Orestes Yambouranis, AKA The Minotaur
----
Age 37
7’5” , 286 Lb/ 130 kg
Black hair
Black eyes
Medium Dark skin

Languages: Greek, Broken English

Weapon: 357 Taurus w/ scope

The Minotaur grew up in a Greek Orphanage. Suffering daily humiliation on account of his gigantism, and severe scoliosis. The mildly retarded giant, grew to detest children after frequent accounts of horrendous abuses. Once released from the orphanage he was picked up as muscle by one of the islands small organized crime groups.

Quickly rising through the ranks, the Minotaur became feared and reviled in criminal under-world as the hitman that would take the jobs no one else would consider. Mostly he is contracted for women and children.

It is rumored that he “collects” the distal small finger bone from every hit, and he keeps them in his trophy briefcase, which he never parts with.

:iconislamaia:
Viewing your work from a "commercial" perspective: This visual is a fascinating one. You have managed to capture the raw hardness in spirit through the scarred expression of the character, the position and movement of his head and the slouch of his shoulders. I particularly like your work on his features, the jacket and the details of his firearm. It easily conveys the image of a "thug" and a dangerous one, so you have succeeded in illustrating the spirit of the character and delivering his viled mission and "objective" as a heartless assassin of women and children.

On the "collection" of the distal small fingers of his victims - that would mean close encounter hits ... and sufficient time to remove that particular body-part ... the briefcase may not enable movement for that, but I suppose you'll have it illustrated for us in the next instalment.

Fascinating piece.
