Description
UPDATEDAs its evidently clear i have a problem leaving my old stuff well alone! Again just over a years worth of learning to work digitally and seeing the original and wanting to keep a sense of cohesion, I decided to makeover another makeover. I was mostly happy with design so didnt change to much there but my GOD! What was i thinking with that face?! can't believe I had the balls to describe him as an "androgynous beauty" I was also never completely happy with the background. previous versions below
Renshu is a Chinese immigrant who Resides in the seedy side of London's Chinatown. He owns a herbal remedies shop that is in fact an opium den. His androgynous beauty attracts customers of all genders and class. Don't let aesthetics fool you. He is a ferociously destructive character. He hasn't taken too kindly to rival gang leader Frankie "The Smile" Dobbs trying to muscle in on his drug territory with his inferior product.
Renshu is an outstanding martial artist who practices his own combat style aptly named kaboom Kung-Fu. This style incorporates fireworks and gunpowder. His signature weapons are his Catherine Wheel cog bracelets which he can effortlessly ignite by striking them on his copper-toed shoes. For an almighty devastating outburst, he has his gargantuan opium laced firework named Dragon Chaser which also doubles as a rather deadly rocket launcher. Finlally his one-of-a-kind Firecracker nunchaku

Excellent job on the detail and shading of both the foreground and background elements. Good use of colours too.

Thank you I'm quite proud of this revamp as the older version mostly didn't get that much attention compared to this one

Again, your story-building is amazing once again. Dragon Chaser technique for an opium dealer; that's classic, haha! You should put these characters into a compendium of some king.
By the way, I assume that if he's self-taught, he taught himself all of it or did he have some background in kung-fu beforehand?

Thank you again I imagine he was a proficient martial artist to begin with and built upon the techniques he knows

With this series set in Victorian London, England had colonies everywhere so to me it made sense to explore steampunk in other cultures. I also have characters from Japan and India all with a steampunk twist

Sinister and artful! Get the feeling of grace here. His face does remind me of an older Michael Jackson though...

Thank you. I went through so many stock images for this characters background but I always kept coming back to this. There's something about the shape that looked quite asian
