The Sideshow - Character - Goon

[Goon]

<<<Preliminary Sketch>>> (http://sv2.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/imgView.php?imgID=11105)

Gregory Schmelzt-a man of rather dark talents, who because of his conspicuous misproportionment has turned to the sideshow for a living, entertaining the spewling spawn with simple flourishes of his trade while he waits for the blood moon.

BTW, that just a pose, he's not permanently bent over.

[Goon]

Woah there were replies!! Sorry:blush:

Uhh his deformity is being abnormally tall. He has like 8ft long legs. His arms arent quite as long. and he is extremely skinny.

Not quite in the sideshow spirit, but hes coming well so I'll probably finish him then start a real freak.

No ears yet, and the eyes need some work to define them.

He's going to be wearing a waistcoat with tails like orchestra conductors wear.

Nice entry btw bRoKEn CycLE

I have no idea if this idea would make him "deformed" enough, but what if he was permanently bent over? I could see him being freaky enough then. The bend would affect the structure of his hips and rib cage, I think. He'd need a walking cane, or something to reach up and grab stuff.

Is he trying to do a "blue angel" in the sketch? It reminds me of the human skeletons I saw during research.

[Goon]

markw7: that might work but its not really the direction i wanted to go with this.

blue angel? is that some sort of pose?
but the human skeleton seems to be something that could be emphasized quite effectively. thx. I'll see about that.

Well in an attempt to conform more to the spirit of the challenge I am changing ideas.

Just a rough sketch that i tried to paint in (man i need practice).

Oliver Gage entered life in the eighty seventh year of the nineteenth century. His parents, people of the Victorian middle class had quite naturally hid the pregnancy from public knowledge, and so he was born without notice or occasion.

The doctor who delivered him was a bit inebriated during the birthing, and the baby being quite slippery, fell to the floor landing on its face and right arm. The damage unfortunately was permanent. His mother, convinced she had spawned a demon kept him indoors for his entire childhood, preaching the good word and ever praying for his damned sould. In his fifthteenth year he fled the house, venturing out into the street, a pale, ugly child amongst the shocked genteel. Humiliated by the experience, his mother became withdrawn and sickly. The father, a man of rare presence in his life, entered it for the last and final time, taking his neglected sun to the worst part of the docks and casting him from the carriage. His body mishapen, his jaw locked, and his arm too infantile to be of use, Oliver was most unfortunately a man of great intelligence and no way to use it. Shunned by all sophisticated society, he swiftly found the only way to survive was to soak the morbid curiousity people displayed around him. After three years of begging he entered the St. Georges Abominations and Biblical Moral Lessons troupe.
