100% right, Defago! It occured to me after I made the comment that Marcus could be such a BIG fellow the Thompson would look smaller in his paws. That was stupid of me not to realize that.
Would like to see you do more gangster pics. You captured the feel of the 1930's in Marcus' clothes and even the background. That and he IS a handsome fellow. *blushes*

No, you are not stupid. It's maybe true that Marcus is big but he should use a bigger gun or maybe a customize thompson that's suitable for his size.
So I'm still fail on the small gun. XD
I used to plan on doing a gangster comic before I did the Smokebite comic, you know. I'm getting pull by the old age day by day as you can see. :)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY my fave gun ever TOMMY GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice job love the pic very much like me lol
I love this!
As for the gun looking weird, I think it might be that it's too small. Everything is a little too close together for that style of gun. I played a gangster in a play back in April and got to use one of those.
I could be completely wrong about that, since my art skills are lacking, but I'm usually pretty good at pointing things out at least. :)
BTW, the paws look great, IMO.

Thanks. I think you are right about the gun. When I zoom out the gun really did look too small.
Fail XD
Fail XD
I really love the character, the wavy clothes, and the pose
FACT: cool guys never look at explosions.

That fact is so true! Sometime they just ran from explosions and did some awesome jump XD
da nah nah-nah nah-nah
On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said "leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone

Before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone

I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad

And when I walk the streets
Kings and Queens step aside
Every woman I meet
They all stay satisfied

Nice lyric! What is the name of the song and by who? I want to listen to it :)
It's a classic.
You can watch the "official" music video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhJ.....xI&ob=av3n
The group is "George Thorogood & The Destroyers" off of their 1982 Bad to The Bone album. Other groups, such as ZZ Top have done versions of it though.

I think I like the Ghost Rider fan-made video better.
Also, a short version of the song was used in the opening of the movie "Christine" about a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury.

Yeah...we already talked about how well you render clothing, right? =D
I must say, the color red is distributed nicely throughout this pic: the underside of his jacket, the entirety of his tie, and his mane which has a sinister glow about it thanks to the fire (magnificent shading there)! ^^
His bright blue eyes really draw a lot of attention to the face; speaking of which, I love how the head is just slightly tilted...also, those whiskers glistening like knives!
An excellent piece, Defago!

I love suit with inner color like this so much! Too bad I don't own any XD
I am quite satisfy with how I draw eyes these day but I should try to draw more realistic whiskers.

Out of the doorway the bullets ripaaaaaaaa to the sound of the beat
bum bum bum
Another one bites the dust
Great piece =3 I really don't see anything wrong with the hands and the only problem with the gun is what Sparf said, a bit too small. Otherwis this is a fantastic piece of AWESOME X3

The only thing I see wrong with the gun is while it does seem a bit small, the thing that stands out to me is that the handle of the gun he's holding looks like it's twisted in a different direction than the rest of it (Since the handle in his hand looks like it's going to the left of the picture whereas the rest of the gun is going to the right of it). When it comes to the hands I think his right hand looks perfect the way that it is, his left only seems like the palm is a bit on the thin side, but it could be from his sleeve covering up the back of his hand.
With that out of the way, I must say I really love how you did this piece! The overall design and flow of this piece makes it feel very dynamic and cinematic, the pinstripes flowing with the folds in the suit is a great eye for detail, I think you did a very wonderful job with this piece, bud! :)

You have it absolutely correct, sir! I say just about the same thing on my profile.

Nu-uh, the most important rule of being in the mafia is to remember omato, the code of silence. Did I even spell it right?
Tommy-Gun is a little short but I don´t see what´s wrong with the claws...actually I´m more afraid of them than of the gun :D
Well gun<bad ass lion. But I think you are right, together they are even more intimadating
