Breathless

Character development #39- Scars

When Bryan was young, he had an encounter with the Drakobitus, where he stabbed him with a sword, Equity, which sent a poison into his body which forced his wound not to close, even though his father was healing him as it happened.

As a consequence of this scar, Bryan struggles to breathe with the magical scar going through his lungs and heart. Because he grew up with his air magic breathing for him, if he over exerts his air magic, he'll collapse to the ground. He'll stay unconscious til either someone breathes for him, restarting his lungs, or he'll die of oxygen deprivation. 

The scar goes right through his torso, through his lung, heart, and all his organs in the way to the side of his body. The scar is magical, so it's just an empty space, but it debilitates his abilities to the level of an unfit person. Bryan needs to rebuild his stamina, while using his lungs to breathe to get stronger again- a slower process than he'd like.

    The pose and anatomy are great, but the way you rendered his skin and pants are so pleasing to look at. I love it! Big Smile Heart

      Thank you- I've been trying to find ways of shading skin so it's not so clunky and suits my style Smile I had a good reference for this picture which helped a lot with getting the shadows right too Smile

    My poor princey-poo. He does cut a very nice figure despite his disability though.

      Ah- yes Smile The powers of youth, a high metabolism, and enough angst to burn midnight oil XD One way or another he's doing it XD I'm envious XD

    Love how graceful this figure looks. His expression is so thoughtful. Poor Boo, not being able to be a badass because of the hole in his chest.

      Yeah, in the campaign, Bryan tried using his air power to fly, and ended up collapsing on the ground, then gasped for air after running for 5 min. He exploded a lettuce trying to practice his earth powers cause his air powers didn't agree with it and he went unconscious doing a finishing move in a battle- Kiri had to give him a breath so he could wake up XD poor Bryan is very frustrated at being fragile. He could've become very powerful before this scar T.T

        Poor Bryan. It makes sense for that to be so important to him - he's trying to do big things after all.

          Yeah- he puts a lot of burden on himself to do that thing at the same capability he did before the incident too. He knows what his potential was and now isn't. It's a hard reality for him to accept Sad
