Today (well, yesterday, but didn’t actually get to it since Sims 3 distracted me) i randomly had a mental image of a character in a certain pose, from an extreme angle, and wanted to see if i could pull it off.
i don’t particularly like drawing random characters, so decided to try drawing a modern-day version of Merc from the Chaos webcomic Mae and i plan to do eventually. Don’t think it really looks like him, though. If anything it ended up looking more like a young!Worth <<;; OTL.
i know it’s not very obvious from his outfit who he’s supposed to be, and it was deliberate since i thought shoes with wing designs or a cauduceus would be too anvilicious even for me. It’s only hinted at by the shopping bags at his feet, and the fact that he’s standing at crossroads (being that Mercury/Hermes is pretty much the god of transactions, boundaries and the patron of merchants, amongst other things).

Edit: i updated the pic earlier, but it’s still showing the old one for me >> Might be my cache. Anyway, was just to add blue to the lines of the vest and to the tie. Also, i made a quick wallpaper version for my work comp: here.
